    Early signs of pregnancy or illness?
    Early signs of pregnancy or illness?


    Hello everyone!
    I was diagnosed with a bad UTI infection 10 days ago. I had a significant amount of RBCs and leukocytes. I just finished up the antibiotics prescribed to me.
    I am having some lower abdominal, stomach, and lower back pain (still).
    My other half and I are sexually active and I am not on BC. I had a prior pregnancy that ended in a miscarriage in July. The fist symptom of the pregnancy was a head cold and exhaustion- both of which I have experienced this month. I felt my "symptoms of pregnancy" one week after conception.
    My question is if anyone has any hunches or information on whether I am showing symptoms from the UTI or a pregnancy.
    Thanks =]

    Additional Details
    I would also like to add that I have been having sharp breast pain on and off. My nipples are quite sensitive.
    If pregnant, I would be at 3 weeks. This is to early to show on most HPTs. I will be returning to the doctor's for a follow up U/A and I will request my HCGs be read as well. Just wanted to hear from other people's perspectives and perhaps hear some personal experiences.


    OTHER SIGNS
    • My bp has been higher than normal lately. This is quite new for me. The only other time I have had high blood pressure was when I was pregnant the first time.
    • I had a tiny pink trace in my vaginal discharge on the 18th -sorry if that's tmi-
    • My temp has been higher.
    • I HAVE BEEN CRABBBBYYY!!
    • Some nausea.
    • Lots of hunger. Its strange because I will start eating and immediately want to stop because I will feel like puking.
    • Gagged at raw hamburger.
    • Belly feels full and heavy.


    some small vaginal cramping? Not sure what that means...

    This would also mean you're too early to notice any signs of pregnancy. At 3 weeks, a fertilized egg would have just implanted and most women wouldn't feel pregnancy symptoms until 4 - 5 weeks.

    Sounds like your body is still recovering from your illness. If you were sick before your last conception, it would be a coincidence - not directly related to pregnancy.

    Wait a week and take a HPT with first morning urine. That'll tell you for sure.

    Thank you! I will test next week. I have been testing just about everyday. I am scheduled to get my wisdom teeth out on the same day my af is due so I really need to find out before then so I know what kind of medications are okay.
