Hi ladies,

Bored at work in my 2WW, let me know your earliest symptoms besides a missed period!

Find it interesting to hear everyone else's experiences 😊

I cried during a crime show when the murderer was arrested because he was a nice man really.

bfp a few days later. 😳

First baby I got spots on my chin, second everything smelled weird/bad in a way I remembered from first pregnancy and third my boobs really hurt, especially if they were touched even really gently.

Period pain! Like lower stomach cramps. V confusing...

White wine tasted all wrong

Bananabreakfast123 · 23/08/2022 12:16

7DPO extreme bloating and lots of burping. By the evening then in to 8 and 9DPO lots of nausea, particularly morning and through the night. Night time nausea has been so bad it's woken me up. BFP at 10DPO.

In the run up to 7DPO I had some twinges as well as a sore back and throat then 9DPO I had a really metallic taste. So many things I read said I couldn't be having symptoms that early and I suppose these ones are easily explained away as something other than pregnancy but who knows 🤷

My trainers started rubbing for no reason

Bluebells12 · 23/08/2022 12:41

Sensitive smell and taste. My colleagues suddenly stank of BO and stale fags, certain (red) foods tasted amazing. This was very soon after ovulation.

I was incredibly hungry too, I was shocked by how much I was eating and then when I tested positive at 2wks post conception I was like ohhhhhhh I seeeeee.

Lunabun · 23/08/2022 12:42

Sore boobs with my first! Nothing yet this time round 🤔

Oh yeah and I felt it implant. Felt like a sudden period cramp on day 16 or so, I was like wtf is that?! Only lasted a few seconds.

Riverlee · 23/08/2022 12:43

similar to @ninjafoodienovice , food tasted wrong. Went off red wine and couldn’t stand the smell of barbecues.

mamazac · 23/08/2022 12:43

It's keeping me entertained too! Im 6dpo and struggling so much as I feel normal still

Mayfield87 · 23/08/2022 13:09

I had implantation cramps for sure- it was like the baby was literally embedding into my womb it was that painful and nausea. Took a test the day after these symptoms and it was positive. Test was taken on the Tuesday and my period was due on the Saturday after.

Suprima · 23/08/2022 13:10

Hot flushes- or what I imagine to be them. A wave of feeling really hot and dizzy.

I have been pregnant multiple times and have only ever felt like this prior to 5 weeks pregnant

Chuckiegg · 23/08/2022 13:11

Could smell a cup of coffee from across a room.

Violettaa · 23/08/2022 13:13

First pregnancy I had a sudden electric shock in my boobs about a week after ovulation - only brief but very odd.

Second pregnancy, I was convinced that meat I’d cooked was off - it smelled rank and I couldn’t eat it. DH thought it was fine! With that pregnancy I was sick every day from well before my period was due (I hadn’t even felt nauseous with DD).

abblie · 23/08/2022 13:14

The strong smell of lemon fairy washing up liquid

newtb · 23/08/2022 13:18

Soft fluffy towel felt like sandpaper on my nipples.

swimmingincustard · 23/08/2022 13:19

Smell, remember being in a cafe and the smell from a plug in diffuser was so bad I turned it off at the switch. Didn't know I was pregnant at the time.

MeredithGray2 · 23/08/2022 13:21

Sore nipples

Worldwearymum · 23/08/2022 13:21

Sense of smell went weird! Cramps too.
