The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[twinklebunny]

Well I can't believe I'm writing on this post already! I stopped taking my bcp on 22nd January, had a withdrawal bleed starting 24th January and got my on February 27th. Still finding it hard to believe I am pg even though I've got 3 ! When I think about it I did have symptoms but I was trying not to symptom-spot and put it down to symptoms due to coming off the pill.

I don't know how useful this will be as I have no idea when I ovulated, but I'll let you know the syptoms I've been feeling over the last couple of weeks:

- first thing I noticed was really sore nipples a couple of weeks before for about 5 days. They aren't sore now though.
- really prominant nipples, they look bigger than normal.
- really restless sleep, tossing and turning all night.
- a couple of weeks ago I woke up starving and had to get up and have something to eat. This has only happened once.
- having to get up in the night to go to the toilet a couple of times.
- getting tired earlier than normal.
- I had a really thick, white, creamy mucous a couple of weeks ago and left lots of it on hubby when we were bd'ing.
- my boobs don't seem any bigger but they feel heavier.
- I felt really faint a couple of days ago, to the point where I thought I would have to leave the classroom at work.
- I don't really feel sick at the moment, but I haven't had an appetite at all for the last couple of days.
- 34 days after withdrawal bleed ~ faint on IC with FMU, on Predictor test at 6pm.
- 35 dats after withdrawal bleed ~ IC with FMU didn't work as no line in the control window; on IC with SMU (line thicker and darker than last one); on tesco test at 9pm (line much thicker and darker than the last)

Sorry I couldn't be more specific in terms of when these things happened in days past OV, but hope they help.

Hi LAdies, I too cant believe that I am writing this !!! I have just got my !! I cant believe it... I was on the bcp for 14 years and came off it back in october had a really long wait for my first which finally rared her head on 16th jan !! So for the last 2 weeks I have been waiting on the second round which to be honest I just felt like I still hadnt regulated but said taht if there was no sign today I would test and got my

So here are my over the last couple of weeks I could actually replicate most of twinklebuddy's symptoms)
1 . really sore nipples ( although I generally have tender breasts)
2. Quite erect nipples
3. White creamy thick cm
4. HAvent been sleeping great and very restless
5. Was finding I was a little more tired that usual.
5 And felt like I was going through puberty all over again spots galour all over my face.

I really hope you ladies get your soon !!

Hi All - As promised! Tested at 9dpo in the evening (???) and got a visable line, also from then on i got stronger lines... then with a digi on friday pregnant 1-2 weeks!!!! My symptoms

1-6 dpo - Nothing out of the ordinary? apart from a vivid sex dream about kings of leon...yes all 4 of them...mmmmmmm

8 dpo - slight cramping and a dream that i got 2 lines on a test?chatting to my online buddies, got a gush of (TMI) cm and it was like creamy but also ewcm mixed in.. also my cp was flat and wet like at ovulation..i thought period was coming early cause thats what it does when shows.

9dpo - tested at 9ish pm got a definate line weird!!?

10dpo - at 9pm - bizzare how i could get it in evening?

11dpo - in the morning, darker in the evening...feeling very crampy all day, quite bad like period cramps and also leg cramps, arm cramps and foot cramps!

12dpo - digital says PREGNANT 1/2 weeks feeling a bit sick in evening.

13-14 dpo - did not test but feeling very sick in the mornings and evenings, headaches, gone off food but feel very hungry

The only thing that made me test was the fact that i had a dream that i got 2 lines. The only thing i did this month was take epo for cm, and it worked!!

Please pray for a stick bean for me

does anyone know if heartburn is a symptom?

 

[leelee]

does anyone know if heartburn is a symptom?

Yes, my SIL has suffered with heartburn all through her pregnancy!

 

[flumpy]

well i dont really think i have much hope this month but I have developed heartburn all of a sudden - its probably just something I have eaten! serves me right for being greedy today!!

flumpy. Had the same problem this afternoon. It was chronic. I'm like wtf, i don't get this. I put it down to eating my spicy chicken bits too quick @ lunchtime but maybe not. Maybe I should add this to my list of I'm not symptom spotting really things.

 

[leelee]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. How many DPO are you?

 

[flumpy]

well I am not actually sure - we were not trying this month (first cycle after m/c) but werent preventing either - but I think I am about 6 or 7dp going on dates

There seems to be a lot of people on here who get a straight after a m/c. It also happened to a close friend of mine. I have my fingers crossed for you.

I just realized I never posted my early pg symptoms here when I was pg...so for the sake of all you symptom spotters here goes...

1. The biggest clue (no pun intended) was swollen bb's. They are usually swollen right before AF, but they were much more so when I got my BFP. Also my nips were kinda sore, felt like I'd been given titty twisters!

2. I am always ravenously hungry for a few days before AF, and that did not happen, so there was a very noticeable lack of appetite.

3. I had a triphasic temp chart, and my temp was over 99 the whole time I was pg.

4. Strange cramps, but not like AF cramps...I can only assume this was my uterus stretching a bit...and a growling belly, like when you're hungry. DH listened a couple times and could hear lots of activity.

I always thought symptom spotting was a waste of time, surely it was all in my head, but these 4 symptoms were very real. We all know everyone's different, but hopefully this will help someone else out! Good luck and to everyone including moi!

Hello,

My name is Shannon and I’ve been TTC for 6 months now. For the last 10 years I was taking birth control and in Sept (6 months ago) I stopped taking them. I noticed that my period has been very irregular and throughout taking birth control I was perfectly regular (but I know that that’s what it does). My period came on Oct 17th, Nov18th, Dec 20th and Jan 30th. It seems to be roughly 30 -40 days long. Today is March 5th and its been 33 days since my last period. I'm also not sure what day in on right now. If it was like last month at 40 days that i should get AF on March 12th, which would put my at like 9 or 10 DPO. About 3 or 4 days ago I started to get really tired, but Im also up at 4am to go to work so im usually always tired, bb's are kinda sore but not too bad, no spotting yet and i have had some cramping like AF cramps. I think my biggest problem is that im not sure if im already late for my AF or not?? It's making me crazy...
