Early pregnancy symptoms? UPDATE - BFP?!?!

Forums New posts
Hopefully you get your BFP. I got pregnant my first try with my DH. =]
 
Thanks so much, ladies!!!! The TWW is really tough. Hard to think about anything else!!
 
Did anyone feel extremely hungry very early on? I'm 6 dpo and for the past two days I've been STARVING.

I had a bowl of Cheerios this morning along with a cup of half caff coffee and a full glass of water. This was at 7:00. I got to work at 8:30 and was really hungry but I'm trying not to feed into it too much so I waited until about 9:30 and had a cereal bar. By the time 11:00 rolled around, STARVING again!!! I haven't eaten anything yet since my cereal bar and I'm quite off balance and light headed. I want to try to wait another half hour (it will be 12 noon here). But it's going to be tough. AF isn't due for another 8 days so I don't think it's the usual PMS hunger. And last night and the night before I had hunger headaches shortly before bed. I'm insatiable!!

I'm also experiencing some hot flashes, and I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining those bc I'll break into a sweat!!
 
I got my blazing positive pregnancy test around 16dpo. It was actually unplanned (for a first... before we WERE trying, go figure lol) About 4 days before that I noticed my boobs were super swollen and weren't getting better. Usually they do get swollen a day or two before my period but then get better as soon as I start. I had cramps starting around 13 dpo.. mild but had them through out the day all day every day until I was about 4 1/2-5 weeks pregnant. (swore I was starting my period) Now I just get waves of very mild cramping maybe 1 or 2 times a day. (uterus stretching?) I was also very hungry all a sudden and not bloated... (wierd for be because I'm always bloated up until I start) I was peeing so much I developed a UTI (sorry tmi) I knew something was up... so I took a test a sure enough PREGNANT. Went a got a blood test that afternoon and they confirmed it. Now I am in the 6 week mark and have had nausea every day since 5 weeks 6 days :(. But I'm not peeing as much anymore.. for now atleast. Hope that helped a little. Oh and a few mild headaches here and there. :)
 
From about 6dpo I ate and ate and ate....For the past couple of days though I really don't want to eat anything - apart from fruit, I made my OH go out at 8pm to get me a load of nectarines last night...I really wanted water melon but they're out of season :dohh:

Dizziness was also (and still is) one of my main symptoms, as for the hot flashes? Yeah, check on that as well!

Good luck, it all sounds VERY promising! :hugs:

It is very hard! Just try to relax.... we TRIED for 4 months (mind you we had unprotected sex for 2 years, nothing)... gave up bc we got engaged and thought we should definitely wait and then wallaaa! A magical positive pregnancy test :). I really do think stressing out has an effect on trying to get pregnant. Good luck to you and I know you will get your BFP soon!!! I never thought it would happen for me. :winkwink:
 
Hey! Just wanted to say good luck and hope to see you soon over here x
 
Thanks to all of you - I read through every one of them and I so appreciate your taking the time to respond to me. :)

I am sooo hoping to get a BFP!!! I will take my first test this weekend at either 10 or 11 dpo, though I'm not expecting anything. Probably one Saturday, one Monday, one Wednesday (AF is due Wednesday), and see if anything shows up yet.

I'm sorry to hear about your nausea!!! I'm afraid that will be a problem for me because I actually can't even go on BC pills because they make me vomit!!! I'm very sensitive to hormones and have a sensitive stomach to boot. But I will welcome it with open arms if it means BFP - until a week or two and then I'll probably tire of the nausea veryyyyy quickly. Lol.

I think I've actually been quite calm throughout this process... It's only our first month TTC but I'm a pretty impatient person lol. DH suggested we get OPKs and everything but I told him no - I wanted it to be as laid back as possible. So we have been BDing every other night since CD4 lol!! And I pretty much know when I ovulate because I get ovulation pains/aches plus other symptoms, so we also BDed every day for the three days surrounding O. I'm just really eager to test now!!

I read the awesome thread you started in the TWW so I'm pretty familiar with some of the symptoms you had ;). Interesting that I seem to be having similar symptoms to yours. I don't know, I swear I just feel... different. The hunger is most out of control, as is the peeing and the lightheadedness. We will see!!!!
 
Only another 4 days before you get the chance to see a bfp!

I'm actually quite excited for you as I know what I like when I got mine lol!

Get yourself introduced on that thread and I'll add you to the list :D
 
Ahhh best wishes for you! Let us know :) I really hope you are!
This is our 1st month TTC also..I had no idea I'd be so impatient and want it to happen NOW. When we first decided to start I thought ok I'll stay calm and we'll just go with the flow....Nope!! :dohh: That didn't happen!!
CD 31 today and I've already POAS probably 5 or 6 times this month already..LOL
All BFN but no sign of AF either so one better get here and get here soon!!
 
To be honest last month I was so sure I was PG, I really FELT PG, I had lots of cramps and was very aware of my womb and I couldn't stop eating fried egg sandwiches, I even got a bfp using breastmilk, although this can be unreliable. However, AF came (unless it was a very early miscarriage which has crossed my mind).

This month I got my BFP (yay!). I'm now four weeks and the only things that made me think I could be pregnant were my lack of PMT as AF time approached, along with my breastmilk production dropping suddenly, also since the BFP I've had tiredness that I just haven't been able to cope with (I fell asleep three times while trying to text my mother to ask her to take care of LO so that I could go to sleep :lol:) Also, today I've had little twinges in my abdomen.

I really hope this is your month. Good luck.
