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!

This was my first time TTC #1. So, I have no basis for comparison. All I know is that this cramping/tugging happened really early in my cycle, so I felt at that point something was going on. I think I started feeling it about 2-3 days after the day I think I conceived (but, conception could have been anytime within about a 5 day timeframe that week). AF was not due for a good 2 weeks, and I only usually get cramps the day before I start.
I agree that it really feels more muscular. So, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!!
Since you have a child, can you tell me how they calculate how many "weeks" I am? I was reading that it's based on the last day of your LMP. How come the first two weeks before you even conceived count? I won't get to see a Dr. for about another month, so I want to follow along with the books and what's going on inside me.
I think I'm starting my 6th week (my LMP was 9/25). Good luck again!
I still have my fingers crossed. These pulling/cramps are way early for me...and last night I had the worst heartburn of my life. It even woke me up. I have heard that some women get it really bad when pg. I hope I'm pg and not just guilty of eating too much candy on Halloween.

af on Tuesday, 11/5. I am now 12 dpo. When I was 8 dpo I took a test because i am paranoid, knowing it was well too early to test. To my surprise it had an extremely faint + result. since then i have taken 6 more tests, still very paranoid and impatient, so that makes it 7 tests total. 5 of them had a very faint positive. 2 were BFN. I figured its safe to assume the odds are with me and that I am pregnant right? I have a dr. appt wed. at 11. I hope my # doesnt get called Wed. for Jury Duty!!! Anyway,I am also having sore, swollen bb's,(that are honestly getting in my way now, they went for a c to a d in like 2 or 3 days), dull menstrual like cramps, some sharper shots of pain here and there in my lower abd. i guess thats what would be described as pulling and tugging sensations? but i have a question about the butterflies... Is that like feeling anxious and uneasy, sort of excited type of feeling all the time? makes it hard to sleep? I am also having heartburn and am tired, and i get nauseous, and now I can smell EVERYTHING!!! My sense of smell has trippled! i gag all the time because of this! I actually smelled someone's armpits from 5 feet away, over their cologne, and they were fresh out of the shower, and relaxed... (in other words, no reason for armpits to smell!)
sorry for rambling, its 6 am, and i am not tired, again!!!!!
