What were your early pregnancy symptoms?

[Abzstar]

I’ve been trying for a baby since Christmas. I’ve been using clear blue ovulation tests and have successfully found my peak days and had lots of sex. My last peak day was 9 days ago. I’m always worried symptoms are just in my head but I have quite a few pregnancy symptoms. My tummy feels a bit like butterflies, my left breast/nipple feels funny when I touch it, I’m having hot sweats at night, I feel nauseous throughout the day for like 5 mins at a time, my lower back hurts a little too. Did anyone have these symptoms? I did a test yesterday evening and it’s was negative. Maybe I’m testing too soon? But would I have symptoms and a negative test? My period is due 3rd April. I know it’s obvious to wait a few more weeks but this is my first and I’m too excited and impatient!! :)
Thank you in advance x

Lack of a period nothing else

I had 0 symptoms both times! Both times I thought the test would be negative. One ended in the birth of my beautiful boy, the other sadly i lost at 11 weeks.

Sorry to hear that! I know every pregnancy is different. Were you trying for your first or did it just happened? because I think I’m trying too hard and it’s becoming obsessive!

I had no symptoms before a late period, at which point my nipples also felt weirdly sensitive. Morning sickness hit at around 7 weeks for me

Same here, no symptoms until a few days after my missed period. Whenever I have had symptoms before my period, it’s always been negative!!

I had cramps from 1-10DPO. Sore nipples. Those were the biggest tell tale signs for me!

Sorry I’m new here can you explain DPO? I feel like I’m driving myself crazy analysing everything that hurts lol x

Every pregnancy I've had (3) ive felt stretching pains in my uterus. The first time I assumed it was period pains and that my period was coming. After that I could tell the difference and knew before my missed period from the stretching pains.

I’ve had pains in my tummy but not as painful as my period pains. I will just have to wait to see if my period comes. Thank you for your reply x

I had a weird tugging sensation on one side of my tummy. I presume it was the implantation, but who knows? 🤷🏻‍♀️

First time - bit of dizziness, missed period, extreme fatigue

Second (current) pregnancy: missed period, extreme fatigue, awful period-type cramps from week 4/5, morning sickness started week 7 and only faded at 25 weeks 🫠

I had a little popping sensation in my stomach that kept happening and some light spotting on the 6th day post ovulation. Also had a little bit of cramping in my side and back.

Missed period and I was extremely tired (not sure if that's linked in any way) was 4+2 when found out

I’d forgotten about the exhaustion.
I was also very tired, unusually so for me.
I did have some boob sensitivity too, come to think of it.

My nipples were going mad. Would not stop tingling.
I knew I was pregnant before I took a test, I waited a few days putting it off because of a miscarriage the pregnancy before but turns out the positive was SO faint and I was having mega tingly nipples from like day 7 after ovulation!!!

You are definitely testing too early!! That’s over a week away. I got a positive test with my son 2 days before my period and my daughter 5 days late. Test with a first morning urine also.

as for early symptoms I had zero with my son and it was actually a routine hospital appt o found out I was pregnant. My daughter I felt really sick at work one day so tested the next day and got a positive test.

I started getting cramping in my back and lower abdomen like a period with my son about 6ish weeks (2 weeks after missed period) but was all the ligaments stretching. With my daughter I was sick aaaaaaall day long, and when I wasn’t being sick I felt sick.

I had a twingey/tugging feeling on one side which I assume was implantation with my first. I also felt it with my unplanned second and knew instinctively I was pregnant again x

I had absolutely no symptoms either time. I was expecting negative tests and surprised by my BFPs! Then about 2 weeks later the exhaustion and hyperemesis hit.

Sore boobs and nose dripping (water like not snotty) any time I bent over. Carried on until 13 weeks.

Also please don’t get obsessive about it. I found I did and took all the fun out of it 😥 we unfortunately lost our first pregnancy at 8 weeks. But went on to have our beautiful babies.

I listened to my body. I knew when I was ovulating as I would get a sore side, changed side each month. I have Endometriosis so periods vary from month to month but I threw all the ovulations tests and pregnancy tests out and just went with my body when trying for our 2nd. Xx

My very first symptom, before testing positive, that actually made me ask google whether it was a pregnancy thing was having the most vivid dreams I’ve ever had.

DPO is days past ovulation.

With my first pregnancy I had a very odd-feeling quick, fluttering heartbeat before I missed a period. No other symptoms. With the 2nd I didn't have that but I had sore boobs and needing to go for a lot of wees very early on.

Test again over the next few days. Sometimes you can get a positive test at 9 DPO, sometimes you can’t.

I have the sharpest eyes for pregnancy test lines, and I had an absolute negative with a sensitive home test 9 DPO. Next day, I had a very extremely faint positive. Now I’m 16 weeks pregnant.

Just test again soon, good luck!!!

I had lower back pain less than 24 hours after conception (don't normally have any back pain at all) and then just felt generally a bit odd. I got a positive just under two weeks after conception - first morning wee is the best time to do it. I used a clear blue digital just so there was no second guessing evap lines, etc.

I had a dripping nose on Saturday but that has stopped
