Yesterday when I woke up it felt like I did a hundred situps...Witch I didnt do anything that day besides watch almost a whole season of 24 and played wow! I did some reseach and there were other women saying this how it feels when your stomach is streching for baby...Most were around 8 weeks! I took a test and it was negitive but i'm stilll septacle because I did nothing to have my stomach feel that way...I was hope some of you have had this going on and not even notice that it might be because your pregnant?! Please and all stories would be helpful! ~thank you~

When is your period due?

Your uterus doesn't stretch until a few weeks into your pregnancy. If you aren't far enough along to test positive, your uterus wouldn't be stretching.

The stretching feels like cramps. Like your period is coming.

My period isnt due til next month on 11! I dont think I would test postive even if I were pregnant...My friend also had this problem she has what seems to be a normal period and didnt test positive until she was a little over two months along so...I'm not sure but i've got reason to believe that I am...Just not sure and need to hear form others...Thanks

You haven't even ovulated yet (based on an average cycle), your period is more than 3 weeks away.

After conception, it takes 4-6 days for an egg to implant on the wall of the uterus. Pregnancy tests will not show positive prior to that because until the embryo implants your body doesn't know you are pregnant.

I notice you've been posting about ttc for almost a year now. You might want to try getting a book about basal body temping and ovulation charting.

Good luck!

I'm still not sure if I am but I just dont want to give up I know the times I ovualte and I have ovualtion test that I use on the day that I should be most fertile. I'm just hoping that someone has had this too...
