Am I Pregnant?

Hi Ladies, I need your advice.

My last period was 8/20 through 8/27. I had weird bleeding on 9/5 in the evening that lasted for about an hour, then again on 9/7 same thing. No pain very mild bleeding. Then I started to get pain in my ovaries. And lower back. Nausea, tender breasts more than on a period; and I am so exhausted (constantly). I still have these symptoms. Also I have horrible heartburn almost daily. (something I never really had often before). Today I am dry heaving my guts out and I have milky white discharge. The over the counter pregnancy tests are showing up negative, but the doctor said it would be too early to tell right now. Ultrasound also too early to tell; but there is a small/normally occurring cyst on my right ovary. According to the doc it shouldn

Those are classic presentations of pregnancy symptoms. The mild bleeding could be implantation spotting. Nausea that early is not uncommon, tender breasts were one of my first signs, fatigue can set in just as soon as implantation occurs.

The timing is feasible. ON AVERAGE, you ovulate around 14 days after the first day of your menstrual cycle. But it can easily be anywhere between 11 and 17 days (and many people are outside of that range as well). If the start of your LMP was 8/20, you may have ovulated as early as 8/31. If you had sex in the few days before or up to ovulation, you could have gotten pregnant that day. Then implantation would occur within a day or two of 9/6. So, if you tend to have shorter cycles, or if you know that you tend to ovulate early, the timing works out just right.

Keep testing, and in the meantime, take a prenatal vitamin (I took Rainbow Light), leave off the wine and coffee/black tea, and find a way to start getting more rest even if it means leaving things undone. (And you can try a number of different things for the throwing up - the same thing does not work for everyone. Chewing on fennel seeds may help for heartburn, as does avoiding cold beverages/foods in favor of body temperature or hot. Ginger, regular small meals, and plenty of protein may help the nausea. Oh, and I'm totally not biased, but prenatal yoga rocks. (I teach it. ;) ).)

Sounds like it to me. And even sterilization methods have a failure rate.

I hope you are pregnant too! ;):D

Oh Salax--it sounds like it to me too! :D Thinking way back, I felt very similar when I was first expecting. The spotting early on like that tends to run in my family.

Keep us posted, and best of luck!!

      Canker sores

      i used to get cold sores frequently before I went gluten free. Then I only got them when stressed. Then I cured my gut dysbiosis, and haven't had one in 20 years.

      Pear Bread

      To me, this bread is pretty special. The first time I tried adapting it I used a commercial gluten-free flour blend and it was good, but when I experimented using individual flours I tried the almond flour and it took it from good to special. I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess...

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      It's kind of funny that before my celiac diagnosis I did a lot more "functional eating" where I just needed a meal and wasn't so worried about how interesting/delicious it was, just needed to eat something. After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving...

I add walnuts or pecans to a lot of my desert bread recipes but I haven't tried nuts with this one. I would guess that adding either of them would result in the whole being less than the sum of the parts because the almond and other nut flavors would be competing. I wouldn't want to add almonds because of the texture. But you never know until you try. Have not tried cinnamon in this recipe. I imagine it would work. As I modified this recipe from the original, I reduced the sugar. The posted recipe is what I currently use. You are right that the pears bring a little sweetness to it.

After my diagnosis I've become a dedicated cook and I am very tuned into flavor and novelty. In answer to your question, I find the recipe very forgiving for trying add-ins. I've supplemented the greens with green onions, bell pepper (any color), celery leaves and stalks, and fresh parsley. Sometimes I throw in pepitas (pumpkin seeds), craisins, walnuts and/or sunflower seeds. One thing I tried that didn't really work was currants. I think that maybe it's because they are too small and too sweet. I haven't experimented with cheeses beyond the 2 in the recipe. I would guess that grated hard cheeses would work, medium hard cheeses (like swiss or cheddar) might work, and soft cheeses would not.

      Pear Bread

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really nice. Pear bread feels like one of those things that would be soft and a little sweet without being too heavy. I like the idea of using fruit like that instead of just relying on sugar. It probably makes it feel more fresh and homemade. Have you tried adding anything like cinnamon or nuts to it, or do you keep it simple?

      Sorghum, Kale and Roasted Cherry Tomato Salad

      By Harris · Posted

      That actually sounds really good, I wouldn’t have thought to mix sorghum with kale but it makes sense. The roasted cherry tomatoes probably bring a nice bit of sweetness to balance everything out. I’ve been trying to find more simple gluten-free meals that don’t feel boring, and this feels like something you could make ahead and just keep eating through the week. Did you add anything else to it, like nuts or cheese, or keep it pretty simple?
