The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[PugMama22]

hey girls! ive stalked this thread before and wanted to share how I felt during my TWW before getting my BFP! Good luck to all of you!!

I found out 13/14 dpo. My symptoms were: early cramp-type feelings, weepy, lower back aches, gas, constipation, heartburn and sore nipples. The give-away was the sore nipples because I never get those, and my PMS never kicked in! The night before I tested I snuggled up to my dh in bed and he told me my body was on fire! I feel like a heater! My tummy and back is really hot! *I also dreamed of POAS with a thick second line a couple nights before I tested.

What we did to get our BFP: BD 3 days before first +opk, BD night of first + and BD again the next night. We dtd in the spooning position and I curled up on my side and also propped my butt in the air and my head and chest on the bed. (I supposedly have a tilted uterus so we did it from behind) No oral sex so no saliva! Dh ate tomato soup or drank tomato juice every day this month, we both took a multivitamin everyday and I took my prenatals. I exercised and ate healthy. Drank lots of grapefruit juice before and during ovulation and drank lots of pineapple juice after ovulation. I ate lots of canned pineapples too! I had two weeks off of work during the holidays which helped me to relax and not stress at work. I hope this will help some of you girls get your BFP! (by the way - absolutely NO line on an OPK!)

hi pugmama

congratulations on your BFP… I am really happy for you…

I have been ttc since june 2010. I am 29 years old and desperate for a baby. my gynae always tells me to exercise because it helps reduce stress. I am in my 2ww and this month we have been BDing since CD6. I don’t know if I ovulated or not because I didn’t see the EWCM. Did you have this when you were ovulating? And how often did you exercise? You started just a month before you got your BFP or exercised months before?

Why is tomatoe juice good for hubby and why did you take pineapple juice?

I really need to end this journey 

vintage - oh it sounds v. promising....g/l

welsh -congrats....so how many dpo where you when you tested positive?

Hi I don't know how may dpo I was when i got my because I had such a long cycle. Think I must have had an annovulatory cycle and then went straight into the next. Did a Clearblue digi today and it says 2-3 weeks so I am probably around 17dpo now ( if I hazard a guess!)to all and remember you girls with long,irregular cycles- never give up!

Hi! I never had sore nipples after ov until this cycle- ooer! Could be a promising sign for you! Are you 2dpo or CD2? Good luck inkdchick!

Well don't panic bc your well within the normal range! if you don't see a BFP by this June go see your doctor. I've always been super fit,, but I tend to slack off a LOT during the winter months. I started exercising more again in the beginning of December for stress and to stay healthy while TTC. I started tracking my cycles in Jan 2010 so I figured out my average cycle length, my LP and when I usually ovulate. I actually ovulated later than normal last month (and I think it was bc of the exercise) and I was kind of freaking out, but I kept testing using my opks and finally got my positive. That was the green light to dtd!! Keep testing using opks and as soon as you see your positive dtd at least two nights in a row. I had my hubby on tomato juice/soup bc I did some reading and it has numerous health benefits... there used to be a thread on here about it. I also read that the pineapple juice helps with implantation. I DO think both these things helped bc this was the first month we tried these and we were successful! yay!! I wish you the best and hope to see you in the first trimester forum soon! BTW I'm 27 and dh is 28. GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks dear. I will try to follow your example maybe I get the luck. I do have stress and I really want to relax. So I will wait to see if this month is my month and if I get another BFN I will start exercising. Today I am feeling some twinges in my left leg and also groin. Could this be a sign of something???? I really wish

Hi Everyone!
I am new too all of this and just very confused at the moment with some symptoms..
Bit of background info first... Usual cycle 28ish days, Always regular, First day of AF last was 25th Dec for 7 days(I know all over the christmas period!..Couldnt have been worse timing!),
I guessed I was Ov'ing as I had very mild period like cramps, the usual EWCM (tmi i know!!) and my OH said I was like a waterbottle because I was so hot. Me and my OH done the naughty business over this time so the timings would have all been right.
This last week however I have been experiencing bizaar things happening to me that I havent noticed before (sorry to symptom spot but its impossible not too!)

1. I've started getting leg and hip cramps iv been really aching around that general area,
2.Abdomen area has been feeling just bleurgh...cant really expain the feeling sometimes feels tight and others just weird.
3. Had small bouts of nausea thats what first got me thinking ooerr as I never ever feel sick in anyway.
4. Awful taste in my mouth! Cant seem to get rid!
5. SO exhausted! I cant even concentrate at work or get my words out properly, I find myself forgetting the most simple words or stuttering over simple sentances.
6. Emotional! Extremely Emotional! Got weepy at something really rediculous on the tele!
7. Heartburn
8. Sharp shooting pain in my bbs.
9. Lots of wind (sorry far toooo much info!!). I also keep burping all the time.
10. I also noticed the other day a lot of mucus it was EWCM the other day (Is that even possible after OV'ing?)
11. The most bizaar sense of smell. I seem to smell things no one else can! I noticed that my work collegue went to the fish and chip shop for lunch because he reeked of it but he's been many times before and i've never noticed the smell..it was awful!!
12. Hungry ALL the time! I just want to eat constantly!!!

