Early pregnancy symptoms

How early and what did you feel?

Just curious.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

Honestly, I had absolutely no pregnancy symptoms. It was a great surprise though.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

Some serious bloat, cramping in the lower abdomen and gas I had it with DS and with my last pregnancy which resulted in MC. The month after the mc I felt all of the symptoms too, but that may have been my hormones still being out of whack......I had them early, before AF was due.

Now I try not to focus on any sympoms b/c it easy to get ahead of yourself and make yourself nuts.

Eta: I should also add I had these symptoms for the first few weeks of PG with DS, but then felt nothing for the rest of the 1st trimester. I always thought maybe i'm not really PG.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

A few days before my bfp I noticed a lot of things were making me gag and I was really tired. I didn't think anything of it. I was actually really surprised to get a bfp!

Good Luck

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I just had sore nipples! I was also a little more tired...but that was it.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

i felt nothing no af and no preprgn symptoms i only wanted pickles and i hate pickles but then again it could have been my mind playing games

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

Never been pregnant so I can't say but boy oh boy is my mind playing tricks on me!!! I am only 1DPO and I feel like I am 9 months pregnant already

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I can fall asleep anywhere I sit still for more then 10 minutes, my nipples are so sensitive, and that's about it for now. I am only about 3-4 weeks. My body played a mean trick on me, I had a stomach virus right before I got my BFP.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

most women do not experience symptoms until week 6 or later.

for me i had NO symptoms other than cramping (which for me was normal after ovulation) until week 8.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I'll bump my post from my BFP - I had A LOT of cramping early on but I was so used to being disappointed I wasn't 100% sure I was pg.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

Here is my post from July 07:

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you please share your early symptoms?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This month I took vitamin B-6, used pre-seed as I approached O, drank pink grapefruit juice all month long, green tea from AF to ovulation, BD every other night until I saw EWCM (which was way before I O'd) - then every night - so every night from CD12-17. I kept my hips elevated and stayed still for 30-45-minutes after BDing.
Also, I tried to relax and have fun during 2WW! (I wasn't going to go to a bday party at a bowling alley b/c I "thought" it was interfere w/ implantation (I know, I'm crazy) but I decided to go anyway and have fun instead of worrying about the "what ifs")

Symptoms were cramping all during the 2 wks. Which I def. have throughout every 2WW, but this time there were 2 days that I had almost painful cramping for pretty much the entire day (CD3 and CD9).
I was extra thirsty (which is how I felt the first time I was pg) and tired. I had sore breasts for a few days but not much more than I normally do before AF (only it was a good week before AF).
There were a few instances when a smell made me gag for a few minutes straight (that happened the last time I was pg when I smelled tuna). And, I've been a little extra hungry (the other day at work I had a huge pasta dish for lunch at 12:30PM, and by 3PM I ordered a sandwich because I was starved). Plus, I've had cold symptoms - sore throat, sneezing, etc. Oh, and restless sleep - this happened to me last time (I couldn't sleep through the night). On CD10 I woke up at 4AM (normal wake time is 6AM) and my temp was 98.6. This was def. a sign for me.

Wow, now that I type this out- I sure did have symptoms (but again, I think I have all of the above to some degree during the 2WW it was just the intensity and timing that was different).

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

With my DD, at about 6dpo I started having night sweats, food aversions, as in absolutely nothing would satisfy me, it all tasted bland, and my metabolism started revving up like I had never known (most get constipation, I got the opposite). I also started getting weird, vivid dreams.

With this pregnancy, not a single symptom. Nothing, nada... a few days after my BFP the symptoms kicked in though.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

A few days before my BFP, I had a strange rash on my chest and arms. It could totally be unrelated though. I also started to get an upset stomach (gassiness!) right around my BFP.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I really only felt that my boobs were growing!!! They were killing me and just so round lol...I knew something had to be up! At that point I wasn't even late for AF but tested and it came out positive.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

It was the same thing that I have right before my pd.
I had horrible period cramps, and was running to the bathroom with tampons every 10 minutes, waiting for a big blow.
Very sore bbs.
My whole body was "fuller." Not in the belly area...just all over. Very bloated.

I also had diarreah
which I'm not sure if that was in any way related to being pg.

I was also very tired. That is how I knew....we went for a bike ride and I couldn't get down the block.

I never had morning sickness, but that means nothing b/c I miscarried anyway.

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I'm 5 weeks now and have no symptoms. I'm bloated (I had a belly to begin with) but that would be normal for me waiting for AF. I totally don't feel PG, but my BW numbers say a totally different story

Re: Early pregnancy symptoms

I got a BFP at 12DPO and before that I was SO tired (I actually thought I had a hangover that lasted a week ) and my boobs hurt so bad that I got a massage and had to leave half way through because laying on them was KILLING me.
