This is my first (and probably only time for a few years) that I am TTC (we having timing issues, long story. We are hoping for beginners luck!) I told myself that I wouldn't obsess about this, but oh well!! I still have a week before my period is due and I know that I shouldnt be seeing any symptoms this early because even if I am pg, the hcg probably isn't very high yet... anyway, I am noticing some things that are different and I want some opinions.

Normally, my hair falls out A LOT, if I'm just sitting there or if I'm in the shower, I notice all kinds of hair. NOW, its like I'm not losing ANY. For the past 4 or 5 mornings I've noticed a little bit of blood when I brush my teeth. That never happens normally and I don't THINK that there's anything wrong with my teeth or gums. I'm ALWAYS hungry. (when I was off the pill a few months ago I was never hungry, when I went back on, I was hungry) I'm not a big breakfast person but if I don't eat something first thing now I feel sick. And its like I can never get full. This one makes NO sense... I'm craving beer. I HATE beer! (I'm not giving into that craving tho, lol) I don't know what I am craving about it, like the frothy, germy taste I guess... its weird! This last one I just noticed in the shower as I was washing myself. I'm swollen down there. I haven't had sex since Tuesday so I don't think that's why. Oh, one more, I'm having some bathroom issues. I pee a lot (but I'm also trying to drink more water so I dont know!) but I don't do the other very much (TMI, I know!)

I didn't use an OPK so I don't know if I ovulated, but we BD'd every day or every other day for two weeks around the time I should have O'd and I THINK I had fertile CM but then again this is my first time so i can only go by what people say it looks like!

Any thoughts on my above "symptoms?"

Thanks!

Seems like the blood on the toothbrush seems a little early to be a pg symptom since it's generally because you have more blood in your system. However, the hair thing seems spot on! Mine did the same thing. It was so nice during my pg to keep my hair, instead of loosing it like usual! Also, I got a bloody nose about every other day after about the first trimester.

Good luck!
