The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[Bella82]

I think your symptoms are a GREAT sign! Keep the positivity up because believing is key to getting where you're going... In saying that I need to take my own advice! When do you expect AF?

Hi Babybumpat22, thanx for your PMA, i am a bit the same tho, my PMA is very lacking! I don't want to get my hopes up, so my defense mechanism is to be very negative & not have any hope! All week DH has been saying that he reckons i'm pg as each new symptom has popped up or continued, but i keep dismissing every symptom as being caused by something else other than pg

I'm currently on CD 27, last month my cycle was 30 days, so AF due to arrive in a few more days, but i'm hoping not!

 

[jec]

not sure these are symptoms, i'm probably imagining them....

peeing a LOT more than usual at night mostly...

feel really bloated/full/heavy in abdomen area...

who knows!!

i think my ticker is wrong too as my cycles have been all over the place :/

xx

I know what you mean. I was like that all cycle, but as symptoms continue I really am trying a positive approach. Maybe the negativity might be a sign for your body to stop the process or something... You know how they say your thinking can have an effect on your body, so, after my bubby told me this (bubby= boyfriend/hubby because i don't believe in marriage... weird religion I was raised in but i'm warming up to the idea) I started to think... hmmm maybe I should be positive this cycle! Either way, if that helps you then I'll be positive with your DH for you That'll work lol Either way SUPER STICKY vibes for you and tons of baby dust 3 more days!

Positivity is the key madam! Whether its a BFN or BFP keep a positive attitude even in rough times! Who knows, this could be it! Just keep up with symptoms! List them and put your dpo up so you can see the progress. Worst case scenario you won't get your BFP, but think about it, you can look at your symptoms next month and see how they match up to this cycle There's always a positive to everything... okay MOSTLY everything Baby Dust to you too!

1 dpo: Nada
2 dpo: Nada
3 dpo: Weird crampiness, EXTREME and RANDOM mood swings. Sever headache and nausea (WHAT'S THAT ABOUT!)
4 dpo: Headache still around when I woke up. Nausea kicked up an extra notch
5 dpo: Headache and nausea are gone Tons of light cramps before i went to bed. Woke up with more cramps.
6 dpo: Crampies still revved up! Not painful just there.. Cervix is high and soft ( i think..) *Update* NOOO the headache has returned! I'm sitting in my room eating oatmeal. Sudden kick up of tummy flutters then WHAM headache!
7 dpo: Random small cramps in the front of my thigh... I hear this is a sign of a bad pregnancy or an unhealthy one :/. Little sharp pain in my boob. Complete indigestion.
8 dpo: Same as 7 but now BOTH boobs have little mini sharp pains. Food is sitting in my throat. My right boob feels swollen or something.
9 DPO: Positive OPK but Negative Fr and internet cheapie :'( Extreme hot flashes! In part why I still haven't slept... oh insomnia too
10 DPO: EMOTIONAL (But that's litterally been every day for about 5 days). More hot flashes. Super dizzy at work and out of breath while talking, moving.. existing. thigh cramps briefly (never happens)

TODAY'S SYMPTOMS
11 dpo: I felt dizzy and jittery for a few hours after I woke up. When I got to work I felt soo overwhelmed I literally laid my head down while unloading the truck. EXTRA bubbly tummy! I was pooting all night (I work over nights). I burped all night too! The icing on the cake was when I had to tinkle when I got home. Went outside for about an hour and had to tinkle again! Full bladder after NO liquid... Hunger is happening about ever 2 hours... idk if that's normal at all but I get SO hungry it wakes me from my sleep. I'm hungry now at 9:12 and I just ate around 7!!!! My tummy growled so hard my friend asked if I was eating these days lol

I'm trying super hard to NOT get my hopes up, but I never get these symptoms before AF. In fact I generally survive on oatmeal because I just never eat much. (unless of course its candy lol) I said a little prayer last night and promised to only test on the 23rd because i'm a POS ADDICT! Tomorrow I'll use an ic. On the 25th I'll use another and the 28th a frer. Believe hard for me ladies!! **If i'm not i'm seriously looney lol**

