The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[flumpy]

oops posted before I had finished lol!!

the percentage of my day that is taken up with symptom spotting (symptoms that arent there i might add!!) is actually ridiculous!! its a miracle I get anything else done!!

I can't believe i'm actually posting in here after reading it for months.

Okay ladies, due to my long Cycles and the fact i wasn't sure i'd even ovulated yet alone in my TWW! I got my on CD65 the day before my appointment with the fertility specialist!

Things i noticed - looking back the day i thought i'd ovulated CD48 i have tonnes of EWCM and i spotted a tiny amount of blood(apparently this is a good sign of high a level of fertility - so i didn't worry)

I also noted the days after this my CM went incredibly thick and creamy to the point where i couldn't even insert my finger far enough to reach my Cervix without it looking like i'd stuck it in a pot of sudocrem (at this point i still wasn't convinced i'd ovulated as i'd ran out of opk's! so couldn't confirm it)

At CD52 i had some more EWCM but this time itwas runnier and a bit foamy (like beaten eggwhites) - confused now i wasn't sure when i ovulated but we DTD again anyway.

for the last 3 weeks i've had:
- backache
- AF cramps (was totally convinced i was out)
- my (.Y.)'s did their normal AF routine
- my nipples decided they were doing something different, at one point they'd decided they were going to spread out to the size of large eggs - it was very weird!
- Fatigue had kicked in at that point too (looking back) but i've been so busy with work i'd assumed it was the hours i was working.

I tested at what could be with 16dpo or 12dpo and got a really feint positive. unfortunately the Gyne wouldn't confirm either way on such a feint line so i had my tests etc anyway (smear, swabs, blood tests) and awaited for my blood results! call came on friday to say EPU want to see me as my cycle is so long they need to determine how pregnant i am now.

I had:

Very sore boobs, with constantly erect nipples.
Lots of creamy white CM.
Sore gums, they kept me awake at night.
Cold/flu symptoms for a few days, then a constant stuffed nose with blood when I blew it.
Tiredness.
AF cramp like pains.
Dreams that I was pregnant, and other people dreaming I was also.

And it sounds weird, but a couple of days after I conceived, I just knew. We weren't trying, but out of nowhere I just had this overwhelming sense of loveliness and warmness, and just kinda *knew* I was pregnant.

I was on BC for 10+ years and came off about 5 motnhs ago and I just got my POSITIVE! 5 times! My periods were very irregular and i have no idea when i was ovulating, but it worked out. I have not had too many sypmtoms, mild cramping, headaches, somewhat sore bb's, very tired, but thats about it. So even if you dont have many symptoms you for sure can be prego... Im praying for everyone....xo

Not many symptoms for me to be honest.
1. extremely tired for the first couple of weeks and sleeping really well, now just as tired but not sleeping well!
2. Teeny bit of spotting about 10dpo
3. I caught the cold
4. achey lower back, just for about 3/4 weeks it's now gone
5. AF like pains, again just until about week 4 now they are gone
6. 'tugging' kind of feeling in lower abdomen
7. No pain in boobs but feel more aware of them if that makes any sense

Hey Bourtonbaby!! Well congrats on your !!! That is so exciting!! My periods were very irregular until i started taking meds and so far the last 2months have been pretty regular to the date!!

well, i'm going to tentatively post on here. i think that i've gotten a couple v. v. v. faint positives. so faint that i'm embarrassed to even ask DH to look at them! so, like i said tentative.

i'm not sure of my DPO, as this is my first cycle after a m/c and my temps and hormones are wacky. but the last possible day of ovulation would have been 9 days ago. whereas FF puts my at 15 dpo?

but as of now, here are my symptoms: v. v. sore breasts, lots of creamy CM, cramping ( i usually don't cramp until the minute AF starts, literally, the cramps and the flow come in unison!) exactly 3 separate waves of nausea my temps are staying above the cover line. i have had them drop a couple times, but never below my coverline. i was hoping maybe the last one was an implantation dip, which would put implantation at 4 days ago. so i'm going to test again in 3 more days. I also have a general 'feeling' that i am pregnant. even though my PMA is beginning to run out a little, and i am starting to wonder. as my CP has gone high and firm, which is usually what my CP does before the b' arrives! my temp did drop again this morning, but the time change may have messed me up a little, and my sleep pattern is off. so i'm not going to temp anymore this month!!!

i also had very sharp pains in my left side (not O pains) that lasted 2 days which i've only experienced during pregnancy!! well, i think that's all! i want this so bad!! praying for my !!!!!!!!!!

i got my BFP this morning, confirmed by bloods.

my symptoms were as follows;

I was getting an positives on the ovulation kit, so I just decided that we would BD on DAY 8, 10, 12, 13, 15.

From day 15, i was getting AF like cramps, until today, still.
A little bit of a cold.
Tiredness.
NO sore boobs.
I am so wanting a piece of steak right now, and for me that is wierd because I hate red meat.
I had 3 dreams in which I got a positive HPT.

I started with night sweats then a light headed feeling when standing up at about 4 weeks pregnant then about 2 days after I started to feel hungry but sick so I tested and what should appear

 

[want2bmommy]

hi i am currently 10dpo and symptoms so far......

stuffy nose on and off, dull cramps (feel like AF is on its way), tugging by belly button, twinges every now and then, and very bad smelly gas (sorry if TMI) but l;ike every 5 mins or so.

anyone else had the same sort of thing? i tested this morning but still a BFN!!!

 

[Zarababy1]

well since having Charlie iv had only one AF and that was on 5th dec so now im on CD 68! for the last few weeks iv been having pains in my right side spoke to GP could possibly be a cyst? anyway 13 days ago it was REALLY bad so i got sent to a&e only too be told i could possibly be Ovulating took an OKP +positve!

Well seeing as I got my last week, I'll stick my symptoms (or lack of) here for you all.

1-7 DPO Nothing really at all....except mega windy! lol
7 DPO Started getting 'twinges' and very cold all the time.
8-10 DPO Again, nothing much, mood swings started so I was convinced the witch was on her way.
11DPO - Light spotting and very faint , boobs tender.
12 DPO - More spotting and darker , boobs getting bigger!
13 DPO - Still spotting, on FRER and Clearblue digi 1-2

I carried on spotting for a few more days, and since then have been dog tired all the time. Not to mention the very sore and humongous boobies!! lol

Good luck ladies on getting those s!!!!!

Well I dont know to count myself out this month or not.

From most of the symptoms everyone has described I have nearly all of them but im like that most of the time anyway.

Im always tired
I get fatigue realy easy
Im constantly feely sick
I have very restless sleeping patterns
and I always feel like im getting a cold
(is it no wonder I think every month could be it)

but I work anything from 8-14 hours a day, dont eat right as I normaly dont get in from work till gone midnight and when everyone else is eating im too busy serving it.
And im being tested for anemia
But oh well tomorrow is test day so see if mine mean anything this month
Only thing different from any other month for me this month is constant pointy nipple wich i never have had before

Sometimes people don't get a until a few days after AF is due so don't despair yet.
