The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[merechick]

I've had twinges in my pelvis since ovulation, but I have endometriosis so it's not uncommon for me to feel pinching sensations down there....so I didn't assume it meant anything. But I did notice last night and this morning much more intense pinching/cramping sensations on the right side, and even near my right hip, unlike what I've experienced before.

How many dpo are you?

p.s. forgot to say thanks for the congrats! xxx

I have no idea when I OVed as we are not using any "tools" aka OPKs. I didn't even think I OVed this month though. But I am not expected AF for another 5 days. This is interesting, I also have pulsating cramps by my hip. I've had very low cramps for a week now also. I feel hopeful now. Thank you merechick! Good luck at your appointments, hope your levels keep going up. Keep us updated!

I found that the OV test kits didn't work for me, they always came up negative! I only knew I was ovulating this time b/c I get horrible pains when I ovulate from the right ovary b/c of my endometriosis....so I could pinpoint the day with almost exact accuracy.

Defo sounds like you could be having some bona fide symptoms, especially if you're having the spotting and low-level cramps. So best of luck and do keep me posted!!

Thanks so much for all the well-wishes, sending you lots of

Some of mine have been quite strange, but I've been tracking them closely (I've been a bit OCD over the whole TTC thing, as you can see below!)

2-3 dpo: Increased appetite. Feeling really cold. Awoke w/bad urinary tract infection (UTI), took antibiotics. Gurgly tummy.

3-4 dpo: UTI pretty much resolved. Really strong metallic taste in my mouth, worse after brushing teeth and eating. Runny/stuffy nose. Twinging on both sides of pelvis. Gurgly/gassy tummy in early a.m. Feeling cold. Strange appetite. Fairly frequent urination but haven't had much liquid. Felt suddenly sick and vomited once around 17:30.

4-5 dpo: Metallic taste pretty much disappeared. Gassy in the a.m. Runny/stuffy nose. Feeling cold again, but otherwise pretty normal.

5-6 dpo: Pelvic twinges. Gurgly/gassy in the early a.m. Stuffy/runny nose in afternoon. Creamy CM.

7-8 dpo: Pelvic twinges/cramps on both sides. Slight metallic/manky taste in mouth, water tasted a bit soapy?? Breasts not tender upon touch, but sore deep down? Slight headache in early a.m. but went away on its own w/o meds, same in late afternoon. Grumbly/gassy tummy early in a.m. Awoke around 5:00am feeling hungry. Slept really well but still feel tired, had nap in afternoon. Sudden watery CM, had to run to the toilet. Feeling cold. Craving chips and chocolate. Cried suddenly at TV show. Was suddenly hungry around 23:00 despite having had good dinner.

8-9 dpo: Pelvic twinges, slight runny nose, pee smelled a bit strong first thing in the a.m. and feeling sort of tired.

9-10 dpo: Slight metallic taste in mouth, which came back full-force later
in the evening. Pelvic twinges.

10-11 dpo: Symptoms came out of the woodwork today! Metallic taste still hanging about. Felt a bit gaggy in the a.m. Strong pelvic twinges. Pee smells strong. Major increased appetite, no hunger pains but starving in a weird way, ate huge sandwich and 2 small McD’s cheeseburgers but was just barely satisfied (I’m 5’5” and just over 9 stone, so that amount of food would usually make me sick, but I had to have it!) Thought I smelled cigarette smoke during class, which of course was impossible and then gagged when I actually smelled cigarette smoke outside later, which never happens. Brownish CM in afternoon and evening, probably implantation? Breasts not sore to the touch, but sore deep down, especially when took bra off. Slept on the train ride home, so tired. Slight headache in early evening. Feeling really cold. Teeth hurt. Frequent urination started in the p.m. Slight backache. in the evening! Will test again over the next few days.

Please stick little angel!!

That is an awesome amount of info, thanks merechick.

I had IUI on Tuesday so now 4DPO and have had a slight metalic taste in my mouth on and off since yesterday. I remember it from last time around so I know it is a good thing.
Also got all those pelvic twinges.

Hope I will be joining all you lovely ladies with a bfp at the end of next week. FS said I can start doing HPTs from next Friday.

Good luck to all of you in the tww like me

I recall non stop peeing it was so bad i was certain it was a UTI and treated it as one. It didnt go away. I also remember nothing, NOTHING tasting nice. I couldnt say what it was but I ate nothing except fizzy cola bottles as I liked the tingle.

Nice memories

 

[MommyMichele]

So far all I have is tender bbs, increased CM, cold, and tired.

Tender bbs and increased CM show up before AF sometimes.
Cold cause it's cold out maybe.
Tired, dunno about that one. Maybe cause the weather is changing.

Pee test at the clinic today. Uh DUH! 8dpo it should be BFN, dummy.

Hi Everyone
I probably shouldn't be posting in here, i started a 'confused thread' cos well i am, but then i stumbled across this thread, and reading some of your symptoms, im like oooo i had that and that and that, and now i am even more confused, cos i think i started my AF on monday a week earlier than i should of after a really bad day on sunday of discharging, but, i am suffering headaches, loads of spots, bad moods like you've never seen, was feeling sick last week and odd sensations in my stomach, no paitence, at all, i normally am a really paitent person, but this last couple of weeks, im just not, tired all the time, i get up in a morning and i could just go back to bed again and sleep another 8 or 9 hrs, could someone please read my confused thread and give me a heads up on whats happening, i am going to do a test but i am going to wait till next week when i should of been expecting a visit from AF.
Sorry to butt in on this thread.

Ah, the wicked scent of peer pressure GOOD LUCK!

Hmmm. 9DPO. No usual symptoms of af! I usually get twinges and cramping. Nada. I get grumpy and short tempered. Nada. Headachey. Nada. TMI but I usually get a pimple on my face and a hair sprouting from a freckle. Nada. I am about 99.9% certain that I o'd (very + OPK and temp shift). The only symptoms that I have are the usual breast tenderness and a sore back(that one is new, but I am moving, so could be the bending and packing). Could the abscence of usual symptoms itself be a symptom?

Or should I just count myself lucky that my PMS isn't nearly as bad this time around...?!

Thanks!
A

[1stbaby]

to all the women who had creamy cm while in the tww:

was your c cm normal or thicker or what? had you had c cm in the tww before, like leading up to af? I am having c cm and i dont remember this much after i ov! I dont know if this is a sign for me, i remember having c cm but not like this! Yesterday there was a clump and the day before , today there was not any clumps but there was a lot still all day. I am only on 6 dpo though. Any comments would help.

thanks! *hoping for a *
