And when did you first notice them?
Feeling a little nauseous today and boobs are a tad sore (they were last cycle too) at 9DPO but BFN on FRER

Milk tasting sour in my tea, couldn’t drink it at all, and went off chocolate. And very, very tired.

Oh yes, went off tea immediately!

Extreme fatigue and my heart rate shot up - I wasn't monitoring it, but I could feel it pounding like I'd just sprinted for the bus even when I was lying down Confused

My belly popped out a few days after I had sex! I noticed a few people looking at it. I found out I was pregnant at 8dpo and had noticed the looks and my tummy protruding a good few days before that. I don't know how it's even scientifically possible but it's the truth. With my other kids, not much.

Knew I was pregnant at 5 weeks so almost instant symptoms

Nausea, felt like I had food poisoning. Then a urine infection.

KittyEmK · 20/09/2022 22:36

I usually sleep on my front but I couldn't as my nipples were too sore

USaYwHatNow · 20/09/2022 22:35

Massive headaches with first pregnancy (miscarried at 6 weeks) and day before period was due with second pregnancy woke up with the same headache so had an inkling (baby 3 weeks old 🤗)

roarfeckingroarr · 20/09/2022 22:34

Dreams of being pregnant both times. Then aversions to certain food.

rhowton · 20/09/2022 22:27

I didn't get my normal chin spots like I do the week before my period. I've been pregnant 3 times, and by the third I knew I was pregnant 7 days earlier.

Thepossibility · 20/09/2022 22:27

Implant bleed. All 3 times. The first I mistook it for a period so it was the sexy dreams while I was sharing a bed with my sister on holidays that stood out.

Bestcatmum · 20/09/2022 22:25

Being violently ill with flu like symptoms and severe abdominal pain.

thesunwillout · 20/09/2022 22:23

Desperately wanted salad and oranges. About a week before missed period.

lickenchugget · 20/09/2022 22:22

Painful boobs, nausea, metallic taste in mouth.

Symptoms were almost instant, all three times.

resipsa · 20/09/2022 22:20

A glass of champagne on NYE - couldn't finish it. A first!

cushioncovers · 20/09/2022 22:20

Back ache and extreme fatigue. Literally had only conceived about a week previously I hadn't even missed my period.

Bbq1 · 20/09/2022 22:19

Crushing tiredness and a metallic taste in my mouth.

sarahc336 · 20/09/2022 22:11

Oh and I knew I was pregnant with dd2 at 10dpo as I had the feeling in my nipple so only tested to show my partner x

sarahc336 · 20/09/2022 22:10

Fizzy feeling in my nipples, had it each time I've had a bfp and the times dd1 and dd2 were the bfp even before my period was due my nipples had grown larger x

Namechange192727171 · 20/09/2022 10:12

Spotty chin and very bloated

Latenightreader · 20/09/2022 02:29

Waking in the night to pee. Almost never happened before and kicked in a couple of weeks after my successful transfer. I was up at least twice a night all through my pregnancy.

Onestepforwards2back · 20/09/2022 02:08

Feeling very emotional and teary for absolutely no reason and then 2 days later off the chart nausea.

Pickles91 · 20/09/2022 02:01

My usual weekend wine did not go down as well as usual and made me feel refluxy - that was 8dpo. BFP at 9dpo and after that I had sore, full boobs. But that was it! If it wasn’t for the wine, I wouldn’t have tested 🥂

Twokidsanddone · 19/09/2022 21:59

DS1, really sore boobs. Couldn't bear wearing a bra it made me cry. Was 6 weeks by then and it hadnt even crossed my mind i could be pregnant. DS2, DP opened a can of red bull and I gagged at the smell and told him to "get it the fuck away from me" (I love red bull I've always drank far too much of it so I knew straight away and did a test as soon as I stopped being angry at the poor man for wanting a drink)
