Do any of you other ladies have a possible pregnancy sign of feeling EXTREMELY full after you eat - even if you didn't eat very much?!?! Am I crazy or has someone else felt this way too and been pregnant!?!?!?

I'd appreciate any responses!

Thanks - JAG

It's nice to know I'm not the only one going insane!!! I go to the doctor on Monday and hopefully I will find out if I am or if I'm not - I'm soooo tired of the waiting game!! What makes mine worse is that I'm sooo irregular that I have to wait even LONGER to see what's happening!!! Finger crossed for you though!!

I know what you mean about being irregular my period is anywhere from 28 to 50 days....i've been trying to chart it for the past couple of months but they've been all over the place. My last was 9/15 and i had spotting on 10/18 thought i would have af about 10/22 but no show. We're not trying but not not trying :) i'm going quietly insane because i know i'm so irregular and i don't want to tell dh until i know for sure (would like to surprise him) I'm having enough other symptoms that i'm beginning to go crazy :) I don't know why the hpt are coming up negative...i'm kind of afraid of doctors so i've been rather hesitant to make an appointment...i would definatly go if i got a + but i don't want to go and have to deal with a doctor and then have it be for a -

argh!!!

Hi JAG!

You said you have to wait longer to find out what's going on because you have irregular periods...is that true and how much longer...? I had one period in May after getting off the pill in Jan. - in August I had about 10 days of extreme pregnancy symptoms (bloating, extreme tiredness, sore breasts, nausea, etc.) and very very light pinkish spotting for a day or so...then Sept. the symptoms mostly went away...beginning of Oct. they came back with a vengeance and haven't gone away since. I had light brownish spotting for a couple of days a week ago. I've taken about 5 home preg tests - all neg. and had an ultrasound done in August (on day 9 of my symptoms) to check for cysts - nothing unusual was found...can you share more of your story with me....? Thanks!

WOW....

I tought that I was the only one going this crazy. I too am very irregular. Anywhere between 30-55 days so it is really hard to tell when I am going to have a peroid and my cm is also hard to count on. My last af was 9/17. I have not had any spotting but for the last two weeks I have had really sore nipples (sorry new ) and also they are getting darked but what I am not sure about is closes to the area around the tip of the nipples is really light and the rest is darker,sometimes appearing red to brown. Also I had about a week worth of heartburn and major cramping(not normal I usually get no cramps with AF)and really bad lower back achs. I have been peeing more and I feel so bloated. I just told my DH that I feel like I have eaten a cow. Oh my gosh I have horrible gas. But I have hAD All -hpt test and the quantative test I have taken because of the doctor have all come back -(I have taken one every Friday since the 10/17, ) On the 10/17 the serum said my hcg levels where .05 and then on 10/31 they where .64, So they are neg. I am to take another one tomorrow but I dont know if I can take another neg, My question is how come I am producing HCG if I am not preg. yet. and if I am not preg why should I go back tomorrow. When can you tell if you got Preg. I aslo have been really dry when I wipe is that normal if you are preg.?????? Please helpppp


I am praying over HPTs so please pray for me and I have prayed for all of you

Hello,

I am new to this too and was wondering the samething. I feel full all day even if I don't eat anything. Interesting... I won't know if I am pregnant until Nov 15th, but I feel like something is going on down there. Who knows, it may just be wishful thinking.

I know what you mean about not wanting to tell your dh - I'm in the same boat!! It's so nice to hear that they're are other women cursed with this irregular cycle stuff!! It makes it sooo hard to tell when you are pregnant - because you can't test after 1 month because you're normally not due then anyway!! I tried charting mine too a few years ago and gave up because they were so off base! It's sooo frustrating to me! I go to the doctor on Monday and I'm hoping that they will be able to tell if I'm pregnant or not!! But I also am afraid to because I don't want to hear if I'm not pregnant - then I can obsess on why my body is giving me pregnancy symptoms!! I'm about to lose my mind!!!

Best of luck to you - I'll keep my fingers crossed!

It's so great to talk to other women who can relate to this!! I felt I was crazy too!!! I don't see how your hcg is going up if you're not pregnant! That sounds really weird to me! You seem to have ALOT of the same symptoms as me - let me know what you find out today!! I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Thanks for responding back!! I have 2 kids (8 and 5) and with my 5 year old my last af was the last week in August, 1997 and I took a HPT on October 9, 1997 and it was -. So I took Provera to induce a period and it never came - which was a sign that I could possibly be pregnant. I re-tested on October 24, 1997 and got a very very faint line - and my daughter was born on June 24, 1998. So it took quite a while to show up in my urine!! It is so frustrating to me!!! If I was you I would call my doctor again to see what's up! Something definately doesn't sound like it's right with your body. Hope you have a minute because here is my LOOOONNNNGGGG story. Like I said, my dh and I have 2 children (Carter & Chandlyr), my son (Carter) has symptoms of ADD - he's EXTREMELY distractable - which makes parenting him (he's the 8 year old) more difficult than our daughter (more stressful as well). My dh and I have a great relationship but I want one more child and he kind of feels too stressed out. We have basically used no birth control for 4 years - except the withdraw method - until last month. On my birthday (October 8th) he "left a deposit in my bank" as a birthday present (sorry if tmi). A few days after that I started spotting - which I NEVER do. I called my doctor the next week and they wanted me to come in for blood work - mind you it was only 1 week to the day that I could have conceived - and it came back negative. I think that might have been because it was too early to detect yet. I have since taken 4 HPT and all have come back -. But given my history with HPT not showing up I don't know what to think! Now here it is November 7th and I have no AF but I have had waves of nausea, headaches, extremely full stomach when I eat, bloating, lovely teenage acne and oily skin, sinus pressure and pain, fatique, on and off sore breasts, my bb's feel more full than sore right now, not being able to sleep even though I'm exhausted, etc... I just can't help but think it is too coincidental for it to maybe not be true!! But I guess I'll have to wait until Monday to find out - I have my yearly exam then and I would hope they would be able to tell if I was by then - seems I would have conceived over a month ago! Good luck to you - sorry if I bored ya with my song and dance!! Keep your chin up!!

hey JAG it is great to know other woman have really irregular peiods..it does make it hard to figure any dates...I agree I want to know if i am but i don't want to know that i'm not and there's something else wrong. The boards make it a little bit easier 'cause at least i have someone to talk to about it. I probably would have gone nutso by now if i didn't live on these boards ;) let me know how your appointment goes. I'll probably go to planned parenthood sometime next week. I don't have a regular ob-gyn so i don't know if i could get in to see one for a bloodtest.

here's to bloodwork ! :)
