Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...

My first symptoms were really bad AF cramping.. the worst I ever felt. I just knew then that I was PG even without the test. I was due to get AF in about 3 days at that time and got a BFP that day!

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...

i had a lot of cramping...very bad actually like AF was due any minute. And i had severe mood swings. No sore boobs like most girls get. I tested positive about 4 days before AF was due. Good luck!!

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...

Yes, I tested yesterday and got a bfn I am going to test again tomorrow morning and I have a drs appt thurs, because I have never missed or been this late. I have heard that some woman dont get a positive for a while.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...

I have no idea what cd34 means but a day or so after my period was due (with this pregnancy) I got a BFN but a few days later I got a BFP on one. My first symptoms with all my pregnancies is sore breasts, I mean SORE, which I generally dont get at all with AF.

Good Luck


ETA: The BFP I got a few days after AF was due was so faint, I really wasnt sure I believed it. I happened to have an OB visit the next day unrelated to being pg and he confirmed it.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...

CD34 means its been 34 days since the first day of af's last visit. I usually get it every 24 days. I tested Sat night and got a bfn. Then Sun am I tested at 630am (fmu) and thought it said neg,I left it in the bathroom and my husband woke up a couple of hours later my husband noticed a very faint pos line. Then I tested last night, and the same thing happened. I am going to test tomorrow am then I am going to the dr on Thurs, so one way or another I will have an answer but I was getting a little nervous so thats when I approached you ladies with questions,since you have been through it. Thank you

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

With my first pregnancy I tested twice within my first month my AF was late. I tested again in the second month.. Still neg.--

I was 11.5 weeks when I got my BFP.. from a blood test that I was scared to schedule.. I took a EPT the night before the blood work! LOL.. HTH.. I will cross my fingers for you!!

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

I swore I was getting my period a few times...REALLY bad cramps...then the usual...sore boobs...and VERY emotional. I was watching the movie racing stripes and went into tears like 3 times!

GOOD LUCK!!!

FYI...from what I read on the test instructions...a faint line is a good line...but I would wait to see what the Dr. says.

I went through fertility treatments, so I had to go in for a blood test to see if I was PG. I felt NO symptoms of being PG at all, other than the typical AF cramping, so I was sure that I wasn't PG. It wasn't until a couple of weeks after I found out that I was PG that the sore boobs came.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

i had very sore boobs, that's about it. Got a BFP the day after AF was late with a digital test.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

before both my BFP I experienced AF like cramps but they were way too early to be AF cramps...I had them about 2 weeks before the BFP. This PG I also found myself VERY flaky and forgetful before the BFP (it was to the point where co-workers noticed and asked if something was wrong!!)

No sore boobs, and I didn't get tired till after the BFP.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

Jaimie - I know a couple of people who didn't get a BFP on HPT for a couple of weeks after being late. Also, when I was about a week late and no AF, I called the doctor and was told that it isn't uncommon for the HPT to be negative and to wait a week and test again.

As for the faint line last night, a line is a line. The one your husband saw could have been an evaporation line but if a faint line showed up last night - I would say that is a BFP!

Did you test yet this morning??? Let us know!!! Baby Dust for a BFP!!!!

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

I was on a 36 day cycle and I tested the day after my missed period and I got a BFP and the lines were SO DARK it couldn't be missed. I didn't have too many symptoms, just usual cramping.

Re: Can you tell me what the first symptoms were and...(pls read and answer, more info below) thank you.

I tested with a digital test a week after AF was suppose to show and got a "pregnant" result.
I thought AF was coming because I had cramps and sore boobs. Also, I felt bloated and more tired than normal.
