When does first trimester fatigue hit?

[WantsALittle1]

Just wondering when first trimester fatigue starts hitting, so I can anticipate whether it will be before or after my upcoming midterms and finals.

I'm 3W3D today (BFP on CD8)!

Would greatly appreciate your help, ladies!

Ive been fatigue since my bfp, which was 9dpo or 3w5d. There has only been two or three days when I have felt pretty normal. I am still very fatigue now at 10+ weeks, I think its come back.

I've been feeling it for just about a week. But everyone is different. Last pregnancy I can't say I really noticed it much in first tri.

 

[LAenne]

I started feeling really tired at about 5-6 weeks.

 

[MrsClark]

I started feeling exhausted about 7dpo I can sleep 12 hours a day and still be wiped out

At 3weeks the fatigue hit and it hit hard.

I've felt it since before my BFP. Probably around 9 DPO or so...

I am 6 weeks and for the past 2 days I can hardly keep my eyes open.

sorta jealous of you all! i just got my BFP Friday and I cannot sleep to save my life. Friday night: 4 hours, Saturday night: 3 hours. i'm totally wired... no idea what this is :/

poppy seed seems fine: my BFPs are getting darker and darker the more I test, but for some reason I'm wired instead of tired.

I've been super tired with this one since before we found out for sure we were preggers. I remember being tired with my son but this one is a whole different ball game! I'm about 7 weeks now (waiting for my dating scan) and I totally feel like a zombie, even with catching naps whenever I can! Best of luck to you!!

I know how you feel, for the first couple of weeks after my bfpi would go to bed after midnight, and then I would wake up before my alarm...sometimes 4am other times 5am. My fatigue is starting to kick in, I'm 7wks now.

It hit me hard at about 6 weeks and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere fast. All I do is sleep these days

 

[AngelofTroy]

I am exhausted all the time and have been since about 5 and a half weeks. However I wake up really early most days, at 4 or 5am and lay there wishing for sleep. I went to bed at 8.30pm last night I was so tired.

It doesn't help that I've got a stinking cold on top of the nausea and fatigue. Off work again today but I think I would be even if I wasn't pregnant. I feel like death.

Hi Hun,

I've been extremely tired since before BFP (12DPO). I'm still feeling very tired now and finding if I don't have a nap during the day I can't keep my eyes open after 8:30pm!

I was the same with my last pregnancy until I was about 12 weeks!

I guess everyone is different. So far I've felt very energetic, apart from about 3 nights. Annoyingly I've also been waking early / waking during the night. I reckon just enjoy the energy as long as it lasts - I'm trying to get stuff done while I still feel up to it

[Elhaym]

Fatigue was one of the first symptoms to hit me. Got my BFP at 3w4d and the tiredness started soon after not long after I hit 4 weeks. Soon I struggled staying awake past 9pm, earlier some days! x

 

[susan_1981]

I didn't start feeling tired until about 7-8 weeks x

Feeling exhausted was my first sign something was different this cycle. I must have been around 10dpo when it really hit me. It hasn't stopped yet.

Mine started a day before my BFP, around 12-13 dpo... just total exhaustion. The funny thing was, I wasn't going to tell my parent yet but my mom guessed from some status updates I posted about passing out on the couch! In both her pregnancies she was completely wiped out for the first 3-4 weeks. Go figure.
