Tell me if I’m going mad. Possibly 5/6dpo

Hi,

So for the last few days I have been super bloated. My bowl movements have never been too frequent but the last few times I’ve been they have been quite painful. Also I had bleeding gums this morning when brushing which is not something that usually happens.

Too early or possible symptoms? X

The bowel problems may be down to the after effects of EC and medication.. I have heard that bleeding gums can be a sign of pregnancy though so good luck xx

I’m not currently going through any treatment or on any medication x

Ah ok, didn’t realise. Good luck though xx

Hi kirstyblue. If it continues, perhaps see your GP. Sounds more like some sort of irritable bowel problem. Bleeding gums may need a visit to your dentist?? Maybe a gum problem. Far too early to have symptoms of pregnancy, if that's what you are looking out for. If you are trying for a baby, I wish yopu every success. Diane
