The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[babyowl]

Still very early days for me but:

1) slight bleeding which I think was implantation
2) felt really sick a few days after this
3) really tired and hungry
4) my hair went wild! Really shiny and a bit paler, to the point where students in my class were asking if I'd dyed it
5) woke up feeling hot and clammy like during period-this is what made me test

And overall, I just knew. Had a weird feeling about it and was just convinced.

Oh forgot a couple! Darker nipples, cramping and the smell of strawberry tea in one of our cupboards turned my stomach. Despite being veggie, I'm also craving meat!

Same here! I'm about 4dpo as well, feel so flushed this evening and like I have a head cold. Could be nothing but I've had some other symptoms too like heavier CM. I didn't have any symptoms with my son either, loooads back in Sept/oct when I was pregnant for 7 weeks though, this time I feel similar to that so fingers crossed!

Hello ladies,
Thought it may be helpful for someone here for me to put what ive been experiencing. Im 5 weeks now and found out I was pregnant when I was 4 weeks.

- Biggest one of all that made me test, I just didnt feel right. There was something in me telling me something was different. More of a mental thing that a symptom per se' though.

- Sore Boobies: They are just so tender, and my nipples, I want to cry whenever I touch them!

- Boobies growing: Im a 38 E as it is, I dont need bigger chesticles, but alas, they are growing away!

- Light Cramping: Having very light cramps, like the beginning of AF but not as severe nor as painful. More...annoying, yeah thats probably the right word for em'.

- Feeling sick: Ive been sick 3 times so far, all in the middle of the night. Feeling sicky constantly though, just not actually being sick.

- Metal-like taste in my mouth: Self explanatory really, tastes like crap!

- Bloating: This was one of the first thing that made me stop and think hmm...something isnt right. Im a big lass anyways, but my tummy is noticably bloated, massively uncomfortable lol

- Appitite going crazy: I want to eat everything, litterally everything in the house. Im starving 90% of the time lol

And thats the lot for now, hopefully this helps a touch and gives you ladies something to look for xxx

I hope it is ok with the ladies on another thread I posted this same thing on... But I wanted to put it here, too, so that more ladies can read it

I want my story to give HOPE to all of you early POASers!!!

This is my second pregnancy, and the exact same thing happened both times. I don't know what dpo I was either time. I check cp/cm, but I don't chart temps or use opks. I am pretty regular with 29 day cycles... with a fluke cycle every once in awhile. This cycle, the new things I did were:

*Took prenatal vitamins every day
*BDed every other night (just about): CD 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 19, 21, 24
*Got fresh air EVERY day (forced myself out for a walk or something...) I feel it helped keep me calm

AF was due Thursday. I had very light brown/pink spotting (only when I wiped). I had AF cramps. The "whole uterus" kind. Not just tugs and pulls (which led me to believe I was out). Because the spotting looked like the IB I had with my first pregnancy I tested Thursday night (when AF was due). The next morning I woke up and when I wiped there was red. It even dripped into the toilet. And when I showered a few minutes later, I watched some red go down the drain. I was very emotional ALL day.... AF was here and I was out another cycle. Put a tampon in and went about my day. Every time I changed my tampon though, there was barely anything on it!!!!

Saturday (2 days after AF was due). I had no more bleeding and very noticeable symptoms:
*Extra saliva/slight metal taste
*Nipples were darker
*Every smell (even husbands cooking) made me want to vomit

All of these things made me test again Saturday night (CD 31) and get my

SO remember.... you can get a BFP AFTER when you think AF is due and get BFN's all the way leading up to it!!!!! Also, when you see the first signs of AF, don't count yourself out yet!!!!

I've had similar symptoms but BFN when I tested yesterday evening. AF was due on 28th but appeared early Friday morning. It was sketchy brown and red with no usual AF cramps mainly backache and a little heavier Saturday with side cramps for a few hours. Sunday mainly light pink spotting when wiped. So I'm gonna test tomorrow and see. Thanks for sharing!

