Pregnancy Symptoms out the ying yang!

[LittleMommyWannaBe]

Okay ladies I've searched for a supportive and attentive forum group all this week so I'm hoping you guys don't let me down. My story is slightly long winded so I'll try to sum it up as quickly as possible, but bear with me, I'm very excited.

I had AF until the 20th of January. I did the deed on the 21/22/24/25. Essentially I should have ovulated around the 31, but I KNOW that not everyone does, and i honestly think I ovulated much earlier. Around the 24/25 I just started feeling strange, no further explination. From that day forth it was like the symptoms were rolled out on a red carpet. First I had frequent urination, and that was before I even knew that could possibly be an early symptom, so it was NOT in my head! Then I started being nauseous all day with back pain, neither of these ever happen to me. A few days ago I noticed, or hallucinated, that my breasts had gotten fuller or larger or something. They were very very HOT (temp wise) and my nipples looked like they were growing on a whole different person... idk how to explain it but they look huge! They were sore, but not TENDER like everyone else says, but my breasts are NEVER sore, achy, tender, or anything to that efect before af or ever for that matter. Next the emotions came in full stream. I cried when my puppy ate a little piece of chocolate for about 30 minutes... (sooo ashamed of that moment) lol. I cried after some random comercial. I cried in the middle of a conversation with my best friend... just water works... it was embarassing. I've been constipated for a week, and NOW I'm having very slight low dull cramps that are on and off when I'm resting for hours on end. Oh and then I randomly (THIS IS WTMI SO I'M SORRY) got my first and only yeast infection... yuck and ouch!

All of these things happened SO early! This is the only forum where women agree that 1. You can have very early symptoms, and 2. You can ovulate right after your period... so does anyone have any advice... Could I be pregnant? Has anything similar happened to anyone else?! I'm feeling very alone. I'm 7 days away from my possible period, so are these symptoms too early? Can I at least try one of my tests yet... i seriously am panicing at this point!

I completely agree with Clysta. I honestly think youre getting symptoms too early. A lot the symptoms you described "frequent urination, nausea, back pain and cramps" are symptoms of a yeast infection, which you have. Also, ovulation in a normal 28 day cycles is usually between days 12-16 and then you get your next period roughly 2 weeks later. Only hing to do is wait and test when your period is due.

Well generally speaking symptoms will occur at soonest a week after ovulation. This is around the earliest a fertilized egg will implant and give off the hormone. Before this nothing felt is related to pregnancy because there's nothing there to cause anything. Sometimes when you really want or are scared of something, we tend to over-analyze day to day things and become slightly more "in tune" with our bodies and attribute much to pregnancy. I'm not saying you're crazy or anything though. What you felt might very well be pregnancy. It's just extremely soon to feel anything. Most symptoms in pregnancy aren't felt until 4 weeks and even more frequently from 6-8. I would suggest waiting to see how your next period comes and then testing with first morning urine.

I can't vote from my phone but I don't think you are crazy not everyone ovulates at the same time in their cycle. You should take a pregnancy test if you don't get your period. If you are really anxious and dont want to wait you can try using a first response early detection digital pregnancy test 5 days before your missed period just keep in mind that it is not very accurate until your missed period so you may get a false negative and have to test again  your pregnancy hormone will double every 48 hours so every other day is a good time to retest. Good luck!
