i had intercourse with my boyfriend on nov 1, apparently, i had light bleeding with some clots when i pee from nov3 to nov10. and my regular menstrual cycle is 7 days. but im irregular. i drenched myself with softdrinks right after we had sex and everyday after that, coz there was some rumors that it can kill sperm. then after two weeks i always had nausea. they said that it could be possible that ive gotten acidic. if what i had on nov3 was my period, then i am now 15 days late for a 28 day cycle. i had a test last night and its neg. i also had this morning and its still neg. i dont know what to believe in coz i still feel nausea.

i am also about 4 days late for my period, maybe even a little later than that. and have had the diarrhea symptoms, and constipation. iam also having cramps on and off. usually they are worse. I get nauseated laying on my stomach and throught the day. i took a preg test and it came out neg. my friend told me that it could be too early to detect the phg.

OK so I am trying to figure out this stuff going on...tonight was Christmas...my parents and I were driving around looking at the lights and on the way home I felt nauseous...got to their house and threw up...since then I have had this diarreah described here...I had never heard of this being a sign of pregnancy..but what if? I am hoping to be..we JUST decided to start trying..but I am wondering if it happened a few days before we decided hahaha...ohhhhh guess I just wanted to tell my little story...the last post before this made me very hopeful...who ever hopes for nausea and 3 days of diarreah ahhaha..I know not everyone is the same..I guess this is just my Christmas wish..

I have been experiencing period-like cramps/aches in my lower abdomen for 3-4 days now. On top of that, I've had loose stool that is now diarreah. If I am pregant, I conceived right after my last period (which in itself is weird), but I don't think I can test until I actually miss. Has anyone else gone through this?

Well, i am just 2 days away from AF so i am really hoping she doesn't show! I had diarrhea one day, and then the next day i felt constipated, i could barely use the bathroom. It hurts to sleep on my stomach sometimes cause of my boobs. Im hoping, ill be preggers, but i don't know. Everyone hope for me

Period like cramps could be a sign of pregnancy, but could just be a sign your period is coming. I've NEVER seen anywhere that diarrhea is an early symptom of pregnancy - if anything it is constipation that is more likely due to the increased progesterone and hcg being secreted. These two pregnancy hormones can cause constipation as they serve to slow down bowel functions to provide maximum absorption time of vitamins and nutrients and this symptom will typically worsen as the pregnancy progresses.
