What were your CLEAR symptoms you were pregnant

[Louloubaker]

Just wondering what everyone’s symptoms were leading up to their BFP?

I am 9dpo and haven’t tested yet, this is only because I don’t have any tests in 🤣

I have pmdd (pre menstrual dysphoric disorder) and usually suffer really bad with my symptoms round about now. Fatigue, sore boobs, very moody/sad/ depressed. cravings etc. I have had nothing (not complaining though!)

I have had the odd twinge in my left side and almost like a dull ache and consistent back ache for about 4 days now.

Anyone else had no symptoms and usually get them before AF but then got BFP?

None whatsoever. I was symptom spotting every month and I had no symptoms before my BFP so I was absolutely convinced I was out. I felt completely normal, I had my usual light spotting I get every month. I only tested because I was going to the pub!

A couple of days after BFP they properly kicked in with sore boobs, really weird dreams and struggling to sleep.

@Mushroo thanks for your reply!

Ahh so hopefully there’s hope for me! Yes that’s exactly what I do every month symptom spot. Then this month I have had a more relaxed approach however noticed my usually af symptoms aren’t even around! very strange.

Wry sick, very early.

Very

No period only

Not fancying anything to eat, just had underlying nausea when I thought about food

Raging thirst and a craving for Heinz tomato soup.

BBT staying high after missing period.
No other symptoms.
Positive test 16dpo.

Most of the symptoms were associate with early pregnancy often occur leading up to your period.

This is due to elevated progesterone levels, which peak before period starts but can remain elevated throughout pregnancy.

HCG levels take time to build and provoke systems. At 9DPO you can be pregnant and test negative for example. So often you'll hear pregnant and non-pregnant confirm the same symptoms.

Here are some of the symptoms I felt I experienced up 9DPO:

Metallic taste in mouth
Cramping
Tender boobs (strongest symptoms)
Morning nausea
Dizziness
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Bloating
Clear discharge (more than usual)
Constipation

BUT - once I was 12DPO all those symptoms stopped completely. Literally nothing. And now I'm nearly 6weeks pregnant.

Would I have paid attention to those symptoms if I wasn't TTC? No. Most woman wouldn't

Now at 6weeks I can DEFINITELY feel the difference. Morning sickness hits hard.

Nil.

It was our first try and we were convinced it would be negative. Had no reason to believe I was, other than that it was my first ovulation without contraception! We were in happy shock when the line appeared!
My whole pregnancy continued to be a breeze, and the birth. I was very lucky!

I woke up 4 days before my missed period feeling very nauseated (lasted two trimesters) and a few days leading up to it I had fatigue. I could hardly eat - beige food. I did a test and it was a strong positive on the Friday and I missed my period on the Monday. I'm nearly 35 weeks now.

A missed period was my only clear sign

Tingly fizzy kinda feeling in my nipples and much larger than normal boobs. Starts around 8dpo and had it each time I e had a bfp. No other symptoms at all though

First time, boobs weren’t sore at all. They always were before my period and they just weren’t.

Last time, sheer bone numbing exhaustion. I did some gardening, came indoors and fell asleep on the sofa straight away. Woke up and thought shit, I haven’t been this tired since being pregnant so I did a test and it was a very strong line 3 or 4 days before period was due.

Irrationally annoyed (I'm not like that normally), vivid dreams x

Being horribly cold to the point I'd get in a scalding bath and still be chilly. And I fancied soup. And I loathe soup ordinarily. After I'd had my child, some years later I was sat in a furry onesie, with the heating on max, in front of the log burner moaning I was cold and my dh said "oh oh. You need to take a test". I was pregnant again 🤣

The most painful boobs I'd ever had at 8 dpo, made me test early and lo and behold there was a faint line.

However with my ectopic pregnancy I had 0 symptoms. I only thought to test when I was about 6/7 weeks as I started getting evening nausea - I only had nausea in the evening with first pregnancy.

I first noticed little bumps around my nipple area. Plus really sore boobs which I thought was just a sign AF was coming early. But they were more sensitive and sore than normal.

For me, it was the spotting, the cramping, the back pain, the fatigue, the headaches... basically i had everything, just not the constipation or the sore boobs xx

Missed period, sensitive breasts and I didn't feel very well.

Painful boobs every single time! Very specific pain.

Hey @Louloubaker in 9dpo today too and losing the plot!
it’s so hard not to symptom spot ALL the time. I’ve been pregnant before which resulted in loss and this is my second cycle since my surgery.
I’ve got the usual tender breasts, they look bigger too. The odd stomach twinge here and there but I’ve broke out on my chin which I normally do before my period so now I’ve convinced myself I’m out for the month already.
TTC is so mentally draining 😓

Raging toothache with 2/3 of my (miscarried) pregnancies

Loooooads of discharge. That was uy

Nausea, both times. Started 3-4 days before my period was due.
