The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[mrskcbrown]

I just got a faint BFP this afternoon & my husband & I are cautiously excited about the prospect of having our first baby after a chemical last month & an ectopic the month before which resulted in the removal of my right tube.

Each time I have been pregnant I have had exactly the same symptoms:
* huge, full-feeling boobs
* extremely dry mouth/lips
* very vivid dreams
* lots of lotiony milky cm
* dull cramps right down low that don't feel like AF

I had all of these on & off from 1dpo til today.

We've now just gotta make sure a) our gorgeous little one sticks & b) it's in the right place this time!

Baby dust to all!

Congrats and wishing you the best!

i got my BFP yesterday, and i swore i would update this thread with my symptoms, so here goes:-

lil bit of background first, this was our 8th cycle trying and i have been having irregular cycles since stopping bc, my average cycle length was 39 days!

This was also our 2nd cycle using conceive + but only AFTER bd'ing cos hubby hated it lol

my last period started on May 31st and we only bd'd 4 times ths cycle, on 7th june, 8th 12th & 15th got my BFP on cd 27!

so i clearly ovulate a lot earlier in my cycle probs where we've been going wrong!

i dont know about dpo so will just list what i can remember:-

constant feeling of being wet down there LOL
Extreme hunger, & i mean extreame!
Sore nipples at first which then led to sore bb's but only really at the sides
Heartburn & indigestion, which is something i never get, so a big clue for me
Tired like you wouldnt beleive, i can sleep ALL the time!
Lower back pain
Af type cramps
The odd dizzy spell & feeling of nausea
feeling very bloated
Also a lot clumsier that usual, keep bumping into things

so as you can see, quite a lot going on wth me, i know you here this all the time, but i honestly did just 'know' that i was, suppose its kinda obvious given all my symptoms

good luck to all those ttc & congrats to all who have got their BFP

if anyone has any questons i'll be more than happy to answer them!!

this board has been such a support to me over the months and i cant thank you all enough! xx

Congrats! This board helped me out too when I was trying.

Well, I'm out ladies. AF arrived this morning, so I'm guessing I ovulated late this month (I had a huuuuge gut feeling that was what had happened anyway). I had a bit of a cry this morning, but I'm ok now.

Good luck and lots of baby dust to everyone who is still in!

so went to my dr appointment today and still BFN at 12 dpo so they went ahead with the testing for clomid... PAINFUL TESTING... what they did was scan me and then put a cath in my uterus and filled it with saline then rescanned me to make sure my ovaries and everything look good... I have PCOS.. but with the scan today only found 4cyst and said my uterine lining is normal and everything is good... so start clomid on day 3 of my cycle when it starts... supposed to be here on June 30th... so fx'd for next month....still not out this month though until the shows her ugly face

on Monday I had a Hysterosonogram.. has anyone else had one??? it hurt really bad but I was supposed to start today and haven't yet... I am really regular now that I have been on metformin for awhile... was wondering if this procedure could mess with you cycle or would it have harmed the baby if I wind up pregnant..

 

[ttcbaby117]

where are you in your cycle cam? I thought they could only do HSG's frmo the 6-10 day of your cycle.

 

[camishantel]

I started yesterday I was 24 days into my cycle they did a HPT before hand as they couldn't do it if I was pregnant none of this did I know before hand though otherwise I would have scheduled it right after this cycle started before I had time to ovulate and had a possibility of being preggers

 

[ttcbaby117]

yeah well I think you are in good shape for next cycle, because they have cleaned you out good and well! G/L

 

[camishantel]

thanks I hope so

Hi Cami (and all!) - I had an HSG this cycle (day 11) and they said everything looked good. They are somewhat painful as you mentioned, but I can tell you it is worth every second. My dr. said it can actually help with pregnancy, and she was right - we just got our BFP this morning!!

So hang in there. The HSG can help increase your chances! I'm proof LOL!

 

[ttcbaby117]

congrats rottpaw...what were your symptoms?

 

[rottpaw]

Hi TTC and thank you!

My symptoms have been pretty consistent the last week or so. No symptoms really the first week after OV. Starting in the second week post OV, sore bbs (but honestly not too much worse than AF soreness for me), vivid dreams, dizziness, fatigue (going up stairs is a major event now lol!), mild cramps (not quite like AF, but sort of random throughout the day). The oddest thing, which I've heard from others too, was sudden clumsiness (more than usual LOL). Bumping into stuff or banging my hand on a drawer reaching to open it, that kind of thing.

 

[ttcbaby117]

oh thanks for sharing and congrats again!

I'm getting faint s and so far, I've had...

1.Great big, evil, teenage acne type spots. I mean great big humdingers, totally gross!!
2.Very sleepy very early in the evening *yawn* Have been in bed by 9.30pm each night this week,and having problems getting up in the morning too (very unlike me!)
3. 'Normal things' are smelling pukey! Can't stand the smell of bacon at the moment!!

I posted the above almost exactly two years ago when I was newly pregnant with my son. Once again, my skin is horrendous and I am very sleepy... I can't say smells are bothering me too much at the moment though but all my fingers and all my toes are crossed for a soon!
