Abdominal fullness, fluttering and cramping and sore veiny breasts?
Can anyone help me? 4-8DPO – Had fullness in my uterus – suddenly very ‘aware’ of my uteus. Not painful but felt like it was pressing on my bladder. 9-13DPO – Fluttering feelings in stomach and mild pinching. Fluttering goes away when I stand up. Pinching in my belly button. 9-13DPO – sore breasts. They first felt tingly but now are quite sore. Get sudden pains down them. Very prominent blue veins leading into nipples but now I am getting prominent veins all over (never seen this before). 7-13DPO – period cramping with heaps of cervical mucus but no sign of period.
I am currently 13DPO. Fairly sure I’m not pregnant – several disappointing negative tests. Even my doctor is confused. He said it is not uterine fibroids, gas or constipation. Any ideas??? He said it could just be hormonal. Going back on Monday for bloods and urine. Anyone experienced anything like this? Thanks so much – quietly going insane.

Absolutely all of the symptoms of early pregnancy are exactly the same as those you can get just before your period.
When you are trying to conceive it’s very easy to try and attribute every little oddness to pregnancy, as you’ve never really noticed them before, when it’s just probably the fact that you are paying such very close attention to everything you’re feeling down there.
Your body doesn’t know that it is pregnant until a fertilised egg has implanted in the wall of the uterus and begun releasing pregnancy hormones, and that can happen anywhere between 6 and 14 days past ovulation.
I start getting cramping the day I ovulate and it tends to continue off an on until a few days into my period. My breasts get sore during ovulation and stay sore until my period.
There really is no point taking a pregnancy test until your period is actually late – implantation can take up to 14 days, which is usually when your period would start, and it takes several days after implantation for the HCG levels to build enough to be picked up by the tests.
The tests that say they work even before your period, only work if implantation happened at the early end of the range.
The ideal time to test is at 18DPO.
