All right. Hello, my name is Arra and I think I might be pregnant obviously.

My period ended on 5/25/2011. About a week and a half later I experienced a change in my vaginal discharge. There was more of it and it was sort of mucus like. Slimy and thin like snot. Gross I know. I believe that that time was my ovulation period. Between Sunday the 5th of June and Friday the 10th I had had sexual intercourse with my fiancé every day at least once a day. For the past few months we've been trying to have a baby. It was around the 6th that the change in my discharge happened. Now it was only about five days later that I felt exhausted and sleeping more. However I was also having a horrible time trying to fall asleep at night and I still am. I can't seem to get comfortable and fall asleep.

More recently, in the past three or four days I've had horrible nausea, lower back pain, cramping in my lower abdomen (And I don't even hardly cramp during my period), headaches, my nipples have become increasingly sensitive (sometimes so much so that it hurts for them to be touched) and my breasts feel heavy today. I've been bloating and everything and I mean EVERYTHING I eat makes me feel sick. I'm hungry all the time but I can't stand the thought of food sometimes and when I do eat I just feel gross afterwords. Nauseous and tired. I've had hot flashes and I start sweating for no reason, even if I'm not doing anything. My body temperature jumps around because of these hot flashes. I get hot and then cold. At first I thought it was flu symptoms but now I'm not so sure.

About five or six days ago I had some light pink spotting after I used the bathroom and my vaginal discharge has increased. Plus I have to go to the bathroom much more frequently than usual.

I'm terrified and unsure. I want to be pregnant more than anything in the world right now. My fiancé thinks I'm pregnant. He's been telling me that for the past few days. He seems so sure and I wish I could be too. But each time I take a test and it's negative I feel heartbroken. However many of the symptoms I've had this time are ones I've never had before so I am hopeful. I just don't know if I should be.

Anything you have to say will be much appreciated and I'm interested in hearing what you all think.

Thank you,
~Arra

You might be pregnant. You might also be trying to convince yourself you are pregnant.

Concerning ovulation - here is an ovulation calendar: Ovulation Calendar

You know that the only proof positive is a blood test or a HPT.

I would be amazed if you had all of these pregnancy symptoms this early, when you haven't missed a period, but I suppose anything is possible.

I feel the same way about the symptoms happening so early and the only way I could understand it is that I've always been over sensitive to everything that goes on with my body. I have to wait a bit longer to take the pregnancy test and I thought I might be trying to convince myself I was pregnant but that was before I looked up symptoms of pregnancy when my fiancé said that I was.

Thank you for your comment.

Don't you hate it when men tell you what's going on with your body?

Come back and let us know how the test comes out, okay?

Lots of people have been in your situation, some happily, some not.

The only way to know is a HPT. Brown blood is old blood.

If this continues I would certainly speak with a Physician.
