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

[Trying4Angel1]

my difference was itchy nipples, and some slight insomnia- i was waking up at 4am for about an hour every night (about 4 nights) leading up to my BFP. I didnt really have cramping but I had a weird pain in my left side that radiated in to my leg. Other then that my usual PMS symptoms took a hike. No spotting or implanant bleeding at all! Good luck, fx'd for you!

Mine was my temperature was through the roof !! And I was getting really bad pressure headaches that I don't normally get combine that with the constant nausea I knew something was up !!

 

[jk28]

My main one was breathlessness & feeling light headed!! It took me a while to work out why this could be!! Also feeling slightly nauseous if I hadn't eaten for a while & being a bit picky about what I wanted to eat, (very unlike me)!! Also period type pains.

Lots of luck

I have very irregular periods so I wasnt expecting to be pregnant though I had wanted to be for a long time. The first hint that something was up was my sense of smell went mad! I didnt have any nausea until week 7 and then it was all day sickness. I didnt have any sore boobness until very recently (31 weeks) so everyone is different.
Goodluck

I had mild cramping off and on (similar to AF cramps, but different), also had some sharp pains occasionally similar to Ov pains... and my CM never dried up like it normally does... and I started to get tender BBs (which hadn't happened in months)...

Honestly, the ONLY thing that really made me wonder though was the CM? As that had never happened to me before... I've had sore BBs before- used to get them ALL the time... and the cramping wasn't a huge sign as I'd been taking Clomid and wasn't sure if that was a side affect or not (cause I'd had mild cramping the month before and got BFN)....but my BFP month was different and more often.

Best of luck to all you TTCr's!!!!

I have to say, I feel silly that I 'symptom' spotted in the 2ww before because I honestly didn't get any symptoms till week 5 or 6.....the only thing that I would say changed for me, was about 3 days before my BFP I had to get up in the middle of the night to Pee (which I NEVER had to do before)...Good Luck

My symptoms were weird. The day of implantation, my digestive tract went crazy lol. TMI - but I was running to the bathroom every few minutes, and was suuuuper gassy I got my BFP the next day (9dpo), but at 10dpo, I started having the weirdest flushy feelings. Like I would be walking, and suddenly I felt really hot and dizzyish, but at the same time it felt good. I don't know, it's really weird and hard to explain, but I've had it on and off since becoming pregnant, though I've never experienced it before this. Good luck!!

Sore boobs was the dead giveaway. They don't get sore before my period so I knew something was up! Starting getting sore early, like 6 or 7 DPO

 

[marycotter567]

My early pregnancy symptoms were pretty much the same as when you're about to get your period - sore breasts, some bloating, slight cramps. But the big giveaway - body temperature is higher than average.

Mine were exactly the same as my PMS each month. The only things that were different is I didnt get my usual pre-AF spotting and my temperatures stayed very high.

• Being distratced, daydreaming
• Weight gain for no reason (6lbs)

I don't know if this willl help, but I had NO pregnancy symptoms at all! I am an LTTCer too, so I had become quite an expert at symptom spotting.
I felt like I had felt in every other cycle - the usual AF type cramps, no nausea etc. So much so that I even drank some wine because I was so sure I wasn't pregnant.
Since I had an IUI, I knew when AF was due. AF didn't show up that day. Then the next day, my nipples felt sore to touch. That was the only reason that I tested - missed AF and sore nipples AFTER AF was due.

I wanted to add, I am past 12 wks now, and I have no symptoms so far, except sore boobs (that too on and off).
So my advice - don't give up, even if you feel AF is here for sure. Good luck to you, I know how painful this journey can be...

So many possible symptoms but mine were slight feelings of ickiness, really struggling to work out what I wanted to eat, yet feeling less sick if I managed to eat, backpain and mild cramping which felt milder than PMS cramps. I spotted for a day (which was implantation) and my bro spotted it when I rejected a hot cross bun. I found out when I was 4weeks and 3 days and I guess I had had symptoms for a bout a week or so.

