What was your first pregnancy symptom and at what DPO? I'm 4 DPO and know it's too early yet but doesn't stop me from symptom spotting! Grin

Really sore nipples! But none of my symptoms started until my period was late.

Melrose86 · 20/01/2020 20:59

Very strange one for me.... My stomach felt like I'd been doing sit ups (which I hadn't!) and also got mouth ulcers. It was the implantation bleed that made me take a test

Runnerduck34 · 20/01/2020 20:34

First sympton was missed period! Swiftly followed by swollen, tender breasts with darker nipple's and tiredness, more tired at the beginning of pregnancy than at the end, oh and really bad car sickness , and my cup of tea tasting odd , actually that's lots of symptoms!

I felt lightheaded and dizzy about two days after my period was due (I already knew I was pregnant). No symptoms before, I only did a test because I was going to a festival and thought I'd better check before drinking all day!

The proper sickness didn't kick in until 6 weeks.

Achy sore boobs

TheGirlFromStoryville · 20/01/2020 20:15

DC1 - really sore boobs, went off coffee and just drank loads of milk.
DC2 - no symptoms initially, just late period. Then had the worst dizzy spells and nausea, along with backache.

Good luck!!

10 days PO
cramp in my arm(!), and mega sore boobs. positive on day 11PO

WhatIsThisFreshHell · 20/01/2020 20:10

Baby 1- Feeling extremely sick at the smell of airline food, at about 2 days past my periods due date (tested the minute we got home and was positive).
Baby 2 - as above and dizziness, a few days before period due (ended in early pregnancy loss)
Baby 3- nothing! Trying for 13 months took the test as I did every month during that time and hey presto 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had implantation bleeding. At the time I thought it was my period starting. First symptom after my BFP was really sore boobs.

Belle89 · 20/01/2020 20:05

Greasy hair, would wash with usual shampoo in the morning felt like a grease ball my 1pm

pinkdressinggown · 20/01/2020 20:03

Feeling 'fizzy' in my uterus - weird I know!

Mandarinfish · 20/01/2020 20:03

A kind of dragging sensation in my abdomen.

susandelgado · 20/01/2020 19:59

Sore veiny boobs!

DobbyLovesSocks · 20/01/2020 19:59

Oh and my very unaffectionate cat decided to start sitting next to me on the sofa (sometimes even laying her paw on my leg). And her sister - my very affectionate cat - wouldn't come near me until I was well into pregnancy

Babyfg · 20/01/2020 19:58

All three pregnancies food tasted funny. I had to keep checking the sell by dates. After my first pregnancy I knew to test as soon as things tasted funny. Everything else felt like my period was coming (but obvs never did!)

DobbyLovesSocks · 20/01/2020 19:57

Sore boobs and then once I was about 4 weeks - overwhelming tiredness. I would have to have an hour nap when I got in from work and then have a good nights sleep on top or I could not function. Luckily that petered out after the first trimester

DontFretJuliette · 20/01/2020 19:51

I was extremely tired and cried over a cat rescue add, I knew something was wrong as I'm not usually that emotional.

doodlejump1980 · 20/01/2020 19:49

Exhaustion and really sore achy arms.

PPopsicle · 20/01/2020 19:48

Tiredness. Nearly fell asleep whilst out for dinner. Looking back I was around 2-3 weeks pregnant.

The first symptoms that made me test were sore boobs

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:45

@namechanger02 definitely, you too

@charlottees89 it does doesn't it! You'll have to keep me updated and let me know if you get any other symptoms as the days go on

1st pregnancy 17 years ago, no symptoms at all other then no periods.
Recent pregnancy, I could not brush my teeth in the morning without being sick, had to make do with a quick brush then around midday I was able to brush properly, sadly ended in mc at 6 weeks.

MrsGolightyly · 20/01/2020 19:41

Sore breasts.

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:38

@namechanger02 similar, between 29th - 31st depending on which app I go by. Seems ages away 🤯

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:36

@bluemoon2468 it's so weird. I just don't want to jinx it if that makes sense so trying to ignore it. When's your AF due?
