Heartburn & acid reflux- before missed period

12 replies

TTCadviceplease · 07/10/2020 20:58

Hi! Would love some help!

My period isn’t due until 17th October but I have been TTC.

Since the 18th September I have had terrible heart burn—- with added acid reflux which started yesterday.

Could this be a sign of pregnancy? Or completed unrelated.

I can’t test yet but would love to know if this is a common sign or if I’m over thinking it!!!

Thanks!

As most heart burn doesn't start until quite late into pregnancy, the second or third trimester I'd be inclined to say no it's not an early symptom of pregnancy sorry xx

I had terrible heartburn (which I never usually get) for around a week before I got my BFP, so for me that was definitely a sign. I’ve also had it on and off since, so definitely not just something in late pregnancy

No it is good to know thank you for your honesty! I have read lots of mixed posts about the timing of it so wasnt sure xxx

Heartburn was the first sign I had I was pregnant in several of my pregnancies (I'm pregnant with my 9th dc).

Yeah I never usually get Heartburn at all! Especially not like this and it hasn’t gone away since 18th September.
My last period ended on 22nd September and my next is due 17th October So I guess il just have to wait and see 🤷🏼‍♀️

I never get heartburn and I rarely burp... Except from about a week after conception until the day I gave birth!!

O no way! So even before your first missed period? Surprised so many are saying this

I had acid reflux in 1st trimester quite early but not as early as before missed period however everyone is different! Fingers crossed for you OP Smile

Thanks! Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 if not hope this heartburn passes soon

So my period did arrive on 17th October and lasted two days, took 2 tests after this but both negative.
Acid reflux hadn’t improved so Dr prescribed me PI tablets. Acid reflux has calmed down now.
last week had build up of white stuff in mouth every morning plus dry mouth and was told by my Dr it could be oral thrush 🙈

Next period is due this Sunday, is oral thrush a pregnancy sign?

If I get my period on Sunday I will just resign to the fact that these symptoms may be related to something else now 🤷🏼‍♀️ If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated!

Hi, I was wondering whether the oral thrush ended up being an early sign of pregnancy as I am trying to conceive and have oral thrush. Hoping it is connected with pregnancy but too early to do a test yet.
