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

Massive bloating, plus a huge multi-headed spot that needed antibiotics!
Not elegant....

@Dreamcatcher34 really interesting, thank you! Yes I agree it must be hard not to get carried away with looking for signs! It's my first time so I don't really know what to be looking for, but I certainly know I don't usually feel this way. Very heavy feeling in my stomach, almost feels like my lower abdomen is going to just fall out 😂🤷‍♀️ x x

@Benjispruce2 that's amazing! What a way to remember it, too! 🌴🌊

I have been feeling extremely 'heavy' and achey down below around my bikini like area, and lots of unusual pains and cramping to the left hand side.. could be something could be nothing! 🤷‍♀️ it's hard as I don't want to get my hopes up! X

I did. Then I got a positive when I was 3 weeks pregnant. As in a week past ov. I felt so tired and sicky. Just not right. That said, when you’re looking for it you do notice it more. I wasn’t looking for it as it was an accident, but I just knew that feeling.

Fingers crossed for you. Yes with my second baby, I felt a weird sensation in my womb the day after conception. I remember it vividly as we were on holiday and I was lying in a beach. It was like nothing else I’ve ever felt. Apart from that, huge nipples within days and needing to wee.