 

[emmeclare]

Hi all
We have been ttc for 4months now.
I have been getting any symptoms
I am extremely tired, hungry (which is unusual), moody, get short of breath easily, my breasts are tender&have grown a lot& nipples seem to be reder than usual. I have had constant lower back ache for neally2weeks, I am peeing more than usual and have to get up during the night to go. Have been feeling sick, even a cuppa made me feel sick this morning (never heard of with me!!!)

my period is due tomorrow but I did a test today as I couldnt wait anylonger it came back negative but I have been getting so many symptoms could this be a false neg? Or am I imagining the symptoms as I want this so much?

Hey Babybumpat22, I will try your way of thinking, even though i still think i'll end up disappointed! hehehe, its like the negativity is ingrained in my brain!
But i will definitely try to think positive thoughts this week, we're going away for the weekend, so i'll try to be positive & also just forget about it all & see if the will visit while we're away ( )

Your symptoms sound soooo promising!! You def. don't sound looney! I wish you lots of baby dust also, FX'd 4 u!

I've also had some hot flashes this week, including today! But mine are just in my cheeks, they go really red for a short while, weird! I also had some cramping in my thighs/calves & feet a couple nights this week, that doesnt sound like a good sign though!

I feel like most of my symptoms are gone, other than a few small things & also the tips of my nips (hahaha!) are still a lil bit sensitive. Another development this morning though.... I got ferning on my Maybe Baby Ov. microscope, not sure if it means anything though? Last month i only got a slight increase in the amount of blobs/dots but no ferns at all on the day AF arrived, but this time i've gotten full on ferns! Do you (or anyone else) use a saliva Ov. microscope? Just wondering if its a def. sign of pg or if its normal to get ferns before the arrives? I'm 13 dpo today but don't feel pg at all

You seriously sound like me! After all of those intense symptoms all month now things have slowed down. hunger, gas, and cramps are the only little signs holding on :/. But I've never even heard of a saliva ov microscope! Where'd you get it? I hope its not something else i can obsess about lol. Oh and as for the check thing, I can't turn too red, lol (i'm african american) but the cheeks being hot thing def happened to me today as well. They were on fire! I'm sure i'll break and test but i'm trying super hard to wait until tomorrow. Just light crampies today but we should totally hang in there! When are you testing?

Hehehe, we're twins! Most things have slowed down for me today too, i'm trying hard to hang onto some PMA, but its not working!

Lol, i'm Aussie with a spanish background, & my cheeks also don't get that red, but def. redder than normal! & OMGGG, maybe i shouldn't have told you about the M.B (Maybe Baby), its VERRRRY addictive, i use it nearly every day, all thru my cycle, i love seeing the little patterns! You're supposed to 'fern' (fern patterns your spit makes when u ovulate) only during ovulation, & in the lead up to Ov. day you start getting small lines & partial ferns, then on Ov. day you get big full fern patterns, its so fun to see!

When ru gonna test? Are you gonna? Not sure if i'll test again, i'm scared of seeing another! But AF is due on Sun/Mon, so this weekend I'll prob play the waiting game If AF doesnt turn up by Tues then i might test then, suprisingly I have super-strength willpower, even though i'm dying to know/test!

At least i'll be distracted all weekend, we're going interstate to visit my SIL (hubby's sister) for her B'day, so we'll be sight-seeing & keeping busy, so i won't have time to obsess or SS (symptom spot!)

ok this is all assuming that the two days of very light bleeding at cd 17 was not a period...
cd 11-strong O pains.Right side
cd 15-blood tinged cm(only when I wipe)
cd 16-same as cd 15
cd 17 and 18-light bleeding. Only used one tampon a day (figured this was my period)
cd 18 until cd 25-extreme nausea, diarreha, headaches, horrible cramping, very tired ( did not leave the house for the entire week)
cd 20-ewcm, right side cramping (like o pain)
cd23-huuuuuuuge gush of white fluid
cd 26 -constipation (can't believe I'm saying this but I miss my runs...haha)extreme nausea, headaches, horrible cramping, very tired

Cd 27 (today)- the shits came back

I dread my first morning meal. I can only eat about half of what I normally eat but then have to eat again later.Chewing gum and eating things with salt (crackers and chips) seems to keep the sickness away for a little bit).

