Pulling??

Heya girls,

I'm 7 DPO now, and having a bit of a weird day. I woke up feeling nauseous; not so much that I felt I had to throw up, but enough to make me think twice about getting up out of bed too quickly. Didn't think much of it as I try not to freak out at every possible pregnancy sign :) Then came the slightly sore boobs; that's been coming and going over the past few days. They don't hurt very badly, it just feels like I've done push-ups and stretched my muscles (I told DB that they felt "heavy". He couldn't stop laughing; since I have quite the rack going on, he always thought it must weigh a lot). Another thing is the fact that I am not having a dry spell at all after O, but creamy white mucus :/ And then later on today the weirdest one of all: I felt like there was something 'pulling' from inside, in my lower abdomen. As if someone was tugging on strings on the inside of my tummy, very funny. Never had that before... What do you girls think? Could those be preggo symptoms or am I getting myself worked up again?

Did a test a few days later and got a BFP! So yeah those were probably pregnancy signs for me, funny how confusing they can be :)

I've tested the day before yesterday and it was a BFN, but my AF was supposed to come on today and it hasn't. Still feel like it could be possible, but I will have to wait.

I do remember before my BFP that when I would stretch my arms up towards the sky I felt this pulling. I think I know the sensation you are talking about. Almost like a tight muscle. I was also pretty much laid up on the couch for a couple of days tired. I didn't really put it together till after I got the positive.

Hmm it doesnt feel like 'snapping', more like someone is trying to pull my belly inwards very gently :) Don't know how to explain it better than that! I had a good night's rest and woke up nauseous and with this 'pulling' sensation again, so I really don't know... Been weepy all day yesterday and feel like I'm having a bad case of PMS. Usually that doesn't start until 3 days before AF. BBT has not really spiked though, so I have no clue. GAH I'm so ready for a BFP!

The very first sign I had when I got pregnant BOTH times was a "snapping" sensation in my lower abdomen - - - like someone had snapped a rubber band.  I didn't notice it as much with my first, but when I got pregnant with my second, and I went to get out of bed and had that sensation and I KNEW I was pregnant.  Took a test a few minutes later and got that BFP.  Hopefully, you will get good results when you test.
