Frequent Urination--super early sign? « Back to Group Discussions

[averil rose]

I am only 10 dpo (I think) and already peeing like crazy. Is this an early sign for anyone else here? 

I tested positive yesterday, I am just trying to figure out how far along I might be since this was a very long cycle.

It can be, but everyone's different.

Welcome to the club and congrats!

You can post your info in the welcome thread so we can start to get to know you:

Have a happy and healthy pregnancy! 

ETA: It can also be a sign of a UTI, so you might want to get tested for that, HTHs!

Thanks. :) My UTI sign is pain in my kidneys, so I am pretty sure it's not that. Mostly I was just looking for anecdotal evidence that increased urination can begin as early as 7-10 dpo. 

I found this on a medical website, so it does help confirm for me that I ovulated when I thought I did:

"Urinating more often is one of the very early signs of pregnancy. Many women experience more frequent urination even before a missed period, usually from about 7-12 days after the temperature rise at ovulation. The changes in hormone levels produced by implantation of the embryo, especially the hormone "human chorionic gonadotropin" (hCG), cause more frequent urination."

Just wanted to pop in and say that frequent urination early on can also be caused by a tipped uterus, which is not problematic at all but just a uterus at a different angle in the body so it puts pressure on the bladder a lot earlier in pregnancy than typical.
