Me and my husband have been TTC for 2 years, this last week I've felt bloated , sickness , and strange tastes in my mouth - I'm not due on for another 5 days but I just feel different , can you have symptoms this early on? Did anyone else know before they a pregnancy test to confirm?

Yeah - I was really bloated and had twinges and cramps. I took a FRER 6 days before my missed period and it was positive. When will you try a pregnancy test? Good luck!!

Good luck... not to sound like a downer but I went a bit crazy symptom-watching in those two week waits and was convinced several times, but actually they were just pre-period symptoms. I think the best thing is just to try not to think about it at all, set a reminder on your phone when your period is due and only test then. Helped my sanity! Good luck to you Flowers

I got a faint positive five days before my period using a first response. Maybe try first thing tomorrow?

Umberta · 30/12/2019 15:50

Ps obviously I really hope this month is your lucky one!! Just for me, it helped not to get my hopes up too much xx

Thank you all for your replies , trying not to get my hopes up - might be all in my head because we have been waiting so long now Blush

I was driving home from work and could taste penny's but now wasn't sure if I was just thirsty and imagining it and it's only been 11 days since we had sex so think it's way too early to get any symptoms

A metallic taste in my mouth was one of my first symptoms of DC2. It was before I missed my period.

custarws · 30/12/2019 16:59

Oooooo I'm hoping so !

A metallic taste in my mouth was one of the first symptoms with DC1, a few days before I was due on. Good luck.

custarws · 30/12/2019 17:07

Hopefully then - this would be the best new year Crown Smile

Do you have a FRER? If so you should test with it first thing tomorrow! FMU is best.

Fingers crossed for you 🤞

custarws · 30/12/2019 18:36

I will pick one up tomorrow Smile

I had symptoms at 6DPO , which is ridiculously early and I was reading on forums everyone saying it was too early for symptoms but I just knew I was pregnant. Never been pregnant before but I just knew I didn’t feel right . Did a test at 12DPO and it was the darkest line I’ve ever seen ! And clear blue digital said pregnant. I couldn’t believe it. So I hope you get this luck too! Let us know xx

custarws · 30/12/2019 18:48

Oh that's so nice to hear ! How lovely ! Think I might wait a few more days just in case 🤩

Don't keep us hanging! Buy a FRER and pee on it first thing in the morning! Grin

SnoozyLou · 30/12/2019 19:05

I had massive hormone shifts before my missed period - massive mood swings followed by very sore breasts. Metallic taste is common too.

meow1989 · 30/12/2019 19:14

I didnt have symptoms, however I did get my bfp (faint line) 6 days before my period was due which was about 14 days from conception (I think).

TheBabyAteMyBrain · 30/12/2019 19:17

I randomly threw up 5 says before my period was due with dc2 and knew it had started. I suffered with awful sickness until birth with both dc. I would easily vomit 15 times a day.

custarws · 30/12/2019 21:11

I'm pregnant 😳

Can you this early on?
