Just that really, Currently TTC baby no2 and with my last pregnancy I didn't find out until 9 weeks, my periods were extremely irregular, so am unsure of what early symptoms I had.
My last pregnancy seems to have completely reset my body and everything now runs like clockwork. I'm currently 8DPO and am constantly hungry, my boobs are constantly aching and I feel bloated, these could just be because my period is due soon but symptoms don't usually start for another few days yet.
I plan on testing in a few days but could these be pregnancy symptoms so early on?

Just out of interest what will be the age gap?

I obviously didn’t know what I was looking out for last time but I tested every day and kept getting negatives. I was in the shower one night and as I brushed my hand past my boob I noticed it felt huge all of a sudden, it wasn’t even physically much bigger but it was just sort of harder feeling or like there was more in it. I actually laughed in the shower at how I was definitely pregnant and now just had to wait to find out. Given I’d never been pregnant before I don’t know how I knew this so definitely. I also had a few heavy feelings like somethings pushing on your cervix. I wasn’t sick til 9 weeks I think and it only lasted a few weeks

There will be just over 3 years between them if I am pregnant.
Funnily enough the only reason I tested at 9 weeks last time was because I just had a feeling, it wasn't odd for my periods to not appear for 3/4 months at a time so it didn't really cross my mind but I just kinda knew.
I think because we are trying this time round I'm noticing things like I'm so so irritated today and my boobs are super sensitive but then that could just be period related.

For me I go off tea & coffee, my sense of smell goes haywire and I get tired & emotional.

I felt really sick the week before BFP and that whole week had really vivid dreams, including one with a positive test. Tested positive on a First Response at 3+4 so they really do deliver what they promise! Good luck ❤️

My first symptoms were backache (which felt a bit like period pains so not very distinctive to pregnancy!) and tiredness. The week before I got my positive, I went for two runs and both times felt like I was running through treacle. I thought I must be getting flu or something.

I always get this heaviness in my boobs, im sure it’s as soon as it implants because it’s like a surge in my boobs and Ive got it every pregnancy. Then I start getting bloated and indigestion / mild nausea and tiredness x

Thanks for all your replies, patiently waiting to test! 🤞

My first pregnancies I knew immediately. I would get the sore boobs and bubbly cramps right from o.

But my later ones I actually had no symptoms until later. Vivid dreams and nosebleeds were actually the first symptoms. With my last two I got a shock after taking a test when af was a few days late. Sincerely didn't expect it with either of them!

PinkButtercups · 24/07/2022 13:27

Mine in both pregnancies were heightened sense of smell and sore boobs and loose stools 🤣.

georgarina · 24/07/2022 13:30

*oh and I'm 10+1 and haven't had sore boobs at all

As seems to be a consensus so far I’m here to add BOOBS omg the early pregnancy boob ache and swolleness was rough! 😁
