Pulsating Stomach - early sign?

[ps2304]

I am on CD17 of first month ttc. It was half an accident as we were planning on waiting till June/July to try but ended up dtd on ovulation day and the day after and husband who normally withdraws didn't both times! I am now excitedly thinking I might be pregnant!

When I lay on my back in bed I can see and feel a very strong pulse, the same pace as my heart to the left of my belly button. I have never noticed it as strong as this before, it's very visable! Would that be some sort of increased blood flow? I am only on CD17.
I'm going to drive myself mad for the next two weeks 😂
AF due on the 11th...

Sounds like your abdominal aorta - a huge blood vessel that supplies the contents of your abdomen and pelvis and then splits into two around the level of your belly button - are you quite slim? It's more visible/easy to seed if you're slim.

Wait until your period is due and then do a test, good luck!
