I am LTTTC and every month am comparing PMS symptoms with PG symptoms,and am hopeful that I will get my BFP soon and would appreciate it if you would share your early (before your BFP and a few weeks after) PG symptoms with us it would be a big help thanks all :hugs:
 
What tipped me off before my BFP were temp staying high (and getting higher daily), freqent urination and feeling nausea.

I'm now 4+6 and in addition to loo breaks and nausea, I have tender boobs (but only sore on the outsides), and some smells seeming much stronger. I'm also getting AF like cramps on and off- trying not to worry too much about those at the mo but it's hard!

Good luck to you!
 
I normally dont cramp before AF - & when I'm pregnant I cramp before AF is due. Other signs for me - backaches, sensitive nipples (normally never sensitive as I had a breast reduction years ago). Lots of vivid dreams.

My armpits typically hurt before my bb's do when I'm pregnant. After bpf I am hungry often but cant eat much without feeling a little ick.


Good luck to you!!!
 
Mine is not likely helpful but, I had feeling very similar to awaiting AF, sore bbs, cramps, and I had implantation bleeding. Early weeks all stayed the same. I did not suspect I was pregnant but my partner did!

Sorry not helpful!
 
Dear, I had the same old common symptoms. What made me suspect I could be pregnant was the way the stomach crams started. Its not like the regular menstrual cramps. The intensity is less and when it hit, I just want to sit.
Apart from that I had back pain and was feeling extremely tired. I found out about my pregnancy when I was 4 weeks and 6 days along.

people say each pregnancy is different; so dont completely go by what I said dear.
 
With #1 I had itchy nipples before BFP.

Also with both I had small spot of brown blood in mucus at 8/9dpo, followed by BFP on 12dpo for #1 and 11dpo for #2.
 
I had sore boobs/nipples a few days earlier than I would with AF! Also yesterday ( day I got my bfp at 9/10dpo) and today I've been extra hungry especially weird that I'm hungry in the morn before work as I can never usually face breakfast that early!
 
Give away was sore breasts. Never had sore breasts before, so I knew something was up. Soon after unexplained exhaustion and nausea.
 
My boobs were less sore than usual but had af like cramps. My gums bled a few times when brushing my teeth and I had really vivid dreams. Also I had strong sense of smell and craved really spicy food when I dont even like spicy food!
good luck on getting your bfp!
 
Mine is not helpful at all, but I wanted you and others to be aware that each person is very different.

About 4 days before AF arrives I have one day of extreme moodiness. I get cranky and don't want anything to do with anybody. It's weird.

Before I got my BFP I was 100% sure I wasn't pregnant because I had my "moody day." I was crampy like AF was going to arrive. I never would have believed I was pregnant. I am now expecting twins.

I wish you the best of luck!!!! :hugs:
 
sorry i cant be much more help. i felt as tho af was coming a few days b4 as had cramps then af didnt come. didnt have any other symptoms
 
Sore boobs, exhaustion, and nausea were my first signs and my cycle was late so I knew something was up.
 
cramps, lower backache, tingling nipples, nausea, super tired. Also my body temperature was higher than normal starting about 8 DPO (I don't chart bbt, just checked with regular thermometer).
 
A few days before a BFP, I started having very vivid dreams (most of them were horrible). The night before I peed on a stick, I dreamt about having a positive test. That happened in my last pregnancy, too.

I also started noticing that I was FREEZING, all the time. Even though we were keeping the house about 5˚F warmer than normal, I was shivering and wrapped up in a blanket all the time. I didn't feel sick in any other way, so I Googled "Is being really cold a symptom of pregnancy?" Turns out, it can be. ;) Had the positive test dream that night, got a BFP next morning.

Other symptoms for me were PMS symptoms. My PMS symptoms are identical to pregnancy ones. Nausea, sleepiness, sore nipples, light cramping, some cravings, etc. They're so similar for me, actually, that I thought I was just finally getting AF (first one after a miscarriage), and the only reason I tested was because Google said being cold could be a symptom of pregnancy, but its not a symptom of PMS.

Shortly following the BFP, I bloated. The exhaustion didn't get too bad for a few more days. I mostly just felt a little worn out, like I needed to eat or something. But then the full-on exhaustion hit, at around 6 weeks. The nausea was also very light... mostly in the evenings, having a can of Ginger Ale would make it go away completely.
 
Thanks ladies for you replies so far and forgot to say congratualtions on your PG
 
The constant queasy stomach and lack of appetite tipped me off, as this was really unusual for me. Also, AF was 2 weeks late, but I missed AF entirely two months before, so I thought it was just more stress. My boobs are sore and larger, but no more so than when I have PMS. My temperature was a little high, but it usually spikes before AF so I didn't think anything of it. Nothing else, really. Good luck with your symptom spotting!
 
My symptoms were all the same as before AF. Sore boobs, cramping, hungry, lightheaded. The thing that was different for me is that 1 week before I got my BFP I started having dreams that I was pregnant. Anywhere from beginning towards end of pregnancy. But don't think could really count this as a symptom cause don't know of any other women who have had this happen to them.
 
i really didn't have any symptoms until after i had missed my AF.
 
the thing that let me know was the extreme fatigue. that was the only symptom i had for the first few weeks
