Very early pregnancy symptoms

[LondonSkaterLady]

Hi Everyone

Just need a bit of help! I feel like I’ve been driving myself a bit crazy the last week or so. My husband and I decided to make a start for a family. Over the last week I haven’t felt my normal self. I feel like everyday I’m feeling more and more exhausted but can’t seem to fall asleep and feel restless, I feel a lot hungrier than usual but go to eat and my mouth feels so dry but not necessarily thirsty, my body feels a bit achy, no interest in drinking my normal morning tea or any tea throughout the day and I’ve had headaches on and off which is never an issue for me.

I have a feeling I may be pregnant as I have no other explanation to feel like this, if I feel a bit run down it normally lasts a few days but then I’m back to myself. I have done an ultra early clear blue test but as I suspected it was negative as it’s too early - my period should start in 7 days.

I just don’t know if I’m pregnant or if I’m unwell. Is it normal to have pregnancy symptoms so soon before a missed period?

Hi @LondonSkaterLady unfortunately a very common side effect of TTC is symptom spotting! Suddenly all sorts of symptoms which you’ve never had before seem to appear. I suspect a lot of it is just that we are looking for signs and analysing our cycles like never before - I know I was utterly convinced I was pregnant for my first 2 cycles even though I wasn’t. Biologically it is very unlikely you would be experiencing pregnancy symptoms this early although there will be people that tell you they had every symptom under the sun from 1 DPO. Clear blue tests are not very sensitive do I would recommend an FRER if you are testing early. Fingers crossed this is a lucky cycle for you.

I think I’m going to pop and get a COVID test just to be sure. I’ll pick up some FRER tests and do one over the next few days if I still feel the same. I have really short cycles and haven’t had any ovulation pain which is unheard of for me which first sparked my train of pregnancy thoughts more than of the other things. I’ve been off of my pill for about 6 months but using other precautions. Thank you for taking the time to come back to me really appreciate it!

Dry sore lips that are stinging . Anyone had this?

I get dry lips in the cold winter but nothing like this they are so sore and I don’t know why

Well I just got my bfp and last week I felt unwell... And now I'm feeling so nauseous!!!! So there may be something to it.

I know have acne on my jaw line lower cheeks and my hands are dry as well as chapped lips.

I don’t know what is going on with my skin . Has any one experiences Similar? I know could be sign of anything period not due till next week

@Zxr12 yes I have this right now! I’m 9dpo! Never have this usually. They are dry and feel stingy / throbbing ?! I’m well hydrated and use lip balm but not making much diff. I’m hoping it’s a positive sign!

Creamy slight yellow cm ? Mean period is coming ?
What does cm look like if pregnant?
