So disappointed. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-854322 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 10:41:08 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 854322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested last night and this morning using wondfo tests- both negative. Still no period. I am 13 DPO and on CD 32. My luteal phase before removing paragard was 7-9 days, and my longest cycle in the past 3 years was 30 days, and I am regular. I still feel off and forgetful. I usually get mood swings before my period and I'm not having those (just angst over this). My temp did drop some this morning but still over the coverline (and I woke up freezing due to a/c left on during a storm). I think I am, but why aren't the tests positive? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-853765 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:48:14 +0000 littlek 853765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Have you tested??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-853756 Thu, 13 Jun 2013 08:45:39 +0000 MrsLilybugg 853756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: Please keep us posted!!!! Crossing fingers for you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-849897 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 21:51:22 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 849897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: Yes. My cycle runs 25-27 days typically, with luteal phase 7-9 days before removing the paragard. The longest cycle I have had in the past year was 29 days. I am currently on CD 30 and 11 DPO. DH and I agreed to test tomorrow since due to work schedules, we won't see each other until tomorrow evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-849690 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 20:47:29 +0000 Shutterbug 849690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: you're 11 dpo now, right? Late enough to test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-849217 Tue, 11 Jun 2013 18:30:17 +0000 dc yoga bee 849217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: So excited for you! Same AmeliaBedilia from WB? We were month twins! I think! March 2012. I was lawgirl then changed to Mrs. Elvis! Anyways, good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-846386 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 21:21:50 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 846386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i always thought "pregnancy brain" must be caused by lack of sleep, because at some point in your pregnancy it just becomes impossible to STTN. Similar to mommy brain, but the reason for sleep deprivation is different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-846268 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:43:26 +0000 Vegmama 846268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think the headache could be something! The month I got my BFP was my most symtom free month (funny how that works). Best wishes!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-846195 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 20:25:11 +0000 MrsLilybugg 846195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: oooooohhh good luck!!! 2 days late is a great sign. And yes, AMAZING restraint. As fat as pregnancy brain, I think mine started in second tri. I also had ZERO symptoms ore BFP. Had normal PMS cramping that convinced me that AF was around corner . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-846104 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:56:51 +0000 LovelyPlum 846104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: ooh, you are so patient!! I definitely would have POAS by this time. Why have you decided to wait to test, out of curiosity? Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-846084 Mon, 10 Jun 2013 19:48:58 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 846084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am 1-2 days late, which is rare for me. DH and I agreed we wouldn't test for another two days if my period doesn't show up. We both think I am, but it seems unreal, and is so hard to wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842716 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 07:00:09 +0000 jh524 842716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AmeliaBedilia: no other symptoms? Who knows better than you, if you feel "off" and that the migraine, forgetfulness, and other is not normal than im sure your right, you might be pregnant. I knew I was by early symptoms around dpo 8-9. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842701 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 06:34:26 +0000 heffalump 842701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, my DH wants was convinced I was pregnant because I had such bad "pregnancy" brain! He made me take a test. But I guess it was just extra bad mommy brain for me. Right now I'm 12 weeks and haven't felt any dumber :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842645 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 01:31:10 +0000 Sapphiresun 842645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you very well could be pregnant, but I wouldn't expect pregnancy brain to be affecting you this soon.</p> <p>I'm 32 weeks, and I don't think I've had anything to speak of yet that would be more spacey than usual. But easy enough to blame it on that instead of actually taking accountability for my usual mistakes :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842608 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:30:16 +0000 singingbee 842608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pregnancy brain started very recently. I'm 21 weeks and I completely spaced about a workshop I was supposed to attend earlier this week. Like, was not aware of the day of the week. I didn't really have anything like that when I was first pregnant. This time around, I really didn't have any real symptoms before I tested, unlike other months when I swore I was pregnant based on symptoms and I wasn't really. </p> <p>Fingers crossed that you get happy news soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842600 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:16:14 +0000 Grace 842600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got preggo brain around 20-ish weeks. Every out-of-it moment before that, I attributed go stress and fatigue. You may be pregnant, but personally, I didn't get any symptoms until after my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842592 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 00:00:47 +0000 Cherrybee 842592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had zero symptoms both times I got my BFP!! Like, nothing at all! Fingers crossed for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842563 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 23:15:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 842563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know for you, but I never got "pregnancy brain." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842561 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 23:12:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 842561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know when the pregnancy brain started but I'm sure it was later than that. To the migraine- I did acupuncture to treat my migraines and it did make them worse for a bit before they got better so it could be that.<br /> My bra band size did go up very early- like by 6 weeks my bras felt like a rubber and squeezed around my chest. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-pregnancy-brain-start#post-842492 Sat, 08 Jun 2013 21:43:50 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 842492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are TTC and I am 8 DPO. I had acupuncture for the first time at 2 DPO and haven't been feeling right. I had a migraine (highly unusual at 3 DPO since I usually only get them during my cycle, and acupuncture is supposed to prevent migraines) and I have been feeling extremely stupid for the past 4-5 days. My memory is terrible, and I keep forgetting words and things I never forget. I think my bra was slightly tighter this morning, but no other symptoms. DH and I both have a gut feeling that I'm pregnant but think it might just be wishful thinking. What do you think? Is this too early for pregnancy brain? If it is pregnancy brain, how do I deal? </p>