I dont really know if im just being paranoid and reading into things a lot?
Im not actively trying to concieve but we would love a child. My OH recently said that if I turned around and said I was Preg he would be so happy. Hes so good with babies when I see him playing with our nieces and nephews it just makes me want to have a child with him so much more.

p.s Sorry about my terrible spelling!

Hi Ladies I think ive read up to 100 pages of all these 2WW symptoms and love reading everyones!!

So Basically i'm on my 4th cycle TTC after coming off my pill and this month I have noticed a few possible symptoms. So on my ticker it says I have a cycle of 26 days. I got this by using an average of my previous cycles. It says im 8 days past ovulation and I just thought I would share with you my possible symptoms and you can tell me what you all think! I thought it would be too early to start developing symptoms but after reading alot of posts in this thread I now see that its possible! So here goes...

1DPO-Ever so slight cramping and bloating.
2DPO-Cramping alot more with abit of gas and bloating!
3DPO-Cramping and twinges every now and then, tiny bit of sharp pain, gas and heartburn.
4DPO-Cramping and twinges every now and then, a little sharp pain more towards the right hand side, feeling abit sicky, increased hunger, eating every 2 hours! Heartburn and a little bit of gas, bloating has gone!
5DPO-More cramping, I feel pregnant today!! Seems weird, i hope im right Heart burn, sore back but less gas!
6DPO-Same symptoms, debating going to the doc's today because worries about the sharpess of the pains. Not very often though.
7DPO-Decided to leave the docs and wait to see if AF comes on saturday. (That is if i have a 26 day cycle, if the full 28 then monday)
8DPO-Today- Have only felt slight twinges not an awful lot, nipples hurt a little to touch but not majorly. They seem bigger, but maybe that is just me? I also blew my nose today and had a slight bit of blood! I saw this in another ladies symptoms, dunno if it means anything. Other than my other symptoms I have had an increase in my CM, its white but with a tinge of yellow sometimes, dont know what this means...

Let me know your thoughts on my symptoms please! And babydust for everyone, hopefully alot more BFP's this month. x

[Browning]

Well got my yesterday- CD 77! Tested 14-12-2010 and 21-12-2010 and had been feeling yuck so I tested with an OPK yesterday and it was darker than the control line! Then did a HPT and the line was as dark as the control line- 6.30pm may I add! Symptoms so far:
Sore (.)(.)
Sore nipples
Lower backache
Pulling/tugging sensations in tummy
Blood in mucous when blowing nose
Light pink cm on Tuesday morning- only once when I wiped so that must have been implantation bleeding
Still in shock as have two teenagers and this LO was not planned!
Hope this gives hope to those with long irregular cycles like me to all of you

Congratulation i got mines the other day. I am so happy but so scared at the same time. I tested 13 DPO using a clearblue plus and got a faint line. When i used the clear blue digital test, it told me straight away that i am pregnant.
I had some of the same symtoms as u
Sore/sensitive nipples
Sore breast
breast feel a lot bigger lol
stomach cramps not too bad though on and off
NO implantation bleeding thank God. I don't want no bleeding
I just want a healthy pregnancy.
Hope u have a successfull and problem free pregnancy and a healthy and happy . When are you going to the Doc to confirm? I don't know if its too early at the mo

I got my bfp on 12/28/10.

I actually didn't think it worked that month, but decided to paos anyways and to my suprise it was pos!

There were only a couple of symptoms now that I look back on it.
-I was pretty thirsty and couldn't seem to drink enough water.
- I was waking up in the middle of the night with either really weird dreams or I had too pee. (I usually never wake up in the middle of the night)
- I seemed more tired than usual.

Those were really the only thigns I noticed. I really didn't start getting tender bbs or morning sickness until about halfway through my 6th week.

Hope this helps!

Hi there! Congrats to you too- yay! Thinking of going to the docs on Monday to confirm as I think I will be 5.5 weeks. Still in utter shock and DH and I had not planned to have another so it takes some getting used to. Want to see docs re: flu jab and early tests for Downs as I am 38. to all you lovely ladies x

 

[Babyluck]

Hi ladies,

Its so good to look through all these early signs and symptons, especially for someone like me who is still tying for baby number 1. I've been trying for 7 months.

I am 9dpo and had brown spotting days 5 and 6, with a little bit of what I would describe as a light red, only when I wiped and it soon went.

On day 7/8 dpo in the middle of the night I woke with a real watery feeling in my mouth and really thought I was going to be sick. It lasted about 3 mins then subsided. I don't know whether it was just that I had such a nasty taste in my mouth making me feel sick or what????

Both my partner and I have noticed that my boobs have got more veiny. They are not sore at all though?

My af is due Sat 29th Jan so I am probably going to test next weds (26th)

Its so hard not to sympton spot and last cycle I had dizzy spells, and wondered if that was a symton, but then af appeared!

What do you ladies think? I guess the only way to know for sure is to wait and take a test!

Wishing tou all tons of luck.

xxxx
