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?

Nothing - but I didn’t symptom spot. I hadn’t discovered mumsnet then and didn’t realise it was a thing people did 🤣
DP was also very clear he didn’t want me to be ‘mental’ about it lol!

I tested the day after my period was due when it didn’t arrive and I was positive.

Waking in the night to pee every time. (long ago so you couldn't test before you missed your period)

At 8dpo I woke up at six am and wanted to eat dry toast with ham on and that’s how I knew 😂

Prior to period being late .. I was falling asleep at 6pm !

Genuinely the first time I thought 'huh, I wonder....' a few days before testing was when I cried at a trailer in the cinema.

I never cry.

Other than that I'd say the giant painful canon balls where my boobs used to be have been the most persistent symptom.

Suddenly couldn't stand the smell of coffee or red meat. I had to cross the road to pass the butcher's shop and made coffee for DH with a peg on my nose.

A very strange feeling like somebody had hold of the back of my belly button, and was pulling it inwards, plus dizziness. Have literally only ever felt it in very early pregnancy both times.

being an absolute cow. every single pregnancy i’ve known before testing because i’ve been absolutely raging and moody at everything and everyone for no reason 🤣

None. Absolutely no differences between pregnant cycle and non pregnant cycle and trust me I was looking hard for symptoms. Late period prompted me to test.

I threw up when a smoker walked through my front door and didn’t stop for 9 months until they sliced me open and lifted him out.

Massive sore tits and felt sick. Both times.

I was the opposite; pregnancy was the only time I wasn't a complete cow 🤣 sick as a dog but weirdly chilled out and content

Nothing!

Tiredness, veins on boobs.

No period, Increased thirst, frequent urination, cramps.

Excessive insatiable thirst!!

Metallic taste in mouth, sore boobs, bit of nausea.

I’ve been pregnant 3 times and every time I’ve known I’m pregnant before I even tested from the smell of my wee! Totally bizarre

With the pregnancy I miscarried I was so sooo warm, like proper hot flushes that made me lean my face onto a metal filing cabinet at work and then a really dull, thuddy almost dehydrated kind of headache.

I miscarried at about 6.5 weeks.

Fell pregnant 8 weeks later, definitely didn't think I was pregnant but one Sunday at about 9dpo woke up with that same horrible headache even though I was well hydrated. Thought it was COVID tbh 🤣 COVID test was negative but pregnancy test was positive the next morning and my son is now 15mo 😁

The usual pregnancy symptoms of nausea and food aversions etc didn't start for me til I was nearly 8 weeks pregnant...thought I'd gotten away with it!

A sense of smell on overdrive, especially when opening the fridge and/or cooking. Most things smelt bad and offputting (meat especially, even when it should have been fresh). Fabric softener very suddenly became so strong it could be tasted within the mouth even just by smelling it on a wash - I think most types contain pheromones or pheromone-like scents.

Sickness and feeling so tired/falling asleep at 7pm

Nausea as well with me a few days before my missed period. I know a lot of people say it doesn’t start until later in the pregnancy but this has been the same for both my pregnancies.

A strang tugging sensation when I stood up too quickly, which I'd never had before.

Veiny boobs.

Sudden bouts of sickness that would last just seconds whenever I had a shower.

My symptoms kicked in Very early, well before my period was due. Very intense lower back ache and extremely tender boobs, sensitive nipples - it was very unlike anything I get pre-period and I was convinced I must be pregnant. Then these symptoms stopped ans I instead got what felt exactly like period cramps. At that stage I was a bit deflated and thought must be coming on, earlier than expected. I actually only tested because I wanted to be sure I wasn't pregnant so I could have a glass of wine because I felt so achey and fed up. Turned out to be twins, which I assume is why my symptoms were so strong!

Extreme hunger and tiredness!! The night before I got my first BFP, I ate an entire medium dominos pizza to myself and was falling asleep in bed by 7pm...
by 7am the next morning I found out I was pregnant and it all made sense!!
