Your Early Pregnancy Symptoms (big help for those still TTC)

[Lilac_cloud]

My early preg symptoms were: Sore hard boobs and brown bleeding for 3 days which then stopped. xoxox

 

[hlynn]

my early pregnancy symptoms were exactly like pms, i took like half a bottle of midol my first few weeks because i thought my period was coming on, not one thing different except i was unusually exhausted and tired besides that the exact same

 

[taytay]

very tierd, heartburn, sore boobs, and af type cramps about a week before i did my first test!

now im just over 4 weeks and getting sickness and faint, plus the above

My symptoms were - crazy hunger, my boobs went up a whole cup size, my face broke out (i haven't ever had a problem with my skin, and now i have spots everywhere, lol) dizziness and nausea! good luck! all this started about 7 DPO =]

 

[avellana]

I had two really clear symptoms (of course I didn't think much about them at the time )
- When jogging at the treadmill, my boobs hurt and I had to stop, couldn't run anymore. Thought I was getting my period...
- Woke up to pee in the middle of the night several nights in a row. Has happened before without being pg so didn't think much about it either.

I had a lot of common 2ww/pms symptoms. What did it for me was the gush of EWCM at about 4dpo. I thought AF was early. Then I was then very wet for a couple days following. I had never had that symptom, TTC or not. I was 90% positive I was pregnant when I had that experience. A HPT a few days later confirmed it.

Very Very strong sense of smell.{I only every had when i was last pregnant on our DD}Then when i got it again after 5.5 years of TTC#2 i knew
Matalic taste in my mouth.
Gassy bloated and heartburn.

Now i have very tender/large/veiny boobs

Baby Dust to all xx

My first clue is always the sore boobs. My first pregnancy I had the sore boobs (now my boobs are always sore with AF, but they are magnified with being prego), smell sensitivity and was very tired, not just AF coming tired, but like x10 and emotional.

So, since I was pregnant before, my boobs now always hurt around day 14 of my cycle for a week (lucky me, huh?), then go away until AF comes. With the 2nd pregnancy, the boobs never stopped hurting after the week mid-cycle, that was my first clue. The second was I was extremely emotional, earlier than I would be for AF and magnified, like crying at funny commercials, emotional.

Anyway, I was TTC for 5 months and was driving myself crazy trying to track all the symptoms on my apps on my phone so try not to become that person, it will only stress you out and stress won't help TTC. Just relax and have fun!

And good luck!

I had sore nipples, not sore boobs (but I normally don't get very sore boobs around AF anyway), and I also noticed that my resting heart rate jumped up about 10 or 15 beats per minute, and stayed constant over several days (that was a big clue for me).

Good luck to all you TTC'ers!

Hi guys! Great thread! Had a question about cm, a lot of you had what seems like a lot of cm starting early on, is there anyone who didn't get that? Or did it come on later in the 2ww?
Thanks!

 

[Hooblet]

My symptoms were exactly the same as my af symptoms - sore boobs (maybe a bit worse than usual, but they normally are quite bad so I didn't think anything of it), period pains, mood swings The only difference, looking back, is how tired I was - about a week before I took my test I slept for about three hours on a Saturday afternoon - not like me at all!

I had EWCM while I was ovulating, but since then hardly any. I didn't have any cm in the 2ww, and none at all since I've found out I'm pregnant. I think I might worry now if I got some! It seems to be more usual to get it than not, but I guess it's different for everyone xx

 

[chelsey123]

I have had NO symptoms what so ever!
No cramps, no tiredness, no sore BBs, no different CM. NOTHING.

So if you have no symptoms, still be positive!

Wow, this has been so helpful! I only just got my and now I know that everything I've been going through is normal!

I really thought I was out for the month, as I always get crazy pms/pmt symptoms and am also an ltttc girl with pcos and endo.

* cramps. Started in my ovaries at ovulation but it was my first month on clomid. Then a week before af, started getting af-like cramps: this has happened to me many times before so I thought it was a bad sign. Only these cramps were stronger than my usual pre-af cramps. Still got them a bit. I'd put this as my main symptom
* Very hungry. My appetite could not be sated. Thought it was unusual, but I had been sick a few weeks before and thought I was just gaining back what I had lost.
*sore bb-- but I always get these before af. started maybe 7-8 dpo
* tired. I started falling asleep earlier and then on 13 dpo fell asleep in the afternoon. Took a nap yesterday at 14 dpo and again today without meaning too!
* 15 dpo (today) having twinges in my cervix. Lighter and fewer af cramps, but still there.
* feeling like I need to pee-- with the cervix twinges almost feels like a bladder infection!

I have serious stomach problems which I've had since birth but no nausea for me yet! Just the hunger, which has started to go away.

Hope this helps!

Well congratulations to you all!! And thanks for the responses.

I had way more symptoms the first week after ovulation than i do now.
The biggest tip off that something was up was that my ovulation cramping that usually only lasts a day or 2 never stopped, and still hasnt. Plus from about 1-4dpo i had unbelievable amounts of watery cm, and insomnia.
But now other than the cramps that still havent left, i have no symptoms at all...boobs still dont hurt still dont smell lots and still dont pee lots. And both my other pregnancies were awful already by now. so every pregnancy is diff! good luck!

Every month I would be sure I was having pregnancy symptoms. But they were always just PMS. This time, I had CRAZY exhaustion, diarrhea, bad vertigo, hot flashes and the sides of my boobs (armpits) hurt.

 

[bananaz]

I had some mild PMS-type cramping around implantation (~7DPO) and then REALLY bad gas pain a couple days later. The boob tenderness/swelling didn't happen until after I already had a BFP.

 

[chmory]

From 8/9dpo-12dpo I had some on/off cramping and tugging feelings. Similar to af, but more all over and less intense/painful. It didn't really hurt it was just kind of uncomfortable.

Ever since my bfp, I've had no symptoms. The only thing was a large glob of ewcm today (15dpo). Other than that, nothing. No sore boobs or anything like that.

 

[Mjm073]

I usually get sore BBs before I start AF and I didn't get that before my BFP. I had super vivid dreams and still do, cramping like AF was starting, and extreme dizziness. Also had a lot of EWCM.
