Is this normal?

Okay, I just got my BFP yesterday at 13 dpo. I have been having achy pains in my lower back on both sides pretty much only when standing. I also have been having these random shooting pains going through my vagina. I also have the period feeling in my lower abdomen, the bloating and pressure. It feels like I'm on my period except there isn't any cramping or blood. The back pain and the shooting pain in my vagina come and go, but the period feeling is constant. Is all this pretty much normal this early into the pregnancy? Thanks!!

very very very normal lol

i have felt like af is just around the corner for over a week now... am 19 dpo and got my bfp at 12 dpo

it will likely last quite a number of weeks, off and on... but in the end its so worth putting up with!

one of my favorite ways to make it feel better is a nice warm (not hot!) bath.

that is a perfectly normal worry too!

ive had one miscarriage and two healthy babies... i still worry about it so much! (and probably a bit longer than most women do... as mine was a second trimester loss)

Totally normal. Felt it in the early weeks with both pregnancies. Congratulations on your BFP!

I'm 5 1/2 weeks and I've felt just like that for the past 2 weeks. I've got a friend who is 15 weeks and she feels cramping still sometimes.

Here is my test at 17dpo . It is a $tree test. They keep getting darker so I'm happy. I haven't really been feeling any symptoms the past few days though. Just some mild bloating and pressure under belly every now and then.

if you are 17dpo you still have a while until most pregnancy symptoms will show up

in addition, you could be one of the lucky ones to never get a symptom until the baby starts kicking!

I'm one of em that is hoping for some nausea and the other symptoms. I don't want them bad just enough to know they are there. My DH keeps telling me he is going to celebrate when I start having morning sickness. We are both just so excited and looking forward to a good first pregnancy!
