Symptoms

[JBacon]

Hello,

Please can anyone tell me how seen you started to have symptoms to give you any idea you where pregnant? I want a baby so bad it's driving me crazy, I want to do a test but it's only been a week since we had sex so I know it won't show up yet but I'm dying to know if I'm pregnant or not....

Hello,

Please can anyone tell me how soon you started to have symptoms to give you any idea you where pregnant? I want a baby so bad it's driving me crazy, I want to do a test but it's only been a week since we had sex so I know it won't show up yet but I'm dying to know if I'm pregnant or not....

Wait for a late period otherwise you’ll drive your self mad with every symptom. Remember that lots of period symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are similar

I know its very difficult but try and make it to 14 dpo. Otherwise it's just stressful interpreting tests. I was testing early and when I finally waited (just so happened to be successful) it was a relief just to have a test as clear as day.

And to my surprise the first symptons are just like a period in fact I have never felt like a period was coming more than the day I got a BFP!

Plan walks, Zoom catchs up, deep cleaning to distract yourself in Lockdown (not sure where you are!)

Good luck! Xxx

Hi. I feel for you as the two week wait is horrendous!! I had to wait longer as I didn’t even get a faint positive until 6 weeks. Even then it was so faint for another six weeks! So I had to go by my symptoms which were so many and varied that I knew I was pregnant! (It turns out I am expecting twins despite the late bfp)

From about 10 dpo I began to get crampy and gassy, the gas and bloated feeling continued until about week 10. I even had a little bloated tum but this went away with the bloatedness at about wk 10.
Like a poster above said, it felt like I was getting my period but it never came.
From 6-10 dpo I craved oranges and ate loads. Coffee started to taste weird and I drank less of it.
11 dpo metallic taste in mouth on and off and a heightened sense of smell which came and went too until week 12.
From about 14 dpo I was beginning to feel nauseous and this got worse from about 20 dpo and remained until week 12.
From about 16 dpo I started to have sore breasts and they gradually got firmer and heavier.
From about 18 dpo I started to be very tired at the end of the day and just needed to crash. I would be in a deep sleep by 9 and I’m normally a night owl. I still need tonnes of sleep and I’m 14 weeks tomorrow.
From about 20 dpo I have had a fair few headaches.
From about 4 weeks dpo the cramps which feel like period cramps changed to little tweaks which came and went.

For me this was after nearly a decade of yearning for a child - so I get it I really do.

Try to relax and wait and see ... I know that is really difficult to do. Symptoms are also very different from person to person.

Good luck to you

I had literally no symptoms in the 2WW and was convinced this wouldn't be the month. However I took a test anyway at 10dpo, saw a very very faint line but thought it might be evap. Tested again the next day and it was definitely positive.

I'm now 6+4 and still not many symptoms!

My first symptom was really sore boobs, which I also get just before my period so this wasn't hugely helpful.

I was also really tired, couldn't keep my eyes open even after a full night's sleep!

I got my BFP 2 days before my period was due.

With my first dc, I tested at 7dpo and got a faint positive on internet cheapie. Continued to test using them (with a faint line) until 9dpo, which is when I got an FRER with a blazing positive. My symptom at 9dpo was that I woke in the night and couldn't get back to sleep. At 4 weeks the nausea hit and by 9 weeks I was vomiting.

With dc2 i tested at 8dpo and got a bfn. I tested again at 9dpo and another bfp. I woke at 9dpo at night and couldn't sleep and I was also convinced I was pregnant, did an FRER the next day and got a faint positive. At bang on 4 weeks I woke with a horrendous headache, nausea and vomiting. Am now on tablets again to keep sickness away.

Good luck OP. I know it's hard not to test too soon but we all seem to do it. Just remember that it can be too early for a bfp and you're not out until AF arrives!
