First time round nipples were literally fizzing, so weird!

Second time didn’t get that, maybe as I was still breastfeeding. My heart rate on my Fitbit kept going up. Then period didn’t turn up, kind of a give away.

Exhaustion beyond words! Then nausea and breast pain.

InDreamland · 13/06/2018 19:23

Lots of hot flushes even when I was lying down (I thought I was going through early menopause), light headedness and dizziness, headaches, extreme tiredness, felling nauseous and sore boobs. Then AF was late.

I was in work, feeling a bit weird and like I had a raging temperature so I had to go home. I don't remember whether I had a test at home or whether I bought one on the way but either way I tested and had the strongest purple line I think I have ever seen (compared to pics I see on here). Then came the sore boobs, omg.

BoiledFrog · 13/06/2018 19:37

Do you think maybe symptoms are stronger for a first pregnancy? I had the mega sore boobs and exhaustion plus later nausea/sickness. Not really much at all for the subsequent two.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 13/06/2018 19:39

Boobs were agony.

RideOn · 13/06/2018 19:59

A weird metallic taste that I haven't had since. It is hard to describe but I knew it the second and subsequent times

sophhhxo · 13/06/2018 20:12

Its crazy how many different symptoms people have/notice!

Some here that I have never heard before!

Intense migraine! So bad I couldn’t see. This was 5 days before period was due. I took a test as we had been trying and it came up with a very faint line. Had the migraine for 4 days and each day I took a test and the line got darker.
I had had 5 miscarriages before but I just knew I was pregnant really early. This was my only successful pregnancy and we now have a beautiful daughter.

sophhhxo · 13/06/2018 20:23

That's so lovely Fartootiredtobeawake!

Minus the intense migraines! Haha! xo

Nausea - thought I was dying!

butlerswharf · 13/06/2018 20:28

Crazy exhaustion and loads of mini burps!

legofansmum · 13/06/2018 20:28

Strange metallic taste in mouth, sore tingly boobs and a heightened sense of smell. I used to have to take a carrier bag to be sick in everywhere , to get to my flat st the time I had to walk past Subway and some days that would make me vomit.

NCPuffin · 13/06/2018 20:31

Sore boobs and bloating- exactly what I get before my period. Once I'd tested at 3+4 I noticed a weird gnawing feeling in my tummy and lots of burps. That was before the nausea set in - 24+5 now and threw up today!

DameSylvieKrin · 13/06/2018 20:35

I clearly felt the implantation. A couple of days later I felt cold all the time, didn't know that was a symptom til I googled. Then I went to bed at 8pm two days in a row.

pickleface · 13/06/2018 20:36

Really sensitive sense of smell!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 13/06/2018 20:37

Missed period, both times.

Lavendersblue42 · 13/06/2018 20:39

Lightheadedness and feeling like a pube kept getting caught in my knicker elastic on one side Blush

NoLongerAskedForID · 13/06/2018 20:40

Itchy/tingly nipples!!

I'd heard about it but couldn't quite believe it (I'd stopped symptom spotting after month 9 of trying).

But... It was actually a thing!!

Kittykat93 · 13/06/2018 20:40

A mouth full of ulcers. And falling asleep at like 7pm on the sofa every night! Caused me to take a test the day I was due my period and it was positive !

Ary2017 · 13/06/2018 20:42

Sore boob & constant peeing

3luckystars · 13/06/2018 20:44

Mad vivid dreams!

Thirst.

clairehr · 13/06/2018 20:47

Period type cramps, dizziness, really thirsty, sore boobs before AF due, but nothing really since BFP.

Wallywobbles · 13/06/2018 20:50

Boobs.

sophhhxo · 13/06/2018 20:56

I definitely look out for the slightest thing ever and manage to convince myself that its a symptom!

Kittykat93, I have ulcers at the minute!

AF not due for a week, but got everything crossed this month!
