My period isn't due until the 17th. According to the calender I ovulated around the 3rd. (I don't chart or temp or anything) I started feeling crampy yesterday & today...like period type cramps. What could that be?
Now my whole uterus feels tender, like a constant dull ache ... I've never felt this before it's weird. My boobs are getting sore too. I'm guessing early pms.
Ok, so I found out I'm pg, which explains the cramps....but I've never had them like this before! It's like a constant ache & seems to be getting worse. I don't understand because I've been pg 12 previous times & never had this. Any one else have them? It's freaking me out a little. I got my bfp on a frer 4 days before af was due.
Ok thanks @homebirthadvocate It's not seriously painful, just constant & annoying. I went ahead & made an early appt with my ob since I had thyroid issues last time & at wic last month my iron was low.
@homebirthadvocate Thanks, The pain is only in the middle & I know it's my uterus because I have pretty good body awareness in that area after all these years lol Almost feels like pms cramps.
@homebirthadvocate: I didn't have the typical symptoms and my cramping started at about 4 weeks. Before I had the rupture I only had period like cramping and no shoulder or radiating pain. They checked for ectopic, after my continuous pain, by checking my beta levels. This is why I mentioned ectopic at this point.
@mijita Oh no! I didn't know you had an ectopic before. Was your cramping real painful? Because mine is more dull & achey. I'm seeing my ob Tuesday so I'll mention it, thanks. Btw, do you recommend any special diet for pregnancy? I'm worried about the vegan thing because I was doing it full force during my last pregnancy when I miscarried. Also, I read that it can cause anemia & guess what? I'm anemic! Blah! I've been trying to get more protein by eating eggs for breakfast & adding some kefir or yogurt during the day. I always forget how to get iron! Thanks, you're the greatest!
@ homebirthadvocate is correct. It is a bit too early for you to fear ectopic. If they are following you closely, they will most likely catch it before it becomes an issue
