Is anyone else having some cramping? On the day I had my implantation temp dip I woke up in the middle of the night with one HUGE pinch on my right side. Since then I've had pretty consistent pinching/poking feelings in the same spot. It's not like normal AF cramps and is mostly on my right side and very, very rarely on the left. It has me kinda freaked out, but I guess maybe that's just the side I ovulated from? I'm probably just worrying for nothing, but wondering if anyone else has that feeling on just one side?

ETA: By "side" I mean really low and kinda toward the center of my pelvis, where you'd feel O twinges, I think.

@fussygal: I've had pinches too. They seem to come and go on both sides though, although right after my BFP it was more one-sided.

I was starving all day, then when it was time for dinner, I got so nauseated it took a looong time for me to eat tonight.

@fussygal: I don't know if mine is cramping, but it feels like it only on my right side down low. It freaked me out!

Does anyone else have a snack drawer at work? Mine is a little crazy, it's all this plus a box of Cheerios that doesn't fit in there. #fatgirlprobs

@mrstiz @mrsdragon Over the weekend the cramps started happening on both sides so I feel a lot better!

@mrstiz I'm jealous of your snack drawer!

I was bragging to my SIL about how I haven't had any morning sickness yesterday and today I just threw up my entire sole. Gah

@ms.janedoe: My whole chin is like one giant under the skin pimple. So glamorous, ha.

Not much to report for symptoms here, other than breast tenderness and some dull, crampy feelings yesterday. I was positive AF was finally going to show up. I even POAS to make her, lol. No such luck. Oh, and I swear I already have placenta brain. I have accomplished NOTHING but talk to people about being pregnant, making pregnancy appointments, etc., haha! And I only found out this morning. But I'm so scatterbrained when it comes to anything else! Oh, and I'm starving, but that could be because I'm coming off of a diet involving 500 calories a day, lol. Yeah, told my nutritional counselor that coached me through the diet about my BFP and he's like, "Yeah, should probably go off it. Start adding in some fats." But other than that, I'm feeling pretty fine and normal. Which is typical for me when I'm pregnant. I'm lucky, I know.

@FarmWifeGina: wow, the diet sounds intense! Congrats on the weight loss.

I haven't broken out yet, but nausea has officially set in--at night. Fun. I had saltines and diet coke for dinner. Yuck.

@fussygal: Yeah, I was kinda made to have babies, lol. This is my 3rd pregnancy and all of them have been fairly straight-forward and easy, besides some pelvic/round ligament pain and other random pregnancy pains.
@DigAPony: I was on the HCG protocol, which is actually more of a program to fix one's metabolism with weight loss as a side effect. Granted, I did do it for the weight loss, but it's pretty unbelievable how it's fixed my low blood sugar issues and so on.

@FarmWifeGina: this might be a silly question, but i'm just curious, if someone is taking HCG for the diet then they have it in their system & that's what HPTs test for, so how do you test for pregnancy if you know you'll test positive for HCG even when you're not pregnant? do they have to test using ultrasound or is there a baseline that on the diet you don't go over so they can tell by your beta? or do you test out your last dose like when people test out their HCG fertility injections?

@mrs. bird: Sorry, did that answer your questions? I just kind if blathered about me and my HCG, lol.

@mrs. bird: No, I knew what you meant. Thanks! Congrats to you too!

My wrists and ankles feel like thy need to be popped multiple times a day. It's driving me nuts because I hate to pop bones, but the relief feels so good. I've never hear of this as a symptom, but it's never happened in so many places at once!

Anyone else here pregnant for the third or more time? What I'm feeling isn't really crampy, just full feeling the the lowest part of my belly. A bit like AF might be coming, but very, very mild- am I already feeling the stretching and growing of my uterus?! It's crazy!

@Ash: @MrsDragon: @ms.janedoe: Ugh - chin issues are my only symptom too. But I feel like it is so obvious and screaming "I'm pregnant" for everyone to see. I think between that and my crazy water consumption, the nurses at my work are suspicious.

I've been having short, stabbing pains mainly on my left side a little higher than my hips, like where O pain would be. Apparently, it sounds like round ligament pain, but I'm only 5 weeks?! Is it possible for it start that early? It's usually when I move too fast like when I went to get out of bed this morning or when I stood up real fast at work today.

Being that I've had a previous m/c, I'm super nervous. Someone reassure me that its not ectopic or anything to worry about.

@lilteacherbee: I had similar pains early on and now they're back again as of today, left side only. I'm 6 weeks today. I've heard from a few people that the one-sided cramping is pretty normal and it might be a corpus luteum cyst (I have no idea if I spelled that right, haha) which is what sustains the baby pre-placenta. But yeah, like @Ash said I think ectopic pain would be a lot more painful than twinges (at least that's what I'm banking on).

@lilteacherbee: My right arm went fully numb last weekend or the weekend before and I freaked and went to the ER! I think I'm going to be a bit worried until we get an ultrasound (which won't be until closer to 12 weeks, I think).

Crossing my fingers for you!

@MrsDragon: haha yeah I totally went to the ER too because of my shoulder. They said unless I was cramping or bleeding, I should be fine ( I'm pretty sure the shoulder pain happens AFTER a ruptured tube....so we would be in a lot of pain prior to anything shoulder related). They did bloodwork and my hcg was at nearly 10,000 and I was exactly 5 weeks so they were happy about that.

@MrsTiz: yep, near Wilmington! Where are you?!

@MrsTiz: my grandma and most of her family live near Fayetteville. And I actually grew up on Oak Island so def not too far from Holden Beach!
