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?

I had a dull aching pain in the side of my tummy and light pink spotting with all my pregnancies before BFP

Extremely sore boobs and very very veiny each time, even before I missed a period. X

Sorry to hear about your loss @GeorgeR28

it really is isn’t it! I’ve never been pregnant before so feel like I would definitely know the difference if I was.

when do you plan on testing? I have done 2 clear blues tests but they just look like evap lines to me. I checked them after the time frame too!

I usually have really bad pms but I’ve literally got none of that which is so unusual for me not due on till next Tuesday so we will see

This is how I figured it out.

Cramping, dizziness, sore boobies, absolutely inhaling food, tiredness, and spotting (very dark), for five days before my period was due.

Tested day before period, and it was Positive. Did three that day to make sure.

I had no symptoms whatsoever, just did a test on the off chance, about 12dpo because we were going away for the weekend and I wanted to know if I could drink or not. Massive surprise really when we'd been trying for over 4 years to concieve and most months I'd not been pregnant I'd convinced myself I'd had all the symptoms under the sun!

I've been pregnant 6 times. I always felt very much NOT pregnant when I was and had pregnancy symptoms when I wasn't. First physical symptom -besides missing a period- was nausea arpund 8 weeks. I already had positive tests before then.

So if you don't feel anything: do not give up hope yet.

@Louloubaker hey! Thankyou so much I appreciate it.
well the first time to be honest I had absolutely no clue apart from I was quite constipated (TMI) but I suffer with that anyway so it’s kind of my normal.
This month I honestly just feel different and I can’t explain it. I tested yesterday which will be 10dpo, didn’t use FMU and it was negative. My bbt is still high and hasn’t dipped so I’m so confused. BUT that being said I’m not going to test now I’m just going to wait till AF shows. First time I tested the day of my missed period and it was a positive. Good luck to you! Keep me updated please xx

Feeling tired, peeing loads at night, and weirdly feeling ‘swollen’ down there

FairytaleChristmas · 01/12/2023 09:56

Brushing my teeth suddenly made me gag.

All my other pregnancy symptoms have varied from one pregnancy to the next.

Negangirlxx · 01/12/2023 10:53

I think the peeing is the most annoying symptom so far, along with the cramping.

I’ve had nausea on and off too.

MoonIightDreamer · 01/12/2023 20:51

Started with severe lower back pain for few days. Lots of cramping and just exhaustion
