Can you feel symptoms before implantation?

Out of interest, did you know you were pregnant before implantation every time?

Oh wow congratulations, that’s so lovely! This will be our 3rd month of trying, currently around 8 dpo so I’ll take a test next week. My cycles are around every 27 days but I do get some pain around ovulation/AF so I get myself a bit worried about there being any issues. Fingers crossed for a BFP soon.

@Confusedg1rl reading your posts have given me hope! My husband and I are ttc our 1st. Would you mind me asking how many cycles it took you to get a BFP please? I know your post was from quite a while ago, hope all went well with your pregnancy.

Congrats anyway OP!

Could have been ovulation related? I get alot of cramps and lower back pain around ovulation which last for a couple of days. I also get ovulation sickness which usually happens prior a day or two before ovulation.. lucky me! 😂

Anyone else have the same thing happen? I have never been pregnant before, was not ttc though we had planned to save up and try end of the year or next year. A week ago I randomly noticed boobs change (larger in size, and larger areolas), back aches, extra tired, and more nausea than usual (pre existing health condition). So I took in home tests. Got a faint very thin but definite line on one test but negative on all others so waited but then threw up for no good reason and noticed food aversion with food I normally love. As well as peeing like 4 times in 2 hours, extremely sensitive mood swings, sensitive smell, and very difficult about what I want to eat. So PCP did a blood test and it was negative so we know the line was likely just faulty. But then next day I started very light spotting on and off with mild cramps not nearly as bad as normal period cramps, and still happening now, third day of spotting I believe 3 full days now around this hour. Nothing ever made it to my underwear, only when I wipe, and it's either light pink or brown sometimes mixed in with white strands. My period would've been due around today but usually if I spot before period, full period would come right after at most a day never quite 2 days definitely not 3 full days. At home tests still show negative. But all the symptoms are still there. We walked into food court looking for lunch today and I had to try not to gag so I don't scare other people. I keep swinging from nope definitely not pregnant to this is completely different than anything I've experienced before and I've had scares before too but never like this. Whether pregnant or not we'll be happy but I just... Really wanna know what's going on with my body 😅

marshmellow looks like we found a ghost thread, I am waiting till Sunday to test, I am paranoid thinking it might all be in my head... or very ill

I had a metallic taste in my mouth a couple days after conception and just knew! I also felt implantation (which science and some mumsneters say is impossible 🙄) but got my BFP positive yesterday so some people are just more in tune with their bodies than others.

Good luck with your pregnancy

Congrats!! I am on a similar boat, I hope, had a bit of bleeding around period time, not much, but I don’t dare testing until at least Sunday

There are some things science has yet to prove... Studies are still ongoing and there are many things that are possible that have not been proven yet.

The science disagrees with you.

Pregnancy hormones are, initially, provided by the corpus luteum, which releases progesterone at ovulation.

It continues to do so for several days, at which point either the implanting blastocyst will release hcg, ‘rescuing’ the corpus luteum and ensuring it continues to produce pregnancy hormones, or implantation doesn’t occur, the corpus luteum dies and you get your period.

You can be as ‘in tune’ with your body as you like. You cannot know if you have a fertilised blastocyst before implantation. In fact, people who don’t get pregnant could have fertilised blastocysts every month, they just fail to implant.

It's not about the blastocyst it's about hormonal changes and differences in your body. You can 'just know' but you have to be very in tune with your body usually. I've had 10 pregnancies (3 live births) and I definitely know the difference between a regular cycle and a pregnant one! It really irritates me when people say you can't know. Obviously be chilled about it all by all means but don't doubt it! I put a post on here about 2 years and 9 months ago saying I felt pregnant and everyone slammed me down but I was and she's 2.

Well, it clearly wasn't all in your head 🙂 x

Thanks 🙂 How many DPO were you when you first started feeling different? X

Congratulations @Confusedg1rl. May not have been implantation symptoms, but you certainly know your body! 😊
Could have just been a strong rise in progesterone that caused the nausea and tender breasts.

I'm 6dpo and have exactly the same feelings 🙈🤞🏻
I bet you're over the moon that it ended in a BFP! X

There is no way your body can sense a free-floating blastocyst.

It MAY be that conception is more likely in the months when you gave strongest ovulation symptoms - ie if your progesterone levels are particularly high, you are more likely to conceive, but it’s the ovulation giving you the symptoms, not the fertilisation.

Congratulations!!

People say you can't have symptoms until after implantation but it's not only HCG which causes symptoms, your body changes before implantation after the egg is fertilised regardless and it is different to other cycles. I have had signs of pregnancy from 3, 4, 4dpo etc and known well before a test told me!

Wonderful

Congratulations xxx

Fingers crossed for you!
