I had none - couldn't believe the BFP when I saw it, and that's after months of obsessively symptom spotting :o

slovenlydotcom · 29/06/2012 11:31

I felsick very early on- also in second pg had a sharp pain which I just 'knew' was implanatation - can't believe I just typed that! But I did and I was sure and I was pg so there

painful boobs was really the first symptom of the first pg- I had that and felt sick- remember saying to dh that if it wasn't so early I would be convinced I was pg (this was about 10 days before I was due on) but I was pg

slovenlydotcom · 29/06/2012 11:31

FELT SICK

sorry

mrsalwaysawake · 29/06/2012 11:36

First time, a colleague mentioned I looked a bit rough (thanks!) at which point I realised I was 3 days late so bought a test.
This time, only symptom is no period and a BFP!

misslaughalot · 29/06/2012 11:38

I had none either (other than being a bit more tired, but just put that down to work).

Am almost 20 weeks pregnant now and still don't really believe it!!

AWomanCalledHorse · 29/06/2012 11:40

Felt like I had PMS for 2/3 weeks & I was really bloated.

Flimflammery · 29/06/2012 11:41

First time, no noticeable symptoms that I could differentiate from pre-menstrual, until after I had tested.

Second time I recognised the fizzy tingling feeling in the boobs, slight dizziness and constant slight nausea (which got a lot worse).

gardenpixies32 · 29/06/2012 11:41

Period like cramps, tender breasts, bleeding gums when I brushed my teeth and a few nose bleeds. I had a strong feeling I was pregnant and got BFP 9 DPO. 21+4 with twins now.

mcsquared · 29/06/2012 11:44

Normal premenstrual stuff which I didn't pay much attention too. But I got thrush and went off wine before I even suspected I might be pregnant.

Otherwise not really had any symptoms!

cloggs142 · 29/06/2012 11:44

I just dont know if im being silly and its too early to be feeling anything!?! Not due on for a week or so....since ds1 have been irregular....but dear god i feel sick!!
dont really have much to compare to though as didnt find out i was pg 1st time round until 21 weeks. I did have sumptoms but the doctors and myself put them down to the side effects of the pill!!
so i dont really remember exactly what i was feeling as....well i didnt think i was pg so not a grand deal of notice was taken!! Ha

First time, nothing. This time was sick when supposed to be on period. Tested this morning and it's positive. Hope the sickness doesn't continue Sad

akaemmafrost · 29/06/2012 11:47

Feeling exactly I was about to have my period. I felt reassured because I was so sure it was about to start. Then it didn't arrive and about two days after it was due by boobs were excruciatingly sore and I thought "uh oh".

CharltonHairstyle · 29/06/2012 11:47

Tiredness - I was on holiday in Barcelona drinking too much wine and I was always grabbing a quick snooze here and there.

It was my friend that brought it up after I had found ou I was pregnant.

EmpireBiscuit · 29/06/2012 11:48

Not a single symptom!

rogersmellyonthetelly · 29/06/2012 11:50

Really sharp stinging cramps from 6-8 dpo. I had these with dd and this time. Boob soreness which didn't go away as my period approached. Really sore bruised feeling nipples.

Crossfire · 29/06/2012 11:50

Really sore breast..diff to period, exhaustion that was unusual, increased appetite, queasy in the morning or driving and just felt a bit off as well

mistlethrush · 29/06/2012 11:50

Couldn't drink red wine - still liked the smell but tasted awful. This was a week before I could have tested.

mrsalwaysawake · 29/06/2012 11:51

Congrats, doblet! I only found out yesterday - taking a while to sink in!

minipie · 29/06/2012 12:12

Slightly tender boobs (but no more than pre-AF really), and "implantation spotting" (thought it was pre AF spotting but it went away rather than getting heavier).

Nothing else

bumbez · 29/06/2012 12:20

I asked my Dh to hang the washing out as I couldn't bear the smell withh dd1 was 3 weeks I think.
With Dd 2 I was so tired and falling asleep on the couch every night at 8 pm about 3 weeks also.

marge2 · 29/06/2012 12:26

Well first time around I was 'trying' so the minute period was late did a test and got BFP. Next thing I noticed fairly soon afterwards were boobs getting huge and sesitive and needng a wee all the time. I didn't get tired or sick first time round.

2nd time, wasn't actively trying, but not taking any precautions either IYKNIM. I sort of recognised the feeling, then period was late, then SICK SICK SICK. and TIRED TIRED TIRED. Boobs huge weeing all the time again.

signet2012 · 29/06/2012 12:32

all my symptoms where typically pre AF. Sore boobs, tired etc.

DP looked at me after I yelped when he laid on my chest on boxing day and said "you're pregnant you are" To which I went mad because after 18 months of trying we had stopped trying because it was Christmas and I wanted a drink and I didn't want to be heavily pregnant in the later summer.

Got my BFP on boxing day after having sex once, whilst drunk in Dec. Was 1 day late which was not unusual and continued to have no sickness or other symptom 32 weeks now baby due 28th August :)

Imnotaslimjim · 29/06/2012 12:58

I went off all alcahol about a week before I was due AF (and I liked a drink) and from the day before I was due I was peeing for britain!! I didn't know that was a symptom til someone questioned my 3rd trip to the loo in half an hour lol

The day I got my BFP, I got horrendous nausea that lasted til 16 weeks :(

SamraLee · 29/06/2012 13:03

I was really hungry and eating more than normal, plus I kept rushing to the toliet because I felt like I was starting my period and worried about leaking, but never any blood. I was also feeling rough, just generally unwell/tired. I thought I was starting my period and caught a cold or something, but it turns out I was pregnant.
