The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[MyFirstNoodle]

I have got 2 faint lines on a but dont want to jinx it and get a tickers etc, just yet!!

My Symptoms were:

Literally after ovulation 1DPO I caught OH cold..I had a snotty nose, I was tired (we were also moving house so concentrated on that rather than pregnancy)
I felt like this for about a week!!

The last few days I have been having stabbing pain in my boobs,,,coming from my armpits right through to my nipples, my nipples are sensitive but my actual boob if you squeeze it is fine!! I am feeling really tired but I can't sleep!! I am VERY thirsty and I think thats why I'm peeing every 10 minutes!

My hips and my lower back ache....like I'm about to get and I get like a stretching feeling in my tummy

oh and I have got loads of spots on my face which I NEVER GET! and whoever said "you just know when your pregnant" they were right....I did.....I just knew...there was something not right about this month...I have been TTC for 8 months and every month I would say "oh I think i'm might be pregnant" but was never 100% well this month was just SOOO different, I felt different! But trust me you do sense somethings up!!

Other than that I'm fine!! Good luck everybody xxxxxx

I've been reading this for a while and feel like I could be or I may not be...

Before I was on BC, I had pretty irregular cycles. I always had AF, but it wasn't on the dot every month. Probably ranged from 28-34 day cycle. The last month I took it was Dec. 2009. We've just been 'doing it' whenever we wanted and I would wait a bit to go to the bathroom (15-20 minutes.) Until then, I would just lay there...

AF came Dec. 31st and had a normal one.

AF cam Feb. 3rd or 4th and was also normal.

AF was due-ish on Tues. March 9th but nothing...



I have had a few things that could be symptoms, but not sure:

Tuesday afternoon, the smell of smoke was VERY strong and instantly gave me a headache.

I've been feeling slight dull cramps, a little bloated, less moody than normal with AF.

We went to the mall today, the hubby drove (all interstate) and I thought I either had a migraine or I had motion sickness. Even rolling down the windows didn't help like usual when I get a migraine. Which happen maybe once a month at most. My face is oily and I have normal skin. I also

I felt tired and went to bed at 9:30pm...I'm normally such a night owl. We get to bed around 1 or 2am...it's 5am here and I am wide awake now. I just tested again and BFN. I am only feeling slight cramps...but there is nothing. Not even a spot!

I felt a little hopeful reading about those that didn't get their BFP's until much later...but who knows.

Thanks for this thread. It's very helpful!

***When I woke up I was incredibly thirsty. I didn't read that anywhere, but it isn't common for me.

Hi everyone - I'm so furious!!! I'm 12 days late and have a few signs e.g. spotting, vivid dreams, cramps, bloating, sore boobs, wet CF, but a digital HPT this morning said BFN.

So naturally I'm confused

I'm 50/50 hopeful that PERHAPS my HGC is low so it isn't being detected by a HPT. I mean wierder things have happened, right?

So I just called my GP's practice and the receptionist (who thought she had a mediacal degree) kept telling me there's no such thing as a blood test to check if you're pregnant!! Then she said, "now you need to buy something called a home pregnancy test...." at which point I lost my rag!!

I informed her that HPTs only pick up HGC at 25 mIU/ml + and what if my levels were a bit less than that?

This shut her up and she went to ask the Doc. Apparently he said they don't do blood tests anymore and HPTs are reliable.

WHAT?!??

Am I going mad???? What should I do? Is going private the only option?? XX

CP=Cervical Position

I don't even know if these are signs or not, but I'll post it.

I'm currently 4 days past OV (I think).
OV day:cough
CD 3: lower back pain. (never had this before)
CD 4 (today): runny nose

So I think it could just be that I have a cold, but this lower back pain is weird. Maybe, its just because I am getting old.

i had lower back pay from ovulation & had my BFP two days ago!! good luck hon!x

Thanks Baby dreams 321, I just don't wait to get my hopes up. We didn't get as much BD in as I had hoped. only on ov day & day after ov . How did you lower back pain feel? i figured its way too early to feel anything, But I am hopeful.

I have stalked this site so many times, I am in shock that I am actually able to type my symptoms to help other people (and there aren't many, believe me, I had many more symptoms on my non BFP months).

Background info: I am 21, DH 25 and we've been trying for 10 1/2 months to get pregnant. We have been seriously trying and temping for 5 months. Here are my symptoms:

--First real symptom, vivid dreams. My very first and only BFP dream at 9 dpo, right around a possible implantation dip.

--Rising temps.

--Slightly swollen BB's, which is a normal PMS symptom.

--Big symptoms were "non symptoms"---I had none of my normal PMS issues. I am usually starving, craving food, sleepy, cranky and bloated. I had none of that.

--Feeling a little repulsed by food on 13 and 14 DPO, very very faintly queasy, but that could have been attributed to anything. Also slightly dizzy when I felt queasy.

--Faint, dull cramps at 14 DPO, all last night and this morning, 15 DPO.

--Had insomnia last night, which I usually get the day before AF. Needless to say, that had me worried!

All this looks like more than it was. It was really a drop in the bucket compared to most months. I actually just tested to be sure that I wasn't pregnant---I had no idea I would see two lines when I looked down! I am still shocked!

Congrats!!!! It's weird isn't it. We try to read our bodies, and in truth we don't know until we see those lines in the HPT (or whatever test). Congrats to you! and DH!! Now, I'm curious other than temping did you and DH do anything different this month compared to the previous months?

Thanks for your congratulations! We didn't do that much differently. We did hit our BD window better than before (and It's embarrassing to say, got some good "O's" in, which is supposed to help conception). My hubby has been on L-Carnitine for about 3 weeks, but I wonder if that even had time to start working? And the biggie for me, I really really worked at not stressing about everything. I sometimes even forced myself to get off the internet and off pregnancy forums, to keep from obsessing. I kept reminding myself it was in God's hands, and for the first cycle, I actually was fairly peaceful! (Not that I didn't worry sometimes, and even get a little teary near the end, but over all, I was much better!)

 

[redhairedlady]

I couldn't figure out how to edit the above post, but I have also been taking evening primrose oil for about 4 months now, and recently doubled it, so I think that helped somewhat, too.

 

[dragondrums]

I thought I would go ahead and post my symptoms even though I keep getting BFN but I dont feel my AF coming so will see.
Now I am not sure on exact cd or anything and I have no idea when I would have O, because I was not expecting anything this month being as it was my first cycle after my lo and it always takes me forever to get pregnant but here it goes:
-since at least cd 20(today would be cycle day31) I have had cramping and a dull low back ache.
-feeling really tired but I have been getting up really early like 5am.
-about a week and half agoI had a sore throat and stuffy nose for a day and I thought I was getting sick but nothing.
-nausea that comes and goes
-headaches
-and in the last couple of days I have noticed my bbs tingling.

Well I think that was about it but I think it was pretty much everything, lol. Sorry so long.
