Very early pregnancy symptoms

[WhereAreAllTheUsernames]

I'm currently on the mini pill but feel a bit 'different' recently. My period was early which I know is common on the mini pill, but it's concerned me.

Can you please share with me your very early pregnancy symptoms that you experienced?

I know I should take a test and I will once I pluck up the courage !

mine was sickness and I could smell EVERYTHING a lot more than usual

Drink and food tasted different. Especially tea.

Needing the toilet in the middle of the night and being overly emotional.

Boobs hurt, everything smelt very strong and cups of tea tasted like fish.

My consistent earliest symptom (3 pregnancies) has been having really unsettled sleep and waking up much earlier than usual, and alert. It doesn’t last long (until about 5/6 weeks, so around the time I would be testing I suppose) but that has always been the biggest indicator!

Other early symptoms I have had include tender breasts, slight aching in the lower back (apparently from the pg hormones that relax joints, coupled with my already dodgy back), and getting tired much earlier in the day/evening (eg having a post-work nap, could be linked to the lack of proper sleep though!).

Thanks for replying. I've been waking up throughout the night actually but have put it down to being stressed.

@WhereAreAllTheUsernames have you tested yet? 😊

Extreme tiredness and drinking half a glass of wine made me feel ill. I also went in a hot tub and felt very off.

I'm EXHAUSTED, I've only just found out 3 days ago so part of me thinks its psychological but I was too tired to function earlier and ended up having a 2 hour 'nap' after work.

I had a tugging feeling in my lower abdomen. I was thirstier than normal and very gassy 🙈

Rodgers yes I have and it was negative. I'm starting to think my symptoms are more stress related now.
