Hi Ive just joined the site as my boyfriend (of 9 years) and I have started trying for a baby this year. But I am so confused. I was ovulating 10-12th April, my period then came on on 29th April (as predicted)but i didn`t have any PMS like usual and it was quite brown in colour and had bits (of tissue?)in it. It lasted for about 5 days and stayed the same consistancy, usually I am very heavy for up to a week. I did a preg test couple days after this - neg! At the same time as this was going on i was told by my DR i had gastroenteritous after i went about terrible stomach pains under my left rib, cramps and needing to rush to the loo. I felt like i was ovulating again on 10th May. In the past week I have had just awful lower backache (only hot water bottle seems to help), shooting pain around the top of my hips and top of legs (not anything like PMS) for the past 6 years i have suffered with a prolapsed disk but it also feels nothing like that pain (or sciatia) and it keeps moving from my right to left side, without the feeling of needing to click my back. My boobs are so sore and are defiantly swallon (worse in evening/night) and my nipples do appear a little darker. But im a 32FF anyway, so they are pretty sore. I did another preg test and neg again. Im kind of getting a mild fluttering pain in my lower abdomen and I have put on weight around my stomach and hips (i know from my clothes, not from weighing myself). Im not tired, have had no sickness but i am eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert, snacks and anything else i can get my hands on, which is very unusual for me, i don`t often feel hungry. Not due on again for another 5/6 days. but its making me anxious to think i maybe preg but i also think im maybe a bit early to be getting symptoms? Can anyone help? I know im going to be so disappointed if i do come on next week.

FrankeM - 1000 days ago UPDATE - felt a bit queasy last night. Woke up early this morn with awful backache and just couldnt get comfortable again. Felt a nauseous late this morning, the only way i can describe it is i feel a bit nervous and my tums a bit bubbly. My mouths certainly not watering and im not needing to run to the loo. I just have an awful feeling im imgaining these symptoms now, espcially as we've not tried for a baby for long, and really didnt think anything would happen so quickly! Due on Monday/Tuesday so im going to try and relax and not go mad buying any more tests until i have a no show from ms flo. Thank you everyone for your messages and its really nice to know im not the only one who experiences these things are are unsure!

Debra - 1001 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) tests aren't always a accurate- especially early on. You should try testing again after your next period is due. In the meantime, I hope you are taking a prenatal. I was really hungry for the first few weeks of my pregnancy and a few days after conception with my son, i got terribly constipated. I tested after my period was due and got a very clear line to indicate pregnancy. This february, i was constipated again and thought maybe I was pregnant. My periods are still out of whack and i was seemingly about 10 days post when i should have started a period. i took a home test and it came out positive, i went to the doctors the next day and tested negative for both urine and blood. A day later, my period started and I believe I had a miscarriage as I passed something tiny that looked like tissue. I have no idea. Pregnancy signs are different for everyone, and are different each pregnancy too it seems. Even with my son, i had a strange, shorter period and thought I was pregnant already in feb 2007, but then had another really short period at the beginning of march which I thought maybe was an implantation bleed. It was my period it turns out as when i tested at the end of march and had an ultrasound the first week of april 07- it should I was 5 weeks which gave me an accurate due date for November 13- and then I was 6 days late to give birth.

Angel21 - 1001 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) when i first thought i was, my nipples were only sore, and my boobs did ache, and so did my lower back.. I took 3 Home pregnancy tests and Showed me negative results.. i waited another week and I still felt like i was pregnant, so i took another test and showed my postive, maybe its too early for you yet.... but u should try another test again soon, .... good luck,,

FrankeM - 1001 days ago I bought the tests from Boots, was pretty skint at the time so didn't go in for all the first response ones, it was their own brand and i paid i think £6.99 for 2. I have to be honest, i didnt do the test first thing in the morning, it said on the packet i didn't need to (plus i really couldnt wait, terrible excuse i know!). if i am preg do you think it would be from April or May?

wisfarmgirl - 1001 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Could you have purchased some home pregnancy tests that are no good or expired? Sure sounds like you have alot of pregnancy symptoms. Also make sure you're using your first morning urine when you test. Good luck!

oxoalicia143oxo - 1001 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I started getting symptoms a week before I got a positive test result. I was eating everything in sight. I would give it another few days and retest. Good luck!
