The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[SarahMelissa]

Hi symptom spotters

I know i have posted a couple of times since my bfp back in october letting you know that i had no symptoms, but just thought i would let you know again that i still dont have any symptoms and im nearly 15 weeks now.

So dont get too hung up over no symptoms, i know i used to think if i had no symptoms i couldnt be pregnant, but i have most definately proved myself wrong!

dust to you all

My lips were really, really dry. And constipation. That's it. I tested on the day I expected my period and got a positive. I had no other symptoms until I was closer to 6 weeks. It started with slight queasiness and progressed to sore breasts and full on nausea/vomiting within a week. Now at 8 weeks I get nauseated in the evenings and my breasts seem to only be sore at night.

It took us 8 years to conceive and during those 8 years I imagine I had every possible pregnancy symptom leading up to my period. I had sore breasts, nausea, stomach troubles, etc. And each month would be something different. It got to the point that I knew almost to the hour when my period would start because I was that in tune with my body. So my main "clue" that I could be pregnant was the fact that I didn't have any of those signs. Plus, we had done an IUI procedure so I had reason to hope. It is just so different for every woman.

I won't say "just relax" because oh how I hated hearing that! But I will say don't give up!

So, I too am new to this whole forum thing. I never thought I needed to be cause I have a bunch of kids already. Who thought I would want more?

So, my man and I decided we wanted one more, to get all of our babymaking out the way before we are 30 (I will be 29 next month) and so we began....

I thought that since it has always been relatively easy to have kids for me, I would let you know how I did it this time:

We began as soon as my period was over. It usually last between 5 and 7 days for me (ridiculous, I know), so it was important to begin right away.

It happened on the first try. Basically, (it's gonna be a little graphic) we had sex every night, as opposed to the every other night they usually recommend. And we did it at night before bed. And to keep it fun, we did different positions every time, but always ended up with him on top to get as much "goodness" in there as possible. And then it was time for bed, making sure everything stayed up in there.

On 7 dpo I was feeling sick. I had some wine the night before, and it usually never makes me feel bad after. I slept all day long and didn't eat much.

On 8 dpo I saw some serious veins on my right breast. This is unusual cause it has never happened before in any other pregnancy.

On 11 dpo I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Also I had a really horrid nights sleep, waking up at 4 am.

I went to Walgreens and bought a test, and there was just the faintest line. So faint, it makes you wonder if it's real. According to the directions, any color means YES. Just to be sure, I went back and got a digital one so there was no confusion. Still a go!

So, pretty much, it's possible, so long as you and "Daddy" are on the same page, and you research what the best options for you are, and you keep in tune with your body.

Baby dust to all!!

Hi Ladies,

I just got my BFP and haven't had any symptoms at all yet. The only noticeable thing was a lack of sore nipples that I usually get straight after ov. However, that's also happened in other cycles and I've not been pregnant.

[want2bmommy]

Very random!

Hey I am 11dpo at the moment and normally have a 13 day LP so due in a few days. I did test 9dpo as DH and I were spending time in a Spa and didnt want to get any treatments that would be affected by me being pregnant. Of course got a

Yhe first few dpo (I use CBFM) i had definite twinges in lower left hand side for a fee days. I thought my (o)(o) were alot more sensitive but now I poke them all the time so have no idea. The sides are sore but I think I have them all the time (I am 34EE) so they are huge anyway

Post ovulation my CM was dry but I think that was becuase I also used softcups this cycle and it dried me out???
I have been really tired this month but more so recently where I have been taking 203 hour naps and sleeping full nights. Other symptoms include:

I had weird dizzy spell sitting at mum's around 4pm yesterday. I moved to look at the other sofa and my head felt light. This was something that I had more and more as my Ectopic Pregnancy progressed so a little concerned and need to monitor this.

On another note- not as much twinges on either the left or the right side anymore.

Did have 2 glasses (small of wine) with lunch at Spa place and then two more with Dinner about 9 hours later. I know it isnt much but I hope it is ok.

DH says Nips have got bigger when we were this morning. Not sure he knows what he is talking about LOL.

CM is creamy and sticky so not sure what to put on monitoring. It is also yellow- (TMI to follow) when I gave myself "o" - there was a lot of discharge which wasn't there when DH and I were Bding?

Stalk my chart- my temps are high the past few days. What dya all think???

sounds promising! im 2 weeks late and still BFN!!!

want2bmommy- wow! Have you tested using those really sensitive ones? I think most ladies here recommend frer? On another note. My SIL was pregnant with my niece last year and she didnt get a single positive at home or the docs. We now have a happy healthy wee one! Fxd for you. Any major symptoms for you? Have you been this late before? Do you temp or monitor anything else that may suggest you are pregnant?

 

[Minimin]

Oh and I should add to my list of symptoms- Sinuses are all over the place- the last 1.5-2 weeks. I have not had problems with sinuses since pre- Ectopic as I have essentially given up I feel like a cold is coming on but hasnt really transpired?????

 

[Midamami]

So, I notice than many of you are talking about your symptoms ( or lack thereof) and I wondered what any of you did to get those symptoms? I mean, what do you all do to try and get pregnant? Anything special in the way of what you're taking, or what you "doing?"

 

[My bump]

Well this is my 1st time posting in this thread. I am now 10dpo and have a few unusual symptoms for me.

sore nips (normally get this b4 ovulation not after)
lots of clear and white mucous
really bad period pain, which I never get since having my 2 year old
nothing tastes right
feeling really hungry
got quite emotional a couple of days ago
cant stop sleeping

All these things sound pretty good when reaqding them back but could mean nothing. Just thought I would post them incase someone else is feeling the same in any way. Going to do a test tonight if oh remembers to pick one up.

xx

 

[Minimin]

My Bump-
sounds promising. I have had that weird taste thing on and off this month too.
Good luck with testing and keep me posted. I am 11dpo and not ready to test. Already tried 9dpo and wanted to wait as that was a
Good luck and lots of

Hi Ladies,

Right i poss ov'd on 15th dec which would make me 16dpo. My temps were on the rise until 14dpo when i had a big dip, they have now gone back up. No sign of AF and i tested yesterday (15dpo) and got me a BFN.

However im still feeling very tired, tearful, sore bbs and nipples (which i never usually get with af) food aversions i.e my fave juice and ice cream turn my stomach, sensitive sense of smell (OH's aftershave that i love, smells grim and off talcum powder mixed with curry powder amongst other things) heartburn, more bowel movements than usual, frequent urination (today only but i havent drunk much) nd since i ov'd lots of creamy cm.

Im really fed up and frustrated no sign of AF at all feel free to nose at my chart... and any opinions would be grateful! :S

did you test? x

 

[raindrops009]

My symptoms:

AF cramps but no period, and normally i just get them when i'm on not before.
AF is 5/6 days late.
I had bleeding 10 days before AF was due, but i'm not sure if that was because of my UTI infection or something else. Was definately not a normal AF though.
Feeling exhausted
Headaches
Lots of CM..

Testing today hopefully..
