How many dpo did you get your first symptoms and what were they?

[Pinkroses21]

Hi everyone. I'm new to this. I'm currently going through the 2ww and I'm on 3dpo. I'm just wanting to find out from others who have had their BFP what your first symptoms were and how soon did you experience them? Thanks! x

My pregnancy was unplanned. Looking back I’m convinced that I had my first symptom 10 dpo or so when I woke up drenched in sweat having a hot flash. After that I had what I thought were strong PMT symptoms with a missing period. Achey swollen boobs and a dull ache in my lower back and tummy. Woke up 24 dpo with mild nausea and suspected something was up and got BFP that night.

According to my Fitbit and my research I kind of suspected I was due to ovulate on a Thursday. The following Tuesday to Thursday I had an unusually sore lower back however I brushed that off thinking I was being silly. Then Saturday came and I suffered terrible period like pains all day which I knew wasn't like me as my period wasn't due for a whole week. The period like pain lasted nearly a full day. I didn't get a positive until 8 days later (1 day past my period due date) I knew I had conceived, I just felt it. I'm now 19 weeks with my first little boy Good luck xx

I remember this clearly because I was in Wales staying in a Yurt for a wedding lol.

I didnt have a sore back/sore boobs, but I do remember just feeling absolutely shit. I can describe it as either just coming down, or just getting over being ill, must have been about 10 or so DPO. A couple of days after that I had a positive test.

In the 2ww I had a metallic taste in my mouth and was really thirsty. I also had a really strong sense of smell e.g. one day a colleague had eggs for their lunch and I could smell it through a closed door at the other end of a corridor!

Pelvic and ovary cramping from about 7 dpi

Tiredness (falling asleep on the sofa, very unlike me) and when I look back the worst cramping in my legs through the night! X
