Did you know before your missed period? Did you have any symptoms and if so, what were they?

3 weeks on the dot. Was waking up hungry (hungriest I've ever felt) and the hungry feeling would come back every hour after eating. I had to constantly eat as to not feel sick. Tested at what was 3w and had my first positive test. I also had bad head aches when I never get those, and my tiredness was extreme ! I think this was a day or so before my period was due when I tested, although they think I was having a long cycle as I ovulated a lot later that month so was maybe 4 days before period was due.

I missed my period by a day. I was like clockwork. Took a test that day and got a BFP! It was very clear and for so early on too! I actually had no symptoms until about 16 weeks I had 2 weeks of burning sore boobs and a bit of heartburn which lasted all my 2nd and 3rd trimester

Didn't know before missed period - no symptoms. But I tested a few days after period late as I was actively trying.

With my first, I had a thirst that I couldn't quench before my missed period. I just had to keep drinking water day and night. At night I'd wake up so thirsty I'd drink a bottle of water in seconds.
With my second, I had loose bowels before a missed period.
Both times I tested the day before period was due and got my positives
