Hi all! 8DPO and I had a BFN on my PT last night (I know I shouldn't have!!! 😭).
However I wanted to ask how early did people start to have signs they were pregnant??
Since last Friday I've been having waves of nausea, cramps and as of today I'm feeling totally knackered and my smell has gone funny.
Is my body playing tricks on me?
Anyone else had symptoms and not actually been pregnant because your body just wants to torture you!!!
I won't take another test now unless I miss my period, but I have not felt this before.
I really want to be pregnant but I'm just not sure that I am!
Asking for a friend! 🙏🏻

It’s so tempting to test early isn’t it! I tricked myself for 17 months that I had pregnancy symptoms! When I finally got my positive it was the month I thought there was no way! I didn’t have any pregnancy symptoms until I was 6 weeks. I just had usual period symptoms like cramps and even took painkillers as I was convinced I was about to come on, the cramps lasted for a week or two. My fingers are crossed for you, it will happen🤞🏼

Yup most months i think I have pregnancy symptoms so now I just expect them each
month Smile to be honest, witj me when I've had a bfp, my symptoms weren't actually that strong and I'd only be noticing them from 11/12 dpo. Remember most people don't implant until 7-12 dpo with the average being 9 I think so before implantation it is impossible to have symptoms. I think ttc can drive you nuts Confused

I had every pregnancy symptom in the book one cycle, concinved myself that was going to be the month. Of course AF turned up. After that I take no notice of any pre AF symptoms.

I'm never had really pregnancy symptoms until AF was due or later on. I don't believe the real pregnancy symptoms come until you have a bit of the hormones around, which will cause you to have a positive test too.

This is my 4th and tested 1 day shy of AF because my breasts were hurting( they never do) and it felt odd( and I wasn't even trying to conceive).

It's vile isn't it! It's like all of sudden my body just decides to play tricks on me! So unfair! If I've ever wanted anything, I've just gone and got it (within reason of course and a lot of saving! 😝) but having a baby is really frustrating!! I like to be in charge of most things in my life but clearly my body has other ideas! 😩😩😩
