Does your uterus 'feel different' during early pregnancy?

I ask this question because I "feel" like I am pregnant.  My husband and I are TTC and I have some symptoms of pregnancy such as sore breasts, feeling really tired, a little nausea, etc.  I know these symptoms are also similar to an impending period.  It is too early for me to take a HPT, my period is not due until Oct. 4th or so.  I also have a habit of "tricking" myself into believing I am pregnant based on symptoms, only to be slightly disappointed when I get my period.  However one symptom is different from what I usually have before a period.  I have slight cramping, which is normal for me before a period, but my uterus also feels like "there's something in there."  I can't really describe the feeling, other than it feels "full" I guess.  Sorry for the lack of description.  Anyway, did anyone "feel anything" in the pelvic area when they were in early pregnancy?  Any info would be helpful.  Thanks!

this makes me feel so much better because i thought i was the only one with this problem. ive been trying to get prego for about a 1 1/2 to 2 years now. i was on the depo shot 1 year before i started trying, and i heard that it takes the same amount of time you were on it, to regulate your cycle. so im kindof worried..i had my period 2 weeks ago and i feel heavy down there and im constipated..sometimes i feel sick to my stomach and i just want to be pregnant.

Wow Cookie,
   Sounds like you really need to see a Dr. If you are not Pregnant than you may have a health issue to worry about.
We sometimes hate to face reality but truth is honey if youare not pregnant now have faith and you will have your child eventually. But in the mean time please see a dr.
Oh and counselin can't help either. If you don't hear what you want from the dr. you may become deppressed or something. So speaking to a stanger mey feel really good.
Hope all is well. God bless and best wishes always to you and your Fiance.

Hi everyone im Bryttney and this is my first time here. Im wondering if anyone could help me out wit my problem. My fiance and I are trying to get pregnant. We've been having unprotected sex and he ALWAYS finishes in me. Ive had pregnancy symptoms such as: light cramping, dehydrated, frequent headaches, feeling tired and sick, moody, tender breast and sore nipples, and I missed a period last month in june but it showed up about 4 days early in this month of july but it wasn't a normal period. It was light bleeding, very little to no cramping, it lasted for 2 days and the color went from dark red to brown. Ive been feeling small and mild movements in my lower stomach and its swollen as if im bloated and my uterus is swollen, noticeably. Ive also been sleeping more than I ever have! My fiance thinks im pregnant and I wanna think that too but ive had 2 negative pregnancy tests. I really wanna be pregnant and I just wanna feel a lil more comfortable before a go to a doctor and receive BAD news. HELP ME!

My period is about 3 weeks late and I've taken 5 pregnancy tests and they all came up negative.  I'm having all the symptons but yet the tests just put me down.  I think that, if I am, that I'm 2 months along and my lower abdomin is slightly bigger right around where my uterus is suppose to be.  I've never been pregnant before and I'm 18.  My fiance left a month ago for basic training for the Army.I'm not really under stress just excited for graduation.  Can any body please, please, PLEASE!!! help me....
