Cramping, Pulling, Tugging Sensations?

Tue, 10-28-2003 - 12:53pm
Just wondering if anyone else noticed any odd cramping (sort of like AF on the way), pulling or tugging sensations in early pregnancy? I haven't even tested yet, but this has been going on with me for almost two weeks. Most of my sensations seem to be located at the very top or the very bottom and occasionally across the front. Sometimes it's more like cramps, and other times it's more like butterflies. I'm hoping this is a good sign!

Sweetie,

I been having the same symptoms since last week and I though it was my period.

My period was due on the 28, this morning I decided to test (with clearblue digital)

and I was so happy it showed a clear "pregnat".

I would sugest that you test yourself, be positive have faith in God and your test will be as you hoped for.

I wish you all the luck!

NO, I haven't had the nerve to test yet...scared of dissappointment. The only symptom I have is the pulling tugging butterfly feeling which is really weird to me. The more I talk about it, the stronger they feel. I think it is all in my head...will let you know soon though.

Is this the only symptom you had besides your missed AF? I have this too but nothing else...haven't tested yet, AF 6 days late.

HI Suzw34,

The butterfly thing is really weird to me too. It comes and goes in waves. Like i said before that i am due in 4 days and i was thinking about calling the doc about a blood test. Do you think that if i had one in the next day or so it would show? I am afraid of dissapointment also. I dont have the pulling but i do have the sore breasts and the cramps and i feel like i am peeing alot. Its probably in my head. So do you know how soon someone can test for a blood test. Please keep me posted!!!! Good luck sweetie!

I don't know how soon you can take the blood test. I have always heard that a blood test can show before the HPT. Although that is just hear say. I do think the blood test would show now if you are only 4 days away. I don't really have any other symptoms...besides the feeling like I pee alot. I have to go during the night which is odd for me. My sister is on my case about taking the test. I don't know why I don't have the courage to do it, it's not like I don't want to be pregnant..i really feel it is the whole dissappointing thing. I say you take the test if you are that anxious to know...best of luck to you!!! Let me know what you find out...I keep hopeing I will get courage thru all of you with the same symptom...

Suzanne,

Thanks for responding. I called the doc and they said that I should wait til

I miss a period to test. So i am gonna do that. I will be busy for the next

few days so that will keep my mind off it til then. If you are late and you usually

arent then you should test. Go for it. YOu are right, its not like you dont want to

be pregnant. I do know the dissappointment though. I hope things work out for you.

Keep me posted please.

Hi!!

Thanks so much for posting your questions!! I read all the replies so I know you are now pregnant. Congratulations!! I have been feeling the exact same way as you had been. I was wondering if it was just me. I have the same cramping at different times for the past 2 weeks. I am due for my period next Wednesday (Nov 5th) Do you think it's a strong possibility that I could be pregnant too? I've also been having headaches daily, and my breasts feel different - bloated like. I hope I am pregnant!

Please reply if you can.

I have been having the same sensations in addition to the sore bbs and bloating. I am hopeful!! My situation is slightly weird. I am one year off Depo Provera and my cycle is 35-39 days. I am not due for AF until Nov 4 or so, but according to my CM I O'd on Oct 15 which makes me 15 dpo. I took a HPT first thing this morning and it was a BFN. I am hoping that my body is just slow on the HCG production. Because my AF isn't due till next week, I am trying not to get discouraged. All of the signs point to a baby . It is definitely an emotional roller coaster at times, though.

Congrats to all that have found out that they are pregnant and here's hoping for the rest of us!!
