Hi all,
New to mumsnet! I am currently 6-7DPO.

I have been feeling SUPER 'heavy' in my lower stomach all day, feels like AF is on the way at any given moment! Lots of light / dull cramps / fluttery feelings in my stomach too.
I've been SO TIRED it's unreal; I could barely keep my eyes open today.

Can I ask what early signs you guys had when you got pregnant?
Thank you ❤️🥰

Couldn’t drink tea. I love tea.
Pins and needles type sensation in my boobs.

Heightened sense of smell (my dog was in the car after a walk and the smell from him was like I had my nose buried in soil), extreme tiredness (2/3 naps a day), so thirsty, excess saliva, tingling taste buds, extreme hunger (waking up at 4am starving), weeing more, nice skin and thicker hair, boobs felt massive and sore nipples.

SUPER sensitive sense of smell a week after ov... DH guessed it then but I wasn't sure. Then had implantation pain (thought it was AF coming) and then spotted for four days... on the fifth day I got my BFP

@ValidUser so super happy to read your update on here ❤️❤️

I have been pregnant a lot and symptom analysed everything inbthe planned ones but everything really really early is everything you get with a period. The only time I've ever been surprised is when I thought my period was coming early. I had the same crampy feeling and actually had to go buy some pads I was so convinced. I also have had implantation bleeding every time I've had a successful pregnancy. I have bled enough to make me think period (start of). With DS I actually wore a cup for a few days wondering why it wasn't getting going properly and then it fell out during shopping! Not literally out out but I had to sort it. I think it must have been the change in cervix or something?
So in summary. Period. Exactly the same. Then you know from the stick, then a couple of weeks before you feel shit for the next 9 months one way or another.

VERY sore boobs. Usually get these when I’m due on but they were sore earlier than usual. Managed to wait until three days after I was due on to test. BFP and now 7 weeks away from giving birth. Good luck!

Daisymai1990 · 23/01/2021 12:43

Super tired by mid morning (and the rest of the day!) even after full nights sleep
Crazy vivid dreams
Super thirsty
Sore boobs
Tested 10 DPO on a whim and got a very clear positive

Nanny0gg · 23/01/2021 12:49

No appetite.
Sharp pain.
Just feeling 'wrong'
Then very, very nauseous/sick

But until a friend said 'Are you pregnant?' it didn't occur to me.(even though I'd come off the pill I never thought it would happen that quickly!)

BlueSuffragette · 23/01/2021 13:31

Metallic taste
Very heightened sense of smell
Sore boobs
From 6 weeks very sick with HG

Sickness and the most painful nipples ever.

MissMarpleDarling · 24/01/2021 10:21

That's not pregnant.

Runkle · 24/01/2021 11:44

I think I can see a faint line?!

Catchingfire123 · 24/01/2021 11:54

I think I can see a faint line 🥰

Angrymum22 · 24/01/2021 12:42

Heightened sense of smell and I went off tea and coffee from start. First thing I wanted after giving birth was coffee which I drank cold through a straw.

PurpleFlower1983 · 24/01/2021 12:43

I was absolutely knackered and drinking a glass of wine felt weird.

2021expecting · 24/01/2021 12:55

I was strangel ravenous, along with sore boobs (more than normal pre period), just felt tired and different to normal.

Ps I think I can see v faint line beginning 🙌

Aneley · 24/01/2021 12:58

Around the time I was expecting my period I had insane craving for wasabi peas and I was super-sleepy... would fall asleep at 8pm.

GrandTheftWalrus · 24/01/2021 13:09

I had the most evil heartburn 2-3 days before my period was due. I would even wake up with it. But all 3 times I waited till I was over a week late to test.

With dd I got a 3+ straight away and she's now 4.
With my mmc I got a 2-3 weeks and I knew something would go wrong as the result wasn't far enough for my dates.
Currently 24+5 and got a 3+ slightly earlier than I did with dd.

Royalbloo · 24/01/2021 13:22

I was suddenly absolutely knackered and felt like I was coming down with a virus before I knew - it was crazy

pandarific · 24/01/2021 13:28

That's a faint line! Congratulations! Thanks

I see something reaaally faint there
Playnoh · 25/01/2021 15:17

Very faint, but could be an evap line. Test again on day of your period. Good luck!!

TheKeatingFive · 25/01/2021 15:22

Early testing is head wrecking. Wait until the day after your period is due.

peoniesandpastels · 25/01/2021 16:00

Hard to say based on that picture. There could be a very faint line?

The day before my period was due I felt a bit off. Tired, and crampy in a way that wasn't the same as my normal period cramps. Took a test the next day and it was a pretty strong positive.

Mammaofgirls · 24/02/2021 08:00

Hi everyone !

Sorry to jump on this post - I can’t seem to find that many threads that are related to what I’m trying to find out that are recent !

I had a miscarriage in December , up until 4 weeks ago I was still getting incredibly faint positives , anyway I had a little bleed 1-3 Feb, wasn’t sure if it was my first period as was light ... after that started tracking ovulation with clear blue tests and temping , it looks like I ovulated maybe on 16th feb last week ?
Last few days I’ve been tired , heavy in Lowe abdomens light cramps like period , and boobs tingly and tender .
Started testing couple days ago, mainly to see if my tests were negative yet and yep it was negative !
Today I did a cheap strip test using FMU and this has come up? It came up within a couple mins ? I’m confused as I’ve heard these tests are unreliable ? Obviously I will wait a few more days before taking a proper test but just wondered if anyone had the same ?
Thanks for reading xxx
