TMI WARNING!!!

I have been having A LOT of Gas the past 3 or 4 days. I have also been really bloated. I can hardly eat anything without feeling really bloated. The gas has been really really more than any other time.

So I was just wondering if any of you have had this happen and you found out you were pregnant?

I know I know I should just take a test and that you guys cant tell me for sure if Im pregnant. I am away on business with some co-workers and I am not going to ask them to drive me to the drug store so I can buy a test. Ya know? So I have to wait till I come home to go get a test. I am 10dpo and supposed to start af on Saturday. fyi

I always have gas right before af makes an appearance. But having said that I have also had before I found out that I was pregnant too. So that's a tricky one Wink

Many women on the other forum that I am on have said that they have had that and went on to get their BFP. So this could be it for you!!!!

I am so going to keep my fingers crossed for you Smile

Make sure to let us know either way.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I would chalk it up to af coming, but I never really get that before she comes.

You should pm me the other forums that you go on...I am always curious as to where other people chat. I am only on this one. I go on tww, but I never post anything

Tww is the one that I am on. The girls there are really nice and helpful. But I keep coming back here because I find that there are less people here so it is more personal.

I just find on tww there seems to be more ladies going through what you are. You should join. My name "Shanyan" is the same there.

Hi Heather
Just wanted to say that I had abnormally more gas the days before I got my bfp. Lots! I also had a lot of water cm and weird period cramps that got pretty bad but af never showed.
I have a good feeling about this!!! Baby dust to you!!

I was actually just reading today that excess gas and/or bloating can be a telltale sign of early pregnancy. Wink

Good luck & LOTS of baby dust!!!

Well thanks girls, but I dont think this is it.

My temp droped down to 98.0 this morning. It had dipped down on Sunday morning to this temp but went back up the next morning. Also, I went to the bathroom this afternoon and there was some really light spotting. I think AF is on her way in for a visit. The spotting has gone away now, but I am still having some cramps and gas and bloating.

The sucky part is, that I am only 10dpo and that is way to early and short of a luteal phase. I am not even supposed to be starting until at least saturday. I usually have a 12 day luteal phase.

I will let you know the bad news for sure in the morning...
