Early pregnancy symptoms

Hi im on my first cycle and just wandering if anyone had early smytoms as early as 7po...

I have Lower back pain,lower aching,sore boobs.hearadacy ,tired.ive done a test obv to early but the 22w is torture.
I just wandered if anyone else had early symptoms and went on to get a bfp.

I no its only my first month ttc but we did it every day during ovulation week and this whole process is just very stressful

I really wouldn't get stressed if you're first month, it can be a long process 🫠!! And at 7DPO that is too early for any symptoms if you are sure of your ovulation date.

I think when you’re trying you get hyper aware of symptoms. All you can do is wait.

Glitterb · 01/09/2023 12:59

I had nothing except I felt like I had a virus and was wiped of energy. I conceived the first month off coming off the pill and really wasn’t expecting it at all. In fact I could have gone weeks more without suspecting a thing.

I think as soon as you start ttc everything feels like a possible symptom. I remember convincing myself i was pregnant because i have a nose bleed. I would try to relax. My first symptom both pregnancies was being unreasonably emotional, like bawling my eyes out because we were going away for the weekend and i would miss the dog. This was maybe 2/3 days before my period was due.

My boobs were more sore the time I was pregnant but it was a different kind of pain more like a stabbing sensation. I can remember taking my bra off because I thought I had a wasp down it 😂 however most pregnancy symptoms are the same as PMS symptoms as the same hormone causes them. Were you using hormonal contraception before? As it’s pretty common for boobs to get sore after ovulation on a ‘natural’ cycle ie not one on the pill. My main symptom was a lack of spotting which used to start 4 days before my period but didn’t appear.

Turtlegurl888 · 01/09/2023 15:47

I remember the month before we started properly ttc I thought I might be pregnant as we'd not been preventing either, I had every symptom going and I wasn't pregnant. The month after, I had no symptoms at all except for ironically bad period pain, and I was pregnant. Had no symptoms at all my whole 1st trimester.

Good luck 👍 💓

We're just in the first month TTC baby #2. Just had a positive ovulation stick yesterday with awful ovulation pains today... you can bet I'll be symptom spotting 🤣

It's soooo hard not too!! With my Son, lower back ache was definitely an early symptom, albeit maybe more post missed period. One thing I did notice (sorry TMI) was milky discharge both the month I had a loss and the month we conceived our son!

Best of luck 💕

I get early pregnancy symptoms - mainly heavy sore boobs from about 7DPO. I think hormones start to change before implantation - best of luck!

MixedCouple · 02/09/2023 23:51

Yes. 7DPO I had implantation pain. It was so bad and in my lower back amd foe the next 12hrs had sciatica like pain. Never had sciatica but that is what I imagine it would feel like. Then just stopped.
9DPO cravings and heavy Boons
10DPO massive forgetfulness and falling asleep at 3pm! Not like me at all.
12DPO when I tested woke up at 6am and the first thought that jumped into my head within 1second was "pregnant". I had no time to think. It was just there and when I tested it came up within seconds as a dark line.

MixedCouple · 02/09/2023 23:52

My CM never changed with LO until I was in my 2md Trimester. After Ovulation CM looked the same as any other cycle and stayed that way until 2nd Trimester when it changed to a thicker creamy yellow consistency.

Hey...updating im due on my period in 6 days ...is this to early to test??? I've just done a early response one and it was negative but don't no if that's too early..I assume I'm about 9 dpi but not 100 percent..just so deflating

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 04/09/2023 06:46

@Bex4567 some people get positives that early, some do not. I had no symptoms and only tested when my cycle was longer than it had been for over 6 months. Got immediate very strong lines. I would try and wait a couple more days!

Bex4567 · 04/09/2023 07:29

Did a test this morning think im 10pdo..and bfn so disheartening I not it can be too early still but seeing people get bfp like 7dpo onwards is making me think im out this month

OP posts:
Volcanicice · 04/09/2023 09:13

@Bex4567 if your period isn’t due for 6 days and you’re 10dpo that would be a long luteal phase? Might be normal for you but your dates might be a bit off so you might have ovulated later than you think?

My last period was 14th of aug

Belle199 · 04/09/2023 13:38

My cycles since coming off the implant in June have been 32 days & I am currently 10dpo. AF is due on Friday. I have been feeling on / off nauseous, extra tired & I have really bad acne & my hair is greasier but none of that is completely unusual though before AF.

My dog was acting really strange over the weekend- more clingy , extra affectionate so I did a test and got a faint line on a easy @ home. Saved a boots 5 days early for this morning and also a very faint line. I am aware that it is so early so will probably re-test in a couple of days!

If im 10dpo now according to this u should miss my period around day 15dpo which would be correct as that's sat give or take a day so what do you mean by my letual phase is too long

@Belle199 congratulations, keeping everything crossed for you.

@Bex4567 I'm a bit behind you, 4DPO and our first try at having a baby. I'm due AF on 15th (24 day cycle) ☺️
