Possible symptoms??

I went running this morning with the dog and was dying!! My heart was racing, my breath was ragged and I was exhausted. I usually go 3 miles and it's really easy for me. Today, though, I made it a mile, walked another mile and then walked/ran the last mile. The weather was warm but not as warm as it has been. Now, I feel like I just ran a marathon, I'm that tired.

I haven't felt like that running since, well, the last time I was pregnant.

My ticker says I'm 5 DPO, but I actually am 7 DPO. It is probably still too early to tell on this one.

Not sure hun but I hope it is a sign and you get a BFP soon

Of course I had to run and test.... and not even with FMU. And, I am probably about 7 DPO. So, what did I get? A BFN. Why don't we ever learn?

Then, I had to spend an hour reading about how people got BFNs early and got a BFP later. Ever cycle, I just think I can "beat" the 2WW. haha.

Hope you get your BFP - Good luck!

Liz, this sounds like a possible symptom to me. I have heard you get out of breath much much faster when pg (even in early pregnancy so its not just the extra weight). Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Yeah, it's definitely a symptom (confirmed by my runner friends who have had kids too). Apparently, your blood volume increases almost immediately when you are pregnant which causes the symptoms.

haha liz i'm right there with ya on trying to "beat the tww"

I defintely think you run out of breath faster when pregnant. I got pregnant at the end of July and it was so hot i got out of breath just walking outside to my car!!

I hope this is a good sign for you!
