Good morning, everyone.
So, my husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 10 months now.
My last period started on July 26th, 2010.
This past Friday, I woke up to blood. I didn't have my normal PMS (Cramps, bloating, tender breasts, breaking out, moodiness), so it was extremely unexpected, seeing as it was about a week early.
I bled all day Friday and spotted on Saturday. That's it.
I also have had bad gas (TMI, I know.) for about a week now. Another TMI, I normally have a bowel movement at least once a day and I've only had one SMALL one in the last three days.
I got a minor headache last night and a migraine the night before.
Normally, when I sleep, I HAVE to have covers on. I can't sleep without them. Since Wed. or Thurs. night, I can't sleep with covers. At all. Not for a nap, not anything.
I also have terrible insomnia. Thurs. night, I didn't sleep at all. I finally went to bed around 9a and woke up at 1p. Last night, I didn't fall asleep until 5a and woke up at 9a.
I've noticed little white bumps on my actual nipple (The part that gets hard.). There are just a few of them and more on my left side than my right side.
I always feel full and I'm not eating as much. It's almost as if I'm bloated (Bloating kills my appetite, because I don't feel like I have any room for food in there.). It's not exactly the same as being bloated though. It's not as extreme.
And my legs hurt. When I wake up, I feel like I'm having growing pains.
And when I smoke, be it my first or last cigarette of the day, I gag with almost every hit I take of it.
Also when I brush my teeth, I gag. Both of those things don't normally happen.
My period is expected to start around the 26th, so I don't know if it's too soon to test or not. I don't know if I'm being paranoid or if these are actual symptoms other people have had as well?
Thanks!
Suggestion:
Some of these are definitely pregnancy symptoms and signs that I have seen women have.
It could also very well be paranoia and high hopes. You both have been trying for awhile and I wanted to say that I hope you get your little angel very very soon!
What I would do is since this "period" was early and barely anything, I would wait until the day you were supposed to start. If nothing comes, then I would take a pregnancy test a couple days after you were supposed to start. If you are pregnant then your body will have some time to get that hormone level up a little bit.
I know this is much easier said than done, TRUST ME I KNOW, but try your hardest to put your mind on something else than getting pregnant. The stress of trying and trying could really have an effect on your body and mind. Try to relax and let it all flow!
Also if I was you, after a couple more months of trying I would maybe head to the doctor with your husband just to be sure everything is ok. Don't let that worry you either! Some women just need the doctor to coax their body a tiny bit to conceive. My aunt for example didn't have a thick uterine lining so the fertilized eggs were having a hard time implanting. They went to the doctor, she took some fertility pills, and poof my cousin was conceived.
So hang in there! I would suggest if you both can afford it take a nice little weekend getaway and have some romance with no talk of trying to get pregnant. Think of it as a little break from trying. Even though you both will probably still have some fun, it will be more of intimacy and romance, than "trying". I think anyone who has been in this situation knows it can become somewhat of a chore. So go have some fun!!!
