Very early signs you might be pregnant.

Just wondering what your very first indications were? It's way too early for me to test but I've got tender boobs which is not typical for me during my cycle and period type cramps, and again not typical for me.

I am probably clutching at a million straws but am interested in your experiences.

Oh Porchrules thats fab Grin.

Amazon would take til Fri at earliest to deliver to me, I looked this morning Sad. But hoping a nurse friend can get me some on Thursday. I just know Im going to be testing every day so I'll have to get some to do me til then.

Huge congratulations Porchrules that is so exciting. Smile Flowers

Pixieperson · 23/02/2015 11:00

That's annoying, you might get cheap ones in a couple of days if you order today? I have some ASDA ones but when I opened them up, they say that they are no good until first day of missed period so I don't want to waste them. I also bought first response ones on Friday that I used over the weekend (too early I think). I ordered cheap ones off Amazon on Saturday (15 for £2.80) and paid an extra £1.50 for express delivery (instead of free delivery). Hoping that they work as otherwise I will end up spending far too much on the more expensive ones!

Just got back from the docs - she didn't do another test but just checked my blood pressure etc and sent me away with the midwife details - which is exciting! I went crazy and treated myself to an expensive digi...and a first response (as its the only brand I hadn't yet tried!) and got very strong positives on them all, which is very exciting though also very odd. Hasn't sunk in at all.
So, just for posterity and hopefully to help someone, my symptoms were:

  • sore boobs (I always get a bit tender with AF but they felt different and 'heavier' - although they are only wee 32Bs!!)
  • my heart rate felt faster - out of breath easily
  • mild cramping in lower back and ovaries
  • last Tuesday I had lots of twinges in my right ovary and cried all afternoon (?!)
  • appetite is not quite right - wake up starving but not feeling hungry in the day
  • trouble sleeping (blocked sinuses)
  • no nausea at all (yet)
Good luck and everything crossed for some more bfps soon you lovely, wonderful women. Xx
Nessie100 · 23/02/2015 10:51

I used my last cheap test this morning. Now I'll have to buy more expensive ones & save them for few days at least Sad

Pixieperson · 23/02/2015 10:30

Sorry to hear that Nessie. Fx for a BFP for you soon. I managed to persuade myself not to test this morning, but I know that if the cheapie tests I have ordered arrive today then I will probably test tomorrow.

Nessie100 · 23/02/2015 09:50

BFN this morning Sad. Didn't really expect a positive, but still gutted Sad.

Going to be a long wait!!

Pixieperson · 22/02/2015 22:38

DH reckons I have a heightened sense of smell, but I just think he needs to put his work boots in the other room!

I know what you mean oyster. I really want a BFP, but AF would also mean a return to sanity for 2 weeks, so I think would be equally welcome, especially for my poor DH who does not seem to understand how agonising the wait is.

Oysterbabe · 22/02/2015 22:31

Not losing your marbles Pixie, all us symptom spotters are the same.
My list for this month in order I felt (imagined) them:
Cramps
Nausea
Wind
Headaches
Tiredness
Waking up really, really early
Heightened sense of smell
Excessive salivation

I feel like I'm just sat around waiting for my body to do something. I'm looking forward to finding out and having two weeks of sanity after that!

Pixieperson · 22/02/2015 22:09

A huge thank you to all of you on this thread, reading through has really helped to reassure me that I'm not losing my marbles with symptom spotting. Smile

I've had dizziness (at 3-4dpo), intermittent nausea (last 2 days), cramps (10dpo), a weird metallic taste, and just realised reading this that my hormonal chin spots (one in particular that DH calls Brian!) have not made their usual appearance, so everything crossed for a BFP soon.

momwhereismy · 22/02/2015 21:34

Keep the hope Nessie :)

Nessie100 · 22/02/2015 21:18

You still have few days yet til due mom?

Was bit dodgy round coffee this morning, but no outright refusal yet. Did test this am but negative. Course if it was implantation yesterday I can still slightly hold out hope for few more days & test again then.

Oh, the pressure ok hope Sad

momwhereismy · 22/02/2015 21:07

Fantastic news porch, that's def a positive eeeek. Get thee to a doctor.
Nessie any sign of u going off coffee yet.

No sign of AF but feel it making way down, wish it just come now cause there's always a bit of hope!

Porchrules · 22/02/2015 14:32

Thanks paper! Everything crossed for everyone in here. Xxx

Archer26 · 22/02/2015 14:27

Sickness! So much nausea. Also threw up when served up fish and chips which I love! Also very Tired. This was about 2 weeks after conception. It was all the above that made me do the test.

Ha ha, brilliant Porchrules Grin.

Thanks for the giggle, can just imagine the students!!!

Porchrules · 22/02/2015 13:49

I have huge search history paranoia as I'm on a pad my school gave me.... Must erase search history before handing it over to a yr7 to research Shakespeare... "Er, miss, are you knocked up?" I need to stop being so ridiculous - I literally just found an ancient mumsnet feed saying how unreliable blue tests are and they give false negs all the time etc... So my DH has sent me to super drug to get a pink one before he hurls aforementioned pad into the gutter!!

Patatas · 22/02/2015 13:49

Fingers crossed for all ladies waiting to find out and big congratulations to those that are.

My first symptom was probably a week after dtd, really bad cramping stomach pains on one side, then I kept going light headed. Sickness started the day after the positive result.

Oysterbabe · 22/02/2015 13:42

That's positive for sure. Huge congrats!!!

My Google search history is something like:
[Insert anything my body has done in the last week] early pregnancy

Porchrules · 22/02/2015 13:37

Ok so after spending the last half hour convincing myself I'm not pregnant, I found one of these lurking in a drawer from last month and just did it, despite it not being fmu or even two hours since last wee... I have used these for 6 months and they're always horrifyingly, startlingly blank when negative. The second line came up in less than 1 minute... So I'm thinking it might be alright after all? I'm so sorry for my endless neuroses. My poor DH needs a break and I need to put google away now I think.

Very early signs you might be pregnant.
Nessie100 · 22/02/2015 13:36

Maybe Porchrules, but just feel wrong.

Will wait & see.

But if some of us get a good result then its a good thing Smile

Porchrules · 22/02/2015 13:07

Good luck oyster - everything crossed for you. Nessie you never know, the pains could be implantation?

Porchrules · 22/02/2015 13:05

They come up within the ten minutes that the pack says to wait, but not immediately, mom. Why?

Oysterbabe · 22/02/2015 13:02

Thanks! There's always hope while AF stays away I suppose.
My OH is so incredibly broody, I'm just longing to see his face when I can say those magic words "It's positive!"
