Hi All ? I?m normally on the Conception board but thought it might be more sensible if I asked the q on this board! Apologies if this is the thousandth time it?s been asked?

I?m just wondering what your early pregnancy signs were? I?m feeling slightly odd but it?s probably just wishful thinking!! Would be helpful to know what you experienced so I can compare and contrast!

Thanks ladies

similar to alot of women who have already posted - crampy period pains as if I was just about to come on, sore, swollen breasts, after a few weeks then my nether regions and nipples darkened, I started to get faint, morning sickess (feeling desperately hungry and desperately sick at the same time, and needing to eat around every 3-4 hours to stop this feeling), oh and I felt extremely tired, just exhausted. I also became very sensitive to smells. One big thing I remember was I had a real aversion to tea and coffee, even the smell was enough to make me gag.

I am 12 weeks now but straight away i felt queasy every day and kept saying to dp i dont feel well. I wasnt sick yet just didnt feel like eating and constantly felt yuck! I also had a bad stitch pain for a day or two with pains going down my thigh. so i took a test and bfp. I have never had the bad taste thing but i have gone off a lot of food and drinks because they dont taste the same. I have sore boobs but i only got them around 8 weeks. Another symptom i have had from beginning is feeling like my period is comming everyday. I have headaches but only in the last few weeks and peeing a lot but again only since around 8/9 weeks. Since around 7/8 weeks i can not keep my eyes open past 8pm its driving dp crazy i have to go to bed because i am sooooo tired it literaly like i just stop what im doing no matter what it is and have to go lay down its mad how tired i am. Hope this helps x

beansontoast · 05/10/2008 16:03

very pinky red nipples and felt sick pretty much immediately

FaintlyMacabre · 05/10/2008 16:04

I had possibly the strangest symptom -shortsightedness, particularly poor night vision! Only noticed when trying to read the specials board in a restaurant.
The cause of this is 11 months old today and my eyesight is 20/20 again

Hi, I did not have any symptoms at all. And I would know since we have been TTC for 2 years so I knew myself terribly well. After positive test it took another few weeks when I got the heightened sense of smell. That made me to pour bleach into our drainage since every other day as I thought that was something dead and terribly stinky down there. Not hubby or our neighbour which I invited to sniff our drainage did not smell anything .

Gemzooks · 05/10/2008 19:26

slightly sicky hungry feeling
everything seemed to smell bad
gagged when brushing teeth
if I got up suddenly, just felt a bit sicky and weird

these are the really early symptoms for me.. best of luck!

Strong period cramps in the middle of the night two nights running - bad enough to have to get up and go to the toilet.

ten10 · 05/10/2008 19:42

went off gin, so knew something must be up,

no appetite at all and also felt very tired all the time, like I was coming down with the flu,

Ugg · 06/10/2008 10:12

I went off Gin too and most alochol in gerneral, even the smell of it made me feel sick plus food that I used to love made me feel really ill..felt really tired etc..my first preg test was negative so thought I was just ill, waited a couple of weeks and did another and was positive! Turned out I was 2 mths preg already!

SpringySunshine · 06/10/2008 14:01

I had a really bad, flashing-lights type migraine when I must have been about 3 weeks post-conception. I was VERY tired - couldn't summon the energy to walk to the local shops, could sleep 14+ hours, etc. Went to try to give blood at about 5 or 6 weeks P-C, still unaware of the pregnancy & was told that I was very anaemic. I put the exhaustion down to that until DP pointed out the bigger boobs & I took a test. There were probably other signs, but those are the ones that I can remember, having not been aware of WHY I was experiencing them.

Try First response, it tests from 6 days before AF due. I got my bfp 5 days before Af due.
Best of luck!

Sore boobs, terrible cramps, swollen stomach, feeling sick, tiredness and a missed period. I didn't take much notice to the missed period as they tend to play up and i thought my sore boobs, cramping and feeling sick was because my periods were on their way. I actually found out when i went to the doc complaining of being very tired(falling asleep 2-3 times per day) and my stomach was badly swollen and sore.

ditheringdora · 07/10/2008 09:22

didn't have any early pg symptoms. Didn't suspect till nearly 8 weeks (sore boobs)

frannyannie1 · 08/10/2008 18:48

Hello newbe here

I have been off the pill of about 2 years and actively trying with my partner for the last year. So I am well prepared for you guys to say you are kidding yourself.

However my circle can be as irregular as 28 days to 38 days and well I am coming up to my 27th day and I have been feeling really PMTish. Strangely I don't suffer from it normally. I mean very emotional, aggressive, highly strung, super sensive and grinning from ear to ear all in the space of 20 minutes. very tired now.

Anyway I took a pregnancy test this morning but it showed negative. (day 27)

Is it possible that I could be? I have other syptoms but i am scared that they are all in my mind!

1stMrsF · 10/10/2008 17:06

'PMS' and INCREDIBLE tiredness

Barras123 · 20/08/2014 07:55

Good day

My period ended last week and was shorter than normal. This week i am soooooo tired and all i wanna do is sleep. The weekend i was very Nauseas.

My boobs is very tender and sore.

Could it be very early pregnancy signs?
