I felt symptoms really early. I think I noticed them because I had only just come off the pill and wasn't used to feeling anything during my cycles, so it stood out for me.

I had really really mild sharp pains localised to one spot in my back which i only felt when walking 5dpo. This then moved to my uterus over a few days. It ended up feeling like super mild period pain by 8dpo. then all those crampy symptoms went away and my left boob became tender. Took a test at 11dpo and it was positive.

One weird symptom before I found out was that my pee smelt really strong... Now I know it was just my heightened sense of smell.

Fingers crossed for you Smile

First time I had a huge nosebleed whilst drying my hair and I never get nosebleeds but it was like a massive clot - apparently to do with the huge increase in blood!
Second time no idea in fact was sure I wasn’t did a test on due day and was negative so got very drunk at family party that night two days later still felt shockingly hungover so tested again positive!!

Slept 12 hours one night and felt exhausted the day after, after just a couple of hours trip to the shopping centre. Hadn’t worried about missed period as it was due on the day of a promotion interview so I thought I had just been stressed!

Oh i definitely remember gagging at the smell when I put petrol in my car!

OMG guys look!!! Apparently I wasn’t going crazy and my feeling off was for a reason... I know it’s faint but it’s still a positive right?

Felt like my period was coming but it didn't. Was very emotional for the 3 days around implantation (according to my fiancé) and it tasted like I was sucking pennies. First I was late for me for period (I have a short cycle), then late late for a period but I didn't want to test too early and get hopes up but tested at day 30 of cycle when I feeling sick in the morning and my boobs were properly sore I did a test. It had turned pink positive literally as soon as I'd peed on the stick. The first trimester hormones hit like a sledgehammer (extreme bloating, weaponised nipples that hurt in a breeze, constant nausea, penny taste in mouth, emotional and tired) and just seemed to ramp up and up all the time, but started to get better about week 11. Second trimester's been lovely though so far and feeling the baby wriggle is the best.
