Just that really! Wondering what your pregnancy signs was before BFP? And how many DPO you was when you found out?

Currently 5DPO and for the first time I have the sniffles and a snore throat ( could just have caught a cold but I tend to clutch on to straws)!

Cramping and ovary pain were mine. I got my BFP at 4+3 but I knew well before that!

blackpinkinyourarea · 13/01/2020 11:00

I had no symptoms whatsoever. I took a test because my temperature was still elevated and i was convinced it was going to be negative! I had been taking tests since 10dpo which were negative, and got a positive at 13dpo.

Boymummy3 · 13/01/2020 11:01

This time around sore boobs but didn't realise I was Pregnant till I was 9 weeks.

MrsSokhi · 13/01/2020 11:05

Slight crampy feeling not like period pains, Id missed my period before I got my positive tested 10 dpo and negative xx

Pilot12 · 13/01/2020 11:16

I had none until six weeks, I only knew I was pregnant when I tested on the day my period was due. I even got my normal period is coming cramps.

GaaaaarlicBread · 13/01/2020 11:33

Sore boobs not like when I was expecting my period though, they were a different kind of sore . And I just felt pregnant , I didn’t feel quite ‘normal’. I tested on the day my period was due ,I don’t recommend testing earlier as I’ve read so many women on here feel disappointed when they’ve tested at 9DPO for example, got a negative and then get their BFP at 14DPO . Just wait til your period is due and then test . Good luck :) I was 12DPO on the day my period was due and the line was very dark . Not a squinter that’s for sure. I was 3weeks+5 I think. Currently 7W+1 and suffering morning sickness , no longer got sore boobs.

I was in a vile mood, would have argued with my own shadow, like turbo charged PMS. I was 12 dpo when I got my gp, we had been on holiday the week before & nearly got divorced, we came home sunday lunchtime, I knew something wasn't right, did a test & it was positive.

Rosehip345 · 14/01/2020 02:00

1st Tingly boobs almost instantly
2nd None at all, the whole pregnancy! No pos test until 21dpo
3rd None at all eventually missed 3rd period
4th Tingly boobs instantly like 0dpo!

Lf89 · 14/01/2020 06:36

Sore and swollen boobs from about 3dpo (I'd gone from an A to C!!) And nausea from 5dpo. Got BFP on 11dpo. I'm clearly very sensitive to hormones! Good luck x

Roselilly36 · 14/01/2020 06:41

I went off tea, milk tasted sour. I felt very tired. Still had cramping pain like a period was about to start. It didn’t DS1 is 18 now!

Lovelostnfoundx · 14/01/2020 07:07

Found out at 4+6. My puppy jumped on my boobs when I was sitting in the sofa and it really hurt. I suddeny had the realisation I was late and went to get the test.

Chanel05 · 14/01/2020 08:07

I found out at 10dpo. I had no symptoms whatsoever I just did a cheapie because my husband asked me to. I woke up early and did one and was going to put it back in the packet to look at later (as I thought there would be nothing to look at) and a line appeared straight away. Immediately heading for Waitrose at 7.30am.

Jj93x · 14/01/2020 09:23

I had bad period like cramps and really really itchy nipples. I also had nausea from quite early on too!

debbs77 · 14/01/2020 09:28

Got a cold, cramps, itchy teeth (!!!!), and boobs tingling.

I got a faint positive at 11dpo, which was a week before my period was due. (Which is due this thursday. I am 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant!)

Happythoughts123 · 14/01/2020 14:26

First symptom was change in discharge - more of it and really milky. Also change in smell down there - not bad smell but almost just increase in hormones or something! Or maybe my sense of smell was just more sensitive! 😂
Bfp at the 15dpo which was accompanied by very light cramping.

chlo04 · 14/01/2020 16:37

Thanks everyone!

@Happythoughts123 !!

Thank you very much for your reply! I've currently got milky white discharge ! But not loads and loads and have had a headache today!

