Was anybody dizzy or off balance when they first got preg.

Hi girls!  I haven't really posted here before b/c I'm only 30 soon to be 31..but a lot of you girls have helped me out in the past months and most of you are preg. now so I figured I would ask...First CONGRATS everybody!!!!  Today is 13DPO for me and I have symptoms but we all know how that goes.  Well the past couple of days I have had dizzy spells..more like spells of being off balance...kind've like vertigo...Has this happened to anybody who is preg.  Also can you guys look at my chart and tell me what you think?  Does the box on Sat. mean that's when af is due or that is when I can test?  Thanks girls!

I was really dizzy right around the 4 wk mark also.  Went away a little later.  Doing good at almost 21 wks now.  I'm betting everything will be fine.  Good luck!

I'm about 4 weeks pregnant and have started getting real nausea's along with a lot of dizziness. especially when I look downwards. Even when sitting down. Idk what it is, i need to speak with my doctor about it. But I'm hoping its nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the advice girls.  It happened again yesterday a couple of times.  I took another test this morning and this may sound crazy it was negative or at least I think it was...  I didn't have to pee as much as I thought and the test did say it was working but when I looked at it I could see a line where I knew the line would be...does that make any sense?  It's as if the line was so light that it wasn't a line but I could tell where the line would be.  DH looked at it and said that he saw it too.  That's still a negative, right?

Hi. I can certainly say that since getting pregnant, I have been getting light headed diziness here and there, but worse, bouts of severe vertigo ( where the room suddenly spins out of control ) that thankfully only last a few seconds. This has been a prob for me for years on and off, but it happens a lot more frequently since falling preg. Weird.... I never got morning sickness..just the diziness..

I hope yours is a good sign...Good luck with your testing!

eieehi-  I thought I might be preg. too...but I got a BFN this morning.  IDK somebody mentioned maybe I'm only 13DPO b/c 1DPO I took my temps at a different time and I was sleep deprived.  I had a positive OPK on the 25th of Jan. and o cramps.  So I thought I o'ed on Fri but maybe I o'ed on Sat?  I don't know...feeling discouraged.  I felt dizzy again today....thanks for the positive thoughts!

Hi, I think you are pregnant.  I felt very dizzy during the first couple of weeks.  I still do feel dizzy and light headed a lot.  I was expecting to have morning sicknesses, I got myself prepared for it with my morning sickness emergency bag and everything, and it never came.   I guess I should consider myself very lucky.  Congratulations, MOM

I'm no where close to 35 but love the women on here and most of them I to met on the fertility board but I did have dizziness and still do at time and it can be from pregnancy.  Mostly the cause is your sinuses....trust me your sinuses go crazy when you're pregnant I still get dizzy at times....

good luck and I hope you join us soon

With my first pregnancy I wasn't expecting AF for another week, but I was in the shower and started to feel faint with a flash of nausea.  I sat on the bench and opened the door to get some fresh air.  I passed out and fell out of the shower.  My poor DH came rushing in to see what had happened and found me on the floor.
I had bruises and scrapes and the women at work were guessing I was pregnant before I even could test.

melimel-
I'm so scared to test. It's funny I feel  like if I don't test af will never come...haha.  I might wait till Sat.  ff says I should test then.  Last month I got af 12DPO and no sign yet...

I just feel like I'm dizzy all the sudden and I'm eating so it can't be my blood sugar.  My blood pressure is low normal so maybe it's that or my hormones.  I had a m/c in June and this never happened when I was preg. last time.  I'm glad to hear that this can be a sign.  Thanks!

Oh, good luck with immigration!

Melanie,
I remember you too!  Congrats...wow you are far along...that's so great to see!  I hope you feel better.  I also saw that everybody from the fertility forum have come here after the got BFP.  Sometimes I come on here to read how people are doing but I don't really respond....since I'm not preg. yet..or maybe I am...LOL.  

I'm sooooo scared to test.  Being in denial is much more fun...LOL.  My temps look good but they always go up before they go down.  The dizzy thing is weird...I really don't like that feeling...I do have symptoms but they could be af symptoms too....I figure I will test on Sat. if no af tomorrow.  

Feel better...hopefully I will be able to join you guys soon!

Hi! I remember you from the fertility forum. I'm not 35 either but all the women I knew from fertility are here now so, here I am too!

I can't really help you. I don't remember if I was dizzy or not in the beginning.  Maybe a little...  As for your chart, at 13 dpo you should be able to have an accurate pregnancy test result. I tested at 12 dpo and had a bfp. You can definitely test now!  Good luck!
