The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[LorettaClaire]

so i got my bfp this morning at 11 dpo! I'm going to test in the morning again just to make sure, before i feel i can say those words!

The most obvious thing to me was the LACK OF painful bloating and NO back ache which i always get after ovulation!

Sore boobs just near my armpits, and very tired. Taking afternoon naps which is just unlike me.

Oh and a had a cold at 2-5 dpo!

I got my BFP yesterday and I want to share my symptoms with you ladies. I don't post much but I am here often and I've read this great thread way too many times.





So exhausted.( I've been tired ever since I gave birth to my 3 year old but this is beyond tired.)

Very light sore throat that comes and goes through out the day.

Twinges in my tummy but I feel those every month.

Light headed when standing up

Something feels like it's pulling when I stand up too fast from the sitting on the couch.

Very spacey. When someone is talking to me I just zone out. It's bizarre.

I am forgetful and can barely form a sentence sometimes. Just out of it I guess.

Two days before BFP I got in a fight with OH over the laundry basket. lol I broke down and cried like a little baby. I was fine 5 minutes later and felt a little silly. (That was a huge clue for me. I am not like that.)

I am SO hungry. I can eat and be starving an hour later.

I had a NASTY taste in my mouth. It wasn't metallic really but just awful and nothing would get rid of it. It's gone now thank goodness!

I noticed my boobs did not get sore like they usually do before AF.

I have 3 huge zits on my chin. gross.

I am bloated but could be from eating a lot.

I have a dull backache.

4 days before BFP I noticed a very light pink color to my CM when I wiped. It only happened once and I would have never noticed if I wasn't checking for it.

I have had more cm than usually. It's watery/creamy. Everyday it gets more abundant.


So those are my symptoms. I hope they help and I wish each and every one of you a BFP very soon!!!

Sorry I forgot to add hot flashes. OMG this was a big sign for me!! I would be cold and then 5 minutes later I would be burning up. It would only last about 30 seconds to a minute.

I remember this from the last time I was pregnant so it's definitely a symptom for me.

Hi ladies, like spydrmnky26 I haven't posted alot on here but am a avid reader, I had no idea i was pregnant until the day af was due when I cried in marks and spencers because my partner didn't want to come with me to look at bras. WTF!!!!!

didn't want to get hopes up as been trying for 5 months so just put it down to af coming but I think I knew from then as I really don't cry over anything, then 3 days after af due started feeling gaggy and changing dd nappy made me want to be sick. I then did test a got BFP!!

Looking back over the 2ww I didn;t have anything to give away that I was pregnant, in fact I had less symptons then usual.

Good luck with all your future BFP's

OMG i cant believe i am actually posting on this thread

Well i got my yesterday at 11dpo on an IC (i didnt entirely trust it though) but definately confimred today at 12dpo with 2 FRER's and 2 beautiful pink lines.

Anyway just thought i would let you know that i had no symptoms whatsoever......absolutely nothing!!! So just remember no symptoms doesnt mean no

Best of luck to you all

Thats about it!

Hi ladies,

On my first tww, due on 20/10 so I'm about 9 dpo, symptoms have been...

bloated, gassy, acid indigestion, constipated (at times!) cramps low down and sharp pains in my right side, kinda tender bb's but nips feel like they have been rubbed with sandpaper, quite sore to touch and really tired, could put my head on the desk at work and sleep, also quite dizzy!

What do you reckon????????

 

[Tulip]

Hi guys - like SarahMelissa I can't quite believe I'm posting here....

Symptoms according to my blog:

5dpo
Lovely implantation dip.

9dpo
Cramping, one growing left nipple (upwards!)
Sore right BB - usually pre-AF it's just sore on the outside edge - but this month was on the front too.
Veiny bbs noticed by DH (without being told they're a symptom).
Lots of creamy cm.
Muzzy head.
Lethargic - couldn't even be bothered to knit.

10dpo
Cramps.
Tired & lethargic.
One episode of burning itchy right nipple (couple of minutes).
Peeing every half hour in the afternoon.
Stabbing pain in abdomen.
Difficulty sleeping.

11dpo
17 pees in one day!
Still-veiny bbs.
Monster-bitch-from-hell aggression at work

These convinced me I was pregnant, so....

12dpo
on an IC with FMU.
Veiny bbs.
Frequent urination.
Tired.
Irritable.
Low energy.
Bbs starting to get very sore (most likely due to constant poking for the last 3 days).

Looking at them written down like that, they seem quite conclusive - but before 11dpo there was nothing that really stood out.

Hope this helps!
xx

got 2 strong +s today (cd36) still feels a bit surreal posting here.
i definitely want to help the cause, whilst respecting those in the wait:

1. got peaks on the cbfm (which i used for the first time this cycle) on cd17 and cd 18 (average 35 day cycle).

2. definitely started having a metallic/strange taste in my mouth cd27 and lots of gas (both are still going on).

3. felt winded (not the gas kind ) the last few days, even from doing small, everyday tasks.

4. from cd29 - now i've had twinges (almost af or just ran too fast feeling).

5. also spaced a couple of things this last week...like silly mistakes on scheduling.

6. yesterday my lower back was quite sore (pretty convinced at moments that af was coming).

7. nothing different with the bbs.

i hope this helps. i wish everyone the best of luck and send you all tons of


p.s. i'm 36, so there's hope out there for us "older" gals!!!!

Got my today! Only had a few symptoms but some started pretty early on.

- My nipples were quite sore and achy starting at 5DPO which seems incredibly early. I didn't think it was possible to get symptoms until after implantation had occurred, but I guess I was wrong.

- Had implantation spotting at 8DPO which I soooo thought was the witch on her way!

- Boobs got sore at about 10DPO.

I was pregnant in April of this year (m/c at 6 weeks) and my only pre-period symptom was gigantic nipples! Very strange! It hasn't happened this time though, so I guess it's different every time

Great news! Am really pleased for you and SO glad that my note of caution on the metallic taste was unwarranted! (I am 36 and on my 5th month TTC no.1, so thanks for the encouragement, it is much needed!).

 

[NG09]

Can I just ask incase any of you ladies have experienced the same. AF is due on Tuesday, I have been having cramps for the last fortnight, although got worse yesterday, they change from left left to right side. They aren't constantly there, they stop and start. Does this mean anything or am I crazy??? lol

 

[mikababy]

Hello ladies,

Mine were, in order:

• Small sharp 'burrowing' pain in uterus about a week after OV (implantation???)
• Feeling very woozy and giddy week before AF was due (thought it was a cold)
• Crying outbursts
  
• Completely loosing it at the smallest thing!
• Feeling sick, sick, sick
• Losing weight (especially on my bum, hoorah!!)
• Feeling breathless after doing the slightest little thing!

I ignored the heavy veiny boobs thing, as I get that every month and I pee constantly anyway!

 

[vkj73]

guerita, thanks for the kind note

ng09, i really wish i could offer more info on the bbs. mine haven't felt too different yet. maybe fuller? you are definitely not crazy

mikbaby, out of breath has been a big one for me

good luck to all

Im now 19dpo and got my over a week ago, have had it confirmed via bloods and my HCG levels are excellent and i still have NO symptoms. Its just i know some of you get down about not having any symtoms so just thought i would let you know you can most definately have a and not know about it. Sending dust to you all
