Hi All,

I'm hoping you can help me. I'm wondering if I could be pregnant. I tried the OV/PG calendar/predicter and has my EDD as 4/25 according to my LMP. My breasts were sore. But that faded and now I feel like someone is pulling at my lower abdomen. This would be my second child. With my first, I just remember the sore breasts and I stayed "chained to the porcelain pony" (toilet) with morning, afternoon, and evening sickness. That overshadowed any other symptoms, I had. Yesterday, I thought I might be catching a cold because as hot as it was I sitting outside with a coat on. But I didn't have a fever. I have also had diarreah for the last couple of days. Now it just feels like I am having light cramps and I shouldn't start my period until around the 17th of Aug. Normally if I have cramps, it's not till after I start my Period. I know it's too early to take a HPT. But I was hoping someone could help me. We weren't trying at first, and then I thought I was preggo, but somehow wound up with a chemical imbalance. DH was disappointed that we weren't preg. And so now we have been trying. I figure either we have conceived now or drowned the egg trying...LOL!

If anyone has any insight, please, PLEASE help.

Thanks,

Once O occurs, it takes 7-10 days for the egg to implant into the uterus. Depending on when you O'd, you would probably just now be implanting. All the symptoms you have are pg symptoms, but it is too early to tell. I don't think you would have too many symptoms just yet.

You never know though. Some women say that they know as soon as they get pg. And have symptoms to go along with it. Wait until about the 15th and take a FRE.

Let us know how things turn out. Good luck,

Erika
