Later, when af was due, I had a lot of brown spotting that usually heralds the start of a period. After 5 days of no-show, I did the test and my bfp came up after a few seconds.

Ah, the days before MN, before I knew what 'bfp' meant!

I had an urgent, urgent and frequent need to pee and felt faint (almost fainted, actually. Overpowering light-headedness).

Also on the same day (5 days post dtd that, er ... 'did it') some brown spotting.

Got my bfp about 10 days later Grin

Dd2, who took 2 years and 6 cycles of Clomid to show her sunshine face, turns 2yo later this month Grin Grin Grin

Painful boobs, heightened sense of smell, weeing a lot, af style cramps few days before af, bloating. Hope you get your bfp soon :) I'm currently 5 weeks :)

About a week PO I got a horrible metallic taste in my mouth (I described it as tasting like gas!) Then came the clumsiness and an odd nerve tic above and to the left of my top lip. Had no idea what these things meant and didn't put two and two together until i got my BFP

Heightened Sense of smell and taste was weird v early on. I thought some kiwi fruit had been pickled. Peeing a lot too.

Twighlightsparkle · 02/04/2014 20:52

Faint nausea, and a feeling I can't describe but I knew with my second pregnancy what the feeling was, like nothing else I've ever felt.

Terrible gas at about 7dpo

TheRedQueen · 02/04/2014 20:24

My abdomen was oddly bloated and gurgly from about 8 DPO. Had given up trying to get pregnant though (after years of unsuccessful fertility treatment) so presumed it was nothing and ignored it until day 30 .....

yummystepford · 02/04/2014 20:21

White discharge was the first thing I noticed, 8 days after I conceived.

SilkStalkings · 02/04/2014 20:09

Spots the week before I was due on. Down the centre of my face and down my neck and back. I remember thinking this had better be a pg symptom and not the start of acne.

I felt queasy 1dpo but that was probably a coincidence. Also from 1dpo I couldn't bear the idea of prawns (usually I make a prawn laksa for dinner once a week - still can't stomach the thought of it).

Then I felt bone crushingly tired 3- 5 dpo with no real reason. About 7dpo I noticed my fingernails had been growing really long and were really strong which I thought was odd but I thought it might be the folic acid. I got a v v v v faint BFP 9dpo (DH reckoned he couldn't see it - it was just a shadow) then progressively stronger ones 10/11/12 dpo.

I'd be interested to know this too :)
