Anyone get cravings before BFP or early in pregnancy. I’m only 8DPO so I highly doubt it but this morning as soon as I woke up I craved a big fat glass of orange juice , baring in mind the only thing I drink is water , I don’t drink tea , coffee or fizzy drinks / juice I’m a water drinker only so I was like wtf. Lol

I’m sceptical… personally any food related symptoms started at 6 weeks on the dot with both my pregnancies.

Craving orange juice was my first symptom along with heart palpitations- both times. Even when the extreme sickness kicked in I still wanted orange juice and orange Fanta.

Sceptical about symptoms so early but then I’m 8 weeks and my daily orange juice is the highlight food of my day! Treating myself to the best of the best (M&S fresh) it’s heavenly and hey, cheaper than a pint but lasts a week!

Haha. I started craving orange juice at exactly 8dpo and got my positive two days later. I’m only mentioning it because I don’t drink fruit juice normally, and the craving stuck with me all the way to 12 weeks and was a STARK difference right from the off. It was the sensation on my tongue as well as the flavour and the coldness.

For one of my chemical pregnancies I started getting “pregnancy hunger” before my BFP as well.
