Symptoms or no symptoms?

[Leoladyttc1]

Hi ladies - would just like to see some thoughts and insights on the elusive pregnancy symptoms!

I'm 8 months into TTC and have learnt to stop counting every little change or feeling as a pregnancy sign, however I'm intrigued as to whether anyone got their BFP in a cycle where they had absolutely no symptoms, or more importantly, all the usual symptoms before a period... dried up/sticky cm, no sore boobs etc...?

Trying to balance the feelings of high expectations if I think I notice anything unusual vs. the disappoint if I don't notice anything different.

Just to add! It feels like its rare if you don't have any symptoms or signs before a BFP!

I had a BFP last month (ended in chemical) and I just felt like I was about to start my period. I do get sore and bigger boobs during my period anyway but they were a lot more heavier and in agony. But other than that, I was surprised to get a positive!

i also spot a couple days before so obviously that didn’t happen. There was one day I was quite tired but just thought it was because I didn’t sleep well 😂

i was never clued up on CM and I still don’t really know what it’s meant to be like pre-PMS but I remember taking note that it was watery/creamy (milky).

but I have also come to learn that anything before 10-12dpo (or pre-implantation) is just progesterone! So I try not to take anything that happens then seriously because implantation hasn’t happened and my body doesn’t know it’s pregnant!

I'm sorry to hear it ended in a chemical 💛I find the symptoms chats so interesting but it massively highlights how different everyone is!

I tend to spot a couple of days prior to my period and I feel like I've gotten to know how my body changes throughout my cycle really well over the past 8 months, but you still hear about these surprise BFPs!

I've been pregnant a few times, two dds and some chemicals/mc etc and overall I've always felt the same apart from each time my boobs have gone much bigger, massive nipples🙈 and I've always had a kinda tingling fizzy feeling in the nipples. It's a very distinct feeling and never had it prior to af. Always had cramps the same etc but the nipples are very different 😂

@sarahc336 - boobs/nipple changes seem to be one of the most common signs! And that was prior to you testing?
