What noticeable symptoms did you get before you got your BFP and how many dpo were you??

Just curious as it seems like it could be nothing or Everything when you are ttc! Grin

Bloating, tugging and pulling in my pelvis, needing to blow my nose constantly due to mucus, discharge.

I got my BFP 8 DPO 😊

I had really sore boobs which got bigger pretty quick and went off food I was also a moody horrible bitch to my mum who is normally my best friend but everything she did drove me insane, my first pregnancy wasn't planned and I think I found out around 5 weeks.

Nothing. Only clue was late period. I tested when a day late as was regular as clockwork.

I thought I had symptoms in previous months but was just my imagination.

My boobs were so sore. I rolled on to my front in bed the day before I tested and thought, ouch, well that's not normal. I would usually get tender boobs just before my period, but this was on another level.

No symptoms for me. I just had a sudden urge to take a pregnancy test the evening before I was due on. Woke DH up just before midnight waving the test in his face asking him if there was really a line there!

Crazy dreams and waking up at 5.30am, after an mc and several chemical pregnancies in a row I knew it every single time.

First baby my sense of smell increased dramatically and then shortly after the sickness came

Second baby I had no symptoms at all before my BFP

I really think this is down to how far gone I was when I found out. First baby wasn't planned so I was further on weeks wise so had more symptoms setting in. Second baby was planned so I was constantly on the look out for any sign and I knew exactly when my period was due so tested as soon as I could therefore I wasn't far enough along to have many symptoms.

Sore, larger boobs and I was SO tired, couldn't stay awake passed 9pm. I didn't do a test till 10 days after my missed period though!

Michette · 19/02/2020 10:52

Thank you all for the replies!

I am 11dpo and took a frer today
Had the faintest thing but might just be an evap/indent 😑

The only symptom I got was I felt very bloated and gassy! My period was about 10 days late by that point as I delayed testing as I’d had so many negatives. The nausea kicked in a couple of weeks later

Nowayorhighway · 19/02/2020 11:40

Intense cramping, surprised me how strong it actually was.

MrsESR · 22/02/2020 16:26

Started this cycle 25/1 (average cycle 31 days). Have not tracked ovulation so not sure which day it occurred on!

Boobs have felt heavy and sore since CD18, with really painful nipples between CD24-27.

AF-like pain on CD22 followed by brown cm when wiping.

CD24-25 dark brown spotting.

CD27 period pain in evening (convinced AF had arrived but hadn't)

CD29 (today) BFP 2 very dark lines on FRER test done with FMU.

Don't think it has sunk in yet that we got a positive test, waiting for the emotions to hit me! This is our 2nd month of TTC #1 and I wasn't expecting any good news this soon!

Good luck to all hoping for a BFP! xx

MissingSilence · 22/02/2020 16:37

I was starving hungry - I had a few other small things, but it was the ridiculous hunger that really made me think “maybe...”

CouscousEvaporator · 22/02/2020 16:46

I was tired with heavy legs and looked a bit pale. (Still have this 😆)

All the usual symptoms attributed to early signs (eg funny taste in mouth, cm increase, bigger boobs) I get every month due to progesterone, so symptom spotting was unfortunately not helpful for me.

Sending luck x

SophieJosie95 · 23/02/2020 07:55

I was really lightheaded and dizzy for roughly a month, I booked myself into the doctors as I have a history of blood pressure issues & I found out I was pregnant last Sunday. Went to doctor anyway & she said my BP was fine!

That was my only real symptom aside from tiredness x

TheVanguardSix · 23/02/2020 07:56

the nipples!

bluemoon2468 · 23/02/2020 08:50

I ovulated on the Wednesday, then on the Monday had terrible cramps all day which I now realise must have been implantation cramps. From Tuesday onwards had terrible reflux when lying down, started to feel tired and nauseous and started having the craziest dreams at night. Got a very faint positive on a One Step (internet cheapie) on the Thursday at 7DPO then confirmed with a BFP on a FRER the next day.

bluemoon2468 · 23/02/2020 08:50

8DPO*

TopOfTheGherkin · 23/02/2020 08:57

DC1: No symptoms before I realised I was a week late, tested and got a BFN. Three days later I was meeting DH for dinner and got their early. Ordered my usual G&T and retched so badly at the smell of it I thought I’d better test again. Tested that night and got a very definite BFP! Grin.

DC2: 3 days before my period was due I suddenly had to make DH pull over to the side of the road so I could jump out of the car and be sick. Came out of nowhere and I knew I was pregnant. Tested the next day and got a BFP.

pollysproggle · 23/02/2020 09:29

Really stiff sore neck for no reason, shooting pains in boobs, feeling like I was getting cystitis but didn't. All between ovulation and 12dpo when I got bfp.
All the usual symptoms nausea etc didn't start until I was about 7 weeks.

flower1994 · 23/02/2020 09:44

hate to say but I literally had nothing, no symptoms whatsoever. I hadnt even had my usual ewcm around ovulation that month so didnt think anything was going on until I got my positive test at 9dpo x
