LOL I'm out of tests! And I swore not to buy any more tests until I was totally sure I could be pregnant!

for those of you who have been pregnant before, whats the earliest time symptoms can appear? what about 5 or 6dpo? i want to know if im going nuts

Honestly, my kiddo was by complete accident. I wasn't planning at all. I knew I was pregnant probably 4 days before AF was due because I went for a two mile run and by the end of it I was bent over having gag reflexes and my boobs hurts so BAD. I'd never once in my life been nauseous from running only two miles so that was a huge red flag. ALSO I could smell the HCG in my pee. It was so strong. I had a second pregnancy a couple years ago but it didn't carry, and I could smell the HCG hormone then too. It was crazy. Those were my first symptoms.

After I found out I was pregnant (still in very early pregnancy) I was irritable, always tired, and sitting in the sun zapped the life out of me.

Any new symptoms? Also, what on earth does HCG smell like?

 

[BabyC4Me]

Good question ! ^^^^^^

 

[puma1986]

Those symptoms were with my first kiddo that I had 8 years ago, so I would certainly hope I don't have any new symptoms, haha!

HCG.... I don't even know how to explain it. You can look it up and tons of women report smelling a change in their urine.

Based off a smell I remember from many years ago, and sorry for the tmi but you asked, it smells very similar to ..... there's no pleasant way to put it.

Similar to sour movie theater popcorn? You'd just have to sort of experience it I suppose to know for sure. It's not really comparable to anything else.

For me, my symptoms for mild. I didn't know until my AF was due and I tested. The week before my period just felt like a bad pms symptoms which was normal for me. When I'm stresses my cramps are worse and my chest gets bigger. I do remember that I felt like my cramps, irritability and boobs would never go away. I don't remember being able to smell my HGC.

It's crazy, honestly! When you guys get your BFP's I'll be curious if you guys can smell the hormone too!

I'm really just bummed about AF today. But, I'm so happy I have you ladies to chat away with time with. I was SO certain I was pregnant. What a serious bummer.

Cramps can be so misleading. Even my Ovia app was like "Hey dude, your reported cramps today. Many women attribute this to their period, but it could also be attributed to implantation" - Or something along those lines.

TWW is 'le'worst!

 

[Bella12]

I agree. It's very interesting. If I get pregnant again I'll have to do a pee smell test.

so sorry to hear abt you AF. thats the good thing about a group like this. you can talk openly about your feelings and stuff.
i havent spoken to anyone really about my TTC journey. sometimes i just want to talk about my fears, expectations, faith and disappointment but there is no one to talk to. i am so happy i have this forum

 

[BabyC4Me]

Ovia is..... misleading!

They will say
"Awesome! Youve reported creamy cm....this may be a sign that you conceived this month!"

I have gotten so excited abut when i enter data and what the app will encourage...but idk...it may be all hyped up.'

But im sure if you put you have a toe nail infection or a a sprained ankle, they would relate that to pregnancy lol


LIKE COME ONNNNNN!!!!!!

Hey there Golden!!!!

Welcome to the lucky BFP thread!!!! we are CLAIMING IT!

Are you really able to smell the chemical in your urine?? Or... was that a joke lol

I cant tell!!!!!

symptom spotting is DEF a flaw many of us can attest to...every little thing...is a sign of ovulation ,implantation, and pregnancy.

Finding a distraction during the TWW is the key.

Do you want a girl or a boy first? any names picked out?

 

[Bella12]

Welcome Golden!

I'm glad you came to join us!

TJ sorry to hear about the ugly AF monster.

I don't know if I'm going to be lucky this month. So much stress at work what type of employment do you ladies have? I'm a teacher and it is the end of this quarter which means all my grades and data is due.

Also, I haven't told anyone that I'm ttc but I'm wondering if I gave it away to my sister. Ugh. I didn't want to tell anyone until I know I have a healthy baby. Lol

See, I'm stressed and scatter brained even here.

Bella!

Teaching is veryyyyyyy time consuming and can be a beeotch to manage.
I also work in the schools, Im a Behavior Interventionist in a emotional/therapuetic support classroom. So trust me....i know about high stress and crisis situations.

A trick that works for me is I go in everyday saying that NO amount of work related stress is worth me jeopardizing MY health or my soon to be baby bean's health.

So i try and compartmentalize things into categories that are top priority and those that do not need my immediate attention.

--->>>How did you sister find out?

I havent told anyone in my family either...becuz i know they will stress me out and ask me every 5 mins if i have a baby growing inside me ...Im not trying to deal with that lol
