How many DPO did you start feeling pregnancy symptoms?

Hi everyone.
I have one son who is a year old and we are currently trying to conceive #2. With my son, I don't remember exactly when - but what made me take a pregnancy test was the fact my boobs were absolutely killing me. I ended up testing 11DPO (according to my cycle app) by which point I'm sure my boobs had been hurting for a long time.
I've convinced myself that unless my boobs start hurting then there's no way I'm pregnant.
For those of you with multiple children, did you always have the same early pregnancy symptoms? And when did you start getting symptoms? I am 6DPO on cycle #4 and feel absolutely nothing. I think by this point I should probably be feeling something shouldn't I?

I have 3 kids and I always get nausea - usually well before my period is due. In this pregnancy from about 10dpo - I didn’t test until 14 dpo though and it was faint then so a very small amount of hormone must make me sick. For me, sore boobs are not a good indicator as they can be a PMT symptom for me.

Thank you @Moo678! Exactly the same as my mum. I asked her what her symptoms were and she got awful nausea and she suffered terribly with it with all 5 of her kids. Both my parents are v.free spirited and never used contraception or actively "TTC" so that's how she knew she was pregnant each time. I was lucky in that I never had any nausea with my first pregnancy however my boobs killed the entire time. I've never had sore boobs around AF or at any other time so it's def a pregnancy symptom for me. I keep waking every morning and prodding my boobs hoping they are going to hurt 🤣

I distinctly remember my boobs being bigger than normal and more sensitive than normal (slightly more tender than pre-menstrual boobs) at around 10-12 days DPO. I didn't get a clear positive pregnancy test until I was 16 DPO, but I was using cheapies. I had mild cramping (just like AF on her way) at 14-15 DPO.

With dd2 I had absolutely no symptoms. I went to the doctors with a suspected kidney infection. He asked IF there was any possibility I could be pregnant. We both laughed as dd1 was 23. I told him I would probably be a gran before I would become a mum again.
He sent me to hospital for a scan not only was I pregnant I was 5 months!
DH and I left that appointment in absolute shock. I always thought you must know and have some symptoms if you are pregnant especially if you've already had a child.

I had absolutley no symptoms unti I was about 6 or 7 weeks pregnant when morning sickness kicked in, before that I had a 30 pack of cheap dip pregnancy tests I got from amazon and just kept "making sure" every couple of days that I still had a strong positive line.

Sore boobs and cramping at 10 dpo. Kept me up at night and I tested the next morning and got my bfp.

My last period was on April 1st and I had unprotected sex around my O-Day. It's been 12 days I missed my period. I took pregnancy test and result came back negative.

I had brown discharge today and have little cramping. Is there a chance, I am pregnant?
