Is bloating a symptom of pregnancy a week before expecting period, has anyone had bloating this early?
i fell pregnant with my son straight after coming off the pill. it has been 2 and a half years and we have just started trying again. I still have 4 days till im due for my period and Im begining to think i am pregnant cause i have been very bloated for the past week and particularly after eating and uncomfortable when sitting. Is bloating a symptom this early? I have done few home tests but they were all negative. I Know i still could be pregnant but wouldnt one of the tests been positive if i was. I didnt do a pregnancy test till 2 weeks late with last one cause i didnt expect to get pregnant so quickly, but am very anxious this time.
You could be pregnant OR your body could be prepping for your next period.
Home pregnancy tests aren’t really accurate until the first day your next scheduled period is due to arrive. Any sooner and chances will be that the pregnancy hormone levels won’t be high enough for a clear and accurate reading.
Use first-morning urine, because that’s when the hGC levels are at their highest (because you haven’t been drinking while you’re asleep, so the urine isn’t diluted). If you get a negative result but your period is late or doesn’t arrive, wait a few days and retest, or schedule an appointment with your doctor for a blood test, because some women never exhibit a high enough hGC level in their urine to read for a positive result.
i get bloated 2 weeks before mine.
I feel the same way and am also TTC. It will be #1 for me. I don’t know if this is a symptom, but if it is congratulations! I have also read though, that along with becoming very anxious it leads to imagining symptoms that aren’t really there. I hope this is not the case! BABY DUST!
It could be a sign that you are pregnant. But in my case, I had a lot of uncomfortability, and needless to say, it didn’t work out. Two years later, I had a smooth pregnancy and gave birth to my second. Best of luck.
