Early signs of pregnancy?

Question

Hey ladies I’m 20 years old and me an my SO have been trying for a baby for the last 2 weeks. I excited to be mom I’m just kinda clueless and looking for some tips and knowledge form you guys. What are the early signs of pregnancy and what tips and tricks do you guys have about dealing with the crazy pregnancy hormones and pains? I’ve been having non stop cramps all day for the past 2-3 days. I’m 2 weeks away from my next period and I don’t get cramps until the week before my period. I’m going to take a test tomorrow but in as hoping you all had some in site!

Answer

Start tracking your cycle!!! Learn what it feels like when you ovulate, how your body changed. Cervical mucus, cervical position, etc... if you have sex during your “fertile week” then you could very well be experiencing implantation cramping or it could be ovulation cramping. Hcg isn’t released until after implantation so I highly doubt you’d get a positive test right now. Gosh I’ve never had a positive until at least 5 days past AF. I’m wishing you all the luck though!!!

Answer

I agree that it’s too early to test or have symptoms if you are indeed pregnant. If your period is two weeks away, you’d just now be in your fertile window (approximately) and it wouldn’t be until the day or two before your missed period that you could accurately test. At that point, you’d possibly experience minor cramping, a bit of spotting, and sore boobs. Then, after another week or two, you’d have fatigue and nausea set in. I’d suggest using ovulation tests to get a better idea of when you are likely to conceive.

Answer

I'm sure you have been getting a lot of great advise, but what worked for me was to stop trying and just enjoy each other's company and enjoy making that sweet love with each other. Saying that you trying is putting unnecessary stress, which you don't feel but your body feels. So the less you try in a way the quicker things work... yet every body is different so even if you take advice from all the ladies (including myself) doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna work for you :)... small advise which I think helped me to conceive my first baby boy was this book called 'the secret' all the things you want can be attracted to yourself... including love and obviously baby...

Answer

I’m seems early to take a test , usually you wait until you’ve missed your period that way your body has built up enough hcg to be detected for a positive test.

Answer

And if it doesn’t magically happen for you, like some of these comments say, just know that 1/8 couples do have fertility struggles and if that happens you aren’t alone! So many people will tell you to “stop trying and just enjoy” but that only works if there is not a true physiological issue. We are taught from youngsters that sex=babies but that isn’t always so easily the case. Start tracking your cycles and it can take a healthy (in a reproductive sense) up to a year to conceive. I wish you all the best!! 💙

Answer

My first and only symptom was sore boobs. I thought I was getting my period because its usually my first sign aunt flow was coming, then glow app said my period was late, so I waited about a week to see if maybe it was just coming a little late, I had just gotten my IUD taken out so I wasnt sure what my cycle was going to be like. but it was a week or so later I took a test and it said pregnant!!

Answer

If you’re two weeks away from your period and having cramps, you could take an ovulation test to see if you are ovulating. That can cause cramps.
