Did you always have symptoms before your BFP?

Did you have symptoms before testing and getting your BFP? X

I had no symptoms the first time, except a missed period. I tested a week after. We were not really trying. On a one off we decided to see what happens if we dtd on a fertile day and don't pull out. Before that we always pulled out during fertile times. So I was not looking for anything. The second time, I felt very tired and just knew. I am now trying for a third and now in the 2 ww and wondering if I am pregnant...but think I'm just symptom spotting. Feeling bloated and breasts feel more plump. But that could just be my annoying aunt flo on the way...argh!

Absolutely zero symptoms till over 6 weeks. Even had bleeding I assumed was a period.

Cramps!
They started about 11-12 d.p.o.
I just thought my period was imminent. But the cramps continued each day and no spotting or AF materialised, so tested at 16 d.p.o., mainly because my BBT was still high.

None at all!

When trying for a baby I always had more symptoms with a BFN strangely enough

italiancortado · 24/12/2018 14:12

why did it take you so long to be able to detect it?

I wasn't looking for it.

@whyhaveidonethis I feel pregnant, no specific symptoms other than back ache but I still feel pregnant as if there is something inside me. but I tested today at 9dpo as mild pains started two days ago but no positive

No symptoms with either.

The only reason I tested with this pregnancy was because I didn't feel PMT coming on, so it was the lack of symptoms more than anything!

Every pregnancy is different, first one only sore boobs
Second one none
Third one metallic taste
