Early signs of pregnancy

Hi everybody...

Just looking for some advice, what signs of early pregnancy have people experienced?

I have a heavy feeling in the bottom on my stomach, when I'm drinking water it often tastes like metal and I am more tired than usual.

Date of conception was only 4 days ago so maybe I'm overthinking.HmmHmm

You will be overthinking it, but don't we all 😂

Fingers crossed you get a positive this month ☺️ xx

My earliest sign which made me pretty sure I'd conceived was around 5dpo, I was raging, really angry and anything would set me off. I usually wouldn't get this till 9-10dpo just before my period would come so I found it odd. I tested positive that month and am currently 19 weeks 😁 x

I think I'm a great example of this.

I was not TTC - AT ALL. So I wasn't symptom spotting or hoping to be pregnant.

I had persistent cramping from 1-4 and then 6-10DPO which I never get in between periods.. paired with sore boobs. I finally tested at 10DPO, 1 week before my period and it was positive.

Currently 15 weeks pregnant.

Good luck!

Heart burn, never suffered from it in my life except when I conceive! Started from 10 dpo.

I didn't get any symptoms until I had already missed a period.
First one in both pregnancies was sore boobs, the sickness etc came a week or 2 later

Tiredness - that was it. I didn’t know I was pregnant until 6 weeks as my periods are always erratic. I have a manual job and was finding myself needing to be home at lunch between jobs for a lay down

My worst symptom (horrific reflux) started at 19 weeks
