metal mouth
high CP
EWCM on day 32
Sore armpits (boobs go up to there you see)
Swollen tummy
No period, lol
Amazing sense of smell. meat is disgusting

I have had 4 BFPs now and know it a mile off!

erm, nothing! sorry lol

Mum1369 · 19/02/2009 19:35

I always start feeling nauseous really soon - that and metallic taste in my mouth & smelling everything really strongly

ladyhelen2 · 19/02/2009 19:35

I swear I felt something "going on" down there around the time of implantation!

MKG · 19/02/2009 19:37

The need to put ketchup and marinara sauce on everything (tomatoes are my main pregnancy craving), and a sense of complete and total fatigue.

Bakersman · 19/02/2009 19:37

Huge boobs, lol!

Geepers · 19/02/2009 19:38

I'm on pregnancy number 6 and I have never had symptoms before a missed period. The pregnancy hormone levels are so low at that point, I think it's usually just mind over matter.

beansontoast · 19/02/2009 19:39

the definitive clue was my pinky nipples...much more pinky!

i couldnt have 'made it up' as may be i could have with the nausea,fatigue etc

felt like i was just about to 'come on' for days...achy boobs etc

this is pre due date btw

(hee heee i love these threads)

beansontoast · 19/02/2009 19:40

what symptoms have you 'got'?

readyfornumber2and3 · 19/02/2009 19:40

3 days before AF was due I woke in the middle of the night with really tender boobs (just like they were with ds) and knew I was pg took a test the next morning and got a faint bfp

We were not ttc at the time [hmmm]

Am now 13 weeks and found out 2 weeks ago its twins lol

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 19/02/2009 19:41

yep. metal mouth. yep nauseous. yep sense of smell gone bonkers, nearly barfed on a smoker in the street...

also psychotically (oh that is sooo spelled wrong) grumpy and moodswingy which happened last time too (but then ds teething n not sleeping and generally being a nonsleepingpaininthebum-- very advanced, bright and sparky boy so that could be the reason for that

oh i am such a fool i thought i was a bit more rational than this.

and yes i KNOW i'll have to wait and see

Weird taste in my mouth.
Feeling queasy.
Tender boobs.

Second time, I was bf DD1, and she suddenly pulled away and made a face as if to say what have you put in this??

nolongerchunkybutstillapudding · 19/02/2009 19:42

Really strong sense of smell. Dislike of coffee (unheard of unless PG!). And gaining weight despite every effort not to.

But I also carried on having AF for the first two months, so the weight gain may have come later than I thought, if you see what I mean.

olivo · 19/02/2009 20:18

nausea and dizziness from very very early on. and couldnt sleep on my front as my boobs were so tender!

LoveMyGirls · 19/02/2009 20:22

Feeling sick and tired, I felt so rough I thought I was ill so had a couple of days off work even though we had been ttc but I was "ill" literally a few days after ttc so didnt think I'd have symptoms as quickly as that! When I was late and took the test I knew why I'd felt so lousy!

WinkyWinkola · 19/02/2009 20:23

I had the lightest period ever 8 days early. It must have been implantation.

systemsaddict · 19/02/2009 20:23

Went off red wine, and sense of smell went crazy

No symptoms, but I woke up with an absolute conviction I was pg - was not due for another couple of days but tested +ve and was not in the least surprised.

Hawkmoth · 19/02/2009 21:04

Dizziness, from about day 24. Thought I had tweaked a nerve in my neck (previous whiplash injury) and put myself to bed for two days. When I started feeling sick as well I joined the dots.

Can't think of anything else...

OonaghBhuna · 19/02/2009 21:59

The morning after our one night of passion my boobs were extemely sore which did make me wonder! My tummy also gets quite bloated and I just feel strange.This time I knew almost immediately. Dd2 I knew after about a week or so, well we were on holiday in Oz and I couldnt keep my eyes open after 9pm....Umm I think that was a sign!
