Hi all,

My husband and are trying to conceive, and I am sure I am having a wacko cycle, but I have never experienced anything like this before. I am due to start my cycle on May 5, and on April 26, I started spotting, light pink and then seems to get a little heavier, but have not needed a pad. But, I have noticed my band has been tighter than normal. I have also been having lots of heartburn. So, I was wondering if anyone experienced this prior to finding out you were pregnant.

Thank you :smile:

I'm eight weeks and I just noticing that my band seems a little tighter this week. I didn't notice a difference at all in the beginning. Have you tested???

I was having some pains after I ate, and due for my period. I took a test and it was positive. I had 3.5ccs, and got 1cc removed, and now I feel better. So I guess it was pregnancy making me feel tight, and now I had an unfill, I dont feel restricted at all (but still eating less than pre-surgery).

I took two of the dollar general 5 day early pregnancy tests and both of them gave me a very, very faint line. But then, when I tested earlier yesterday, it was even more faint. When I took the tests, I was 11 days past ovulation and 12 days past ovulation. I am taking another in the a.m. at 13 days past and see what happens. Strange thing, I spotted from 7 DPO to 11 DPO, and now I am not spotting. So, I don't know what's going on. I am not "technically" due to start my period until May 5th. So, I have no clue. Congrats to you on your bun in the oven :thumbup:)

Congrats to you!! :thumbup:) I have almost 6 cc in my band, but I know sometimes my band gets tighter around cycle time, anyway. I've also got some heartburn going on too.

Just wanted to come on and say, I experienced a chemical pregnancy. So, I was, in fact, pregnant, but for whatever reason, it just didn't stay in there. :thumbup: I have to go and have my progesterone levels checked this month on the 21st day of my cycle. So, hopefully, this month will be better.

Sorry to hear about your loss, I wish you all the best for next month! It does show the band is affected in early pregnancy for some of us, since I wasnt the only one. I really hope youre successful soon!!

Hi ladies. My husband and I are also trying to conceive. Just want to wish everyone the best of luck! Paulette, sorry for the loss.

Im 20 weeks.. Some days I can eat normal and some days my band feels really tight. I have no clue why

Yes! for 7-10 days before I got a positive pregnancy test, I was noticeably tighter (which really made me believe that I was indeed preggo!). I actually PB'ed twice which I hadn't done in nearly a year. Good luck with things!