I get sick feeling off and on throughout the day but without fail right when I go to bed and as soon as I wake up. I'm also having a hard time falling asleep at night...even though I'm extremely tired. I need naps throughout the day.

It wasn't until a few day ago that I started to wonder if my two days of bleeding was not a period.

Very emotional and extreme mood swings.

For the past few days my favorite shampoo has been turning my stomach

6DPO - woke up feeling OK just a little crampy, but now I've got a raging headache, really sore bb's, dizziness and NAUSEA....ugh... I've been retching and heaving for the better part of the last hour - wave after wave of nausea, light headed and dizzy. Damn I feel nasty.

 

[jec]

OooOOooOOOoo

I've got sore (.)(.)

Hello! This is my first post. I love reading this thread and thought I'd join in. I've been ttc for just over a year. Today is 9 dpo. Every month I feel like I might have symptoms and then here comes af. This month has been a little different and I'm so hopeful. I woke up with this huge zit on my chin yesterday. That never happens except the day before ovulation and day before af. Also I have been tired a lot. My bb's aren't sore but I never get sore bb's. Also I had a touch of heartburn and nausea a couple times. I hope this is my month.
I saw a dr. and had hormone levels tested - everything ok. DH had test everything good except kinda low morphology. Doctor said it would just take time.
When do you think I should test?

Hey, I looked around and apparently hot flashes mean the hormones are showing up in your blood stream! this is a good sign! lol. I hope you start feeling it this cycle.... but i also feel like I'm just not pregnant some times while others I KNOW i am... gah! Can you get online while you're on vacay? Maybe not being able to obsess with me will help you get through the wait sooner!!! **Baby Dust**

Hello everyone!
This is my first post on this forum, but I've read the entire thing beginning to end the past week during my TWW. This is the first month that I really got the "feeling" that I might be pregnant. Here are my symptoms so far, I'll try to list them in the order they occurred...

*Sore boobs from just after OV day to present.
*Slight cramps and twinges in abdomen from OV to present
*Slight nausea and dizzy spells from 3 dpo-6 dpo
*Super veiny boobs (I can see big veins in both sides). Nips are erect at all times, and a bit hard, but not too sensitive.
*Really Tired the last week or so, can't keep eyes open after 4pm without a nap.
*Small head aches the past few days.
*Cervix still fairly High, but firm. Lotiony CM, but none on panties.
*Major AF cramps this morning (10 dpo) and really gassy (sorry TMI).
*Tested this morning at 10DPO with IC and

Due for AF on Saturday or Sunday...I will probably test again in the morning with FMU...I'm totally impatient. Let me know what you all think. TTA

TODAY'S SYMPTOMS
12 Dpo: Ugh BFN again today. now I have light cramps and I still keep burping every 10 seconds lol. I slept the hold time bubby was home today Pretty tired but that could be due to a number of reasons. I'm trying to hold out until the 28th but I'm sure i'll use up all of my ics just to pass the time...

I'm not sure if you all remember but my dpo can be either -4 or +2... Hooray for uncertainty

Not feeling too confident but still keeping faith

 

[BridieChild]

I'm 7DPO and got what looks like white glue - it's white like creamy CM but it kind of 'sticks' and forms little white peaks between my fingers - so is it creamy or sticky?

 

[berry26]

Well I got my the other day and you know what I've had very few symptoms! Infact I've got opposite ones! I can't sleep and I've gone off my food! And ok a lot of cm but that's it!
