The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[tansey]

Never thought i'd be posting these after 16months since a MC.
I don't know what DPO but all probably started in 2nd week of 2ww. My symptoms before the test that I didn't know where symptoms until now were:

• Night sweats (i can have these about 1/2 days just before AF but I had them for days and bad dreams and feeling hot all the time and not just coz of the weather.
• hearburn/acid reflux and gall stone twinges (don't ask!)
• wasn't snappy or emotional
• no backache

THe things that gave it away was the fact that i spot for up to 7days before AF arrives and this month the spotting started late and was only really coloured CM for 2/3days!
DH made me test at 13DPO

Now I have been sleeping badly and woken up 5am for two mornings and my tummy rumbling with hunger. Also had pains and the runs for two mornings. My abdo is bloated and I look like I have a small bump already even when i breathe in (hoping this is just water retention or something). I have had a lot of heat in my abdo and twinges. Boobs still big and tender. I have pain/aches in right hip but this could be the fibroids.

Sorry for the essay but i am so happy!

Sorry just thought of another thing i had - stabbing pains in abdo just now and then Mid 2ww.

Right, like you see I'm 31wks pregnant and I thought I share my pregnancy symtoms with you guys...

Well, lets see...I had NONE! I didn't feel pregnant or anything like that. Not in a million years I thought the test would turn positive.

So all you girls out there spotting symtoms...you might not have any when you get your xxx

ok i am feeling daft posting this but i have been having all the symptoms and o'vd at the right time and bd also the right time - was 2 days late and had the worst AF ever (usually regular as clockwork (have been since leaving BC 2 yr ago) and never late, still feeling really weird though - loving this post and it is keeping me engrossed, could i still get a BFP? sorry if this sounds lame, ttc#1

I got my BFP on Saturday when AF was 4 days late. After months of checking every symptom, I felt pg this time within a week of O. Here are my symptoms:

0dpo - slight pink cm and soreness in ovaries.
6-8dpo - woke up in night with heartburn.
7dpo - pink cm once on TP (sorry TMI). BBs hurt but differently to PMS, more swollen and heavy feeling.
8dpo - pink cm after bm (sorry again)
9-14dpo - woke up every night with heartburn, stuffy nose and sensitive teeth. Felt incredibly hungry at times during the day but didn't fancy food. BBs still hurt, and I think I can see veins that weren't there before.
14-18dpo - heartburn subsided but still woke up every night with stuffy nose and sensitive teeth. Still extreme hunger during day. BBs still hurt, veins definitely starting to appear.
19dpo - BFP with CB Digi.

DH and I are chuffed to bits. This is our first and I'm an old bird (39) so we're keeping our fingers crossed. Things we did differently this month: I drank grapefruit juice - at least 1/2 a pint a day; we BDd with Preseed every other day from the end of AF to 2dpo, I took EPO every day until O.

Good luck everyone. I hope you all get your soon.

I forgot one more thing; DH said I 'smelled different'. He couldn't say how but noticed a couple of times in the 2WW that I didn't have my normal smell. I also thought my pee had a different smell. Must have been all the extra hormones.

Nel I am so pleased for you I too am nearly 39 and having all the symptoms think I tested too early though and got negative result. I have never ever been more certain in my life my eldest is 19.........I am so happy to hear your story though

symptoms for me were that I am use I felt implantation at 5dpo. I suddenly felt a sharp pinch on left side for about 2 seconds. I was in the middle of a deep conversation with my mum, so wasn't at all focussed on my body.

When I tested, it was just for fun and didn't expect a as only 9dpo. I didn't have any symptoms. Today, I'm on my officially AF due date, and the main symptoms is really sensitive boobies. They feel so much bigger already.

Other milder symptoms are some cramping feelings that come on and off, cm abundant and creamy/yellowish colour, maybe increase need to wee (but wouldn't have noticed I think if I didn't know), feeling very hot at night.

Baby dust to anyone awaiting results

Hey all.

Im about 4dpo. Not feeling many "symptoms" other than a few twinges in tummy, very high and closed cp and abundant cm. Im not getting my hopes this month. I felt like a complete fool last month when i had every symptom under the sun only to get a at the end of it all.

Im not symptom spotting much this month. I find it funny that most of the ladies with had very few symptoms and all of us with seem to have all the symptoms.

Right - thought I would finally post my early symptoms on here since I'm 9 weeks on now! This will reassure anyone who has very little symptoms - before expected af, the only things I really had were peeing all the time, ever so slightly sore boobs and crying ALL THE TIME - however, I'm pretty emotional anyway, esp. in the 2wk wait so I'm not sure that was even really driven by the pregnancy!

