Not trying to symptom-spot, I promise - just curious! Care to share?

Within the first few weeks. Was REALLY tired (thought it was from working long hours) and my breasts were REALLY sore.

About a week. I had hg from the start til I gave birth unluckily. (Thought it was food poisoning at first though)

Almost immediately,I was green and feeling sick on a boat trip, then it continued for 9 months. Grin

chezchaos · 02/08/2013 14:24

A week after DTD I got some odd achy pains in my uterus. A week later I was horrendously tired for no apparent reason.

jazzcat28 · 02/08/2013 14:25

My boobs kept getting in the way. It hurt to lie on my front in bed (due to sore boobs). Around the time of implantation the most painful stomach cramps. Oh and drop dead tired all the time. I'm now 11+2 and still haven't been sick. Keep POAS once a week to make sure I haven't dreamt it all up!

bishboschone · 02/08/2013 14:29

My boobs went up about 3 sizes within days . I had lots of pulling in my uterus and I was completely exhausted. ( pregnancy tiredness is horrendous ime)

bishboschone · 02/08/2013 14:30

First pregnancy I had a metallic taste from very early on .

justhayley · 02/08/2013 16:07

I had horrendous "period cramps" about a week after DTD. Had no idea I was pregnant. This went on for 2 weeks I went to my GP & found out I was pregnant Grin

hippierose · 02/08/2013 16:48

I was very tired, I slept all day on my days off but put it down to working two jobs, but I was 18 and had no clue as I was told I would find it very hard to get pregnant, but fell preg using a condom! I never got sickness, breasts were very sore, extremely uncomfy. 2nd preg that sadly ended in a MC I noticed the sore boobs and I was tired too, but my daughter tires me! Noticed sore boobs, tested, preg! Now I'm feeling the same symptoms 7 months on, fingers crossed testing next week!

Writerwannabe83 · 02/08/2013 17:52

About 7 days after ovulation I felt absolutely shattered for 2 days. There was no reason for it that I could think of, but I could barely keep my eyes open at work. I felt absolutely drained. People at work made, "You might he pregnant" comments but I ignored them because I didn't think it was possible to have such early symptoms. However, I also noticed I was urinating really frequently - far more often than normal - and that's when I began to question myself whether I might be pregnant Grin

Totesamazeballs · 02/08/2013 21:17

Week four is when the tiredness kicked in last and this time. Period type pains from conception though. Sickness from 5 weeks.

Bambi27 · 02/08/2013 22:04

I had v sore boobs about a week before period was due (was Dtd with dh and actually cried because I thought he bit me they were so sore!!!) also had spotting around time of period. Oh and lastly was convinced I had ibs as had such bad cramping a bloating about a week before period was due!! So quite a lot of symptoms really I suppose!! But try not to symptom spot as that was with dd and ttc this time round has been a nightmare for phantom symptoms!!! ShockShock

eurochick · 02/08/2013 22:20

Insomnia started at 12dpo. My boobs also started feeling odd around the same point (I was suddenly aware of them).

Earlier than that, I had some lower back ache, which I never get. I put it down to probably having been moved awkwardly by the theatre staff while I was out for the count a few days before (I'd had IVF), but on reflection I think it was a sign.

EugenesAxe · 02/08/2013 22:28

My DSis got very tired too.... I noticed within a week or so that I got sudden, busting for the toilet-type urges.

WillowsTree · 02/08/2013 22:44

Felt like I was sucking copper Pennies a week before bfp. Also tired and felt travel sick...which never went away the whole 41 weeks! The joys Grin

itstooembarrassing · 03/08/2013 10:35

With first pregnancy the only symptom I had was sore boobs about 10 days after I ovulated but this was no different from pre-period symptoms for me. I only took a test as I was unwell and wanted to be certain before I saw my Gp in case I was prescribed something. Nausea didn't kick in until about 7 weeks I think.

Second pregnancy I had terrible heartburn from 7 dpo but couldn't believe it was a symptom as it was only our first cycle and at 40 i thought it would take a while. Took a test only to rule it out so I could move on to next cycle. A week later and I still can't really believe it! So heartburn probably was a symptom but I didn't recognise it as one.

Totesamazeballs · 03/08/2013 16:34

I forgot to mention, terrible restless legs! I am only 4.5 weeks but this week I have had throbbing legs all day and night.

Writerwannabe83 · 03/08/2013 18:58

OMG Totes - The restless legs are unbearable! I'm having to take paracetamol every night just to get some sleep. They throb day and night, constantly. Somebody on another thread told me to try some magnesium supplements so I might try that. I have my first appointment with the midwife on Tuesday and I can't wait to offload to her about how shit I already feel!! Smile

BartBaby · 03/08/2013 19:41

From about 8dpo ive had very very itchy boobs and stomach. Then from 12dpo slight waves of nausea. Had sore boobs aswell but no different to pre af. Oh and at 12 dpo went out for a day at the seaside and left the car unlocked all day with the keys still inside! I can only put that down to baby brain! Im not normally that daft Grin

JollyHolidayGiant · 03/08/2013 19:44

Dunno when it started but my first symtom both times was constipation Grin

theborrower · 03/08/2013 23:32

Thought I was getting my period - cramps, really sore boobs. Got really bad sudden constipation, which was odd for me. Was really knackered about 5 weeks, which was when I did a test because period was then late.

Currently TTC#2 - have just been feeling all above and was convinced pregnant again, but nope - (late) period today! Pms and early pregnancy symptoms v similar. It sucks.
