What were you early pregnancy signs?

Question

I got off the nuvaring in early November. I'm starting to have some weird signs such as: dull ache/ cramp in my lower abdomen (usually on the right), constipation, gas, a mild yeast infection, my nipples were EXTREMELY sore but it only lasted for about 5 days and subsided, my breast are still slightly swollen and heavy, I started taking my basal body temp. and its been hovering around 99.0-3...I took a pregnancy test about 2 days ago and BFN. I was wondering when I should test. Since I got off the nuvaring I'm not sure when I ovulated or when my period is due, but I do know that I've never gotten sore nipples before and hot flashes. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

i've also been extremely tired and feeling slightly sick after waking up with horrible headaches.

Hi Honey, here are some symptoms of pregnancy, check them and then see your doctor

Tender, swollen breasts
One of the early signs of pregnancy is sensitive, sore breasts caused by increasing levels of hormones. The soreness may feel like an exaggerated version of how your breasts feel before your period. Your discomfort should diminish significantly after the first trimester, as your body adjusts to the hormonal changes.

Fatigue
Feeling tired all of a sudden? No, make that exhausted. No one knows for sure what causes early pregnancy fatigue, but it's possible that rapidly increasing levels of the hormone progesterone are contributing to your sleepiness.

You should start to feel more energetic once you hit your second trimester, although fatigue usually returns late in pregnancy when you're carrying around a lot more weight and some of the common discomforts of pregnancy make it more difficult to get a good night's sleep

Nausea or vomiting
If you're like most women, morning sickness won't hit until about a month after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But some women do start to feel queasy a bit earlier. And not just in the morning, either — pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

About half of women with nausea feel complete relief by the beginning of the second trimester. For most others it takes another month or so for the queasiness to ease up.

Increased sensitivity to odors
If you're newly pregnant, it's not uncommon to feel repelled by the smell of a bologna sandwich or cup of coffee and for certain aromas to trigger your gag reflex. Though no one knows for sure, this may be a side effect of rapidly increasing amounts of estrogen in your system. You may also find that certain foods you used to enjoy are suddenly completely repulsive to you.

Abdominal bloating
Hormonal changes in early pregnancy may leave you feeling bloated, similar to the feeling some women have just before their period arrives. That's why your clothes may feel snugger than usual at the waistline, even early on when your uterus is still quite small.

Frequent urination
Shortly after you become pregnant, you may find yourself hurrying to the bathroom all the time. Why? Mostly because during pregnancy the amount of blood and other fluids in your body increases, which leads to extra fluid being processed by your kidneys and ending up in your bladder.

This symptom may start as early as six weeks into your first trimester and continue or worsen as your pregnancy progresses and your growing baby exerts more pressure on your bladder.

A missed period
If you're usually pretty regular and your period doesn't arrive on time, you'll probably take a pregnancy test long before you notice any of the above symptoms. But if you're not regular or you're not keeping track of your cycle, nausea and breast tenderness and extra trips to the bathroom may signal pregnancy before you realize you didn't get your period.

Your basal body temperature stays high
If you've been charting your basal body temperature and you see that your temperature has stayed elevated for 18 days in a row, you're probably pregnant

Good luck.

Maybe those signs were things that happen when you get off the nuvaring? I don't know much about it. I'd wait another two weeks and test then. The first symptom I noticed was an adversion to smells that never bothered me before, such as I used to smoke but suddenly the smell of smoke would send me running to the bathroom. Frequent urination is also another early sign. If you continue to get BFNs, check with your doctor and see if it is common to feel that way when getting off the nuvaring. :)

Answer 3

It could just be side effects from coming off of the nuvaring. I would call the doctor who put you on the nuvaring and see what the normal time is to have a period afterwards. Sometimes in can be 3 to 6 months coming off of birth control.

Answer 4

i think you best bet is to talk to your doctor about it. they would know what to do and it would sure to put ease to your mind hearing it from a person that went to school to know all that stuff

Answer 5

It could be lots and lots of stress.
