I knew because my temper went through the roof. OH dropped his e-cigarette (I hate that thing at the best of times) and I turned into Godzilla for no reason. I was rather surprised to get 2 BFNs, but then a BFP explained it.

I felt 'odd' all three times I fell pregnant. Really bloated like I had terrible wind and couldn't make it come out either end. It's only when I posted on Facebook that I thought I my tummy might explode that a paramedic friend of mine suggested I do a test - I'd been trying to conceive for five years by that point so I laughed at her but she was right. The next two pregnancies were exactly the same in the very early days.

That's it though.

I had mental vivid dreams. So when I got 2 x bfns but still kept getting the dreams, i was sceptical.

Couple of days later, a BFP

eddiemairswife · 18/08/2015 13:14

Familiar smells feeling strange....... in my case it was a newly-lighted match, Fairy Liquid. Same with tastes.....wine, cigarettes(a loooong time ago!!).

Skiptonlass · 18/08/2015 13:18

'Uncontrollable vomiting' did it for me.... :)

themumfairy · 18/08/2015 13:25

I blew my nose and had a little blood in it.
also I check my heart rate on my phone using an app and it had increased from 60 bpm to 78.
mine has always been quite low so that's when I took a test

newtonupontheheath · 18/08/2015 13:27

Pregnancy rhinitis... Also know as being really snotty. So so snotty and wondering where I'd picked up a cold
From.

mummypig3 · 18/08/2015 13:29

Bleeding gums and extra saliva

Karelia81 · 18/08/2015 13:33

First I knew was when period did not arrive, test was positive day after. All those other symptoms appeared, to varying degrees, at around week 6 onwards.

Junosmum · 18/08/2015 14:00

lower back ache
feeling dizzy
implantation bleeding did it for me

ComeLuckyApril · 18/08/2015 14:31

Suddenly very hungry...but also sick, day before positive test.

CheesyWater · 18/08/2015 14:43

Dizziness and fainting.

Hotpotpie · 18/08/2015 14:53

I had a weird feeling like being swollen around my fanjo, everything felt bigger than it should be, also everything stank all of a sudden and I could taste metal

chopsface · 18/08/2015 14:58

My pre positive test symptoms were...

1- feeling slightly hungover
2-headaches
3-vivid dreams (which I'm still getting at 23weeks!)

SpaggyBollocks · 18/08/2015 15:03

had to ditch the cigs 'cause they made me gag.

and I had to start feeding the cat outside. bleugh.

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 18/08/2015 15:11

I was very yellow around the eyes for some strange reason.

Peeing a lot, extreme tiredness, constant nausea and weight loss were other signs for me.

Such a joyful time Grin

Roomba · 18/08/2015 17:45

Extreme tiredness - suddenly needing naps all the time as I was so shattered! That happened before my period was even due. With my first pregnancy I had an awful metallic taste all the time fro about 4 weeks onwards.

I actually dreamed that I was pregnant both time too, both well before I knew. The first time I dreamed that my work colleague was congratulating me and asked how far along I was. 'Oh, only three weeks' I replied, and woke up thinking that was very odd. A week later - BFP! Second time around I dreamed I was having a scan and that I was 8 weeks pregnant. I missed no periods until I was 28 weeks pregnant and got BFN when I tested at approx 9 weeks (due to the dream and also was exhausted). So it was a big shock when I found out so late, but when I worked it out, my dream was pretty spot on. My brain knew even if the rest of me didn't!

mummypig3 · 18/08/2015 21:40

Roomba didn't you have a bump at 28 weeks?

lilyb84 · 18/08/2015 22:01

Extreme tiredness for me too - I took a daytime nap on a Saturday nearly a week before my period was due and that's almost unheard of for me! Also some twinges in my lower abdomen which continued for a few days after my bfp.

A big sign for me was not being able to handle my alcohol - I had 2 1/2 pints on two occasions before I knew I was pregnant and was disproportionately hungover both times.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 18/08/2015 22:06

Like others, exhaustion, vivid dreams, nausea, hideous stomach pain, dizziness but also sudden alcohol aversion.

2daysFishIsTroutALaCreme · 18/08/2015 22:08

My nipples changed colour. It was 4 days later before i saw a BFP.

stairway · 19/08/2015 04:55

Hot flushes and night sweats for me.. Thought it was early menopause!

TerrorAustralis · 19/08/2015 05:22

Period pain, but no period.
Plus the tiredness, food aversions, weird tastes and nausea (vomiting came later).

TriJo · 19/08/2015 09:57

A lot more farting and burping than usual!

lauraa4 · 19/08/2015 10:39

Period pains but no period. Also sore nipples and extreme tiredness.
