Hi All,

If you have been pregnant before, hand on heart was there anything that you could confidently say was a sign you had conceived before tests would show a positive? Anything notable that wasn’t just over analysis of symptoms?

I don’t even know if I’m making sense, I just find this 2 week wait an absolute mood killer. I wish someone would invent a 1DPO pregnancy test.

The only solid thing I can say got me thinking was my cervix felt hard.... This wasn't normal for me, my cervix was always soft from OV to AF if I hadn't conceived. It was the fact it wasn't "normal" for me that got me thinking.

Oh that’s interesting @Kellyaust
the pre-mom app let’s you record your cervix changes and I’ve tried to feel before and been like ‘yep….I think that’s my cervix’ and I’ve got no idea how to describe it. Like is it high? Is that where it normally sits? I’ve no idea!

The only definitive sign for me in all three of my pregnancies was intensely sore boobs and nipples to the point where I couldn't open the fridge door from about 12 DPO without painful sensitivity.

Jadeypie · 29/08/2023 21:10

Mine was extremely tired. Couldn't get enough water down Me constantly thirsty. And bad sore nipples x

I'm currently in the TWW.. have had 2 previous miscarriages.. but for me it was being constipated.. which I am now, but only on 9dpo.. but normally I'd have period poop in d week leading up to AF.. so I'm hopin.... I'm due AF on Sunday hopefully she won't arrive.. sending baby dust to you..

I’m sorry @slowsundays but that just made me laugh. That’s certainly not your run of the mill hormonal feeling.

Currently in the 2ww myself, 2 pregnancies (both ended in miscarriage), only symptom before testing both times was sore boobs!

UnaVaca · 29/08/2023 21:16

Does anyone else not have a TWW? I didn’t ovulate until day 19 of my cycle.

Cowlover89 · 29/08/2023 21:19

Vivid dreams (nightmares) only ever have them when pregnant.

HashB · 29/08/2023 21:26

@Peanutx2278 I only got to 10 weeks last time but I suffered from constipation so badly! I just can’t remember for me when it first kicked in. Luctolose saved my life. Sending good luck back to you xx

@moosey89 i recall we had our MMC at the same time. Our cycles must have almost synced too off the back of it! Sending you all the luck xx

@UnaVaca how long is your cycle? Still only 28 days or is your ovulation later because your cycle is longer?

The only things for me that were different to PMS were a different pain in my boobs, I always get sore boobs after ovulating but it was more of a sharp stabbing pain. I was also incredibly thirsty, I had to buy a drink in the supermarket for the journey which I never do. Quite niche but I always got a few days spotting before AF and I had none. That was the real thing that made me ‘know’.

moosey89 · 29/08/2023 21:32

@HashB of course! Best of luck this cycle. Keeping everything crossed it works out well for us x

Kellyaust · 29/08/2023 21:39

@HashB best thing to do is Google how to check it, it's getting to know what's normal for you then you'll notice a change much easier xx

UnaVaca · 29/08/2023 22:48

Yeh usually 28 days
