Abit of a strange one - recently I've been having waves of nausea, overly tired, heart burn and cramping in my lower stomach. I'm wondering if anybody had something similar in early pregnancy? I've taken a few tests but they've all come back negative - maybe I'm just being overly cautious, please tell me what you guys think!

Hi yeah I had all of them symptoms and each time I tested got a positive test unfortunately it wasn't meant to be for me as a week later I started bleeding so my gp has put it down to a miscarriage but fingers crossed you get a positive result

I do think when TTC, you start to symptom spot more and your body and mind start playing tricks on you.

In my own personal experience, the months where I was absolutely convinced I was pregnant and had so many 'pregnancy symptoms', i wasn't pregnant. The two times I have actually been pregnant, I've felt no different whatsoever to any normal month and have actually written that month off as it just felt like AF was about to arrive at any moment.

Symptoms started soon after missing a period - sore boobs, food/drink aversions. Sickness/nausea came later.

Thank you first of all, you've put my mind at ease abit haha, I'm still in my teens so I baby would most definitely not be ideal! I'm just overly cautious - I think it's just where I'm on the pill but I'm awful when it comes to remembering to take it, then had unprotected sex and now I'm just freaking out because I wouldn't notice a missed period - thank you!

Same experience for me, I've been convinced some months that I'm pregnant from all the symptoms and yet the three times I've been pregnant I've been convinced I'm not as I just feel normal!

If you take a test after the time your period would have been due that should be the most accurate xx
