Q: Pulling in stomach early symptom ?
asked by: Proud Mama on January 27th, 2008

Hey ladies I was wondering if anyone could help me. My boyfriend and I are trying for our second child and our first one just turned one this last December. Well I just stopped breastfeeding just after his birthday and received my first period in almost two years on January 9 (cycle day 1) according to fertility friend, as I have been charting, I ovulated on cycle day 14 but SO and I haven't been able to baby dance, because we have both been sick, since the day before the "fertile time frame." Well this just started yesterday but now I have a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen. I remember feeling this with Damien but it wasn't till much later. Do you think that it's possible that it could be an early symptom of pregnancy? I know I'm only 5 days past ovulation but way early symptoms are normal for me. I had symptoms with Damien just days after getting pregnant. They were just being more hungry to the point I would have to eat full meals every 5 minutes, greasy hair (I know sounds weird but it started soon after getting pregnant), nausea, and feeling like I have to pee allot.

Right now I do find myself going to the bathroom more but other then that all that's really different is the pulling sensation in my stomach.

Now it has been two years since I last had a menstrual cycle and it only took me a month to get pregnant off birth control at that time so I have no idea if this is normal for periods without birth control or not. I've been on birth control since I was 16 to help with a heavy cycle.

I dont have a clue if that would be a pregnancy symptoms or not, but I sure hope it is. I have been having some weird pinching feeling for the past couple days. It feels like it is pinching or pulling almost like cramps, but Im only 8dpo and it has been hapening for 4 days.

When is af due? I Oed later than normal this month so I am not due to start until this Saturday

I am 36 weeks pregnant and I don't remember a pulling feeling in my stomach but I do remember that when I laid on my stomach it would bother me to the point where I would want to lay differently and that was in the early stage of my pregnancy like 8 weeks.

I definitely had the pulling sensation in very early pregnancy and also the sudden greasy hair and even a couple of spots! All this was before I took the test at 5 weeks. At 6 weeks I had begun feeling sick at tea, coffee, perfume,alcohol etc and by 7 weeks I started with the projectile vomiting!

I never found out what the pulling was but I knew from that alone that I was pregnant!

Oh yeah, and I got pregnant two weeks after coming off the pill, according to dates! They told me at the hospital that you can have a sort of rebound effect ie become more fertile than usual in the days immediately following the cessation of the pill.

Good luck and let us know asap!

Yeah the same happened to me with my son. within two weeks of coming of the birth control patch I was pregnant with weird symptoms that I couldn't explain and got really excited.

AF is due in about 8 days I think, just got finished breastfeeding and this is my first full cycle, but I'm known for way early symptoms. With Damien I felt symptoms within a day or two of conceiving but couldn't get a positive pregnancy test until 12 days late. Even at one week late my blood test was 11.

Seems like I remember the pulling feeling. Of course we had been trying for a while and I was looking for anything to be a symptom Smile I would say to treat it like maybe you are and try and relax and maybe this is it!!!!!!! Good luck to you. Baby Dust!!

I don't know if it is from that...I've never had a full cycle off birth control so I don't know if it's normal or early pregnancy sign
