Pregnancy Symptoms?

[KelliK]

I feel like a dork asking this, but...you're all so nice and helpful. I'm trying to get some information on the early symptoms of pregnancy. I'm trying to get pregnant and could possibly be -- or I'm crazy and it's just PMS! If I were pregnant, it'd only be two weeks or so -- am I nuts to think I could have symptoms already???? It seems especially hard to know when one of the main symptoms is urinating frequently and thanks to IC, I do that anyway. My breasts are tender, I have slight cramping, I'm slight nausous (but not throwing up or anything), and I'm tired, but then again I'm always tired. I just took a preg. test, which I know is silly because it's so early, but it actually came back positive. I take Macrodantin on a regular basis because of UTIs; could that have given me a false positive?
Questions, questions....any suggestions/comments/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

P.S. And what is the consensus on IC during pregnancy -- did it get worse or better for you while you were pregnant?

I have 2 kids and when I got pregnant both times I got the signs right away. I just felt "different". A little nauseous and tired right from the start.

My IC actually got alot better during pregnancy. It was a good time for me.

Do the test again after your period is due, take your vitamins and hang in!

Good luck! :thumbsup:

KelliK,
YAY!!! I'd also say it's a go!!;) When I went for my first ob visit I said I took a home test and it came back positive.....The ob replied by saying a positive is always a positive.......and sometimes a negative can be a positive too. So if it's + then I'd be thinking about nursery colors and prenatal vitamins!!:D

My IC was tolerable during my pregnancy. I had two uti's and lots of pottying breaks. Hope you get the "offical" results soon! Let us know!
Big hugs to you!

Congrats Kelli! I hadn't been diagnosed with my IC when I was pregnant but everything else(ie endo) went into remission during my pregnancy. Keep us updated and Happy Mother's Day!
