What was your first symptom of pregnancy???

What first alerted you to the fact you were pregnant. Was it the missing period, or did something else trigger the "hmmmmm, what if" feeling???
Feeling a bit dizzy and having to go and pee more than usual....oh, and getting spots which I usually never get (well, not since my teens!!)
It started at my SIL's wedding. I didn't get to finish a glass of wine in the whole night. I put it down to the wine being really bad

Then a few days later we were foraging for mushrooms with my husband, and I smelled them well before I could see them. Didnt feel like eating them later -your body seems to know to avoid risky food (?)
Days later I felt like a sandwich at 10 in the morning -not like me! The suspicion started creeping, and when I got revolted by the smell of coffee I decided it was time to pop into boots for a preggie test.
I had a thing with smells the whole pregnancy. Anything with a bit of a fragrance i.e. a lemon down to my spice rack, through certain cleaning products i.e. lavender scented fairy liquid, I found revolting.
Nose bleeds a few days after conception
Nothing at all before AF due. I wasn't expecting to be pregnant, but looking back here were the symptoms:
- On day AF due, crampy back-achy period pain and tearful. Assumed AF was coming. Was EXACTLY the same.
- Following day - tried to run on treadmill (normally not a problem at all) and could only manage 5 mins before coming off exhausted and tearful.
- Day after that - couldn't eat a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. Tasted like poison to me, that's when I knew something was up!
'Normal' symptoms like nausea, tiredness etc didn't really kick in until 5/6 weeks.
bluesnowfalcon / thanks for ur help . going to test just in case . then ill know if it just the pill.as i was only on the mini pill and u start ovulate start after stop.
lee1981 I had range of symptoms and was told that it was normal for coming off of the pill. Also told that syptoms are similar for pg and period but my symptons were about 10 days before AF so not sure what they were connected to - assume coming off pill?!
