For those who had early symptoms

Anyone have early symptoms - as in before your BFP or in the first 1-2 weeks after?
If so, what were they?

I think I am wishing myself into swollen boobs, haha

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I was super-tired & cranky 2 days before my BFP....I went to the Bronx Zoo the day before & kept having to sit down & rest & I was a b*tch on wheels! this was weird for me bc I would run 3-5 miles a day. I thought I had no shot of being pregnant that month bc I had food poisioning around when I was ovulating, but low & behold I tested & BFP!

my boobs started to hurt later in the day the day I got my BFP (I dont know how many DPO it was exactly..but somewhere around 12-14)

Good luck!!!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I was extra tired, cranky, really thirsty, and my boobs were sore. I also noticed more CM than usual. I think I also had to pee more than usual.

Good luck!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

My boobs were sooo sore. So sore. Like it hurt to sleep and that happened very early on, like 5 dpo. Happened both of my pregnancies. They werent necessarily big yet but just hurt. And I had a few nights of restless sleep right before bfp.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

i thought i had zero symptoms, because all i felt were period cramps. I realized later on i was super super tired. but for the most part it was just cramping so i was convinced i was getting AF

but here i am 14 weeks later with a little one inside!!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

Sore throat. Happened both times. That and cramping were my only symptoms.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I had some implantation spotting at 6 dpo, I was pretty tired and the biggest symptom was the MAJOR congestion I had, like the worst I've ever had in my life, it was disgusting. I also had a little bit of a sore throat.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I conceived on a Friday or Saturday, by Sunday my BP dropped from my norm (100/60) to 80/46 (I went to donate blood and it was too low to donate). I googled low BP because I was concerned as to why it dropped and one thing that kept coming up in searches was pregnancy.

Monday night I had a strange dream and when I woke up I knew either me or my sister was pregnant.

Tuesday my boobs started hurting and Wednesday they didn't fit in my bra. I waited until the next Tuesday to take a test (4 or 5 days before my period was due) and it was a BFP. I had to go buy larger bras (annoying since my boobs are giant to begin with).

Also from that Sunday on I didn't want any sweets or desserts, just veggies, and I usually have a HUGE sweet tooth, the thought of sugary things was making me feel sick.

HTH!

ETA: I also slept for "three days straight" as my DH put it and I had totaly mom-nesia. I was forgetting everything (including words).

I find this pregnancy to be funny b/c my first pregnancy went unnoticed for 10 weeks, lol!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I had morning sickness starting at about 10 DPO. Everyone said I had to be pregnant but I thought it was a stomach bug because I assumed it was too early to have symptoms. Other than that I had all of my other normal AF symptoms the days leading up to my BFP.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

i was really thirsty and had cramps. I also felt off like I was getting sick but not fully sick with a fever or anything. I also was getting lots of headaches.
also i couldnt walk up 2 flights of stairs without feeling out of breath. it was like they were 20 flights instead.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I had cold-like symptoms and developed nausea and food aversions around implantation time. Yep, it was so strange and I thought "how can this be? It's too soon..." but it happened and I was in fact pregnant!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

Last time, even though I didn't realize they were symptoms, I was burping a lot and had horrible AF-like cramps a few days before testing. Within a week or 2 of getting my BFP, I had horrible heartburn and nausea.

This time, I had very sore boobs and cramping. I also had a lot of burping and some indigestion/heartburn before my BFP.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I was tired, extremely thirsty, and had a heightened sense of smell each time.

The first time - I really thought AF was coming because I had my normal pre-AF spotting and then it just stopped.

The second time - the same things happened so I kind of knew what was going on.

My boobs hurt each month - BFP or not - so that wasn't a sign for me.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

Before I got the BFP, I suspected that I was pregnant but 2x the tests keep coming out negative. However, I was dizzy and my CM was literally just flowing out of me (sorry for the TMI!, but it's true) and when I relayed my symptoms to by best friend, who is a nurse, she was like "You are totally pregnant." But I still got negative results on the tests. FINALLY, I got the BFP like 3 weeks into testing! Weird! But I guess it took that long for my HCG level to come up.

Good Luck!

Re: For those who had early symptoms

my boobs were really swollen and I was waking up in the middle of the night. Every time I was pregnant I would wake up around 5 and not be able to go back to sleep

Re: For those who had early symptoms

Exhausted, heightened sense of smell and tingly tata's! This started around 7-10DPO.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

Extremely thirsty and I was turned off to coffee, and I LOVE my morning coffee.

Re: For those who had early symptoms

with my 2nd pregnancy (had a mc) I was very tired few days before I missed my AF, also my boobs were extremely sore and was nauseous on and off.
With this pregnancy I had 0 symptoms other than feeling my AF coming (I actually had no symptoms at all for about 6 weeks) I was 100% sure I was out, I even posted on TTC board saying we are out and won't be trying again till early spring, but I missed my AF and I'm currently 13 weeks .

Re: For those who had early symptoms

I was super itchy all over and could not figure out why. A few days later I got my BFP!
