So, I’m just sitting here wondering... I really don't want to go through the hassle of taking a test before my period actually arrives—if it even does—but I should have an answer by May 22nd. It feels a bit weird, though, having all these symptoms popping up a full two weeks before my cycle starts. Usually, my PMS is practically non-existent... maybe just some slight soreness in my breasts, nothing crazy. I did happen to read somewhere that pregnant women deal with swelling in their hands and feet, but typically that doesn't kick in until closer to the third trimester. Now I'm starting to wonder if this is all just my kidneys acting up...
Ugh, here comes another disappointment, I can feel it..😳
Here’s another weird one for the group... most people will probably look at me sideways for this, but it’s just the truth—I have a mobile uterus. Sometimes it sits upright, other times it tilts left, then right, just wandering around in there. So, given all these symptoms, I was showering yesterday and happened to feel it from the inside—since it's been leaning heavily to the left lately—and it felt incredibly hard. Honestly, at first, I thought I was just feeling a stray toy or something... Does anyone else deal with this? Like, does anyone actually know if a uterus can get that firm? God, what a ridiculous question to ask...
Hey ladies, I’m new here—actually, this is my first time ever posting anything on this board. I can already hear the comments rolling in: "Oh great, here comes another one with a silly question"... but... anyway. So, my partner and I have been trying for a baby for about six months now, and nothing has happened yet. But lately, I’ve been feeling some really strange symptoms... My last period started on April 24th, which would mean my next one should show up around May 22nd, since my cycle is usually pretty predictable. My period ended on April 29th, and we were having sex every single day from then until May 10th. Well, right after ovulation—assuming that happened 14 days before my next period—the very next day, my breasts started hurting like crazy (usually they just ache a week before my period starts), and they stayed sore and swollen for about 5 or 6 days. They’ve calmed down a bit now, but my hands have been so swollen... I can tell because of my rings, which usually slide right off my fingers, but now I can't even budge them. Plus there's this pressure in my lower abdomen, and some light nausea in my chest area. Cigarettes seem okay with me sometimes, but not always. And I've been eating like there's no tomorrow. Oh, and I'm constantly exhausted, though honestly, I'm always tired anyway...
I'm not looking to go out and buy a test before my period is actually late; I'm just curious what you all think, and if anyone else dealt with similar symptoms—especially that hand swelling.
Thanks everyone...
