The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[missbooby]

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 *

mine is mental this cycle, really gloopy and getting quite a few clumps. Don't remember it being anyhting other than white and 'lotiony' during all other 2WW's. But it's more like frog spawn now?!?!
I'm 15DPO and praying this is gonna be it!

wow! when are you going to test? yeah i dont remember anything like this before either... maybe for me its just a sign of af, but i just dont ever remember it like this! Funny how ttc makes us know our bodies way better. I have read so much though that c cm is a symptom, so i am just wishing!

Absolutely loving this thread guys, am on my 2ww and symptom spotting like mad - I always think I have pregnancy symptoms though

Anyone else with a to post to keep us 2ww's happy

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!

I guess my answer is a no then. Everyone seems to have such distinct signs Thanks anyhow - will try to wait patiently for af to show up!

adzuki, I always think I have symptoms and then get and I have read on here that a lot of ladies get no symptoms at all so I still think you're in with a good a chance as any I have my FX for you and a

adzuki, some people don't experience symptoms until later. Don't give up hope!!

The symptoms of PMS and early pregnancy are actually the same since the same hormones cause them. In the 2WW, your body, whether the egg has been fertilized or not, is preparing to be pregnant. You can see a small difference after implantation though as the HCG produced after that enhances, prolongs and eventually produces more new symptoms. However, not all women experience it the same way and in the early days it might be too small to notice.

Anyway, don't lose hope, even if you don't have anything listed here!

Well, I'm going to symptom spot...why not??!! Could be nothing, but here it goes
3dpo strong pulling/stabbing pain to pelvic bone (I had ov cramps, so this is different)
also loads of creamy white CM
4dpo still pulling/stabbing pain to pelvic bone, but more frequent, still loads of creamy white CM, but rather gassy!!
5dpo still that darn pulling/stabbing pain to pelvic bone(ofcourse I say darn, because I'll be upset if it's nothing....if it is something...bring it on!)
Still loads of creamy white CM and still soooo gassy!! Tonight at work I stood up and felt so dizzy I almost fell down...like my equillibrium was off. I had a great dinner, so not hungry....and peeing like a race horse.. these may be nothing, but just putting it up so when I get my BFP next week, it'll be fun to look back!! PMA! PMA! PMA! Danielle (love this icon, wish I could use it more)

My first symptom was smells at work (i work on a busy medical unit in hospital)made me feel queasy,and it doesnt usually bother me.(tmi:various bodily fluids!) Tender b@@bies and increase in cm,and a dull ache like af was still gonna show!

 

[Aunty E]

I've been obsessively noting my symptoms each day, but I won't bother listing them unless I get a BFP. A lot of them could just as easily be PMS symptoms, but as I haven't had a natural cycle since I was 14, I've no idea whether or not this is the case. I also have IBS, so am used to strange tummy pains and lots and lots of gas and the odd bit of nausea. Hope I'm not out. I'm 9DPO today.

 

[lola]

Just to cheer you all up I had zero symptoms before my bfp, except extremely yellow CM, not sure if its related but there it is. After bfp I have had almost a scratching/pinching sensation, sore (but not massively) bb's and just now very queezy (sorry very excited)

Good luck to everyone, wishing you all your very soon

 

[adzuki]

Thanks guys. I still don't know about this cycle of mine - so unusual Even my temps seem to be whack. I wonder if that's because I got the flu shot? They seemed high before O (and when I got the flu shot) and seem low now, in the TWW. I guess that perhaps the lack of symptoms means my body is doing other things (like fighting off bugs) and is too busy to worry about PMS!!! LOL. Sigh. Not out till the witch comes, I guess - so should know in a few more days!!!

Or maybe it's strange for other reasons... faint pink line - BFP or Evap??? Only time will tell!!!

*bump*

 

[adzuki]

Yup! !!!!!!!


So apparently, when you don't get the usual PMS (sore boobs, cramps, pulling feeling, grumpiness, pimple, etc) it could mean that you have a BFP!!!

For me, the absence of symptoms was strange. Although in hindsight, I did have a slight lower back ache - like I twisted wrong in yoga. Also, from 8DPo I had the most gurgly tummy I have ever had before - would laugh and laugh! Not gas really, but gurgly.

I guess any change from the norm can be a symptom, huh?

In any case, I am wishing that ALL OF YOU have "symptoms" that turn into bundles of joy this Christmas!!!!!

Thanks for all the support!!!!!!

Congratulations! that's fantastic!!
good luck for a happy and healthy pregnancy! X

Can i ask a very personal Q... you don't have to answer it!!!but with so few symptoms and a ....did you also have lots of cm that everyone keeps talking about - i have spotted other possible symptoms for me but really dry and none of 'that' to report!!! Thanks KT

 

[adzuki]

LOL!! No problem! I am about to embark on a journey where everyone is going to be poking around at all of my parts, so now is not the time to be shy Nope, no special CM. For me, it was definitely the absence of symptoms (af or otherwise) that led me to suspect. Looks like you're still in!!! Good luck and baby dust!!!!

[Katielou76]

Thanks Adzuki, yes it really isn;'t a time to be shy huh! my mum says when you have a baby you hang your dignity on the door when you go in and collect it on the way out!!! I think she meant for the actual birthing bit but i guess the whole pregnancy a bit of jiggery pokery of ya bits!! bring it on!!!

 

[adzuki]

Don't make me laugh so hard, I'm a pregnant woman now - too easy to pee my pants!!!!!

LOL!

Hi ladies,

I've just got my this morning at 9dpo. Not really got many symptoms but here's my story -

O'd on CD18, we every day from CD13 to CD18, using preseed each time (first cycle of using preseed).

Since then I have had a mixture of creamy cm & sticky cm, these last few days have been creamy, and is yellow in my underwear. The first day that I had creamy cm (4dpo), there was a lot & it had a bright yellowy/green tinge to it.

I got 2 mouth ulcers on 4dpo, they're just going now. Had some weird feelings in uterus (well, what I'm guessing it's uterus now I know I'm pg!) - just little twinges here and there, similar to O pains, but in the centre now as opposed to where my ovaries are. These started about 6dpo. Last couple of days I've also had tummy ache, nothing bad but there all the same. My nipples have got more sensitive this last couple of days, they're always sensitive at O, but this month the sensitivity went after O (as normal) then came back worse. Getting the odd twinge in boobs too.

Not been able to get to sleep this last week, have woken up covered in sweat & have had very weird dreams.

Lastly, this last couple of days I've had a metallic taste in my mouth - comes & goes, isn't strong & only lasts a couple of seconds.

I tested with fmu with an internet cheapie - couldn't decide if it was an evap or faint line. Tested again with smu, got a darker line but still wasn't sure, tested with digi & got !!

Oh, and when I was in bed on 7dpo, I had tummyache & felt a bit sick.

The thing that made me test early (I was supposed to wait until next Thurs!!) was that I hadn't gotten any period cramps - which I normally start gettimg a week before af is due. Didn't think I would be though as most women say they still get the cramps as normal.

 

[Elliebank]

Oh & one more thing - when I reach up for anything, it feels like I'm pulling a muscle round where my uterus is.
