I might be losing the plot....

My last period started on 4th June, I calculated my ovulation to be around 20th-24th June (I'm not the best with these calculations!). My periods usually last 7 days, my cycle length is typically 29 days. So due on tomorrow (2nd July). I have been ravenous, I'm usually very controlled as I meal prep weekly and eat no junk food or unhealthy snacks. I feel really swollen, mild cramps but nothing more than I would usually get. But my lower back has also been quite painful, as well as sooooo exhausted when I haven't even been doing anything! I also just feel, different. Very emotional and for no reason.

I took a really cheap test I had lying about the house yesterday evening, it was negative. But figured it was cheap, and quite early to test. Do you think it would be worth grabbing an early detection test, from experience what's the best brand, FR? Has anyone else has really early pregnancy signs, or is it not common for that too happen?

The lack of chronic period pain and irritability.

This was my symptom with DC2. Actually had bleeding but none of the other period symptoms that make me feel like crap.

This is definitely too much information but mine was... Friday & Saturday I had about 5 large bowel movements.. I only go 3 times a week if that, then on the Monday, period pains, but I wasn't due till the Friday after.. so I took a test, sure enough it was positive!

Currently nursing my 2 week old! It took us over 6 months of opts and period tracking on apps and conceive plus lube!

Sore boobs with both pregnancies before period was due. I get this some months anyway but when pregnant it was worse especially with my 1st.
Other than that just late periods, I am usually very regular. I've only been late twice (pregnancy)

secretlyhermione · 02/07/2019 07:38

Very very sore boobs and cramp like feelings. All similar to when I got my period but the sore boobs were way more painful than anything I had. Experienced before. That lasted until about 8 weeks pregnant then went away! Now at 24 weeks

secretlyhermione · 02/07/2019 07:40

Oh and extreme fatigue. Never felt so tired in my life.

stucknoue · 02/07/2019 07:59

I went off alcohol, it was the World Cup, went to the pub and the thought of it revolted me (highly unusual). This was before my period was even due, I then had what I thought was a period but the alcohol issue continued and I started to feel sick

Phoebe88 · 02/07/2019 08:05

Hey
I'm recently pregnant and I had tingles in my nipples about a week before my AF. Waves of sicky feeling. Head aches, very low mood depressed feeling and extreme tiredness xxx

VapeVamp12 · 02/07/2019 08:54

Metallic taste and and sore boobs

Emelene · 02/07/2019 08:58

My period was late. Really, I was hoping but not sure, no real signs. I had quite bad cramping so had just bought a stack more sanitary pads as I was sure my period would start!

Angelinthenightx · 02/07/2019 10:40

I kept getting butterflies in my tummy ,i felt not like my normal self that was 2 days past my period date ,sickness kicked in about 5 days later x

Winterflower84 · 02/07/2019 13:49

Suddenly wanting to drink a lot of water. Strange sensation in the breasts. I was expecting I might be pregnant and almost immediately knew I was.

Ghost88 · 02/07/2019 15:52

I had ALOT of symptoms! I knew instantly I was pregnant and tested every day for a week until I got my positive (and that was 4-5 days early with Clear Blue Early Detection Test) I was 3+3 weeks when I found out.
I had heartburn in my throat so bad. Light headed/dizzy when I stood up. Brushing teeth made me gag. I went off Olives. My lower back was killing me. I was utterly exhausted. Nausea (which has gotten terribly worse) Needed a wee all the time. And inherited the nose of a sniffer dog quite early on, I remember sitting next to somebody at work for lunch and sniffing out the onions in her spag bol!!! I just knew...

Ghost88 · 02/07/2019 15:54

Oh and the main one for me were cramps... but not period pains, cant actually explain how I knew they were different? But yeah, that was most of mine!

Ceebs85 · 02/07/2019 18:05

Chanting in my sleep (According to DP)

Going off coffee

Thatnovembernight · 02/07/2019 19:25

My left nipple started tingling in a really weird way that it never had before. Tested positive the same day 😆

cranstonmanor · 02/07/2019 19:28

The ivf doctor called me that the blood test showed that I was pregnant. I hadn't done a home test because I didn't feel pregnant at all. I didn't have any symptoms till 8+4, then nausea hit me full on.

melissa1215 · 02/07/2019 19:29

I had ivf so I might of been symptom spotting but I had a sore throat, and DH said my nipples changed 6 days after embryo transfer (would of been 11 days after ovulation)

WindyScales · 02/07/2019 19:36

Went to the dentist, he said my gums were inflamed is there a chance I could be pregnant? Another time I had a terrible headache which was brought on by a change of hormones

TotheletterofthelawTHELETTER · 02/07/2019 19:36

Incredibly sore boobs. I used to get heavy breasts with pmt but this was worse. It started like 2 days after conception.

Being pregnant didn’t cross my mind initially as I had issues with irregular periods and hormones. So it was only when I missed 2 periods that I did a test, and even then I only tested to rule out pregnancy as I had been told by GP to go back in if my periods were more than 8 weeks apart. All that time I thought my sore boobs were due to pmt and when GP worked out my dates they’d been sore since conception.

I had no other symptoms at all. My morning sickness started the morning after the positive test.

mamaofboyzz · 02/07/2019 19:38

All three times extremely tired no matter how much rest or sleep I get

JellyBaby666 · 02/07/2019 19:45

Nausea and sore boobs for me. I did a clear blue digital 2 days before I was due on, and it was negative and I was crushed. Felt incredibly nauseous which isn’t a usual PMT symptom for me. I tested with a first response on the day I was due on and it was positive. Confirmed with another clear blue digital which said pregnant. As someone said up thread, CB aren’t that sensitive. Fingers crossed for you OP.

CacenCrunch · 02/07/2019 19:45

Sore boobs

Dontforgetyourbrolly · 02/07/2019 19:48

A really really bad headache that lasted a whole day and milk tasting ' off". But I didn't connect these with being pg because I was waiting for more traditional symptoms of morning sickness and sore boobs ( but didn't get either !)

Refilona · 02/07/2019 19:49

Mine was a positive pregnancy test!