Any other pg symptoms I've had have come after missed af - and range from really creamy CM, feeling really sick all the time without actually throwing up, nipples getting bigger and darker and sometimes feeling really heavy down in my womb area. Main one for me has been peeing about 10 times a day! Sickness didn't kick in until after week 6.

...So don't wanna get people's hopes up unnecessarily, but there really is sometimes very little to go on in the very early days.

Lots of love and baby dust to all reading this!

Hi Lucy Lu well theres hope for me then because like you very emotional, slightly sore boobs and peeing for England! Although I am going around 20 times or more and thats just at work in the daytime, I am also getting up in the night etc and early morning, this mixed with vivid dreams (I can still see my dream last night) and I need to have ketchup with everything even my lunch sandwich! Too scared to test as had 2 weeks ago with doc I am now scared to do it!

Luv to all and lots of baby dust x x x x

The things that were different this month:

1) i DIDN'T get sore nipples right after ovulation, which i usually do
2) i DIDN'T get a ton of white creamy cm right after ovulation, which i usually do
3) all month my temps were a lot higher than usual - chart wasn't triphasic, just high
4) around 7 or 8 dpo i started getting dizzy. this was my first real sign. never that had before.
5) sore nipples/armpits started around 10 dpo. usually that's when they go away, not start.
6) night after 11 dpo, REALLY PAINFUL af cramps woke me up out of sleep. i wasn't due for af for 4 more days and i never get af cramps early. they lasted about 30 minutes and were awful.

that's about it! i'd say the dizziness and the early, middle-of-the-night cramps were the biggest give aways...

btw...i got my bfp 12 dpo...

good luck and baby dust!!!

Has anyone had any food cravings as early symptoms?

I think my mind might just be playing a great practical joke as I have yet to see that, and is due in 4 days, but I have completely lost my sweet tooth. For me, I'm a daily sweets addict. Chocolate tastes funny to me.

I was out grocery shopping today, and all I wanted was... sauerkraut. Yes, much to my hubby's disgust, I brought it home and started eating it out the jar. I think I even grossed myself out on this one...

No for me as yet but can't stop eating cheese with ketchup and dreaming of babies!! This along with every other blooming symptom ime getting so stressed x x

 

[HayleyJJ]

oh mu god sore lips CHECK

above thread CHECK lol

 

[kermie219]

I always feel silly when I do this but here it goes.....the beginning of this month I got fed up with charting and just stopped. I knew about when I was going to ovulate because it was a date already stuck in my head. Anyway....we bd'd A LOT. Now here I am the day before my is due...and I feel really really sick! I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open and on Saturday night which would be about 7dpo I got one sided cramps and when I went to the loo I saw 2 blood flakes lol never knew what they were till I saw them! But I have to say I feel exactly like I did when I ws pregnant last time and I am trying really hard to not get excited about it but would be very surprised if I wasn't pregnant right now. I also have to pee like every freaking 5 minutes. No reall bb changes except that they feel heavy and seem to be a little bigger......so we shall see tomorrow! hope the witch stays far far away.

Aahhh I feel much better now for getting it all out lol good luck everyone!

With my first pregnancy (7yrs ago) I couldn't eat apples or egg whites. 2nd trimester I had a full feeling constantly and I was always in the bathroom, then later on all food I ate, tasted like soomeone dumped pepper on everything.

just wanted to Bump!

I hate to be a spoiler of symptom-spotting, but really, this month I had fewer 'symptoms' than some of the other non-pregnant months! I've heard that from other women, too, so it might just be one of those funny things for some of us!

Cd11 was my first day of any 'symptoms', and all that I felt was some fatigue (but I had been travelling that day, so it may have just been from that) and tender boobs. I decided to test on cd12 and got my No additional symptoms until CD15 when I started needing to pee more often (especially around 4-5 a.m.!).

So, my only symptoms have been the need to pee in the middle of the night, fatigue (which is probably related to the middle of the night bathroom trips!), sore boobs, and some bloating. HTH!

 

[baby1moretime]

Apart from the obviouse sickness i was getting i had the strongest sence of smell, i remember when i was pregnant with my youngest i would walk into the kitchen dining rm where are dogs slept too and i would gag cos all i could smell was dog i was awful, and the strangest symtom i get EVERY time i am pregnant is..........dont know if i should share as not normal i dont think...i smell of onion down below.. so strange as i dont even eat them that often ever!!
