Is being starving hungry constantly an early sign of pregnancy?

I am not ready to 'out' myself yet but just wondered if this was a common sign of early pregnancy?

These last couple of days I cannot stop eating and my stomach seems to be permanently empty.

If I was pg, it would only be maximum of 10 days since conception so too early to do a pg test - but wondered if I should actually consider buying a test or not.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It was for me, along with the need to pee all the time, and then a few weeks afterwards, the need to sleep all day long.

Thanks Fuzzy - I do also need to pee a bit more often than normal.

You wouldn't believe that I had been through this before as all I can remember about the early days was the awful tiredness and constant nausea - but they didn't kick in until 5-6 weeks last time. Can't really remember how I felt before that.

Anyone else experience this?

yes! I was on holiday in butlins the 5 days before i got bfp-i could not stop eating, i ate more than dp! i am still very hungry now (16 weeks)

Good luck. 10dpo is early enough to test with a first response.

yes but I also find it a symptom of pmt, I also find weeing more a symptom of pmt, maybe im just werid. I agree dont think it to early for first response

I suppose one of the reasons I am not sure is that I had a very heavy bleed for 3 days last week which I assumed was my period (or 'withdrawal bleed') because I had come off the pill a few days before that so thinking it is now unlikely that I am pg.

Am a bit skint so don't want to waste money on pg tests if it is unlikely and I am also now concerned whether I should really be going home and drinking the wine that I put in the fridge this morning

Oh don't know what to do......

I always eat loads and wee loads the week before my period. I am TTC at the moment too, period due on Tuesday so currently eating and weeing for England!

speaking from bitter experience, I would try and wait until your period is actually late before you test.

good luck anyway!

scorpio1 · 26/10/2007 15:51

it sounds to me like leaving the test then. if you have only that recently come off the pill its unlikely, it takes time to settle. have a small bit of wine.

Bueller · 26/10/2007 15:53

yes, agree with scorpio1, have a nice glass of wine and try and put it out of your mind for a while! (vvvv difficult I know)

My main pregnancy symptoms before I knew I was pregnant were weeing 5 times a night (i never usually wee at night), and like 100 times through the day, very bad skin which I've never had and suddenly I was STARVING all the time. So possibly!
Mind you, the months leading up to this pregnancy, I had talked myself in to having symptoms each month i think. It happened to be the one month I hadn't felt sick when suddenly I was pregnant! I then got every single symptom ridiculously magnified.

Upsidedowncake · 26/10/2007 19:59

You may find that you have suddenly gone off the wine. That's my sure-fire way of telling.

Clever old nature - can't believe that I managed a whole 9 months without boozing when I was pg with ds1

Tbada00 · 29/10/2017 08:49

I think you may be pregnant. I got exactly the same feeling 2 weeks after conception. I also consistently needed to pee. I'm in week 7 now and find I'm STARVING every 2-3 hours, constantly peeing still and extremely fatigued.

I feel so much better knowing it's not only me feeling like this

ChipShopGherkin · 29/10/2017 10:15

Considering this thread is 10 years old,I think the OP would be aware if they were pregnant or not.

Chloe1313 · 19/02/2022 02:09

So, I miscarried in September of 2021, no on any birth control and with the same partner, at the beginning of not last week but the week before I could eat much very little appetite, and random waves of nausea, near the end of the week I started getting more of an appetite, now it’s been two weeks and I can’t stop eating, I’ve eaten almost 5 full meals today, I’m full and 10 min later I’m starving or I don’t feel full after eating a heaping plate of food. Nausea isn’t as bad and I’m. Dry tired and I can’t drink coffee and some things give me heart burn and/or acid reflex.. my sister thinks I could be having a “phantom pregnancy” I tested myself the other day and I was negative, but my period isn’t due until the end of next week…thoughts??
