Have been reading about "early" pregnancy symptoms but not sure how early these can normally start...

Think I'm now 1 dpo so just wondering what sort of symptoms I may start to notice whilst I'm getting through the 2ww (if it's been our month for a bfp I mean!)

Some people say that they go to the toilet alot more, get headache, feel dizzy, veiny or sore boobs.

In my tww, the only thing I got was overly emotional but two very stressful things happened before my bfp's so it's only thinking back afterwards that made me put two and two together.

Good luck :)

It's unlikely to feel any symptoms until at least 6dpo.

I noticed that on 7-8dpo (I wasn't tracking ovulation so can't be 100% sure about dates) I was hit by utter exhaustion for no reason. I remember sitting at my desk at work, yawning all day and barely being able to keep my eyes open. It wasn't just a 'normal' tired, but just complete fatigue - it was really odd.

A few days after that my colleagues noticed I was going to the toilet all the time and of course, when they highlighted it, I became really aware of it. I was needing a wee every few hours - not huge wees obviously because of how frequently I was going, but I was always getting the urge.

At about 13/14dpo I looked in the mirror without my bra on and my boobs just looked a little bigger. Not huge amounts but enough to make me notice.

I got my BFP the next day Smile

Both times I felt very bloated and need to burp and fart a lot (sorry TMI!)

Only symptoms I got though until 6 weeks when I started puking and didn't stop until I gave birth Angry

Thanks all, did any of you get implantation bleed and if so when?

I was bloated and generally run down, I had some spotting (not sure if it was implantation) about DPO 16.

I didn't get the typical 'implantation bleed' when the fertilised egg first attaches to the endometrium lining and apparently only 15-20% of women do.

I had some old/brown blood appear when I was 7 weeks pregnant and again when I was 10 weeks and I was told it was a result of blood being shed as the egg burrows deeper into the lining.
