early preg. symtoms?

by nwmom, Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM
Hi all, I'm about 6 days from when af is supposed to arrive and it is absolutely driving me crazy!!!  It seems like every month I'm fine with the wait until just about this time and then I just can't stop thinking about it.  I even took a hpt (early response) today which I know is just crazy.  I thought to myself as I took it "why am I doing this, just wait a couple more days!"  Oh well guess I just needed to vent.  I do have one question,  how early have any of you felt preg. symptoms.  My bbs have been feeling heavy and sensitive for the last couple of days although that does happen right before af and when I stretch from one side to the other I have some cramping in my abdomen.....
thanks for listening!

I'm in the same boat!!  Expecting AF on or around the 15th.  Just started light spotting two days ago, slight cramping, and very very sore nipples.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed but the waiting is so horrible this time each month!!

by nwmom, Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM
It's always nice to hear someone else is going through the same thing.  I'm also due to start on the 15th.  Not too much time to wait, just need to keep myself busy....good luck to you, hope you get a BFP!!!

I was able to test 5 days before AF...so you weren't too crazy testing at day 6 LOL...it took everything in me to wait that long!  I am keeping my fingers crossed for both of you!!!

One more person in the same boat. I had one spot of blood 2 days ago and due to start my period thursday. I also have been having mild cramping. These 2 things have gotte my hopes up again...i guess we'll just have to wait and see. Good luck and prayers to all.

me too with the 15th...no soreness but some slight nausea and been pretty tired...too soon to test for me...before my last m/c i didn't get a bfp until almost 2 weeks late...sticky baby dust to all of us!

wow. i am in the same boat too. I am suppose to test on Friday and expect AF on Thursday but since I am on progesterone, I won't get it until I stop (or if I get a BFN)...
I have been having cramping on my right lower abd and then all of a sudden today it stopped almost completely. So weird... What could this mean? The wait stinks...

Thinking of you all...

Hi I am also due the 15th for af and am hoping she is not showing! I want to test so badly but have been disappointed the past few months when I do that so I am trying to wait till I am late.  My boobs have the heavy feeling too and almost stretchy feeling in lower stomach area..... I hope it is the month for all of us!
Baby Dust to ALL!

by nwmom, Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM
Wow!  It's funny how so many of us are waiting for the 15th!  Thanks for all of the input.  Hopefully we'll all have some great news soon!

by Lacey191, Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM
I'm also due for AF on the 15th, I've already taken 5 HPT, I'm obsessed all BFN!

I want to join the club with you guys, but a am due on the 10th or 11th of this month. I have been have the same signs. n,c sbs, tiredness, mood swings, so i'm hoping for some luck to. I have taken about 7 hpt, crazy huh.  The last few months have been sad. I m/c the last of  july.

by SueGre, Jan 09, 2007 12:00AM
I'm expecting AF on the 16th. I tested the last 3 days with early-pregnancy-tests.com test strips and they were all BFNs. They claim you can get an accurate result as soon as 6-8 dpo, and best results after 9dpo, but I don't know if I believe it – or at least I don't WANT to believe it!

Ahhhhhh I hate the TWW!!!

Best of luck to all you wonderful ladies!

I got no pregnancy symptoms until I was five weeks, six days. I had completely normal pms symptoms after ovulation and believed I was not pregnant because it was the first month nothing "felt" different. However, I got my first BFP at 11dpo (VERY faint), four more BFP at 12dpo (still faint), and verified at the dr's office at 13dpo. It is pretty rare to have symptoms a week before af is due because a lot of people haven't even had implantation at that time (average timeframe for implantation is 5-10 days, but it can occur much later). I personally had no implantation spotting (apparently this only happens in about 50% of pregnancies at the most), and my nausea didn't start until the day before I turned six weeks (I know some women start during the fifth week, some the sixth, and some not until the seventh or after). Best wishes to you!

Yeah, The few symptoms that I have had are all pretty much af symptoms too so really not trying to get my hopes up.  I do remember with my dd I didn't get any nausea or moringing sickness util well into my 6th week.  It's just frusterating to have the sore bbs and cramping and knowing it could easily be the normal week before af.  The wait continues.... hee hee!

A friend of mine had her second baby in September. She said she had cramping like she was going to get her period, but it felt worse, and that's when she tested positive.  She said a coworker of hers (who was pregnant at the same time) reported the same symptoms.  I guess it varies for everybody, but from what I've read, most people have symptoms like they're going to get their period, except they never get it.  The wait is awful :o(
