All day sickness here, too. And spots.

Deciduousblonde · 03/03/2011 16:28

Notice how nobody has mentioned a missing period Grin

Seriously..with me it was sore boobs. I know many women have sore boobs when period is due, but not me so I know when that happens it is taken as read that I have struck gold! slight nausea (never been one for ful on sickness) and going off coffee were also good signs for me.

Bluetinkerbell · 03/03/2011 16:40

with me it was going out with the girls and laughingly mentioning to them that my DH was commenting that my period would be coming as I was so grumpy... when after a week I realised that said period had never come...
breasts hurting...

RugbyWidow7 · 03/03/2011 17:17

Sore breasts, thirst, tiredness, being irritable, and going off alcohol (very strange)

sleepysammy · 03/03/2011 17:58

Needing to pee, all the time!

ToriaPumpkinHead · 03/03/2011 18:03

Tingly nipples, a raging thirst that just would not be quenched and absolutely no PMT. I also noticed that I hadn't started my pre-period spotting. Since then I've had heartburn that radiates to my kneecaps and makes me feel sick almost every afternoon, I'm absolutely knackered and my boobs range from slghtly uncomfortable to burning!

Particles · 03/03/2011 18:08

Late period followed by a positive pregnancy test. Mine's not very original is it?!

Mondayschild78 · 03/03/2011 19:03

Sore boobs, insomnia and feeling a bit rundown

iWILLdothis · 03/03/2011 19:13

No PMT and tiny implantation bleed.

del1 · 03/03/2011 19:37

mcdonalds / pot noodle cravings - even before my period is due. ( about 2 weeks after conception)
This was for all 3 of mine!
The sore boobs/ itchy nipples, back ache, metalic taste came around the time my period should have been - again with all 3!!

Vicky0316 · 03/03/2011 20:00

Nausea and sore boobs for me. Did a test on my period due date which was negative... left it 5 days before testing again and then discovered I was pregnant! Was quite a crazy shock, over the moon now :)

MissCalamity · 03/03/2011 20:20

Extreme tiredness! I had never at that point in my life felt so knackered....until the baby arrived of course Wink

The sickness didn't come until week 7 and my boobs never really felt that sore, however my nipples seem to be erect all the time!

MrsBakerNeeld · 04/03/2011 19:35

Sore boobs! About a week before I missed my period, my boobs were literally so sore I was wearing a bra to bed and nothing helped.

MissCalamity, my nipples seem to stick out all the time too lol, glad I'm not alone.

StickThemWithThePointyEnd · 04/03/2011 19:41

raised body temperature, about 10 DPO. My massage therapist noticed it, and I jokingly said that maybe the baby fairy was kind to us that month.
2 days later my boobs randomly leaked, and another 3 days later I got a BFP :)

theborrower · 04/03/2011 21:29

Sore boobs and tummy cramps - we were TTC and I was disappointed because I thought my period was due, but then I was absolutely knackered, which got me wondering, but we didn't do a test until period was late. Oh, and I was constipated (sorry if TMI)!

JBrd · 05/03/2011 09:18

Missed period here - I'm amazed at how many have other symptoms! I didn't notice anything else, but then I was just recovering from a massive cold and completely preoccupied me. When it (slowly slowly) dawned on me that I was 3 days late, I was Hmm

cerealqueen · 05/03/2011 09:22

Raging thirst here too, wake up feeling hungover, even though have not had a drop and get through nearly two pints of water at night and that just adds to the needing to go to the loo all the time.
Occasional lightheadedness too.