Hopeful1973 - what you are experiencing sounds like my first BFP (my first pregnancy). I had to wait until 2 days after the "bleeding" for it to show up positive - which was almost a week after AF was due!! But I guess my body doesn't make the hormone's until after implantation bleeding.

Please keep me posted!!! Good luck!!!

 

[ARuppe716]

Just got my BFP yesterday... I've been tired, had a lot of cramping, and very nauseous. The nausea has been the biggest and I've had it since about 5 or 6 dpo. It is also giving me heartburn. I also noticed the last couple days some extra cm that's watery and bad constipation. Hope that helps!!

I will. I'm extremely bloated and can't stop burping. This would be my 4 th pregnancy. 2 teenage miss, 1 m/c last November (similar symptoms except for bleeding) and if I an Oregon this is #4. Just hope its not onset of early menopause. Ha. Which I would be 1st woman in my family that I know of. My mom is 58 and is just now entering menopause. My granny had my mom @ 42 and was still getting pregnant after she had my mom! I also dreamt about twins last week

Ok here is what has been going on with me...can use some insight if y'all don't mind.

1-5 dpo...only symptoms was gas & heartburn.
6 dpo gassy, a little bloated, moody/emotional everything was making me teary
7 dpo swear my bbs were getting bigger but could be in my head. Emotional, gassy, a blah feeling, lots of CWCM
8 dpo cramps like af was coming, backache, cloudy head, CWCM, increased appetite
9 dpo (today) cramps all but subsided, horrible backache, cm dried up some but still creamy, got car sick so stopped and got food (helped a little) , congested (but could just be my allergies), cloudy head

Been feeling fatigued but that is nothing new. Temp has been constant in the 98.2-98.5 range when my normal range is normally around 97.3ish.

Sounds sort of like my symptoms.
I don´t know yet if I´m pregnant. Only 7dpo today. Today sounds like your 8DPO.
Temp rise sounds promising though

I'm glad I stumbled across this forum, but at the same time its gotten me thinking wayy to much about how I'm feeling.
I have endometriosis, so I try not to get too excited when I feel a symptom, but about a week ago I noticed:

• dry mouth
• nausea throughout the day (almost to the point of me vomiting, but hasn't gotten to that point
• (tmi...) almost 'chunky' odorless discharge
• being very very tired, but as soon as i try to sleep I just cant
• food aversions
• strange cravings for things like mashed potatoes and milk (I'm lactose intolerent)
• being super bloated and gassy (but that could also be because I'm drinking milk)...
• SUPER metalic taste in my mouth, and weird tastes in my mouth after I eat
• dull cramps
• migranes on and off throughout the day
• ACNE, in areas of my face I've never really had a problem with
• lastly, my gums hurt... I didnt think it would be a symptom until I started reading a few on here...

Anyways, This may seem more like a rant but we're not really trying right now and I dont even want to bring this up to my partner unless I know for sure.

 

[sarahaprosser]

Hello, today I am 15dpo!! I'm confused because I have had cramping really bad ever since I started ovulating 15 days ago along with very very sore breast. Then it stopped sometime early yesterday. I now have no symptoms of af showing up however I took a preg test yesterday at 5am and it was neg....Thinking about testing today. It's to late I already have my hopes up. Especially since I don't feel like I am going to start my period and I am very regular....do you think I am jumping the gun here???

 

[Tailor32]

Hiya!

Is it possible that I could be pregnant??
I had not even 2 days of light bleeding which came 5 days before my due at date.
I'm feeling really really tired, hungry but odd sense of smell and taste when I eat. Plus I want to sleep as soon as uhave eaten which is really not like me?

Also (tmi) my boobs have these spots which look weird and are kinda sore..

I've been trying since last year July...each month is a bfn.. Tired of being down about it.. But this month seems odd.. I feel odd.

Should I test or leave it till next month?

 

[preg_pilot]

hey tailor32
The answer depends on who is doing the answering

Most POAS addicts here would tell you to test,
and others would tell you to wait, not stress about it.

It all depends you what you´re hoping for.
If you´re like me, BFN phobic, you hold off until next AF is due, but that all depends on you.

I know most of the ladies on this site, would love to know straight away.
