What were your earliest symptoms and how early were there?

[LethargicButAwesome]

I know how this is going to sound, and the response should be shurrup and wait a week and you will know but after 7 years of ttc I’m gonna go for THAT post-please I need the sanity check!

I’m so nauseous, have a hormonal headache(back of my head the same as I have just before starting my period) my back hurts, I’m light headed and dizzy And last night had a random fever. I’m 7dpo.

how early were your earlierst symptoms? And what were they?

really praying for my 🌈 when I’ve been positive befor my first symptom was sore boobs and 2nd time was nausea. This was closer to my period date however not a week before!

Implantation spotting and cramping, about 2 days before my period was due. I thought it was the start of my period but it just... never came. So I tested and BAM, two very dark lines.

The actual symptoms started bang on 6 weeks. Nausea and fatigue mainly, sore boobs etc. I'm 8.5 weeks now and the food aversions have well and truly kicked in, along with 24/7, totally debilitating nausea but no throwing up... yet.

Good luck, wishing you the best :)

My boobs don’t feel much different 🤷🏽‍♀️ Just a waiting game. Day3 of my headache and Nausea …. Let’s see what unfolds on Sunday! Some very odd symptoms I must admit!

Same with all my pregnancies, it’s like I knew the minute the egg implanted as I’d get this heaviness in my boobs. Good luck x

My symptoms started at 9DPO - first signs were alcohol tasting off to me (it tasted metallic), then started to get excessive saliva (to the point I was needing to spit it out in private!) and really sore nipples - far more sensitive than my usual PMS

I’ll join in Sunday testing 😊

My main symptoms were usual sore boobs which I get every time I'm due on my period and tiredness (I took regular naps which I never do), lots of gas & I had pain in my left groin - implantation pain. The pain in my left told me something was up & it was at that point that I took a pregnancy test

With my 1st Daughter I had sore boobs around the time that I was expecting my period.

I then had 2 miscarriages in a row and both times I just KNEW I was pregnant. It wasn't that I felt sick or anything, I just absolutely 100% knew I was pregnant. I would say I felt this way maybe 10 DPO. One of the pregnancies kept showing up as negative and I felt like I was going mental because everything in me was telling me I was pregnant. I think it finally showed as positive a couple of days after period was expected. I had a positive digital one & 2 days later I just had this deflated feeling and I knew it wasn't to be. Perhaps they are called chemical pregnancies when that early??

With my 2nd Daughter, I was on my way back from holiday, about 11 DPO when I suddenly realised I felt sick and I thought oh my god it can't be .. and luckily it was and all panned out nicely!!

I could smell my husband's pee when I was in the bedroom and he was in the en-suite.

My resting heart rate went from an average of 55bpm to about 79bpm. I took a test 2 weeks after ovulation without any other symptoms and I was pregnant.

I had a metallic taste in my mouth which I knew straight away was strange and felt sick this was the week I took the pregnancy test so when I was due on.

Can’t remember exactly when but one of my first symptoms was sensitivity to smell. And I just felt “ different”. Couldn’t really explain it.

I have been pregnant 4 times and after the first time I knew for sure before testing every time. You just feel 'different'. For me the first signs have been being extremely bloated, wee smelling different, and feeling immense rage at my husband. Sore nipples kicked in later. I also had implantation bleeding shortly before my period was due a couple of times, that I thought was my period but then it stopped early and I realised I should do a test.

Oh my some of these are hilarious 😂😂 lots of people ‘just know’ for me my ttc journey has been long and difficult so I’m a pessimist and generally externally I talk myself out of it ever being a bfp, even tho internally I’m so hopeful.

my symptoms have almost entirely calmed down, my blood pressure was low yesterday which it has been when I’ve been positive before.

@Wouldloveanother pleased to have a testing buddy. A bit nervous as the symptoms have gone, with hcg rising I would have expected them to get worse if it was pregnancy related.

all… did your early symptoms stay the whole
first trimester?

Me too! Like I was sucking on a 2p piece 🤢

Is low blood pressure a thing? It would explain the ‘standing up’ dizziness which has been really bad today - virtually every time I stand up. As for my symptoms, no - the dizziness last time lasted about a week or two, the toothpaste thing stayed though. The food aversions and nausea all started at around the 7 week mark. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you OP - it’s a really difficult wait isn’t it, you just want to know!

@Grissini50 oh yeah I had that one every time too….loathing towards my other half 🤣

Went off tea at 7 weeks, only found out the day before 😂

I remember having insomnia before and a few days after I tested. I also just didn't feel right, I thought I was coming down with something.

I also had pains that made me think my period was imminent but no period. Then a bit later more pain on one side.

With my first son sickness and nausea bang on 6 weeks lasting until 12 weeks. With my second i had no symptoms but did start showing at 12 weeks.

I was meant to be going out drinking with the girls and the night before I just knew I had to take a test. I'd suffered with nausea for nearly 2 months before that night and was always negative on tests and blood, then bam that night bold, clear as day positive

Really sore boobs the day before I tested. I knew I was pregnant both times that way.

First sign for me was running up the stairs at full speed and feeling completely KO'd, and thinking 'I'm not that unfit am I?'and darkened nipples. Fingers crossed x

Thanks for your support ladies. I stupidly tested and it’s negative but would be way too early yet. I will try and post my results next week, I always follow threads and no one ever updates them with the results. Calculating my bd days I think my chances are very slim. Plus most of the signs have gone except the nightly fever…so I think all these crazy feelings might be something else relating to my high fever! Still hopeful xx

How did you get on? Hopeful bump to see if you have tested yet x

Hi all, thought I would update. Aunt Flo arrived today, so I learnt I have a LP of 11 days.

all the symptoms I had have turned out to be an infection and some concerning blood results linked with my liver! Going in for further tests to rule a couple of things out. My fever has been getting progressively worse

was so excited as the symptoms were very similar but alas should have known it was not meant to be!
