AF a week away!

Hey ya'll, it's been a little while since I've posted. LMP was Jan 10th, a perfect 28 day cycle, and now I'm on CD 22. Usually the first thing that makes me wonder is sore breasts, but my breasts don't hurt at all. My boyfriend said last night they look bigger, but it's not noticeable to me. What I did notice a couple days ago is fatty nipples!! Haha, has anyone ever heard of that? I know the nipples are supposed to be sore and big, but there isn't really a big change in the size around my nipples, they just look kind of like I've had a fat injection right into my nipples! But they're not sore, if anything they might be a little extra sensitive to touch, but not painful at all.

Also, for a couple days I was getting very mild AF-like cramps, but usually my cramps will start the day AF starts. They were the kind that made you wonder if it was your uterus or if you had to go number 2!!! It was around CD 18-21. At work I was constantly going to the bathroom because I thought I had to have a bm (tmi sorry!) but never did. Then I didn't know if I was just sore from straining...I mean, I wasn't straining hard enough to be sore, but I felt a weird soreness inside my lower abdomen. And today I don't feel it like I was, but when I press down on my uterus it feels different...usually if pressure is applied down there I don't notice any sensation, but now it feels slightly sore.

And also I've heard that sinus problems can be a sign of pregnancy, and I have plenty of that!!!! But so is everybody in this area! hehehehe.

Anyway, those are the little things I've been noticing lately...and of course it could all be in my head because I'm hoping this could finally be it. I just have to wait six LONG days now!!!

I'd appreciate any input...has anyone else felt what I've explained? Best of luck to everybody and I hope ya'll have a good day!

Hi Jen...welcome back :) Those sound pretty promising to me, although a little early to be experiencing them. Maybe wait another couple of days and try taking one of the early tests. Aactually the $ store tests are SUPER sensitive, and I was able geto my first BFP about 5-6 days before AF was due to arrive. The line was really faint, but it got darker each day. Good luck!! I hope this is your month...keep us posted on how you're doing! ;)

It's CD 23, AF is due 2/7 and starting last night I got severely nauseated and it lasted through the night and into the morning. I threw up a few times, but in the morning I thought I'd be okay to go to work. Well I showed up to work today at 6 in the morning and immediately felt nauseated again, and my charge nurse sent me home because she had heard me throwing up in the bathroom. I would be excited and think it's morning sickness but along with the vomiting I'm having liquid bm (tmi!) so I think it may be a stomach bug, because aren't you supposed to be constipated?? The nausea has been less intense for the past hour, thank god.

Also I'm having lower back pain that radiates around my hips and down to my upper thighs, and back pain is definitely NOT a pms symptom of mine. Has anyone had back pain like that when pg? I just feel like my entire hip area is stiff and hurting.

My breasts are still not sore, but I did start noticing the size is increasing. Every once in a while I'll feel little "zapping" pains, but they are not tender.

I know it's still five days away from AF, but is it possible to have such severe symptoms so early?
