Question

TMI Warning! Is Diarrhea a symptom?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I'm new. Strangely, I've had diarrhea or loose stools for several days. I'm only 6dpo, but I've never had this before. I have no other symptoms that could even be considered viral. Just thought it was odd that every time I eat within an hour I have to use the restroom. In every other way, I feel great other than getting tired more frequently.

Unless you're off on your dpo, it isn't pregnancy related bc it is too early. If an egg was fertilized, it has either just started implantation or hasn't even started, as 9 dpo is avg. High progesterone levels can cause diarrhea, so it could be that. If so, that's a great sign bc you need strong progesterone levels to maintain a pregnancy. I did experience loose stools during pregnancy, however, it didn't start until several weeks into the pregnancy. I've also had it in nonpregnant cycles as well, which means it is a side effect of progesterone, not hcg.

With my first pregnancy I experienced loose BM's for a few days, and they were more frequent. So in my opinion, yes, it is an early symptom. I experienced these symptoms before the thought of possibly being pregnant even crossed my mind! It was my very first symptom.

I have 2 children and every pregnancy I experienced loose BM's as well as I am now while TTC baby #3. So I am 3 DPO, and have been cramping since before O. And it is possible to be pregnant. Diarrhea and Cramping and fatigue are considered very early signs of pregnancy.
