Hey ladies I am turing to you for some opinions here!! Am I just getting hopeful or could these be RPS??? OK so for the last week to week and a half I have been having a cramping/pulling feeling in my lower abdomen, I have had heartburn, headaches, I have been consipated (TMI I KNOW) off and on and last night DH said that my bbs are getting bigger (as did one of the gals I work with who knows that we are ttc) I have also been having lots of backaches, some mood swings oh and been very tired and lazy!! Oh and I don't know if this is just pure coincidence or not but a couple of nights ago I was making something for dinner that I have made before but the smell of it made me gag!!
I hope that I am not reading into this to much but DH said that he has been thinking this for the last few days with everything that I have been complaining about. I also told him the other night that he should be pg for all of the strange foods that he has been craving LOL. Any advice/input would help I am going nuts here, I am going to test on wednesday, I don't want to spend the extra money on hpts but the one under my bathroom cupboard is calling my name!!!
TIA!!




I have only been pregnant once, so I am not the best one to answer your question, but I will try.
1. Constipation´I know can be caused by pregnancy, I think that the progesterone can cause that, from what I have read. I didnt have this at all.
2. Boobs getting bigger-can definitely be a pregnancy symptom, is different for everyone, I had terrible achy sore and swollen boobs with my pregnancy in my 2 ww.
3. Headaches-I had some bad headaches with DD later on in my first trimester and at 14 weeks they had me see a special doc to prescribe something for it, but they went away before I hit my third trimester.
4. Backaches and cramps-well my back hurts when I cramp, and I had cramps in my 2 ww with DD, it was so bad that I WAS SURE AF WAS COMING!!!!
5. Tiredness-Yes I was very tired with DD. This one is kinda hard to know if its a RPS or not til after you get the BFP I think since so many other things can cause it.
6. Heightened sense of smell-definitely had that when my morning sickness hit at 7 weeks and then after morning sickness went away at around 14 to 16 weeks I still had it.
7. Mood Swings-Yep I cried over everything that was even remotely sweet or sad lol. I dont think I remember feeling this way at the very beginning, but I think I was cramping and feeling yuck so I probably DID snap at DH I am sure. hehe.
Like I said I am not much help. I hope they are RPS!!!! Good Luck and let us know!

Nik, those sound like awesome RPS's to me - i too have been cramping a lot, but different from PMS or typical 2WW cramps. then last night was the clincher - i woke up at 12.30, then 3.30, and did not get back to sleep - just lay there, STARVING . it is 8 am, i never went back to sleep. this is how i am for 9 months, EVERY time, seems pretty real to me!! i tested, but BFn. No worries. i need to start wearing a hat, because after last night, if i am not pregnant, i will eat my hat!!!!
also i am horny, LOL, needy, and i got all emotional this morning, and put on a sweater and cozy pajama pants to make my self feel better - very pathetic, and vey RPS-y!!!!! I had veal parm for breakfast, ( i can eat a HORSE when i am PG) and when cooking dinner the last couple days, the smell made me want to run away, LOL.
baby dust!! i hope we get BFPs together!!ETS: please get some dollar tests and test sooner ;-)
