This sounds pretty similar to my symptoms during both ovulation and my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-sign#post-2790270 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 02:19:34 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2790270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Indigo: wouldn’t hurt to take a pregnancy test. 😉 maybe grab the 88cent Walmart one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-pregnancy-sign#post-2790267 Wed, 06 Dec 2017 02:17:22 +0000 Indigo 2790267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First my cycles have always been irregular so not sure how many dpo I am. About 4 days ago had a pinching/tugging type cramping, nothing too painful just odd. The next day while riding in the car I got a major motion sickness attack. I haven’t had motion sickness since I was a child. After that, for the past couple of days, anytime I’m in the car I start to feel motion sickness coming on and earlier today had it hit while not in the car. My breasts have been kinda burning/aching today as well but they also do that before AF hits. Could these be pregnancy symptoms? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688446 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 10:14:41 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2688446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: sorry, hun. ❤ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688431 Sat, 28 Jan 2017 09:13:57 +0000 dominobee 2688431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah this is AF.

Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688188 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 16:03:57 +0000 Worrywart 2688188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're not out yet. I wiped some pink before I got my BFP ON CLOMID and had cramping. It may still be your month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688170 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 15:45:42 +0000 psw27 2688170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot of cramping before my BFP. I was like all mopey and like oh well, here comes AF. I also had some implantation bleeding. Well, 28 weeks later here I am. Fingers crossed for you! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688169 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 15:45:13 +0000 Mrs. Oreo 2688169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bizwitch: DANG IT!

I guess AF is here way early this month. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-9-10-dpo#post-2688132 Fri, 27 Jan 2017 14:58:43 +0000 dominobee 2688132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Experiencing cramping today that feels a lot like AF, just more subtle. Experiencing other PMS symptoms too, like lower back pain and knee pain (as I get older my joints become inflamed during AF - fun). But AF is not due for 3-5 more days. Usually the earliest I get AF symptoms is a day before it comes.</p> <p>Wondering if anyone ever had cramping before a BFP?</p> <p>This was our first cycle on Clomid and my first positive OPK (yay!) and we had terrific timing.</p> <p>This does not feel good but I'm not sure if it's okay to take Ibuprofen (which is what I have with me at work)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2576010 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:28:55 +0000 MrsSRS 2576010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BH didn't hurt, but contractions from dehydration did. Gatorade fixes it more quickly than water. But I really had to figure out how much water I needed (100 oz), figure out how many of my favorite straw cups that would be (5) and set times to finish each one (breakfast, 10am, lunch, 3pm, dinner) plus drink other beverages as I wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575998 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:15:15 +0000 magnoliamama42 2575998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This definitely happened to me! My abdomen would get rock hard. I'll second the other posters on drinking lots of water. It was hard for me, because I had HG - and because I'm just generally not very good at drinking water throughout the day. :silly: </p> <p>If you don't like water, maybe find something else you wouldn't mind sipping on (like Crystal Light or something)? And if you only like cold water, invest in an insulated cup. They make really cute ones now! That's what helped me the most - I got an insulated cup with a straw.</p> <p>Don't forget to mention it to your doc, too, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575823 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 09:22:11 +0000 Goldengirl 2575823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: I've been upping my water intake... I've always been pretty terrible at hydrating though even when I try really hard so that could contribute for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575818 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 09:20:10 +0000 Mrsbells 2575818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with the comment about drinking lots of water too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575808 Mon, 27 Jun 2016 09:11:33 +0000 Goldengirl 2575808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks, glad to know I'm not the only one! There are so many things that keep happening that no one has warned me about and I feel like I just have to figure it out through google... doctors don't tell you anything!</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: @LCTBQE: Thanks, that makes me feel better because everything I read online said BH are painless so I thought that couldn't be it. Definitely not fall-over-screaming kind of pain or anywhere close, just a quick tightening/cramping feeling that passes very quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575574 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:53:50 +0000 delight 2575574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have them too! Only once or twice a day but usually if I have gone awhile without drinking water. Mine aren't really uncomfortable. Just a strange tightening sensation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575571 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:51:10 +0000 LCTBQE 2575571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, exactly what @T.H.O.U.: said. I also started getting them around 19 w, and they're definitely not "painless" in the sense I expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575558 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:15:07 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2575558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like BH. </p> <p>Mine are more uncomfortable. I think pain free more means like you can still talk and breathe through them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575557 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 19:12:29 +0000 winniebee 2575557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It sounds like Braxton hicks. I would call your doc with advice on when to monitor them more closely. I had them early and often throughout my pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575508 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:45:46 +0000 Cole 2575508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto about the BH, keeping hydrated and keeping my bladder empty were key to keeping them in check (yes, I realize this may be impossible during pregnancy...) mine started early too and she stayed put until after her due date. I was told to call if I had more than 5 in an hour after trying water, bathroom and laying on my side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575504 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:39:07 +0000 maddyz 2575504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes my BH contractions are uncomfortable, especially when I feel like I am growing. More water! More rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575501 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 16:31:12 +0000 MrsRcCar 2575501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happens to me when I am dehydrated! Keep the fluids up and rest momma. Call the doctor if your worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tighteningcramping-uterus#post-2575492 Sun, 26 Jun 2016 15:53:38 +0000 Goldengirl 2575492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo another thing to add to the list of weird things happening all of a sudden... the past few days (18-19 weeks) I've noticed that I'm getting some lower abdominal cramps that are a bit sharp, which in itself didn't really worry me because I've been crampy all through pregnancy so far and know that there's a big growth spurt going on. However I noticed that when it happens, if I put my hand over the area, my uterus suddenly feels rock hard. It lasts maybe 30 seconds and then stops.</p> <p>Of course I got to googling and then freaked myself out about contractions. I'll check with my doctor this week if it keeps happening but just wondering if anyone else experienced this this early on? I thought maybe braxton hicks, but thought those weren't supposed to have any pain and typically happen later... so I don't know if that's it. I'm not super worried since they're infrequent... but the hardening thing kind of weirds me out. Any thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cramping-at-13-weeks-anyone-else#post-2550834 Tue, 17 May 2016 21:18:07 +0000 MrsSRS 2550834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: same! </p>
