Has anyone had diarrhea as a pregnancy symptom? That is very unusual for me and the past two mornings I have had it. (not very bad though but it is not ordinary). My period should be here around friday or the weekend. Just asking...Thanks and hoping. :-)

My last 2 cycles have been very light and incredibly painful and I have had boughts of the runs with it. But I have been told I have ibs (no tests, justa drs hunch .. Or in other words they could not be bothered to find out why I was having these pains in teh first place) and maybe the changing levels of hormones do something to your gut.

The extra progesterone in your body around the time of your period causes loose bowel movements

That's happened to me before...So this is a little embarrassing but...Right around my period time or during I always eat out at taco bell and that seems to do the trick of not having diareah... I love taco bell soo no loss there...I don't really know if that's what helps the diareah or not, but it's an excuse to get my hubby to take me to taco bell... :p

Thanks for all the responses! The diarrhea is not normal for me though around my period. I have just had in the morning for the past two days and then i'm fine the rest of the day! I guess it's just all in my head...Haha.
No i'm not on prenatal vitamins yet.
Baby dust needed here!!!
Thanks again all!

Even before getting pregnant? How about the women's one a day multi vitamin brand? I do have those and take them on occasion. I can't get myself into a routine but I know I will have to when I get a positive. Thanks!

Aye but get mutis with folic acid in it alot of. Thats what helps a baby when their in the womb. And its good to take when you are trying to conceive. Also I have a note about taco bell... My first pg I loved taco bell every night I was senting my bf to go get it. But after I had her it upset my stomach alot. I don't eat taco bell much any more maybe 1-2 a year.

Thorwing baby dust your way. Good luck hun...

Hi pooh bear,

well i've had what u had mentioned for the last 2 days also. I get it in the morning and it was gone for the rest of the day. I woke up the other day and my back and arse was absolutely aching. I don't what from, my mum said prob from the exercising, but I haven't been doing anything out of the ordinary.

Again this morning I had it again and felt like I was going to get sick aswell. I don't know whether I am coming down with something or not!!! I was on my way out the door last nite to get a preg test until my bf got a call from his mother saying his nanny had died. God bless her. While I was at the hospital we were standing a very long time and my back was aching so bad. And the other night I kept getting wierd pains in my stomach, even during the night it was quite sore but went when I laid on my side.

Well, i'm pregnant, had diarrhoar (however you spell it) and worked out that it was the fresh orange juice that was doing it.

The other possibility is that you are really wound up and nervous about the posibility of your period starting.

**baby dust** for sadey and poohbear....

Thanks so much everyone! Today is day 32 for me and still no period. As i've posted before, my periods are irregular so it's due any day now. I think i'm going to go buy a first response pregnancy test. The past two months i've had minor cramps about a week before my period and haven't had that this month. Also, the bottom part of my breasts hurt to touch. Maybe it's all in my head but this is just an exciting time!

Good luck sadey!

Well another negative....I don't know how much more of this I can take. It really bums me out month after month of getting a negative. I've only been trying for a few months. I don't know how those of you who have been trying for years can take it.
Good luck to all of you. I guess i'll keep trying... :cry:

Question? Ive had diarrhea for at least...Four weeks? Like daily, which is completely out of the ordinary for me. Last monday I had brown/red spotting on my panties. I have unprotected sex at leastonce a week. Does any of this mean anything? And my boyfriend thinks myboobs are getting bigger, but they dont hurt..
