How early can heartburn set in??

[zippys]

I will admit I am madly symptom spotting but wanted to check how early heart burn can be a symptom of pregnancy.

I have Had terrible heartburn all day and been off my food because of it.

Think I have at least a week and a half before I can test so am I just going mad!!

[slyandgobbo]

God I had that within moments of conceiving DC3. Almost literally. Certainly within about 10 days I think. And nausea.

[zippys]

thanks for the reply, now really excited!! Don't know how I will manage the 2ww!!

[frankbestfriend]

Heartburn was my very first symptom too, like slyandgobbo, within 14 days iirc.

Good luck!

[McSnail]

I didn't start getting it until about 33 weeks. Weird, eh?

[lazylion]

I got it within days of conceiving, and I got horrible wind too. These are my earliest signs so I knew I was pregnant before I tested. Good luck zippys.

Within a couple of days of conceiving for me 2nd time around.

[Nyx]

Just about from the very start. It was a few days of horrible heartburn for me before I raised an eyebrow and thought 'wait a minute...' and took a test!

[Weegle]

this time round (second pregnancy) almost immediately - shortly followed by horrific sickness I'm afraid to say... am still glugging gaviscon with abandon at 15 weeks. First pg it was about 27 weeks.

[zippys]

Thanks for all your replies, I thought it may be too early but it appears not. Now just need to wait till I can test. (got a bit obsessive last months with poas )

[laurawantsababy]

5 weeks pg with dc2! Im 14 weeks now and its gone a bit.

BTW with this one I 'knew' the after we conceived that I was pg. I was off diet coke, had a funny taste in my mouth and put the milk in the microwave! I posted on here to check I wasnt going mad! 3 weeks later I have a BFP.

Good luck

virtually right away- had it for aabout2 weeks, then it disappeared (though did return later, unfortunately). didn't realise at the time that it was a pregnancy symptom.

[firsttry]

Wow!!! I found this question and the replies so useful. I've been TTC for a good few months now with no luck (this is the first, so all new to me!). I've been experiencing heartburn which has now lasted over a couple of days - and I don't usually get it. I'm now wondering the exact same thing, am I or am I not??? Trying not to get too excited, haven't really got any other symptoms but the heartburn is fairly severe and constant!!....and still have a week and a bit before I can test :-( I too have been madly symptom spotting and this is proving an anxious time now with this heartburn!!! zippys, have you tested yet?

[themachinist]

Oh God, within a week of conception, with horrific belching... and had it terribly - and painfully - for the next 8 months until an hour or so after birth!

I will say thought that since ttc again, i have noticed that i start to get it and other digestive problems in the 2ww. I am assuming it is hormonally linked. Always eases off when AF comes, and I have been conned into thinking i was preg because of it!

Had a pregnancy that ended in M/C earlier this year - didnt get it then, but had no other symptoms at all for 9 weeks.

That said, when i was pregnant it was completely unbearable even in the 2ww. Bizarre.

[zippys]

I have tested but BFN for me this month! I really need to stop symptom spotting as much

Just waiting to ovulate again this month, but have a stupidily long cycle so seems to take forever.

Good luck firsttry let us know how you get on.

[firsttry]

Hang in there and good luck for the next round. I couldn't wait and stupidly did a test yesterday (still a whole week and a bit before I should have!!). It was negative obviously, and definitely too early...so I'll just see how I progress and whether a test is needed next week or not!

Good luck, I'll keep you posted x

[zippys]

It is so addictive I have already spent a fortune on tests and have only been trying for 3 months!

you just think you may just be one of the lucky one that show results really early!

Good luck x

[mumtojennifer]

I'm now 15wk with 2nd and have had heartburn on and off for about 6weeks. No nausea though, thankfully. I only had about 5 instances of mild heartburn with DD at the end of that pregnancy. It's struck me how different it is this time around!!

Good luck to those TTC.....

[Ellsum09]

I've been getting heartburn today and been getting a lot of cramps and back arch last week but not due on for another 6 days so I'm going to do a test in morning but just wanting to know if anyone has got anything like this and then got a BFP or if it's just my head messing with me. My first month of trying and never looked more forward to my period day and hopefully I won't come on, please can someone let me know xx

[Mumto3soon2b4]

I'm about 10 weeks now and pregnant with my 4th and my heartburn started last night. I don't think with my other 3 it started this early. What with feeling sick all day everyday as soon as I get up and now the heartburn. I can't wait for the sickness to stop so roll on 13 weeks

[GirlRacer9]

I've been trying to conceive for a year! Conceived my 1st two very quickly! But not so lucky this time round? 😕 BUT OMG! I ovulated about 4 days ago,& now I'm sat here with terrible indigestion! Eeeek!😬

[JaffaMomma18]

I think around the 13wk mark I started to suffer really bad right up until baby was born, could barely eat and hold anything down such a horrible feeling, I chewed throb packets upon packets of Rennies as they were the only thing that worked and helped.!

[Kakracyn]

It is 4 days to my set period and i have been having serious heart burn for over 5 days, should i suspect pregnancy? i need answers please. thank you

[SamanthaH92]

Before i even realised i was pregnant for me! Feeling sick and bad heartburn which has continued all the way through and is getting worse x

[Kacy27]

Hi everyone!

My first post on here. In 27, I've been with my partner for 4 years. We had sex about 9 days ago, I use a period tracker that said I was ovulating on the day. Ever since I've had really bad heartburn and lower back pain. This could be PMS but I feel different?

But! My partner really struggles to ejaculate during sex and it didn't happen on this occasion. I know I can only really wait to see if I miss my period but is it even at all possible? And did anyone notice signs of pregnancy within the first week or so?

Thanks in advance.

I really need some help and advice, this is my first time trying for a baby so I’m not sure what to look out for. It’s been about a week since we’ve properly started and the last 3 days I’ve been feeling really sick and I’ve not got awful heartburn as well as feeling tired. I don’t know if I’m over thinking it or I can actually get these symptoms this quickly. When is the soonest I can test?
