So I know this is super duper early for me.. I'm 3DPO today and have been feeling very crampy, nauseous and exhausted! (Cant even describe how tired I am!)

I know full well that a fertile egg wouldn't have even implanted yet, so I'm not for one second implying that I'm experiencing early pregnancy symptoms - I assume it's probably the aftermath of ovulating 🤔😅

It got me thinking.. and I wondered if anybody has ever just 'known' that they were pregnant..? Like the first few days post ovulation? I'm just genuinely curious!

I know many family members and also some friends that claim they knew pretty much within the first 3-7DPO! 😅

As I say, I'm not trying to say I 'know' I'm pregnant or anything like that, this is my first cycle TTC so I know that would be extremely lucky.. just curious! X x

I definitely had odd new symptoms from very early on. Achey teeth, metallic taste around gums 4dpo onwards, then 6-8dpo I had bright yellow pee, headaches and hot flashes. Boobs starting to hurt then too but less distinctively. BFP at 10dpo.

@premum1 how are you getting on? X

CLKELL · 28/09/2020 10:18

Forgot to mention I also felt really coldy last week too!

Hey everyone, hope you don’t mind me joining in but I saw this feed and was very intrigued! I’ve been ttc since July however I have severe endometriosis with my last surgery in June and stopped the pill shortly after.
My first cycle was 54 days however the ‘period’ I then got I’m not sure was a period, it was super light and just not normal for me (but could be the surgery etc). I also have no real idea if I’m ovulating although the one day I had a lot of EW discharge was day 26 so just been enjoying DTD and trying not to stress!
I’m now on day 41 and a week late based on my app but this obviously may not be accurate based on what’s happening and if I actually ovulated. Last Weds I had pains in my left side that felt like tugging and pulling downwards whenever I moved and felt different to pains I’ve had before related to my endo and then the next day had gone. I’ve also had sore boobs for a week now since before that day, a couple of lightheaded moments and two huge spots on my face that is defo hormonal! I did a test last Thurs and again this morning and both negative, I just feel so confused with what’s going on Confused

@AR52 congratulations on you bfp

AR52 · 27/09/2020 21:31

Hey everyone,

Hope your all doing okay. So I've literally just done a test because I've been having twinges over the weekend, AF due Tuesday but thought I'd check. Very early but fingers crossed this sticks.

What were your EARLY symptoms..?
mamaonamission · 26/09/2020 23:45

Tiredness! Every single time. Extremely tired and I'm someone who suffers from insomnia so when that tiredness hit I knew I was pregnant! Same this time around

premum1 · 26/09/2020 23:41

@PurBal ahh exciting times! I'm 8DPO currently, I'm hoping to test around 11DPO too! I say go for it 💓💓

@mamawannabe massive congratulations on you bfp!

PurBal · 26/09/2020 22:59

9dpo. Bit of prickling cramp today. Knowing me it's probably just wind! Funny watching out for all these symptoms, I keep wondering if I imagined it. Our anniversary is at 11dpo and I'm wondering whether to test or if it's too early. Thoughts ladies? I just don't know if I'll be disappointed or not if it's a bfn.

mamawannabe · 26/09/2020 11:05

Thank you @premum1 it's so got so much darker this morning! Going to try and get another one now just to make sure haha!

I'm in disbelief! Just got to hope it stays now 🤞🏼 Yet to tell the hubby as he's working!

I have my fingers crossed for your BFP too and will keep an eye on the thread xx

premum1 · 26/09/2020 10:46

Oh my god!!! I am freaking out right now!!!!

12DPO

What were your EARLY symptoms..?
mamawannabe · 25/09/2020 22:57

Hi @premum1

Glad you're well. That's so weird about the shooting pains almost around your bum as I had the same yesterday so weird!!

Covid test came back negative thankfully!

11DPO today zero symptoms other than creamy milky CM( I've normally got brown CM around this cycle day). AF due on Sunday and by now I've normally got PMS big time but this month is different. Every month I normally get a headache the day before my period so will see tomorrow if that happens.

Tempted to text in the morning but not sure! What do you think?

premum1 · 25/09/2020 21:19

7 DPO today! How's everyone getting on?

I'm feeling very crampy tonight, low down and also some shooting pains around my bum?! 😂😂

Veins all over my boobs are prominent again tonight. Strange.

Xx

Hi @premum1

Glad you're doing well and getting through the TTW.

I'm still full of a cold/flu! Had a Covid test yesterday so I'm hoping it's not that! Waiting for results.

I'm 10DPO today and have mild stabbing cramps today that feel slightly different than normal (I normally just get a dragging sensation).
Exhausted but I don't know if that's as I'm not feeling well. Have avoided taking any medication just incase.
A fair about of creamy CM today and boobs and nipples are like normal!
AF due in 3 day. Keep looking back to compare on last month. I had brown spotting this time last month and nothing like that this month!?

premum1 · 24/09/2020 15:39

Afternoon!

How's everyone feeling today?

I'm 6DPO, currently having very light cramps / shooting pains on the left and right lower abdomen, and still have very sensitive and slightly uncomfortable nipples 😟🤷‍♀️ nothing other than that though!

sunshinecitrus1 · 23/09/2020 18:20

@premum1 Hi! I am also 5DPO so we are basically the same! Smile I have felt a little blurgh today and my temp seems to have dipped compared to yesterday’s spike. Is it normal for temps to be up and down or is it usually more consistent? I had a kind of dull feeling in my left pelvic area earlier, almost like a really faint stitch feeling and also a tightness feeling in my stomach but I don’t know if I am imagining it! Other than that, no real symptoms!

premum1 · 23/09/2020 13:58

@KateColx massive congratulations! 💫🥰 xx

I had spotting and cramping from last Thursday (exactly a week before AF was due) and got my BFP on Monday 🥰

I never get any spotting etc until the day before AF is due, but it felt like AF was going to start at any moment! The cramping was much lighter than normal, kind of like a dull ache but also had pinching / pulling sensations too.

AF was due tomorrow so I'll feel better when I get to the end of this week.

Fingers crossed for you all 🥰✨

premum1 · 23/09/2020 13:15

Afternoon all! 👋

So I was a little silly and found out that I'm actually only 5DPO today 😅😂 I had calculated my dates a day out lol.

How's everyone feeling today? I'm not experiencing any symptoms whatsoever. Feeling a bit disappointed!

Nam095 · 23/09/2020 10:41

I have a metallic taste this morning after my morning coffee and it’s still there.. I’m going to hold out and test on Friday 😬

TheDaydreamBelievers · 22/09/2020 21:13

@premum1 good luck! @HeyDW96 the "pinching and pulling" describes what I'm getting perfectly. That + tired + belchy + occasional faint nausea

PurBal · 22/09/2020 20:52

Jumping on this to bookmark. 5dpo today. Short cycle last month so no idea when my period is due. Not feeling anything other than excitement and apprehensive. Finger crossed for you all ladies.
