Hi everyone,

I'm currently on my 3rd round. I got my period on March 1st. I've had a 30-day cycle for the past 2 months now, which is really nice.

Last Friday, March 17th, was supposed to be my ovulation day. I've been having lower back pain and some tingling/muscle ache in my lower abdomen over the past few days. I also feel a pulling sensation in my uterus/ovaries. There's watery discharge, sometimes slightly creamy, and I'm dealing with bloating, gas, etc. I've had these symptoms even before ovulation. We did a lot of DIY work leading up to and on the day of ovulation. Could I be pregnant? I feel really different...

I'm really curious to hear about your early symptoms!

Love,

    Hi Baby123,
    How are your symptoms doing so far? I can't really speak from experience, but it seems early to tell this soon after ovulation, since implantation hasn't happened yet.
    Have you noticed any other symptoms in the meantime? When is your period due?
    Greetings!

    Hi americandream,
    I still have the same complaints, it feels really weird. Withdrawing could be an option, but I haven't had any issues last month. Falling asleep at night has been really bad for the past 3 days. I can only test next Monday/Tuesday. My period should start again on April 1st. That feeling in my belly feels so strange, it's not an irritating pain. It really feels like tingling and tightening. I thought it was muscle pain at first... but I don't exercise haha.
    Love

    I’ve had this too after ovulation. Right before my ovulation, really sharp twinges, then for a few days a nagging, bloated feeling. Can be due to ovulation. Now 5 days before my period and no more discomfort.

    Hope the symptoms ease up a bit (or not ). And if you test on Monday or Tuesday and it’s negative, definitely test again on Sunday (02/04). Testing too early can give you a false impression!
    And like Skullie says, it could indeed be due to your ovulation. Since you already had it before ovulation.
    But we’re rooting for you! Keep us posted!

    Hi baby123,
    I can relate to some of your symptoms. I stopped taking the pill in December, and for sure in the last two cycles, I had an annoying feeling in my belly after ovulation, with occasional sharp twinges. This lasted until my period started!
    This cycle (March 29 due date), I had that again from ovulation until a few days after. Then it seemed to calm down (some twinges near my groin), and I've been quite gassy for the past 3 days.
    No clear pattern to tie a string to, so...

    Hey everyone, I have a question.. I don't know what to think. I'm 10 days late today (28-day cycle), and I haven't been off the pill for very long, so it could be post-pill. Without the pill, my cycle isn't that regular.
    My pill withdrawal started on 02/13. From 03/02 I had some brown discharge for 3 to 4 days, very little, with one instance of light bleeding when wiping. After that, nothing more.
    On 03/17 I tested and it was negative. But up until today, no period yet. I also haven't been feeling like I usually do for a while. Last week I had headaches, not this week. But I do have frequent stomach pain, really a weird feeling. My stomach is also more sensitive, but I don't feel nauseous. And I often feel dizzy. I'll definitely test again tomorrow. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Greetings

    It could indeed be due to the unpeeling. And maybe do a test again.

  8. Cindy Guest #9

    I think so too. But you're thinking about everything, right, and hoping to give yourself some hope that it might turn out positive Thanks for your response.
    I'll definitely do that tomorrow morning

    Good luck with the testing!!!

    It could indeed be withdrawal bleeding, Cindy. Your cycle might seem regular and then suddenly play tricks on you.
    I had it the other way around. Suddenly a cycle of 16 days and 2 days of light bleeding... it's normal.
    But yeah, testing again can't hurt. Good luck!

    Hi americandream,
    I've been having symptoms for the past 2 weeks. I tested twice last week, unfortunately both negative. And this morning I tested again just to be sure, and that was negative too. I should be getting my period today/tomorrow. I'm feeling a bit weird in my stomach now. I think I'll just have to wait and see if my period comes. How are you doing?
    Love,

    Here I have a flu-like feeling, tired but can't sleep well, swollen groin, little stabs on the left in my lower belly (can't really pinpoint it). These things feel very familiar to me (from my last pregnancy). But I don't dare to hope, still 7 days to wait...

    Hi everyone,
    Last month was really stressful. All sorts of weird symptoms. And then, to top it off, I was 2 days late. But unfortunately, I got my period on April 3rd. (Your body can really play tricks on you.) On to the next round. How are things going for you all?
    Love,

  14. klein hartje #15

    And look... 1 or 2 days before the due date...

  15. Jackie #16

    Congratulations, little heart!

    Thank you

    Had a sensitivity test today; it was still white on Wednesday. And now there's a faint line
