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

[pcake]

Oh and ps- from about 4 and a half weeks i started waking ridiculously early in the mornings, and waking lots in the night. The constant peeing started at about 5 weeks too i guess xx

 

[MonstHer]

in the first couple of weeks of pregnancy I noticed sore breasts,
dizzyness, seeing spots when I stood up, frequent urination and excessive thirst. And basically, just like, a weird knowing feeling. lol!
It had to be that or diabetes!

A week before AF was due BBs were swollen and sore, but just a bit more than PMS usually made them. Also, I started getting constipation that week and had mild cramping. I've never been constipated in my life, so I was suspicious at that point. hehe Other than that no other symptoms before BFP.

In the past week or so, I've had very tender and swollen BBs, slight nausea, bad bloating, using the potty a lot, slight food aversions/cravings, fatigue and still trying to fight off constipation. Hope that helps!

Mine was moodiness, tiredness and sore boobs, unfortunately I also got all of these with AF symptoms. I also had backache.

I didnt get MS til 5 weeks PG and urination started at 9 weeks.

I did just have a feeling though which I cant describe.

TBH I could easily have not been PG as was going by symptoms, during my 10 + years LTTC I can honestly say early symptom spotting was not helpful to me as all my early symptoms felt very similar to AF coming xx

Around implantation (5-10dpo), I had really sore nipples for a couple days. Then that disappeared. Also from about 3-8dpo, I had lots and lots of ewcm. Key sign for me in both pregnancies!

I was about six weeks when i found out with a first response test. I had this wierd feeling in my tummy like I was bloated and full but i ignored it. Then i was two days late and felt little tiny cramps but i figured my period was still coming. I caught a cold that week too so I knew something was up by then. Then this ONE perticular night I peed constantly. I remember getting up and going to the bathroom over and over. The next day the frequent peeing stopped. It only lasted that one night! But I knew then that i was.

5dpo i had an implantation bleeding, 6dpo---> sore nipples and increades apetite! That's my signs and I'm 3w and 6d pregnant Bfp this morning

 

[gingerwhinger]

At 9dpo I got an achey lower back which I really only get the day af shows up so I thought it weird and did a test that afternoon - a faint but def there bfp on an ic. After 15 months of trying I had poas more than my fair share but I just 'knew' it was going to be positive. I even text my fella just before I did the test saying 'bet you £50 I am pregnant for our holiday next week!' and sure enough I was. So achey back for me and just a feeling xx

I'm 4+6 today, though I don't know the exact day I ovulated. Here are my symptoms over the last couple of weeks:

Week 3:

Random severe cramps - was sure AF was on the way
Irritable and moody
Normally just have sensitive nipples before AF but had whole-boob soreness as well, they felt harder and bruised. Also slightly bigger (yay!)
Blue veins appeared on boobs (never had that before)
Lower back ache
Bloated

Week 4: (got BFP at 4wks exactly)

Very thirsty
Needing to pee every hour
Hungry, even just after eating sometimes
Cramps continued until 4+4 pretty bad, lots of twinges and aches, have tailed off a bit the last 2 days tho
Very sore boobs still
Bit of lower back ache
More bloating
Cervix pain

 

[readytogiveup]

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!

when read about the waking at 4am am thinking ooh thats me thanks for that x

 

[Baby1forus]

For me the earliest sign was throwing up everytime I tried to have a cigarette. It made quitting super easy lol. I had a bad lower back ache too, those are the only real symptoms I had until about 6 weeks.

 

[Tobaira]

For me the first sign was light bleeding/spotting after bd'ing. It actually happened the 1st day I got a peak on the cbfm when we bd'd and lasted about 3 days, and then a week later when we bd'd and lasted about 3 days again. I've never had that happen before so I hoped it was a good sign and it turns out it was.
And then this morning (12dpo) I woke up at 4:30am with some light cramping and nausea and took almost 2 hours to fall back asleep. GL

 

[Niamh22]

mine was sore boobs and my nipples actually leaked before my BFP, really tired, super hungry, lower back pain, cramping, sickness and dizziness

 

[Msocwife]

I thought mine were AF symptoms but turned out they were my BFP! I was moody/B*tchy for no real reason, my boobs hurt to the touch, they looked bigger (according to DH), and I had a tiny spot of light brown/pink on the T.P about 1 week before-then i got my BFP and that was only 5 days ago so as of now i still have the sore boobs, i'm peeing A LOT, am more hungry (even after i eat), and have creamy CM. I also had a dream the night before i tested that i got a BFP! Thats about it for now though, won't find out how far along i am for sure until my appointment later today

 

[mrsrof]

My big giveaway was that for about 3 days straight my whole face went really red in the afternoon and got really really hot along with the rest of me. Same time each afternoon! It was so unusual it's what made me suspect. I also had a runny nose and was really tired, but didn't associate this with being PG until after

 

[swanxxsong]

I had mixed feelings before I tested.

I had cramps just like cramps and was convinced I was getting my period.

But I was bloated more than I ever bloat for my period - several unexpected pounds' worth of bloating! - and my boobs were hurting a wee bit more than usual. My temps weren't super-high, and actually they looked as though they may be dropping right before I got my BFP.

Once I got my BFP (11 DPO), I noticed I was hungry a lot more and my skin keeps breaking out - one large pimple appears and the minute I finally combat that one, another one appears elsewhere! And oh, I am exhausted. Non-stop.

Best wishes with your TTC journey!

I didn't know until I was 6 weeks ish, but looking back symptoms were very similar to being due on. Sore hard boobs, sensitive smell, CRAZY moody. Seems strange, I just had a feeling that something was different. Hope this thread has helped you xx

The day before ovulation I had a bad headache (migraine?) and I don't get headaches often.
1-2dpo - nothing
3dpo - present: hollow/hungry/nauseous feeling in stomach (I had this at 3 dpo last pregnancy too!!)
4dpo - present: restless sleep - some insomnia, tossing and turning
5dpo: woke up feeling light-headed and nauseous. Not interested in having my morning coffee. Had to lower my work-out intensity at the gym - felt weak
5dpo - present: on and off cramps in pelvic/lower abdominal area
5dpo - present: increased thirst and frequency of urination
7dpo - BFN (tested this early because of the all day nausea for 5 days straight)
8dpo - BFN
9dpo - very faint BFP!!

I've tested several times since then and the line is getting darker

 

[mj2004]

Honestly pregnancy symptoms for me are similar to AF. However what I did notice was cramping, I usually don't get cramping until af has arrived, and my side bb's hurting. With af usually just my nipples are sore. Also noticed very vivid dreams!

Hope this helps!
