I know I should just POAS but tbh I don't know if I really want to know if I am but dh has mentioned many times over last few weeks.. Saying could you be pregnant.

I have 3 dc and smallest is almost 13m and still bf around 5x in 24 hours. I also have PCOS.

I have recently lost 23lb and BMI is healthy and been feeling great and dh have been quite busy ;-)

I've not had any periods return as yet and my CM is abundant at moment. Had a smear test last week and nurse commented on the amount and she mentioned it is a symptom of pregnancy, but I'd taken a test the day before (due to dh nagging, neg). Since my cm has increased and soaking knickers at times. 2 days ago I wiped and there was a bit of light pink cm and then back to clear/milky cm. I was very faint at weekend and feeling tired and a bit sick. Boobs are fine tho. A few weeks back I broke out in spots too.

So what early symptoms did other people have?

POAS!

shinyblackgrape · 20/11/2012 00:01

Bloating! Terrible bloating from 3 days pre period (when got first very light bfp).

Also, mild nausea. Kind if like sea sickness if I sat in a room and couldn't see out of a window. Proper morning sickness fidnt start til about 8 weeks though.

Please POAS though!

I felt nauseated at 3dpo & have had awful nausea, dizziness & exhaustion ever since! That was 9 weeks ago now! With DS my one & only early symptom was when I had very sudden diarrhoea at about 7dpo & promptly passed out in a public toilet! Blush

When in doubt, POAS!

shinyblackgrape · 20/11/2012 00:25

When I say pre-period, I mean pre period being due Grin

Am now 39+3 with cause of said bloating!

ReindeerBollocks · 20/11/2012 00:42

Sheer exhaustion. I am currently sleeping from 8pm ? midnight. Then from 1am til 7.

I am still so tired all the time.

POAS.

CityDweller · 20/11/2012 00:49

Otherwise inexplicable bout Of Diarrhea about 5 days after ovulation. Then sore and heavy boobs and general pms type light cramping. Then a +ve preg test.

As I,m sure you know from experience tho - no way to know w/out poas. I felt more pregnancy symptoms the month before, even though I wasn't actually preg!

Jojoba1986 · 20/11/2012 08:28

CityDweller I'm so glad I'm not the only one with random diarrhoea around the time of implantation! I've never heard of anyone else having it & the midwives looked at me like I was crazy when I mentioned it as my first symptom!

dinkystinky · 20/11/2012 09:25

mood swings

sore boobs

wierd taste in mouth

tiredness

POAS OP

StrawberrytallCAKE · 20/11/2012 09:31

I was about to come on here and say diarrhoea but every time I do people tell me that's not a sign...well for me it was both times & for my sister too. Glad to see others have had that as a sign as it makes me feel a little less crazy.

AlphaBeta82 · 20/11/2012 09:34

sorry this is disgusting but before I even show up on test I get really bad phlem issues, like gagging every morning, sure enough each time it has happened I'm pregnant!
sore boobs, tired and crampy as well!

BuntCadger · 20/11/2012 10:22

Well I poas - Tesco one and neg. still not convinced tho. How long after pink discharge should I wait if its implantation? Or could it have been ov? I just feel different, we aren't ttc but we are also.mot using contraception. It just if I am, I'd want to know as on 5-2 eating plan which isn't suited for pregnancy afaik

Still having cramps . Had smear a few weeks back and all clear. Wondering wether pink was from Ov as had pain in right side day before. So how many days after Ov should a test be positive?

OP posts:
NewNames · 24/11/2012 12:36

Just keep testing every few days. A missed period would be two or so weeks after ovulation.

BuntCadger · 27/11/2012 10:28

Still neg test as of yesterday evening. Pink cm was 17th so that's 10 days ago s may still be too early.

OP posts:
AlphaBeta82 · 27/11/2012 10:35

What test are you using bunt and do you think you OV on 17th? If so you're unlikely to to show up yet... I showed up 12 days P

AlphaBeta82 · 27/11/2012 10:36

sorry that was meant to post ovulation using FRER

weeblueberry · 27/11/2012 10:38

I had the most utterly crippling back pain you could imagine. This was before I found out I was pregnant. I could barely sit at work for more than 20 minutes before having to move about.

Then I got a weird thing on my tongue. I went to the pharmacist and she asked if I was pregnant because apparently it's very common for women in early pregnancy to get mouth ulcers and the like because they're run down. I laughed and said no.

Later that evening, in front of 7 sticks I'd peed on that came up positive, I regretted laughing at her.

Callipygian · 27/11/2012 19:10

For me my boobs weren't tender. Usually right before my period i had tender boobs so this was a bit strange.

Dynababy · 27/11/2012 19:48

Bone crushing tiredness, cramps, bank pain, feeling slightly light headed,mouth ulcers, heartburn, bloating and wind!!! All many days before period due! Hope you get the result you want!

1978andallthat · 27/11/2012 23:31

Stuffy nose

BuntCadger · 28/11/2012 10:24

alpha Tesco cheapy. Yes I think I Ov as pink cm only on one wipe ad lots of ewcm. Not actively ttc but not using contraception either, although I am still ebf 13 month old.

Maybe my body is just gearing up for period

AlphaBeta82 · 28/11/2012 10:28

Maybe but I didn't show on tesco ones until I was 3 days late, so always a chance! Best of luck.
