Just interested. I have had way more CM (cloudy) than I ever usually get.

Nose bleed on DC1 and 2! Had an inkling before I got the BFP as a result

FlyOnTheWall89 · 01/03/2024 19:03

Nasal congestion without actually having a cold and random drops from the nose. Both pregnancies, and lasted throughout most of the first trimester at least with baby 1. Had I not been clued up that this is a sign though, I wouldn't have thought anything of it

GB91 · 01/03/2024 19:04

Exhaustion, headaches and crazy bloating

PickledScrump · 01/03/2024 19:07

No signs with any of them (3 babies) plenty of times I thought I was pregnant because of what I thought were symptoms but never actually pregnant those months.

RobynC28 · 01/03/2024 19:28

Complete exhaustion

SnookyPook · 01/03/2024 21:30

DS I had lots of cloudy/milky CM and heavy/tender boobs from 8dpo ☺️

This time, nothing! Wasn't symptom spotting though as thought we'd avoided ovulation!

PixieTrance89 · 01/03/2024 22:17

Only sign I've had is missed period I don't get symptoms until 6 or 7 weeks

Itonlytakesaminute · 01/03/2024 22:18

Insomnia

MillshakePickle · 01/03/2024 22:33

Low grade mid afternoon headache from 6dpo. And then exhaustion

Hiddenvoice · 01/03/2024 22:51

Exhaustion and run down with a very short cold.

Starryeyes34 · 01/03/2024 22:59

Bloating, tender boobs and was randomly sick out of knowhere and very suddenly on 10/11 dpo, next day had a faint positive in the afternoon and strong positives following morning.

SarahB88 · 02/03/2024 09:42

No signs until the day before I took my test which was the day my period was meant to come. I’d been extremely bloated and tired whilst I was away with work but just thought my period was coming and I’d been doing a lot. We’d been trying and had a negative the month before so didn’t think it happened so quickly but did a test anyway. After my positive I got a stuffy nose and that hasn’t stopped even now I’m in third trimester! Sickness started about week 6.

Lillers · 02/03/2024 09:46

Absolutely nothing, until the day before my period was due and suddenly I had the most sensitive sense of smell in the world and had to run out of Tesco because the smell of their cleaning fluid made me nearly sick.

IcouldbutIdontwantto · 02/03/2024 09:48

For the first, I had a weird premonition. It was a week after ovulation and the first evening in our new house. We were eating fish and chips, and I suddenly had a vision of a small child running towards me. A few days later, I was staring at a positive test.

For the second, I don't think I had any, but that once was a shock - not tracking anything, first time dtd without contraception after #1. Sadly, we lost the baby at 16w.

Back to symptom spotting now 😆

glasshalffull0 · 02/03/2024 11:01

A lot of nasal congestion which has continued and gotten worse all the way through my pregnancy (22 weeks currently) and very, very painful and sore boobs - this only lasted a couple of days which made me think I had lost the baby very early

DemelzaRobins · 02/03/2024 11:14

I was nauseous for a good 4-5 days before my BFP on the day my period was due.

I think my hair also started to get dirtier more quickly at that point too.

Mauhea · 02/03/2024 12:23

Not a sausage! It was probably the most symptom spotting free tww for me. I tested 2 days before period was due because we were actively trying and my works Christmas do was coming up (which would have been a boozy one if not for the positive!). The only thing I noted once I tested positive was increased thirst.

LizzeyBenett · 02/03/2024 13:29

Cramps when period was due that was it

Bamboo2512 · 02/03/2024 23:01

I wasn't trying for pregnancy however 8 days after sex basically had wet underwear from what seemed like watery discharge and got a vvf positive.

I'm now 6w4d had an early scan today to confirm and only symptoms I've had so far have been tiredness however if I didn't know I was pregnant would have put it down to bad sleep.

Other than the initial discharge no symptoms on what would ha e been the tww

SwordToFlamethrower · 02/03/2024 23:08

None! And I had IVF!

Coffeewiththatcake · 02/03/2024 23:43

Awful indigestion and gas at 7dpo then nausea kicked in the next day. I felt permanently sea sick until about 14 weeks.

Toomuchgoingon79 · 03/03/2024 06:07

Extreme tiredness. Falling asleep at 5pm and sleeping until the next morning on all of mine, and headaches in the afternoon.

JRTfan · 05/03/2024 07:55

Non whatsoever and was IVF still don't have any and I'm 24 weeks!

Revelatio · 05/03/2024 08:00

Exactly the same for me. Didn’t find out I was pregnant until I was a week late and felt nauseous.

In the TWW absolutely no symptoms at all. When I’ve had cramping bloating, sore boobs, runny nose, etc, I’ve always come on my period bang on time!!

shieldmaiden7 · 05/03/2024 08:31

I had a sudden symptoms of a really bad cold!
