If you got headaches in pregnancy, how early did they arrive?

Hello! I know the answer to this is go and get a test really, but I am putting it off! Anyway, I got my first period after BF for some time 31 days ago. So I suppose officially I'm late, except that obviously my cycle could still be getting back to normal. Thing is, I've had mild headaches, for the last ten days or so and have been feeling mildly nauseous, although I often have the latter as I have very low blood pressure.

Anyway, I got really bad headaches in my last pregnancy, but can't remember when they started. If anyone is out there who got headaches in early pregnancy, can you tell me how early they started for you?

I think I'm doing that thing when I really want to be pregnant (although it would be quite terrible timing as about to have an interview for an AMAZING new job!) and so am looking for symptoms, and need a sanity check! And I suppose I don't want to test and be disappointed, when I could just wait for my period to turn up. It would be an almost immaculate conception as well, a combination of withdrawal method (I know, I know) and then not using anything after the time I thought it would be possible to get pregnant, based on end of EWCM mid cycle and approaching when my period would have been due, IYSWIM! Needless to say, wouldn't have done this if it would have been a complete disaster to be pregnant!

With me they started at seven weeks.

Do a bloody test and stop being a wuss. Testing won't change the result.

I got headaches from day 1 (I tested day period was due!) to about 20 weeks and still get the odd one (am 30 + 5)
Not prone to them beforehand....

Hello! Just caught up with this thread and saw your answers! I did a test and .. not pregnant. . Still awaiting the job interview. If I get the job, it doesn't actually start until much later in the year so have decided that in that case I will put of TTC as otherwise I'd start the job and then go on maternity leave a month later. Which would be a bit weird and maybe a bit wrong from my potential employer's point of view! But it's going to be REALLY HARD waiting and I'm thinking of banning myself from Mumsnet as it makes my broodiness worse! Thanks for your responses!
