Can people give me an idea of what symptoms they had if any before they were able to take a test about 1 week - 10 days after ovulation thanks

A huge period cramp. Just one that lasted about a minute. Boobs sore. Feeling slightly 'off' like mildly faint and then I got a cold. Both times I've been pregnant

londonloves · 24/05/2017 20:17

I was STARVING hungry 24/7 no matter what I ate, for about the first three weeks.

Terrible diahorrea (sp??)

So far I've had tender nipples nauser once and a metallic taste in my mouth but I don't know if I am pregnant yet and if I am then am nearly 3 weeks.

Period type cramps for 2 weeks bad back sore boobs and very hungry, thought I was getting my first period after nexplanon removal turns out i am pregnant caught straight away!

sparechange · 24/05/2017 20:24

Needing the loo 2 or 3 times a night
Insomnia/not being able to get back to sleep once I'd been to the loo
Not being able to string a sentence together properly and forgetting the word I wanted to use - like when I have a hangover Wink

inspiredbutohsotired · 24/05/2017 20:27

Sore achy boobs!

Maggy74653 · 24/05/2017 20:29

I didn't have any symptoms before my positive test. With both pregnancies I got a positive test at 9dpo.

QuestionARhino · 24/05/2017 20:36

I had a tugging pain above my belly button for 2 weeks

beccii161016 · 24/05/2017 20:40

I didn't have many but my first every symptom was actually a food aversion. I thought I'd cook myself a bacon and egg sandwich but smelled the egg whisky it was cooking and heaved. I thought it was off so I checked the dates and put them in water - they were fine. I wasted 5 eggs before I realised maybe it wasn't the eggs! 2 weeks later and a positive test! I was only 4 weeks when I got my BFP so can't have been more than 2 weeks when I had my aversion!

beccii161016 · 24/05/2017 20:41

I had a lot of errors in my previous post haha I meant to say "whilst the egg was cooking"

CurlyhairedAssassin · 24/05/2017 20:41

I noticed that I smelled different DOWN THERE. Wink

I just knew that my body was in a different state before even doing a test.

Thanks,

I have had a tugging pain in the top of my tummy, I have a hey arms/legs, tired all the time, my favourite food I suddenly think tastes completely vile, not hungry all the time but when I eat I'm eating more/bigger portions. I completely went mental at my partner last night then next minute was crying my eyes out to him and still 24 hours later I couldn't tell you why! X

Sore boobs, sensitive teeth (only right at the start, not since), a weird smell in my nose that didn't leave for the longest time, and when I dtd with hubby the night before I took my first pregnancy test I noticed that my cervix was way higher than normal for that time of my cycle - normally he had to be careful around that time of the month or he'd hit my cervix which was uncomfortable to say the least! Basically a lot of little things that I didn't add up at the time, only later - the sore boobs were very much a pre-AF symptom anyway, I thought I was imagining the smell and I figured the sensitive teeth just meant I should use better toothpaste. Grin The cervix thing got me wondering and hoping though, which is why I took the test the next morning ...

CatRash · 25/05/2017 20:49

I got my BFP around 11/12 dpo, before that date I had a very stiff neck, excema suddenly flared up on my hands and my cat became ultra clingy. Could have all been sheer coincidences though!!

I've had cramping pretty much since the day I conceived is that normal? I'm 5 weeks 3days. Very sore boobs also and extremely tired! Also needing to wee in the middle of the night which is rare for me!

reetgood · 25/05/2017 21:57

Super tired, before everything else. I thought it was just an active weekend. Proper lying around not really functioning

LadyAlanPartridge · 25/05/2017 22:05

Hunger. Like you haven't eaten in a week.

Lemondrop99 · 25/05/2017 23:55

Sod all really. I have every symptom under the sun for months, then AF turned up.

The month I was actually pregnant, I had nothing unusual. I had cramps and sore boobs, but these are also AF signs so I thought she was about the show up. The only difference was that the cramps felt more like stretches and went on for a whole week but with no AF. That's when I started to realise maybe AF wasn't late but actually wasn't coming.

I think symptom spotting can drive you a bit stir crazy and generally isn't very helpful Confused

I think you snare right there about symptom spotting! There's such a fine line between Af and early symptoms isn't there! X

Crushingly tired. Like could barely move. Also feeling very nauseous. This was 3 days before I was due. Still, it didn't click. It was only when my pregnant friend said 'you know you're pregnant right?' That it all made sense.
