Hello! I am a 34 y/o mom of 1 trying to figure out what is going on right now. Last AF was March 31st, and am using no BC, possible conception around the 12th. For the last 3 weeks, these are the symptoms I have been having in order of occurrence:
1. skin broke out
2. increased urination
3. increased thirst
4. incredible fatigue
5. vertigo
6. swollen abdomen (feels like cotton inside, at least 2 wks now)
7. "lightening strike" intense cramps that come as soon as they go
8. pelvic bone aching
9. increasing nausea alternating with hunger....just last few days. I ate lunch earlier today, and a short bit later felt strange nausea come on, having nausea in the mornings, and throughout the day.
10. not sleeping due to abdominal discomfort
11. needing naps at odd times
12. Some low back aches
13. really funny headaches that come and go
I just completed an ultrasound yesterday which was essentially normal except for enlarged cervix. The ultrasound tech kept asking me when my last period was, if I had taken a pregnancy test yet,and wanted to brief me, but then after talking to her supervisor said she is not permitted to say anything. I am told it is a bit too early to see anything to make a positive diagnosis via ultrasound. I am still at least 5 days out from expected AF. I also had early symptoms with my son...so??? The only thing I don't currently have is sore bbs...but then again could be too early?

Well you are 12 DPO as of today, so You could try testing be sure to use FMU though to get the best result you can.

Well, I am down to the day before AF expected....a bit nervous. Still have pretty much same symptoms. Day before yesterday could barely button my pants, and I am very slender, normally don't gain weight before AF. Noticed I had a fresh stretch mark just below my belly button...so it is evident that I do have abdominal expansion of some sort going on. DH freaked out when he saw it, as I really didn't even get stretch marks with my first pregnancy, but that was several years ago. Again, ultrasound was pretty much normal, but trying to rule out the tiny ovarian cyst (identified months ago) as a cause of this oddness. 2 tests negative for UTI.
Went into lab for test yesterday, doctor ordered pregnancy test with blood test, but I was a little discouraged when I found out all they were doing was a urine preg. test and not a blood preg test. I don't know if it might be still too early or not. Time should tell soon. I guess it is not a concern unless I miss AF now!
Morning temps last 3 days have been 98.2, and afternoon temps 96.7 to 99.0. One thing I do know from past charting is I normally run very low...96 and 97 in the morning, and normal or subnormal during the day. So at the very least I must have some sort of infection going on if it is not pregnancy. I do feel very very warm, alternating with occasional chills, but mostly hot. This seems to be getting worse. Continued low back pain, funny abdominal feeling with achyness, and feels uncomfortable to cross legs. Fatigue, heavy heavy hitting fatigue in the afternoons and evenings, and slight funny headaches that come and go. Nausea seems to go hand and hand with fatigue, but I haven't had it so much being at home resting.
Anyhow, the countdown is started, thank you all for your responses and support! Fingers crossed, but at the same time not wanting to get hopes up too high...
