CloudyDay

I haven't been having any major symptoms today. But, I'm having all kinds of very faint symptoms that I'm SURE are a fiction of my imagination! Anyway, here's the list for this afternoon:

- bbs got very brief (seconds long) twinges of soreness a few times today
- still got the pullin' goin' on down there but it feels more like a muscle pull now, and while it's still stronger on the right, it's also faintly there on the left
- still getting threads of sticky CM (thin threads) with every wipe
- one one-second passing of nausea
- fatigued

ARGH... again, these could be caused by anything! Anyway, gotta go out for a nice Friday night dinner! Will be back after I stuff myself!!

Okay, I have had no other exciting symptoms tonight but THAT PULLING SENSATION has become much stronger! I really need to know if this is a pregnancy symptom or just a muscle pull (it got stronger tonight after I went for a stroll then mowed the lawn with a push mower). I'm also soo curious as to what it is, if it's not a muscle pull. I scoured the internet and BnB threads for more info but I'm not quite satisfied. Some suggest it may be the uterus stretching but I'm not convinced that the uterus would begin stretching so early.

Anyway, I just HAD to start a thread to ask for input about this! Pulling Sensation @ 8 DPO: What's causing it?

There is a hormone Relaxin that is secreted in pg that helps your pelvis change shape and move apart ready for your uterus to grow...but it also has the effect of making you prone to pulling muscles etc as everything starts to relax!!

SO pulling a muscle is also a PG sign!

Nat, you really are like sunshine... so bright, warm and ya just make people feel great! And, I LOOOVE that you're brimming full of knowledge... you're a walking encyclopedia, you!

Did you know that the body secretes PLASMIN to stop the menstrual blood clotting! But if you AF is really heavy there may not be enough PLASMIN secreted to stop all the clotting!

Just another FYI!

We are building up our encyclopedia of TTC!!!!

Some great symptoms there Cloudy! I think it's looking really good for you hunnybun! I have been having those 1-2 second nausea bouts too and my boobs still feel like they've been tweaked!

Cloudy, everything is looking good for you this month! I've heard of that 'pulling' sensation as a major sign of early pregnancy!

That's an interesting factoid! I've been having lighter than usual AFs for the last few cycles so I guess my body's been secreting a lot of plasmin.
