Pregnancy symptoms before missed period

Hi, I'm new here so hope I'm posting in the right place and please excuse my username, it won't let me change it!
I'm just wondering if anyone can help me really, my last period was 20th May. About a week and half ago, I started feeling really sick and dizzy, to the point I thought was going to pass out and having headaches on and off. I've also been really tired (my eyes have been so heavy at times I found it hard to keep them open!) and a few days a go I started to get a funny tingly feeling in my left breast underneath which has got more sensitive as the days have gone on.
I have a little boy who is 20 months and I felt sick/dizzy/headaches/tired for weeks with him - I can't remember how bad I was though, it's amazing how you forget!

I've not missed my period yet, it's supposed to be due tomorrow I think (they've been all over the place since I came off the pill in January) but I did a test this morning and I'm sure there's the faintest of faint lines. It's hardly visible though and my husband says there's nothing there!
What do you think?

I can see the faintest shadow of a line. With my first I knew I was pregnant 5 days before period due when started being sick and could only stomach olives. I got negative tests until 2 days before period due when a digital came up positive. It's definitely possible.

Thank you so much for your reply! It's been driving me mad all day! I thought I was just ill to start with but as it's gone on for so long now I don't think it can be illness! I'll do another test in the morning!

I'm sorry I can't see it. Did you use an early response test?

emilyjayne1990 · 16/06/2017 18:43

No it's just a cheap one from Wilkos! I used them when I was pregnant with my son and I got a faint positive with him. I'm probably testing too early or reading too much into my symptoms but I know I've not imagined them.

The cheapies usually aren't as sensitive at picking up the hormone levels so might take a little longer to be positive.

I just found out today that I'm pregnant. My last period was 19th may and I was three days late with 6 negative test. Got a first response and it came up positive. Iv felt nauseous, tired, crampy and sore boobs for a week and a half xx

emilyjayne1990 · 16/06/2017 20:41

MummyGofboys congratulations! you sound the same as me! I'll do another cheap test in the morning and perhaps pop out and buy a first response. My period just tends to arrive when it likes but my period tracker says it's due tomorrow. I've just got a niggling feeling that I am but I could be wrong! X

MummyGofboys · 16/06/2017 20:48

Yeah sounds similar. I have a 26day cycle and I am never late. I would defo get a first response to check xx

Cramping stomach and friend's cat literally hugging my tummy (one paw either side) when slept on my lap (never slept on me before). Did test next day!

It's so cute. She isn't usually this cuddly xx

I got my BFP yesterday and just had a pretty firm feeling that I was pregnant before hand, so much so that I bought a test earlier in the week! My sense of smell was off as was my appetite but I still managed to put on a hideous amount of weight within 10 days. Also, I woke yesterday morning and my first thought was 'I feel sick' ... my second was 'do the test NOW'!
I didn't tell anyone as thought'maybe I'm imagining it' but have guessed I was expecting for 3 of my pregnancies.
Everyone is different though, I have a friend who didn't realise she was expecting until she went to her gp with stomach cramps and was told she was 5 months! - she just had no symptoms and barely showed at all- even at full term!

emilyjayne1990 · 16/06/2017 21:58

Thank you everyone for your replies! My symptoms come and go so that's making me more paranoid it's in my head! But I know I was definitely nearly sick 3 times yesterday and the last week and half has been terrible trying to keep my little boy entertained and keep a business running! Thanks again x
