I'm due af the end of this week but since last week I have had the most horrendous stomach cramps which are a cross between wind pains and pms cramps, sudden urge to run to the loo for number 2 (sorry tmi) and generally feel quite queasy and I'm completely off my food.
I know the rational thing to do would be to test but after 5 years of being dissappointed I guess I'm scared to. My head is telling me its far to soon to feel like this, I'm possibly 13dpo but my heart is telling me that I could be. Did anyone know before they tested by just how awful they felt?? Be grateful to get some replies xx

Yes, because the smell of DH's usually inoffensive deodorant want me want to heave every time, before I'd even missed my period!

weeblueberry · 12/03/2013 13:55

Nope - not a clue!

Went to the pharmacist to ask about something, she routinely asked if I was pregnant and I laughed and said no. But she'd put the seed of doubt into my mind so I took a test. We'd been 'sort of' TTC but I still didn't believe the seven pregnancy tests I did...

CitrusyOne · 12/03/2013 14:30

Bird, my DP STILL can't use that deodorant. Before it was fine, now it smells like fly spray.

MrsJohnDeere · 12/03/2013 14:36

Yes! I only did the tests as a box-ticking exercise because I knew the GP would ask if I'd done one.

Ridiculously painful boobs, couldn't drink coffee or wine, over-sensitive to smells, slightly raised temperature, felt really grim.

vix206 · 12/03/2013 14:39

Yes, both times I've had sore boobs, breathlessness, chills and palpitations from around 8DPO. Good luck!

NaturalBlondeYeahRight · 12/03/2013 14:47

As I sat there obliviously eating my 10th satsuma, I had the sudden realisation that all I ate in 1st pregnancy was satsumas...... Also boobs were heavy.

5 days before I could test I lay on the sofa exhausted and sooooo extremely tired, also felt nauseous most of the time (I later developed HG) and slight cramping. I tested 3 days early and still got a very faint line. I then tested on the proper day and got a more visible line. Baby girl is due on Friday.

Msbluesky32 · 12/03/2013 16:17

I felt tired and starving hungry allll the time for about a week and knew before the test said so (I tested positive three days after my period due date)

Hamnvik · 12/03/2013 16:25

I didn't realise at the time but I had a really bad chest infection and about 6 mouth ulcers, assumed I was late due to being ill but maybe they were symptoms after all. Didn't get a BFP until I was 10 days late.

VenusRising · 12/03/2013 17:10

Yes, my boobs went all pointy and I had implantation belled ing and pain.
Everything started to smell different after that and I couldn't stand the thoughts of eating meat.

VenusRising · 12/03/2013 17:11

Good luck milkyjo! Keep us posted :)

Pudgy2011 · 12/03/2013 17:23

I figured it out but only because I was coming to the end of doing a really hardcore 60 day work out and I hadn't missed a day, and had been completel focused all the way through it. We hadn't been ttc, but had just become careless.

The night before I was due on, I came home and absolutely flat out refused to get off the couch and craved chocolate like there was nothing else on earth which I thought was odd. The day after I was due, I had half a glass of wine, decided it was disgusting and that's when I knew.
Peed on a stick the next day just before our friends' wedding and we got our answer. Started throwing up that afternoon and didn't stop for 13 weeks! Grin

Hope you are OP, fingers crossed.

MyLittleAprilSunshine · 12/03/2013 19:00

Yeah I knew from about 6 or 7 days after period was due for sure. I had such achy breasts and felt sick nearly all the time. I just knew the period wasn't coming on, even though Mum thought I might've just been late this month. We were both :o when it came up positive. My partner didn't have a clue what to say.

Sometimes you just know.

MortifiedAdams · 12/03/2013 19:05

I felt unwell. Not.in a pmt/nauseous way. Just like I was being hit with horrific flu. I was a day before my AF was due and got a BFP.

redandyellowandpinkandgreen · 12/03/2013 20:45

Not a clue at all, we were TTC and I was about a week late and tested not really believing it would happen. I had no symptoms.

Wonderland121 · 12/03/2013 20:54

Yes with dd I did.
Am in the same boat now but got another week to wait but I have my suspicions Wink
Sore boobs had this all other times, feel sick, weeing more and tired.
Time will tell.
Good luck blondes.

LithaR · 25/03/2013 12:54

gah, don't know how to feel. Atm I've got all the symptoms I had when I was first pregnant with my son. I only had sex on Saturday and Sunday and used condoms. With my son I did the test a week before my period was due to get a positive result. Don't know how I'll cope waiting for another 20 days until I can do a test :(

Dannilion · 25/03/2013 13:13

Yep. I had no symptoms but I just knew.

The tests kept coming up negative, but I knew I was PG. DP thought I was going ever so slightly fruity, we're young and weren't TTC at all. In hindsight, I had fell PG 2 days after coming off cerazette, when a condom split.

Eventually a BFP came through at about 6 weeks. Am now 38+3.

fatandlumpy · 25/03/2013 14:04

I wasn't expecting to be preggo, but had a 12hr AF (turns out it was an implantation bleed) about 5 days before real AF was due. Couldn't concentrate at work so I got a Boots cheapie test to confirm the negative... erm... yeah. BFP in the loo at work and had to text a pic to the boyf as he didn't believe me! Spent the next 30mins sobbing uncontrollably... then had to pull myself together so that no-one at work would guess.

No real symptoms until week 6/7 and then I was a sick as a dog until week 16/7.

fatandlumpy · 25/03/2013 14:04

Oh yeah - am now 21/2 weeks

cla30 · 25/03/2013 21:07

I had a miscarriage 4weeks ago at 5+4. I had no pain little bleeding and 4days later an absolute negative pregnancy test.
Last week I said to my hubby that I was feeling the pregnancy symptoms I felt just before I was pregnant last time and that if I weren't pregnant again then my body was playing tricks.
I did a test last Friday bfn did another test today and got bfp slightly scared but got everything crossed for this one :-)
