Stretching/Pulling sensation in stomach at 10 DPO?

[durhamjk1]

I have heard of others post that they had a stretching or pulling senation in their stomach prior to getting a BFP.   I was wondering if anyone could confirm this and tell me what it exactly felt like.  I have had some strange fellings in my abdominal region and I will try to describe them:

My lower stomach (below my belly button) feels tight and sometimes, when I move a certain way it feels like I am having muscle cramps or a stabbing sensation.  The cramping/stabbing senation is isolated on one side and like I said only happens when I move a certain way.  

Just wondering if this could be related to pregnancy or if I am just hoping - Thanks, Karen

my bbt is higher then  its ever been.... i'm up to 98.6 I'm very accurate w/ taking my temps. no one answered my post  earlier...  i'm 16dpo and if AF was coming would my temps be getting lower not higher????? they've never ever been 98.6. do u think I should retest? and when?

I forgot some things,
I mentioned the stretch marks and didn't tell you why.
haha

What I MEANT to say was that that stretching feeling on your tummy is probably your skin trying to stretch to suit your uterus.
Inwhich WILL result in stretch marks MOST LIKELY.

My skin is NOT flexable at all.
So if I don't watch it, I could get them very easily.
I'm gunna be looking into this stuff called coco butter cream and goats milk cream.
It's supposed to make your skin more flexable and should relieve any uncomfortable stretching feelings you may get once you've been using it for a while.
Cuz honestly, I liked my stomach, but now... it's just like, Ugh.
I got a couple, I REALLY don't want anymore... but that's what I get for getting knocked up I guess?

Well I'm 12 weeks and I already have stretch marks formed and still forming cuz I used to have a pretty tight, flat tummy.
I know... GREAT huh.
::Wink Wink::

But that tight stabbing pain man...
I've been experiencing that also these past maybe I'd say Month?
And it's ONLY on my RIGHT side.
And  it only happens when I try to get up only using my stomach muscles to life myself.
I try so hard not to do that anymore, and if I'm on my back I'll roll over onto my stomach then use my arms to lift myself up so I can stand... but once in a while I'll accidentally do it and it HURTS!
I end up having to lay back down till it goes away.

God if I ever ended up in a sticky situation where I had to get up quickly and it meant my life if I didn't, I'd probably be screwed. LOL

I know how you feel.  Last cycle I had a 49 day cycle!  Talk about praying for AF!  Just hang in there.  It'll happen!

[lacy5]

If i'm not preggo i just want AF to get here so I can try again,

[msgorgeous]

i took a hpt this morning and it was negitive not even a faint line what so ever, i just had thought i was i was so sure i was ,and now im just baffled to say the least

[durhamjk1]

That's about what I had.  I couldn't describe the feeling, but I knew it wasn't normal at all and now I know why.  Keep us posted and hope you get a BFP!

[msgorgeous]

i believe this is your month!!!

[lacy5]

"underwear" just so you all know I can spell.. LOL I just read what I posted I'm a dork LOL

[lacy5]

I've been having a really weird tight/stretching feeling as well its very low.... like prob. right where you underwhere line runs across your lower area.. I wear low rise so its about 2 1/2 inches below my belly button!!! w/ a extra warm crampy feeling.... I hope I get a faint line when I test!!!

[durhamjk1]

Thanks! I have been taking prenatal vitamins, but just the OTC kind. My ob/gyn prescribed me some and no I have to make a trip to  CVS to get the script filled.    

[msgorgeous]

that would be soo very kool if we were both pregnant had were due around the same time lol i will definetly keep you posted, oh and i just wanted to let you know that if your not taking folic acid now would be a good time to start i read that takin folic acid before and during early pregnancy will help your baby grow heathy it helps with the spinal cord and the brain takin it reduces the chance of having birth defects up to 70 percent

[durhamjk1]

No it doesn't sound crazy.  I tested this morning with first morning urine and it was so very faint.  I know that if I tested any other time it probably would have been a BFN.  I would definitely wait.  Good luck and keep me posted!

[msgorgeous]

thank you so very much :) i was going to test this morning but i had to pee soo very bad and didnt have time to get my hpt soo ill proly test in the morning, cuz id rather use the morning pee to make my chances of a bfp higher lol sounds crazy i know but i want this so very bad :)

[durhamjk1]

Well then I have high hopes for you, because that is similar/same as to what i was feeling!  Good luck and lots of baby dust to ya!  When are you going to test?

[msgorgeous]

well on the 13th i had pink spotting only when i wiped, the next day i had experianced brown like discharge it was not a period what so ever and it came a week early my period never came, i took a hpt over a week ago bfn but im still experiancing the pulling sensation through out the day, i did some research online yesterday about the pulling sensation during early pregnancy and its very common and is considered a symptom for most women

[durhamjk1]

Thanks!  Where are you at in you cycle?  Are you still experiencing the cramping?  

[msgorgeous]

i know it may be a lil early to congratulate you but it was a faint line the best of luck to you and lots of very sticky baby dust to you when you retest and if by chance its not what you hoped dont feel disappointed i know its hard not to but theres always next month many woman feel like this as i do but i try to stay positive dont let it get you down my dear :)
