The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[babyowl]

Still very early days for me but:

1) slight bleeding which I think was implantation
2) felt really sick a few days after this
3) really tired and hungry
4) my hair went wild! Really shiny and a bit paler, to the point where students in my class were asking if I'd dyed it
5) woke up feeling hot and clammy like during period-this is what made me test

And overall, I just knew. Had a weird feeling about it and was just convinced.

Oh forgot a couple! Darker nipples, cramping and the smell of strawberry tea in one of our cupboards turned my stomach. Despite being veggie, I'm also craving meat!

Same here! I'm about 4dpo as well, feel so flushed this evening and like I have a head cold. Could be nothing but I've had some other symptoms too like heavier CM. I didn't have any symptoms with my son either, loooads back in Sept/oct when I was pregnant for 7 weeks though, this time I feel similar to that so fingers crossed!

Hello ladies,
Thought it may be helpful for someone here for me to put what ive been experiencing. Im 5 weeks now and found out I was pregnant when I was 4 weeks.

- Biggest one of all that made me test, I just didnt feel right. There was something in me telling me something was different. More of a mental thing that a symptom per se' though.

- Sore Boobies: They are just so tender, and my nipples, I want to cry whenever I touch them!

- Boobies growing: Im a 38 E as it is, I dont need bigger chesticles, but alas, they are growing away!

- Light Cramping: Having very light cramps, like the beginning of AF but not as severe nor as painful. More...annoying, yeah thats probably the right word for em'.

- Feeling sick: Ive been sick 3 times so far, all in the middle of the night. Feeling sicky constantly though, just not actually being sick.

- Metal-like taste in my mouth: Self explanatory really, tastes like crap!

- Bloating: This was one of the first thing that made me stop and think hmm...something isnt right. Im a big lass anyways, but my tummy is noticably bloated, massively uncomfortable lol

- Appitite going crazy: I want to eat everything, litterally everything in the house. Im starving 90% of the time lol

And thats the lot for now, hopefully this helps a touch and gives you ladies something to look for xxx

I want my story to give HOPE to all of you early POASers!!!

This is my second pregnancy, and the exact same thing happened both times. I don't know what dpo I was either time. I check cp/cm, but I don't chart temps or use opks. I am pretty regular with 29 day cycles... with a fluke cycle every once in awhile. This cycle, the new things I did were:

*Took prenatal vitamins every day
*BDed every other night (just about): CD 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24
*Got fresh air EVERY day (forced myself out for a walk or something...) I feel it helped keep me calm

AF was due Thursday. I had very light brown/pink spotting (only when I wiped). I had AF cramps. The "whole uterus" kind. Not just tugs and pulls (which led me to believe I was out). Because the spotting looked like the IB I had with my first pregnancy I tested Thursday night (when AF was due). The next morning I woke up and when I wiped there was red. It even dripped into the toilet. And when I showered a few minutes later, I watched some red go down the drain. I was very emotional ALL day.... AF was here and I was out another cycle. Put a tampon in and went about my day. Every time I changed my tampon though, there was barely anything on it!!!!

Saturday (2 days after AF was due). I had no more bleeding and very noticeable symptoms:
*Extra saliva/slight metal taste
*Nipples were darker
*Every smell (even husbands cooking) made me want to vomit

All of these things made me test again Saturday night (CD 31) and get my

SO remember.... you can get a BFP AFTER when you think AF is due and get BFN's all the way leading up to it!!!!! Also, when you see the first signs of AF, don't count yourself out yet!!!!

I've had similar symptoms but BFN when I tested yesterday evening. AF was due on 28th but appeared early Friday morning. It was sketchy brown and red with no usual AF cramps mainly backache and a little heavier Saturday with side cramps for a few hours. Sunday mainly light pink spotting when wiped. So I'm gonna test tomorrow and see. Thanks for sharing!
