could i be pregnant or going mad!

[sharee191]

Hi everyone,
Here goes - I had iui for the third time. The 1st failed the second was positive but lost at 7 weeks and the whole time did not feel right.. So i don't realy know what to expect.
I have had stomach pain + very bad smelly gas and a swollen stomach that looked like i was 5 months already + 4am trips to the bathroom, pain-full nipples and mood swings so my partner likes to inform me HA!.
Anyway i did a home test 10 days after my insemination and it came back a very bright one strip negative and today my symptoms have gone apart from slight lower back pain and an empty pressure feeling in middle stomach..So was i having phantom signs because i wanted to believe or do they come and go and YES i know I'm an idiot and should have waited 1 more week before doing the test??
Please put me out of my misery

I looked for signs every month when looking to see if I was pregnant. Its kind of funny looking back but there were none that were really different than any other signs I had had before AF came. I magnified everything in my mind because I wanted it so badly. The best sign I had was being late (only ever late if pregnant) and a positive pregnancy test.
So, know your cycles and test the day after you period is due unless you want to spend money month after month on pregnancy tests.
Forget the signs as they are probably just being more attention paid to them becuase you want it so badly. I've been there.

Good Luck and heres some baby dust for you *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^^*^*^

I have to agree with these ladies,

Play no attention to signs,

I am only 5dpo, this month

But last months i had so many thing different i had my self pregnant

I had leg cramps,

really sore bb

nausea even vomiting

peeing like a tap.

Headaches,

bloating bad,

hepes and hepes on cm,

these signs were not uaual for me so i tested 10dpo NEGITIVE

12DPO NEGITIVE

13 YOU GUESSED IT NEGITIVE

THEN AF CAME.

So sign are not good way, always

Pregesterone gives same signs.

10 days can indeed be way too early. Happened to me. 13 days gave me the answer I was looking for. :) Good luck. Don't pay attention to signs. I sure enough had "zero" signs minus the worse backache ever and in hinsight noticed that my yard REALLY needed a good doggie poop scoop (although my husband said he noticed nothing). But as for typical preggo signs, I had none. I say never pay attention to signs. Just test appropriately.

Were you on any meds before the IUI?  IF so, the symptoms could have been from the meds, and now that they've worn off, so have your symptoms. Doesn't mean pregnancy symptoms aren't coming, though!  It's still early. Good luck!
