Hi,

I am on Cycle day 25, and for the last 3 days I have encountered gas pains. Some have been so bad, that I have bent over on the floor and held my stomach until it passed. I never get gas pains...in fact I don't usually have a lot of gas (never have). So this is very strange to me.

Is having alot of gas or gas pains a sign of pregnancy?? (Am I grasping? LOL)

Thanks!

being more gassy is supposedly a symptom of pregnancy. but, what you're talking about sounds more severe than i would expect that to be. i had symptoms like that once and was told that i might have irritable bowel syndrome, but i've never been tested for it so i don't know. in my case, i don't get the pains very often, but when i do, i'll get them every couple of days for a week or two at a time. these pains do put me on the floor when they hit. they tend to hit after i've eaten food i'm not used to eating, or if i eat greasy food too many meals in a row (i can't eat a decent amount of french fries two days in a row!) hopefully this is a good sign for you, but if it persists and you aren't pregnant, it may be worth seeing a doctor about!
