Is it insane to feel pg on CD29?

[Mommi_Hopeful]

Greetings mommies and mommies to be.

I am a 29 year old young woman who has been ttc consistently for about 3 or 4 months. I am a horrible symptom spotter possibly the worst. So much so that I tried ttc a couple years back and just knew I was pg and the heart break of seeing AF kinda delayed my baby fever.

Now, I am doing my best not to SS but it's super hard not to wonder what's up with your body during the 2ww. I was hoping the mommies online could help me prepare for what may or may not be about to happen.

I'm not sure when I ovulated bc my cycle has been a little off. I have not been testing but I do track my cycles and symptoms. It can be anywhere between 29 and 31 days. Today is CD29.

Symptoms:

*1st could be symptom- I fainted. Like blacked out, thought I was dreaming... fainted. I was sitting on a stool in my kitchen. Took a sip of wine, felt really hot and a little nauseous...asked for a glass of water and the next thing I know I woke up on the floor with my friend calling my name. I went to the ER. The ran blood tests (didn't check for pg hormone), ekg, lungs scans, &  did do a urine pg test which of course came back negative due to it being so early (CD18). All test came back fine.

*I almost immediately noticed an increase appetite after fainting. I actually got up from the floor and said I wanted pizza(?) After that night I was sooooo hungry until maybe yesterday (CD28)

*I've been super tired. I NEED a nap most days just to function. This also started to get a little better recently.

*THE BLOATING. Omg so I know that if I am pg It is really early..and feeling pg could be completely crazy, but my tummy seems to have grown a tremendous amount in no time. It feels heavy and sorta full, a little crampy, I have short and achy pains on my right side and  I feel horrible in all of my clothes.My fiance knows better than to say yes to the question "Am I looking fat?" But I know.

*Headache-every now and then I have these sharp headaches.

*I've had only slight nausea. i'm usually able to breathe through it or find something to munch on to get myself back right.

*Mood swings and crazy irritability but this could also be PMS.


Now, the thing that makes symptom spotters such as myself absolutely crazy (other than the 2ww) is the fact that EVERYTHING seems to be a symptom while there's a possibility that's it's simply a sign of AF. I usually get headaches, I cramp up to a week prior to my period & I'm usually pretty irritable when AF visits so nothing new there. What's a newbie for me is the fainting. Never have I ever. When I told my mom she said the only time she fainted was when she was pg. The bloating also seems really extreme and my fiance even commented on how tired I've been lately .  

I don't have long before I a) See good ol' AF or b) know that I am due to missing her and testing...but in the meantime I'm wondering if any mommies out there had any non refutable symptoms early on? Has anyone fainted? Felt really bloated?

Thank you so much for your time...I know it took a sec to read all of that.

Update: BFN

The spotting lasted for about 4 days and ended in a brown and pink spot show. Definitely different from any AF I've ever had. It never got heavy although it was sometimes red with small clots, and I never had to take medication for the cramps.

I finally broke down and got a test this morning. Took it after I woke up from my nap, (it wasn't the 1st of the morning) and got at bfn immediately. :0( It's CD36 for me. At this point...I'm not sure what to think. My AF or Implantation bleeding is over and I still feel really weird in the tummy area. Feeling full and bloated, pains in my side, fluttering in my tummy.  I've never been pregnant so I have nothing to compare it to but that adds to my confusion because the feelings compares to no illness or virus I've ever had.

I will continue to test. I'll probably work up the courage again Friday CD40

I am right there with you on timing and confusion! I am on CD 31 today, when I am usually a 28-30 day person. I have been lightly cramping for the last few days, mostly to the left side. I rarely cramp with AF and never before the actual period starts, so this is very peculiar. I plan on taking a hpt in the morning if there is no spotting. My CM is crystal clear  today. If I am pregnant, this is completely different than last time, haha. If I am not, this will be a highly unusual cycle for me. So I feel your agony of the waiting game, haha!

I had that faint feeling, but itnwasn't until much further along in my pregnancy. I felt a wave of heat, my face felt flush, short of breath, and I had to immediately go and cool off - I walked over and sat down with a vold compress on my neck. It prevented me from fainting (thank goodness because I was in a grocery store). It only happened once.

The odd symptom for me when I conceived was I was at work and suddenly felt like I was starving, but I wasn't hungry. It was the weirdest feeling, haha. A bunch of people commented I was pregnant. Sure enough, when it was confirmed via ultrasound, the date went right to that day I felt like that. My breasts were tender which was odd for me, because I usually don't have a lot if period symptoms.

I don't know if fainting would be a sign so early, but I guess it could be if it were caused by a strong progesterone boost? Good luck and baby dust! We are just starting to try for #2. Please follow up when you take a hpt. =)

Thanks so much for responding (and reading). I'm not on any fertility medications but that was exactly the feeling I got before I fainted. I tried to drink some water but once I got up I joked that maybe I should've poured the water over my head instead of drinking it lol.

Update: More confusion. CD30 I began to spot. Because my cycles can be anywhere from 29 to 31 days It's really confusing as to whether this is an "on time AF" or early implantation bleeding. CD30 the blood was pinkish and a little creamy. (I've had periods start like that).

My cycles are usually HEAVY. And I mean Super+  Heavy with cramping to match. Even when I get my period if the flow hasn't come full force yet the cramps let me know it's on it's way. My cramps usually have the power to stop my day if I don't medicate.

CD30 the cramps were similar to the end of my cycle. Today my flow is just as light and scanty as my 1st day was. But ti's red and with small clots.I can wipe and there be nothing there which is something that is not normal for my cycle on day 2. I'm also a little nauseous today.

I guess....I'll just have to wait this part out and see what happens. THE AGONY lol.
