First signs

[Terri055]

Hi everyone
What was your first symptoms of pregnancy and did you feel any of these before a missed period?
Currently on OD11, doing my best not to test early but I have been having really weird dreams the last 5 days or so which is not like me so wondering if this could be a possible sign! xxx

In my first pregnancy, I had 1 huge boob. We’d been trying for about 10months, so I was certain I was pregnant.
In my 2nd pregnancy, I had no symptoms. Didn’t think I was pregnant and only took the test because I’d thrown away the box. That was a shock after 1m of trying x

Hi! I normally have quite boring dreams but I had very vivid, usually scary dreams for a whole week before I got my positive at 10DPO. Other than that, main symptoms were sore nipples, indigestion, being really hungry, and a tugging sensation in my lower abdomen. Best of luck to you!!

1st preg: i had really erect, perky nipples from about 12dpo- not sore boobs at all, just erect nipples ALL the time! I'd been TTC 4yrs at that stage and it never occurred to me to test!

2nd preg: I was constipated before BFP, nauseous and had acute smell. No erect nipples though that time!

Vivid dreams are a symptom of pregnancy.
My first symptom was feeling cold all the time. It was at least 5 days before my official test day (IVF).

Honestly all the times I thought I had symptoms (thinking I was having implantation cramps, pulling sensations, feeling sick) etc. It was all in my mind & I wasn't pregnant.

The cycle I actually fell pregnant, I only suspected because my BBT temperature had stayed high. I had no other symptoms/feelings. That's what prompted me to test, otherwise I would have had no idea until I'd missed my period.

I also felt unbearably cold for about 1-2 days when I’m guessing implantation was. Nothing would warm me up. That’s happened both pregnancies.

Thanks all, it's so strange how everyone is different isn't it! I honestly drove myself crazy the first 2 cycles (we are on cycle 3) making myself think I was pregnant but the mind can play so many tricks on you - trying my best to relax this month and not think about it too much but here I am reading through so many chats and talking myself out of testing early, so frustrating xxx

hopefully my dreams are a positive sign like yours , usually if I dont really remember my dreams but as soon as I wake up at the minute I can remember every detail and have to sort of remind myself that it wasn't real
did you test early?xxx

The smell of coffee and driving the car around roundabouts made me feel sick. That was the start of my 12 week long morning sickness and that was 5 days before my period was due (on both babies). People say you cant get MS that early. Oooooh yes you can lol.

I did test early yeah! Curiosity got the better of me and I did a cheap test which had the faintest second line, then did a first response test which came up positive. Tested again with a Clearblue digital at 11DPO which came up positive as well :)