Good luck I hope you get these symptoms soon xx

I had ivf and I had brown spotting at 8/9/10 days past my transfer and thought it was all over, 2 days later got my bfp, since then (i'm now 5w 3days) i'm soooo bloated every couple of days and have sore (.)(.), but that's it!

 

[KatieKoopa]

My only early pregnancy symptom was gassiness! Other than that, nothing was different for me.

 

[LoPanda]

My biggest one was crazy sore boobs and not just PMT boobs - they were so sore I had to wrap fluffy blankets round myself to stop them hurting touching the sofa!! x

 

[Nightnurse]

Than you all so much,I do know that everyone is different but as some of you know that seeing other's symptoms will give you some kind of hope that a BFP can be achieved

 

[sequeena]

Sneezing/general cold like symptoms.

That was it. All my af symptoms were the same but were obviously pregnancy symptoms, I just never clicked on until I was a week late.

Hi there!!

Of our 3 months ttc, the month i got pregnant i had the least symptoms of the other 2 months. I had no cramps at all (apart from v light cramping at 7 dpo, and a tiny bit of light pink cm that day, i got a v faint bfp the next eve, and a v def one the next morning so that was implantation bleeding and cramping i think!!) and my boobs were sore but only around the sides, which quite a few people have said on this forum. That was it,apart from i felt like i had a bit of a cold from a few dpo, til around the time i got bfp.

My CM became sort of sticky and v slightly lumpy (which iv read is common in early pregnancy,its cells breaking down in preparation for baby i believe) and was milky at other points.

These were all the symptoms i had before bfp, and after bfp they stayed the same, they didnt get any worse til about 5 weeks, when nausea started, then 6 weeks full on ms started. From 5 weeks til now my boobs became soooo sore,they tingled at points, and other times felt like they were being stabbed, it was horrible!!

That was it, really. Felt quite tired from about 5 weeks, and the tiredness has got quite alot worse in the last 2 weeks. But overall id say i had a lot less ''symptoms' then the previous 2 months, so not sure if i was just reading too much into things those months or if they were related to my period. But iv read quite a few ladies say the month they actually were pregnant was the month they had the least symptoms.

Anyhow, sorry if that was a bit rambling but i hope it helps, and i wish u lots and lots and lots of luck and really hope u get ur bfp soon. xx

I'll just post my list 'cuz it's easier that way....

4 dpo very light cramping
5 dpo same
6 dpo same
7 dpo increased cramping; very hungry, bloated, constipated
8 dpo cramping through the roof! Very hungry, bloated, constipated. Frequent urination, fatigue. No energy at gym; had to end workout early.
9 dpo more bad cramping, convinced AF is about to arrive. Extreme hunger, bloated & constipated (will it ever end??) Peeing every hour (at least), fatigue. Short gym workout; no energy
10 dpo cramps not as bad, very hungry, bloated, constipated. Constant peeing, pretty tired
11 dpo lesser cramps, hunger, bloated, constipated. Peeing at least once an hour, tired. Left breast getting tender
12 dpo mild cramps, hunger, peeing. Bloating & constipation not so bad. Left breast tender
13 dpo no cramps, but getting a flu-like feeling in my abdomen (feels like muscle fatigue). Still hungry, but bloating & constipation is down. Peeing all the time; a little tired. Both BB's sore
14 dpo evening cramps, incident of flu-like muscle pain around noon and again a little later (no other flu symptoms). Not as hungry, but still more than usual. VERY sore BB's! Peeing like clockwork, bloated but no longer constipated (thank you, Lord!!). Went to bed an hour earlier than usual
15 dpo infrequent mild cramping, hunger not so bad. Peeing like there is no tomorrow. Did the q-tip test, came back clean. Very short gym workout; no energy
16 dpo little to no cramping. Hungry, peeing, sore boobs. Clean q-tip. Took test.

I'm now 5+4, or 24 dpo, and everything is still the same. The peeing, sore boobs, sporadic cramping, HUNGER. The latest difference is I wake up several times a night to change position

It was my 4th Clomid cycle, the first using 100mg instead of 50