However do have the dreaded winter cold so could be all to do with that!

Did you get any hint of a line before you tested ? What test did you use or you don't mind me asking? X

FurryGrapes · 14/01/2020 16:49

10dpo I got a faint positive but could barely see it. Implantation doesn't normally occur until at least 8dpo so unlikely to get symptoms before that. I didn't have many symptoms, I couldn't sleep as well and had a headache, but nothing obvious. Most of my symptoms began in the 5th or 6th week of pregnancy.

IslayBrigid · 14/01/2020 17:02

I wrote notes on my cycle app so I could go back and compare the next cycle TTC if I wasn't pregnant (I was) and first note I took was that my sense of smell seemed heightened, but maybe I was imagining it haha.

First major obvious possible sign was that I got a really big cold at 4dpo which lasted till about 7dpo so this could definitely be a sign! The immune system lowers to accept the embryo. I also remember eating olives and goat's cheese (which I usually love) and being kind of disgusted by them, thinking they tasted really weird, almost metallic.

I took a test at 10dpo and a line appeared nearly straight away.

I'm now 7+1 weeks :) Nausea has started to set in in earnest but didn't start till about 6 weeks.

Hope you get a bfp! x

IslayBrigid · 14/01/2020 17:04

Oh yes and after my BFP I started having quite strong cramps even though I had 4 days before my period started, which was another sign as I don't usually cramp until my period actually starts.

rosie561 · 14/01/2020 17:07

A few days after ovulation I had a bad sore throat that just came on. At 6DPO I got this terrible period pain-like cramping, it lasted for about an hour, it was the kind of pain that makes you gasp and need to sit down, then it just....went away. I really don't know if implantation pain is a thing, but if it's possible to feel it I'm certain that's what it was. Got the vaguest shadow of a line on an IC test on both 8DPO and 9DPO but not bright enough to be convincing, then on 10DPO I got 1-2weeks on a clear blue digital.

ParkheadParadise · 14/01/2020 17:18

With Dd2 I didn't find out I was pregnant untilI was 5mths.
Had no symptoms, was on the pill and was still having light periods.
I developed a pain in my back, thought i had a kidney infection.
Went to the doctors told him what I thought was wrong with me. He asked if I could be pregnant, I laughed out loud,Dd1 was 23!
I wasn't laughing when he said the test was positive. I bought a total of 10 tests in the next 24 hrs convinced they were faulty.
Dd2 is 4 now.

Happythoughts123 · 14/01/2020 17:32

@chlo04 I didn’t have loads and loads but it definitely was a slight increase - enough to notice the change. I tested FRER at 9dpo and 11dpo and got BFN tested clear blue at 15dpo and got BFP. Fingers crossed for you hun x

greenemerald · 14/01/2020 18:08

Found out 9DPO when I tested and first sign was implantation bleeding that began 6DPO - knew my period couldn't have come that early! And it was really light in colour but continued for 7 days.

LaurenL7 · 14/01/2020 18:25

@chlo04 I found out 8DPO but the line on the pregnancy test was super faint. You could see it just about but I know people have got a BFN around the same time even though it turned out they were pregnant after all.

I didn’t have any signs until a couple of days later and that was just sore boobs. Currently only 4 weeks and 1 day so I’ve got my fingers crossed everything is going to be ok! Xx

DrivingMsCrazy · 14/01/2020 18:34

I had some tingling and extra sensitivity in my boobs before I tested. Sorry no idea how many day PO - I had only recently come off the pill and wasn't tracking cycles or anything as we were just starting ttc so I wasn't sure if it was hormonal changes due to stopping pill.

I was then waiting for my period when I realised my morning coffee tasted odd. Not the famous metallic taste, more like I couldn't taste it at all, as if my sense of taste was dulled. I had no appetite for a couple of days, no period when it was due, felt like I was "hungover" when I hadn't been drinking, very sluggish. Tested when my period was 2-3 days late and got the bfp Smile
