Early Pregnancy Symptoms?

I'm sure that early pregnancy symptoms differ greatly among women, but I was wondering if any of you who have gotten pregnant after diagnosis have noticed or found any research on early pregnancy symptoms in celiacs--are there any discernible patterns to expect except that "everyone's different"?

Sorry if this is TMI. I ovulated 9 days ago and had temporary light brown spotting on day seven--ever since I've been hungrier than normal and more fatigued, and I've had sore breasts. We definitely had some baby-making activity during my fertile window--I never know when I'm going to ovulate since my cycles and fluids are so erratic. DH and I would be thrilled to have a baby on the way, but waiting for the point where I actually can test is killing me, so hearing about other celiacs' early pg symptoms might help to shed some light on this for me.

Hi my husband and I are also trying- I'm in that two week wait period. I ovulated about 5 days ago/ I have never been pregnant before so I wish I could help. I have noticed I am more tired than usual but I have been busy and we are currently in a heat wave so that could make me feel sleepy, but this morning as I was walking into work I noticed sore breasts and my lower back is sore...I am hoping this is a sign. I used to post over on Babycenter but the more I read from people actively trying the more I imagined symptoms and so I am just trying to go everyday and not put too much into anything. They always say when you stop trying you get pregnant. I hope thats true for me. Def let me know :)

Sore breasts unlike before your period. I had that each time I got pregnant. It's a different kind of sore--not the puffy, hurts to take your bra off but tingling type, especially the nipples. Sounds silly to say it but that's what it was.

Pregnancy tests are very sensitive--even the cheapo dollar store ones. If you wait ten days after you think it might have implanted you can try it. I wouldn't recommend this if you feel especially anxious or worried about it as it can be discouraging to have to do it multiple times.

Best wishes for you both.

ETA-the spotting can be the egg releasing or implantation so it's hard to rely on that.

Thanks :) You know the interesting thing- I don't get sore breasts before my period. Currently it is my nipples that are more sore/tender.

Yeah, I usually don't get sore breasts before my period, but this is definitely mostly located in the nipples as well. I'm usually a stomach sleeper, but I just can't sleep that way now because of the discomfort of it. I'm on day 10 of high temperatures and 3 days after potential (?) implantation, so I'm going to wait so as not to be disappointed by results that are just too early. Here's hoping! And thanks for the support.

And good luck to you both! I kept the stick I peed on for a long time until my dh asked why'd I want the stick when I had the kid? :blink::P

I am also waiting those endless 2 weeks to find out whether I am pregnant or not. Because of Celiac and other conditions partly caused by the misdiagnosis of it for 16 years, I am a high risk pregnancy.

During my research, I found a symptom I had not heard of before: "Your nipples may darken in color." I knew this happened later in pregnancy but apparently it can occur before you even miss your period. It also said that this might be harder to see in women who have darker skin tones.

My doctor also warned me about staying out of the heat (the magic number being 102 degrees body temp - I live in Florida so I just can't be outside for more than a few minutes) and never letting your heart rate over 140.

Just know that there are others waiting patiently (lol) with you during this time : )

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
