I’m not due my period for ten days but busy symptom spotting...if you had any signs before testing, what were they?

Last time I was pregnant it was sore boobs, a few days before testing!

None whatsoever!

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 09/05/2021 22:27

Felt so unwell one night I had to go lie down, and I never do that. Wasn't expecting to be prepared all. Wasn't trying. Not even sure what made me think to take a test.

Kollywobble · 09/05/2021 22:28

Nausea after eating that started 2 days before my period was due. I was also extremely emotional, and I'm not normally one for crying.

tinkerbellvspredator · 09/05/2021 22:28

Metallic taste

Doublechins · 09/05/2021 23:13

Also metallic taste and bleeding gums

olivesnutsandcheeseplease · 09/05/2021 23:31

My large glass of White wine didn't taste good and sore boobs

LilmissCa · 09/05/2021 23:36

A stuffy nose.. the reason why I tested early!

Moominmiss · 09/05/2021 23:58

A horrible blocked stuffy and bloody nose from the time of implantation.

I’m 21 weeks now and still have it. Wake up every morning barely able to breath out of my nose and when I blow it, it always has blood in it.

Was also my earliest symptom with my 3 previous pregnancies.

pg 1 - cramps, IB, sore veiny boobs, really hungry, UTI

pg 2 - fluttery cramps, super sore and swollen boobs, congested, thirsty, craved vanilla cake

pg 3 - cramps, sore boobs, UTI

pg 4 (CP) - fluttery cramps, minorly sore boobs

pg 5 - nothing until late period - just PMS symptoms

Vomiting once or twice, first time turned out to be just a few days after conception. Second time was still too soon to show a positive pregnancy test.

PairOfPears · 10/05/2021 09:36

Well this thread is great for symptom spotters as now I have all sorts to look for Grin might try a glass of wine this evening to see how it tastes, and I had one blocked nostril last night so that is going on the list Grin

Nose bleed was the very first thing.

hporter10 · 10/05/2021 13:37

First symptom I noticed was abdominal cramping (similar to period pains). Lasted 6 days with no menstrual bleeding so went to the doctor and found out I was already 5 weeks along!

Riley1989 · 10/05/2021 13:48

The most intense sharp stabbing pains In my left breast! Shooting through my Nipple towards my back! We were on a walk and it was that bad I had to go to the car and blow down my top and bra hahaha I knew then that I was pregnant! It was so weird I just knew! Good luck xx

shivawn · 10/05/2021 13:52

Slight cramping and sore breasts, my period was already a couple weeks late by the time I noticed any symptoms though.

Wiltshire90 · 10/05/2021 13:56

Metallic taste probably about 6-7DPO and then I woke up really early at 9 and 10DPO with a strange feeling in my boobs (I can't really explain the feeling!). Took my first test at 10DPO and it was positive.

TTCat39 · 10/05/2021 16:02

I had the symptoms that I usually get in the few days running up to my period - tiredness, cramping, bloating, sore boobs and mood swings. But I usually get spotting for a day or two beforehand - that didn't happen. Then the missed period, tested that day, and following that a worsening of all those symptoms above, and the addition of nausea, the worst fatigue and dizziness.
Interesting that others have said they got a stuffy nose. I'd had a stuffy nose for about the 8 months prior when I was taking conception vitamins. I don't know if I'm reacted to increased levels of an active or inactive ingredient, but it seems to have tailed off now that I have switched to pregnancy vitamins.

LittleTiger007 · 10/05/2021 16:07

Craving oranges, tiredness and period type pains.

Chelyanne · 10/05/2021 16:56

Fatigue and nausea when doing heavy weights in the gym for a week before bfp.

Aisforharlot · 10/05/2021 18:07

pg1 - I only wanted to wear pink.
This pg- missed period. And sore boobs, which are a fairly rare period symptom for me.

allfurcoatnoknickers · 10/05/2021 18:18

Crippling Anxiety and depression. Blindsided me out of nowhere. That was fun.

CobleCloud · 10/05/2021 18:58

I randomly started having really vivid dreams not even pregnancy or baby related.. thought it was strange as I never remember my dreams. Just felt a bit off really but couldn't place my first finger on it, got a strong positive 4 days before my period was due. X

33goingon64 · 10/05/2021 19:02

Nausea at 5.5 weeks. Both times.
