I have a TMI question

[statlerwaldorf]

I know I said I was doing better about not freaking out over every last symptom, but I spoke too soon.

Do you think hemorrhoids could be an early pregnancy sign? I got them for the first time during the second and third trimesters with DD. They went away after I gave birth and I just got my first one in over 3.5 years. I'm 8 dpo.

Huh. I really have no clue, but if they are something you associated with your last pregnancy, perhaps they are a symptom for YOU, if that makes sense. Are you having trouble, you know, going to the bathroom that might have caused them to reoccur?? Any other symptoms reminiscent of your first pregnancy?

[blindyswife]

Interesting! My initial reaction would be to think that they are from being plugged up due to prenatals. But if that hasn't been an issue, who knows. Nothing would surprise me.

[statlerwaldorf]

No, I haven't been irregular or noticed any other GI issues.

[winecheery]

No clue then! But I hope it's because of an upcoming bfp, because otherwise that just sucks!

[statlerwaldorf]

The only symptom I had with DD during the 2WW was not having the normal AF signs, but I don't usually get them yet. I didn't have much of an appetite today, but I also had a stew cooking all day and I don't really like the smell of beef.

I can't imagine that an implanting egg or hormones would cause something that, well, physical.. but who knows.

I have never heard of this.. and 8dpo would be really quick to have such a reaction. FX for you though!

Not sure this is a symptom but FX!
