What were your EARLY symptoms..?

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

@Nam095 It is a really weird sensation. I haven’t felt it today though 👎🏼 I am only 3dpo and I am already getting impatient lol. I’ve decided not to buy any pregnancy tests until at least when my period is due because I will wind myself up otherwise. I guess we are taking so much notice of our bodies that we are always wondering whether it could be a subtle sign! Annoying with the cheapie tests, must have made things even more confusing for you!

@DeltaFlyer it's crazy.. I feel like you could probably see my rock nipples through my bra AND top 😅😂😂 I've never had anything like it before x

@premum1

Yep about boobs being rocks Grin
I also have a vein in my left areola that only crops up during pregnancy so I'm hopeful.
This will be my 4th pregnancy, if indeed I actually am pg. I have one ds and 2 losses

@DeltaFlyer ohh I'm so much earlier than you at 5DPO but honestly I can relate to the nips 🤷‍♀️😂

They're rock solid all day, and really sensitive / borderline painful 😟

@TheDaydreamBelievers oh my gosh congratulations!!!!!! How exciting! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

@TheDaydreamBelievers I know I need to just pack it in. I don’t have the self control though 😩

DeltaFlyer · 21/09/2020 18:35

I'm roughly 10 dpo - assuming i ovulated at day 14 like a text book cycle. I know its likely different.
Aunt flo due in 3 or 4 days. Too early to test.
I've either been nauseas or absolutely ravenous for about 3 days now. Sore nips and twinges a bit like period pain but more sharp than that.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 21/09/2020 18:23

@Nam095 I did a cheapie on 8 dpo and it showed NOTHING. Then my 13DPO FRER was blazing and cheapies have solid lines. Too early for cheapies!

Nam095 · 21/09/2020 18:08

@sunshinecitrus1 I have no idea what the fluttering is but I had it again today! I’m 7dpo today and I’m really feeling the urge to test with a frer 😩. I have loads of cheap pregnancy strips just chilling in my bathroom so out of curiosity and boredom I took one this morning and a faint line came up but then disappeared after a few minutes. I just did another one now and the same happened! I’ve taken these same tests loads before today and that has never happened on any before, let alone twice in one day! I’m probably just imagining it’s something though even though it’s nothing, 7dpo is way too early, especially on cheapies 🙁 I just need to learn to be patient!

CrazyOldBagLady · 21/09/2020 16:35

I wondered if something was up when my period was almost due, but I felt kind of horny. Never happens when Im on or due. Sorry for lowering the tone!

sunshinecitrus1 · 21/09/2020 16:29

Hi Ladies!

I have experienced the same fluttery feeling as well plus the sore nipples which I haven’t noticed before. I am in my first month of TTC so still very new to all of this and trying to figure it all out. I am on CD19 and ovulated CD16, had sex CD16 and also CD10 so I guess could be possible...

Has anyone got to the bottom of what this fluttery feeling is yet lol!?

TheDaydreamBelievers · 21/09/2020 16:08

@linerforlife - interestingly I am SO burpy today

Nam095 · 21/09/2020 08:36

@TheDaydreamBelievers omg amazing!! Congratulations! So happy for you 🥰

linerforlife · 21/09/2020 08:15

Heartburn and burping. Seriously I never get either and had both within a week of conception.

TheDaydreamBelievers · 21/09/2020 08:12

Omg @Nam095 and @premum1 !!!

From my experience my symptoms have been ... absolutely nothing. I hope it sticks!

What were your EARLY symptoms..?

@Dontfuckingsaycheese I'm so glad someone else has mentioned this! I know I'm considerably early on in my TWW but the last few days I've been doubled over in agony with what I can only think is ovulation cramping and pain!! I'm usually really good with AF pain but this is in another scale!

OP posts:
Dontfuckingsaycheese · 21/09/2020 06:56

Pain that was like period pain. But 10 times so. So much it made me want to cry. Only for one day but very noticeable. Fingers crossed op xx

LemonRizzle · 21/09/2020 06:51

I had increased sense of smell (something I'd have missed if I wasn't symptom spotting) and bloating/constipation 8dpo, admittedly I get this with IBS but this was extreme and came out of nowhere! 9dpo I had god awful indigestion so tested 10dpo with a standard 25mIU/mL test and got my bfp although it was v faint. Good line on frer the next day. I'm only 3 weeks 4 days but other than feeling a bit short of breath here and there (which google says is normal Confused) I don't really feel anything, boobs haven't been sore yet!

Did anyone else not feel much at this point?

TheDaydreamBelievers · 20/09/2020 21:31

@Nam095 - my temp has stayed high 37.01 today which is the highest I've ever had it. But slept oddly so who knows. AF still a no show. DPO 13 or 14.

@Nam095 it's lovely thank you, but absolutely exhausting! I'm usually the energetic one but not today! 😂😅

Ohh you never know! I've still got my fingers crossed for you! Xx

Nam095 · 20/09/2020 13:45

@premum1 ah that sounds like a lovely day out! Yeah I know what you mean, I find I’m shattered during the TWW and coffee doesn’t help much 😂 my boobs are still very sore today but my temp isn’t that high this cycle so I have a feeling I’m out this month x

@GanderousGoose thank you. As I said I'm very aware that implantation couldn't have happened yet, and as I said it's more than likely nothing but It just got me thinking and I wondered if anybody had experienced anything very early on 🤷‍♀️
It's my first cycle and first time TTC, so everything I am feeling is completely new to me and therefore it's nice to be able to hear other's experiences. I am not taking anything to heart and whatever happens happens!! 🙂😌
