Q: Too Early to Tell?

I am making myself crazy!! My husband (29) and I (23) have started "trying" for a couple of months now. I have been using the ovulation test strips, and I had an lh surge on saturday morning. Needless to say... The weekend was busy. On sunday night, my nipples started becoming very tender and the bumps slightly more pronounced. The soreness has continued now for a few days. Since sunday afternoon, I have had an unusually large amount of white oderless thick pasty discharge that appears white on underware and slightly yellow on toliet paper. I have an unusual sensation in my lower abdomen - not full blown cramps; more of an awareness of their presence. Does that make sense? I know a pregnancy test would not register if I were to be pregnant for another week and a half or so (period not due until the 14th). Could I be pregnant??

You could be preg. But I think the symptoms are just in your head. It will be about 2 wks before you will be getting any symptoms. I wish you the best of luck. (((pregnancy vibes)))

Amanda- before I found out I was pregnant my nipples were very sensitive, and constantly hard, certain shirts & bras were even irritating to wear- also I could not sstand the smell of certain things like coffee and popcorn, but never had morning sickness...I went to the dr, a week after these symptoms and was told I was pregnant- so you could be!!

Jen,

can nipple pain and excessive discharge really be in my head? The pain is intense!! I have to go to the restroom 2-3 times a day just to get rid of the discharge (sorry if that is disturbing!!) I don't know... So many women have so many different signs...

In Your Head
It very well can be in your head. It happens more often then you think, it even happened to me (eather that or I was pregnant and misscarried, because I had these simptoms, and was late, and then had a very heavy and crampy period!! But did get pregnant the very next month). Anyway, usualy what happenes is someone eather wants it so bad, or is so worried that they might be pregnant that they start searching too hard to signs, and your mind actually makes you think you are having those simptoms. Its not uncomming. Best thing to do is wait it out and take a test. But from what you said, I don't think you would feel symptoms that soon.

Lost And Confused
My boyfriend and I have never had sex, however on the third day of my period(three weeks ago) we were wrestling on the floor(yes, fully clothed) and he got erect, so he stood up, turned around and fixed it, turned back around and I grabbed his hand right away because I felt the my tampon needed changing. He had some cum on his hand. I then changed my tampon with that same hand. He thinks that I could be pregnant because of it. I dont think so, I just need second opinions though. I went for 7days that time(yes, that is normal for me) so would there be a chance for pregnancy? Or would the sperm(if there was any) on my hand that may have gotten in me diead already? He's freaked out and thinks I need second opninions and since we love each other and respect each other, hes like...I want you to but you dont have to, but I will because it'd make him happy. I just need help, please help me

I had the nipple soreness like 2 weeks before I found out, thats pretty much when I knew something was up because I had never gotten that before! You could be but it is too early to tell, let us know when u find out!!

I will most certainly let all of you know what is up as soon as I find out!! Today on the treadmill at the gym, I had to stop running because I had such weird cramps. They were also present in the shower this morning... They have been off and on. I am not supposed to get my period until the 14th or 15th, so it was awfly strange...

Re: New Info...
I think you should take a test. There are tests that you can take this early.. I did with my first child. I didn't have soreness or anything, just a weird thought in my head that I could have been preggo, and I was.

I am so.... Well, jealous, happy, sad, envious??? My sister just told me she is 3 moths. Pregnant!! It was a total accident, and so was her first!! I don't get it. There are 2 late 3rd trimester women in my office, and one who is 8 weeks.... The mother's day commercials are mocking me. Anyone else feeling blue?? I just want to be pregnant!! Sorry about the small rant...

Re
I feel the exact same way, it may be in my head but I also think im pregnant, I want to be so bad, I havent taken a test yet tho. My last period was april 1st and it is normally about 33 days apart and 7 days long, I get heart burn, and occasionally I have been feeling nausiated, I get really bad heat flashes to. I have no clue if theses are pms signs or not, I never get these signs normally, and I wonder how late my period is exactly, anybody know?

It sounds to me like the symtoms I have when I ovulate, maybe your ovulation test was a tiny bit off just by a couple of days, the symtoms you say are identicle to ovulation- just a thought.

I was thinking that those symptoms could b signs of ovulation as well and I know how u feel about wanting to be pregnant, I really wanna b pregnant as well, im really feeling down at the end of each month at not being pregnant, I really have only just begun to try (month 5) but im really discouraged my bf thinks I should just relax and try not to think about it as it will happen when its meant to b but I really wanna b pregnant.

From someone who cant wait to have a jellybean all of their own

p.S to those women who have recently discovered they are pregnant congrats and have a safe and healthy nine months

I agree it is possible that these symptoms could be in your head, but for my first two pg (3rd a m/c), I had them as early as you. Breasts enlarged immed.- more than usu. P/d size, extreme tiredness, diff. Abd. Symptoms, some dizziness/headaches, breast tenderness, slight constant nausea, etc. I wasnt ready for them, so I tried to convince myself it *was* all in my head!
Oh, and there was a "sense" of it too- tho I ignored that too!
Just never know, until you find out for sure.

Bbt has was 97.7 the day of and day after ovulation. For the last 5 days it has been hovering around 98.0 ~ 98.2....So I know I deffinitatly ovulated. I have sharp stabbing pains suddenly in my nip area and below throughout the day. For the last 3 days I have been rather constipated (i am very regular usually). I feel like I have to go, I sit down and a little comes out quickly, then no more (even though I feel like I need to) sorry about too much info!! Still have the blue veins on the boobs. I got a preg. Test yesterday and the pharmicist said I shouldn't test until 3 days before my period is due Confused That is not for another 7days!! So, realistically, I could test in 4 days...The waiting is killing me. Got a little pukey yesterday at target when I was looking @ some flip-fops.. The smell of the rubber was too overwhelming...Ugggg!!

I would just try not to think about it and then test in 4 days! Good luck! You can always just go to the doctor and get blood work done, they can tell by now if youre pregnant or not.
