What was your first pregnancy symptom and at what DPO? I'm 4 DPO and know it's too early yet but doesn't stop me from symptom spotting! Grin

Cramps and nausea when hungry

Booona19 · 20/01/2020 12:34

Cramps and headaches and sore veiny boobs

Pebblesxx · 20/01/2020 12:35

I had none at all really apart from feeling really really tired

WildCherryBlossom · 20/01/2020 12:44

Non-greasy hair was always the first clue for me.

Malteserdiet · 20/01/2020 12:44

Good luck op! I’ve had 4 DC and I realised after the first one, when I didn’t know what was and what wasn’t a sign, that I first knew when I suddenly had an overwhelming craving for a McDonald’s cheeseburger - specifically the mustard Grin

Lunalady21 · 20/01/2020 13:04

Extremely tired.. though I get tired when due on a period. Finished work and had a spare test and just did it for arguments sake! And it was positive! Currently four weeks from due date! Though when I had the positive other symptoms seemed to magically manifest rather quickly like sickness sore boobs and headaches lol

The smell of fried food - every pregnancy it turned my stomach

pumpandthump · 20/01/2020 13:13

Pregnancy 1 - 10DPO implantation bleeding. Then 12DPO back ache. 14DPO positive test. Then no more symptoms until 6 weeks pregnant when nausea set in.

Pregnancy 2 - 8DPO implantation bleeding. 12DPO positive test. 14DPO debilitating nausea. 16DPO miscarriage.

Pregnancy 3 - 7DPO positive test. Then no symptoms until until 6 weeks pregnant when nausea set in.

I've not been pregnant before, but I'm 4DPO too and I am having the worst stomach cramps today. So much so that I keep going to the toilet because I'm convinced AF has started, even though it would be 10 days early. Had a massive .51 drop in BBT today as well!

georgialondon · 20/01/2020 13:29

Extremely tired and lots of little burps

TestingTesla · 20/01/2020 13:29

Nausea Envy the smell of toast and even the smell of steam from a boiling kettle would make me sick. Awful. I'm still more sensitive to smells than before I was pregnant.

ecuse · 20/01/2020 13:38

Crazy sore boobs. All 3 times.

littletandme · 20/01/2020 13:54

Sore boobs then mild cramps.

keepingbees · 20/01/2020 15:54

Around the time I was due on I felt slightly lightheaded with bouts of dizziness, had period cramps on and off and was really thirsty. Nausea started around week 5 and sickness week 6.

blossomberry · 20/01/2020 18:09

I felt lightheaded and slightly dizzy the day before af was due. Sadly ended in mc at 8 weeks though.

Togepi · 20/01/2020 18:17

After implantation but before missed period I just felt really "off". I couldn't put my finger on it, I just felt kinda weird and not myself. Took a test and it was very faintly positive!

Around the time of my missed period my boobs and especially nipples became extremely sore.

I have been horrendously ill with nausea and vomiting this pregnancy (still going strong at 16 weeks!) but that didn't start until about week six or seven.

Lilice · 20/01/2020 18:57

I dont remember with my previous pregnancies but this time I had a heavy feeling behind pubic bone from 7dpo and then sore boobs especially on the sides and underneath

charlottees89 · 20/01/2020 19:05

Glad I found this post..I'm about 4 days DPO (first time TTC) and have had the worst cramps/ bloating. Never felt like this before, usually I would only get mild cramps just before a period. Also been suffering from headaches which again I never get unless I'm ill or hungover 😣. I don't want to symptom spot either but I just don't feel 'right'. Only time will tell I guess 🤞🏻

MrsBudd · 20/01/2020 19:08

Burping!

user1493494961 · 20/01/2020 19:10

Smell of food.

rosewater20 · 20/01/2020 19:10

Currently, 22 weeks and my first symptoms were what I would typically associate with an oncoming period, but the symptoms were magnified. I had intense cramping, bloating and very sore breasts.

bluemoon2468 · 20/01/2020 19:11

@charlottees89 me too! Really, really bad cramping today, like period pains which is so weird at 4DPO.

jeremypaxo · 20/01/2020 19:12

Tiredness and sore boobs.

user1471449295 · 20/01/2020 19:12

Sickness

namechanger02 · 20/01/2020 19:16

@bluemoon2468 @charlottees89 I'm 4DPO but have only had slight twinges of cramping here and there. I don't think I've ever had it before but then I've never been paying attention so maybe I have 🤷🏻‍♀️it's still so early and everything says implantation wouldn't of happened yet so I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, she says as she's been googling symptoms at 4DPO for the entire day ha!
