Hi there, I just wonder if I can get some other ladies views/experiences on my topic at the moment 😕

So I’ve been experiencing what I believe to be early pregnancy symptoms or it may be my brain tricking me, I have read it can do that, but I just feel different in my self….
It is quite a long read but would love to know opinions, thanks! 💙

Symptoms I’m experiencing and/or my brain is tricking me in to thinking I’m pregnant 🧠/🤰🏻

At this point i hasn’t missed period yet, due on the 3rd June, was experiencing a few things before I even thought I could be…

  • Wee smelt strong!!! (You know like when you do the first wee in the morning and it smells a bit strong, it was like that but no matter when i wee’d in the day)
- Tired!!! (Felt like I could of slept for days, felt so so tired/exhausted) - Hungry!!! (I’d eat but like 10 mins later feel hungry again? Found I was/am eating more often throughout the day, but as I was eating feel like I didn’t really want it) - Doing more farts & they absolutely stink!!! 🙈😂 (Felt/feel like a I need to fart all the time, it may be a tiny one or a massive one but it’s coming out and it stinks)

I’d say from about 21.5.22 - 28.5.22 experiencing…
The same as above, plus…
- Bloating!!! (I normally bloat a bit anyway when I’m due on, but this feels different, feels like I’m being stretched, feels heavy/full and just looks weird, doesn’t feel like my belly?)
- Always thirsty!!! (When I went out with my sister 23.5.22, I had to take a big bottle of squash with me, just so I knew I always had a drink in case. I never normally take a drink out with me, well only when I’m at work)
- Cramps!!! (I normally get a touch of cramping a few days before my period but I never really get bad with period pain/cramps like of what I’ve been having, including my abdominal area, feels like I’ve done loads of sit-ups, but I haven’t?)
- Odd twinges in my belly!!! (one time it felt like my phone was vibrating on my belly)
- Really achey hips & generally more achey all over!!! (Never had achey hips before? And goes all the way round to my back, like a rubber ring of soreness/achey)
- Sore & Achey boobies!!! (My boobs normally ache when I’m due on any way, but what I’m having is acheiness with burning/sharp pain in the nipples with soreness on the side boob)
- Heightened intrusive thoughts (I suffer with these anyway, but I feel they are there more the past few days, not as much now & I am in control of it at the moment, but I know if they become worse I can talk to people/get help, it’s just a certain one that is lingering, that I don’t want to say 💭🧠👋🏻)
- Mouth feels slightly more watery (feel like I’m swallowing my spit more and it builds up more quickly & often)
- Having scary dreams (I haven’t had a scary dreams for aaaaaages!, had a horrible, horrible one last night 😭don’t even want to say, was horrid 28.5.22)

  • Wee smelling strong (it seems to of died down now, doesn’t happen on every wee)

Done a test (clear blue ultra early, 27.5.22) It was negative.
Done a test (clear blue ultra early, 29.5.22, first wee) it was negative.

30.5.21
Still most of the above, plus…
- Sharp pain on right side (off and on all day, when it does it feels like stabbing)

  • Still farting like a trooper (don’t smell as bad now though)
- My Mummy pig pyjamas are tight?! My belly is really bloated now 😳, feeling the need to release the gut more 🙈😂 - Find I’m really moody/emotional (I’m not an argumentative person but I feel to have an argument with people over nothing, then the next minute I could just burst in to tears?)

Done a test (clear blue ultra early, 3.6.22) it was negative (assuming it would show positive at this stage, right?)
**
5.6.22
Still all of the above, plus…
- Bleeding (woke up this morning, went to the wee, wiped & there was blood, was quite red to be honest & looks like a normal flow for me which is not heavy but not light just your average amount, but then I remember I read about implantation bleeding? I did have with my son, his now 4 but I can’t remember it being this red which makes me think it is just my period. I took a bath & I lost a long piece of clear, stretchy, touch of redness gunk?)
- Belly now extremely bloated/rounded (my belly just feels so strange, like i describe above, it feels tight & bigger for my usual period bloat, accompanied by abdominal pain still, like sit up muscle pain)
- Boobies swollen & shooty pain to nipples? (I normally get a touch of the achey boobs before my period but they’re still achey & feel a bit bigger, I’m not big chested anyway so I can tell, with like a shooty pain to nipples)
- Still extremely tired, keep waking up randomly in the night & go to the wee
- Hungry!!!

I’ve also attached an image of my cycle to compare with symptoms… thanks in advance and for taking time to read, hope there is some advice for me to take on board! 🙂

I wouldn't go off symptoms, they can vary so much. I would think that if you're 2 days late now, you should be getting a positive test result if you are pregnant.

👌🏼

So sounds like your period was due on 3rd June but instead it came on the 5th June? Have I understood correctly? I wouldn't read too much into the symptoms.

HollyL18 · 05/06/2022 21:21

Okay, yeah I’m just normally like clockwork, and getting all these things like when I was pregnant with my son, so I was like 😳🙈
My belly is just feeling really strange and bloated, as in massive and popped which is so unusual for me and so achey, maybe just having a bad one 🥺
I haven’t worn a pad all day, getting blood only when I wipe, strange.
Im just an over thinker tbh 😂 clearly

thanks ladies

Looking at your dates, I think it's possible that you're not pregnant, I'm sorry. It looks like you had sex 4 days before ovulation, and whilst it is possible for sperm to survive that long, there isn't a high likelihood. That, teamed with bleeding, possibly suggests that you're not ❤️
