What were the tell tale signs you thought you were pregnant before you took a test?

DD1- sore breasts
DD2- nothing. No symptoms until around 7 weeks
Just found out (this morning!) that I am pregnant with DC3... prompted to take a test as I came downstairs while DH was cooking scrambled egg for breakfast and the smell made me retch!

Excessive saliva and nausea (due to the saliva most likely) at just after 4 weeks.

Also had quite a lot of watery/creamy CM which had bells ringing as it is supposed to dry up before AF.

I was trying to ignore it though, as it was only my second month off the pill and I just assumed my body was being weird!

I ended up taking 2 tests at what turned out to be 4+3 going by lmp and got 2 strong positives.

I had no real symptoms during my TWW.

Raging hunger. Waking up in the middle of the night for a wee. Super sensitive smell.

Sore breasts and bloating!

I couldn’t get a regular size (for me) top over my bust in M& S at what would have been 3+5. I was puzzled as usually their stuff fits. Did a few tests, and there you go!
By 5 weeks I’d gone up 2 cup sizes!

First Pregnancy
Sore boobs much earlier in the cycle than usual
Half a glass of champagne made me want to vomit
Awesome sex

Second Pregnancy
I'd been trying for almost a year at that point and I actually felt like i'd fewer 'pregnancy' symptoms that cycle than previous ones. But looking back, the key things were ...
Very stuffy nose
Easily tired/out of breath (by about 5 weeks)

DD1: boobs looked bigger from about 5 weeks - I tested at 6 weeks. I also suddenly felt really faint at what was about 4 1/2 weeks but didn't really connect it to pregnancy til afterwards

DD2: a sip of hot chocolate made me feel sick, then felt really faint again at about 4+3. Tested at what worked out to 4+5 purely because of that as was not having periods at the time!

Nothing except cramping!

I've had quite painful cramps and some brown discharge but I'm not getting my BFP starting to think it's just AF

I ordered poached eggs in a restaurant and nearly threw up the moment I took a bite.
