Extremely early symptoms of pregnancy

Hi ladies,
I'm not sure if I'm crazy but I felt like I was pregnant a few days after I think I conceived. My body just felt funny! Did anyone experience something similar?

Sorry to be a downer, but I felt like that almost every month for over 2 years without being pregnant. This month I finally got my BFP With no obvious symptoms. Infact my early pregnancy symptoms are less intense than my normal PMS!

Yes, with my middle child I just knew mega early. My hair and skin went so greasy, none of my tops would lie right because my boobs were so swollen. I started getting faint positives about 10 days before my period was due. First pregnancy I didn’t know until I took a test the day my period was due, last one I was over 10 week before I suspected a thing!

I felt normal till 10dpo, when i had a huge rush of blood to my pelvis, so i was 100% sure (but waited till positive test the next day to tell my other half). This is my 1st but trying for ages.
Did you feel implantation? Its not a common or a sure sign (i had that a few times in earlier months and negative tests)

I had extreme tiredness but just put it down to PMT.
I've had months where I've been convinced I am (and not wanted to be) and wasn't and then when I did want to be, I really didn't think I was and was shocked!

I felt some implantations pain and some other strange abdominal cramps!

3 days after I conceived I went totally off coffee, was nauseous and had sore boobs and got a cold sore, which I haven't had in 3 years! I tested positive on 10 DPO. I now believe you can have symptoms that early!

I definitely knew I was pregnant a few days after conception. And believe me, we had been trying for well over a year so they weren't symptoms that I had every month relating to AF. My first sign was feeding my cats and the smell of their food making me retch. Then I was so bloated it was unreal, boobs and nipples hurt so much.

2 days after conception I couldn't eat, I'd been sick, had permanent nausea etc. It was a feeling unlike any I'd had before. Took a test and it was negative... so carried on boozing (I was on holiday!) like there was no tomorrow. Goodness gracious, did I feel guilty when, a month later, I got my BFP!!

So yes, I'd say extremely early symptoms are a thing!

3DC and first sign before period due with every pregnancy was sore breasts and tingly nipples.
Never had any early cramping, even when I had a big bleed at 10 weeks with DC3, only BH in third trimester.

I also had a really early sign that I ignored at the time - middle of the afternoon a few days after conception I suddenly started retching and had to rush to the bathroom as I thought I was being sick. Nothing came but OH joked about me possibly being pregnant as it was so odd. Morning sickness started around 5 weeks in the end. Am now 31 weeks.

PMS is pretty much the same as early pregnancy for me so it was impossible for me to tell the symptoms apart. I felt moody, had sore nipples, cramps low down and was extremely hungry and emotional during both pms and early pregnancy. The nausea didn’t kick in until I was almost 6 weeks.
