The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[mommyB]

Well I got my BFP on the 28th of April at 12DPO. Plus I tested at 6pm at night and got a pretty strong positive. I didn't have very many symptoms.

-I had cramping from ovulation to BFP
-extreme tiredness kicked in the second week of the TWW
-and I have to say I was deffinately more moody

I didn't have any implantation bleeding, but I did have a day where I had really intense cramps which I assumed was implantation. But my first clue that I was pregnant was the cramps, because I never cramp. I want to wish all you girls luck, and I hope you all get your BFP's soon

How long before ovulation did you BD?

I'm new to this site, but have been reading your posts for the last few months. My DH and I have been TTC for 11 months now. We've had our share of hopeful months. Last month AF was 4 days late before showing up. This month I'm totally confused with symptoms. AF is due this month on May 5. These are the symptoms I've noticed so far: pinkish coloured CM about a week ago, extreme fatigue when I get home from work for the last few days, my breasts ache, but not sensitive to the touch. The oddest thing of all are the broken blood vessels on both breasts. I've tried to research even if broken blood vessels is a pregnancy symptom. All I've been able to find says that it can happen due to increased blood circulation but I didn't think it would happen so early. Has anyone ever heard of this before?

I've posted this on a couple other threads, but haven't gotten much info... Can anyone help?

I used OPK's (for only 3 days), I got my positive on CD11 and CD12. So that cycle we tried the sperm meets egg plan and we BD on CD8, CD10, CD11, and CD12. And that was it, we missed the last BD that was supposed to be CD14.

Hi all,

So AF was due today and its a no show so far. I've had quite a few symptoms, mega mega sore and veiny breasts and my nipples are permantly hard (tmi), i need to pee urgently like really frequently, nausea and cramping.

Did anyone get like period cramping when AF was due and then still get a BFP?
I've also had this really weird thing where in the mornings my tongue is kinda swollen (i know because my tongue bar feels tight) and my teeth feel really odd anyone else had this or is it totally unrelated?

One last question the internet cheapy tests when do they usually show a BFP from?

Thanks

You know, now that you mention it, my teeth have been feeling slight strange. I'm 7 days late, been getting AF like cramps (not the same iykwim), and my nipples are horribly sensitive. I'm calling the doc tomorrow cause I'm still testing

Morning Ladies

Hope you all had a good weekend.

This is now day 7 - no and a

Really fed up - got really sore back (maybe just lying in bed too long!!) and tired is not the word for it, by the time 2pm comes I'm ready to go back to bed. BB's are huge and hard and still very bloated.

Going to make dr's apt tomorrow

 

[Mistycat]

Great thread! Would love to see some more pregnancy symptoms from those who are or were pregnant!

I agree, great thread but it takes ages to scroll through all the 'wannabees' and read the experiences from those who are or have been pregnant.

Maybe we could have a new thread for actual symptoms to make it easier?

PS I am a 'wannabee' too!

Well finally managed to get appt with docs this morning

So, I went and he has said that 14 days is the normal for testing. So, I am to do another hpt on Monday if hasn't got me. He also said that shop bought hpt are more sensitive than the ones on the NHS.

I am still to go back and see him next Friday, as this is an area is particularly interested in.

He apparently takes a class every 2 weeks on the Billings Method???

So, really I am no further forward.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

I saw my doctor when I was 8 days late and she too wanted a sample at 14 days if AF hadn't arrived, which it hasn't. *knocks on wood* I'm going to do a pregnancy test that morning as well. Hope you get a soon!

 

[Jacksie]

My 14 days are on Monday, so fx'd we will both get our

 

[Ozzieshunni]

14 days late? Or your TWW is over? I'll be 2 weeks late for AF on Monday.

 

[Jacksie]

I'll be 2 weeks late for af on Monday

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Same here! Maybe we'll be bump buddies, lol!

Can anyone answer me a question, i just got my thermometer, what is considered a high temp generally (i know its diff for every woman, but i need a ball park figure)

 

[Jackus]

Hi girls i'm new to the site too.

This is 4th mth ttc. I had Mirena IUD removed in December and think it's screwing with my head as i've felt PG every month.

This month especially so.

Shooting pain in boobs, veiny.
Sore lower back
Had cramping last week but now more like tingles, tugging.
TIRED AS!
Got a cold sore today - WTF i never get those!

I got about 24hrs of pink/brown spotting on 6th - which could of been - who knows!

I'm a POAS addict, and have had up until now.

I did one this afternoon and swear there is the faintest - i mean faint! lines, but perhaps i'm insane...

 

[Jacksie]

Morning Jackus

Your symptoms certainly sound as though your pregnant, a faint line is still positive. Wait a few days and try again and I am sure that you will get a darker line.

I had a mirena coil removed in December as well, and this month my AF is now 16 days late with all the pregnancy symptoms but still no positive pregnancy result

 

[Jackus]

Thanks Jacksie - how frustrating 16 days! Are you going mental?!

How have your cycles been after Mirena removal? Mine have been all over the place, until the last 2 which were 28 days on the dot - but hardly even worth calling

I looked at my poas again this morning and i can definitely see a line - faint as can be - and Hubby said, wouldn't that just be the line that is there before you test there is no line there before you test darlin, and it sure ain't pink!

Maybe it's just me though...... Now..just....to....hold...off...testing....today!

Hi Jackus

Yes,I am going mental, but just don't know what to think any more, got Doc's appt again on Friday.

After getting Mirena removed, I didn't have a period for 6 weeks and then I had one that lasted 2 weeks, but since then it has calmed down.
