What symptoms did you have BEFORE your missed period?

mommy627

I'm in the 2ww and can't remember what if any symptoms I had with my son before I got my bfp. Just curious what your experience was.

abbyful

None. I'm 7 weeks, still none. This is my 3rd pregnancy, I've never had much for symptoms with any of them.

Even if you do have early "symptoms", you won't know if they are AF symptoms or pregnancy symptoms until you get a BFP or AF arrives.

Someone else's experience with symptoms doesn't mean anything for you. Everyone is different. And even for a specific individual, each pregnancy can be a completely different experience.

I had none.

I tested 4 days before I was to start AF, give or take. I felt a little 'off', but I was hungover, so it was probably that.

Absolutely none.  I only took a HPT because I was about to head to HH and I was double checking since my period hadn't started that day.  Needless to say, I never made it to HH.

None

I had really sore boobs (like sore when my husband touched them during valentines day sex). That was what made me test. But I think that was technically after my missed period. I am irregular and took the month off. I was so convinced I wasn't going to be pregnant because I had been using Clomid to ovulate, and that month I didn't use anything. I was travelling for work for 4 straight weeks, only home on weekends, so DH and I had sex literally twice that month. My BFP was super dark, so I had probably been able to turn a test for about a week by the time I tested.

If you are having symptoms you can turn a test, it's that simple.

Nothing apart from AF didn't turn up. I didn't test until I was 4 days late and it was immediately positive. No symptoms until 7 weeks.

I had weird dreams and was night sweating the week before AF was due, and was bloated (still am at a little over 6 weeks) but I attributed it to PMS... AF was over a week late so I tested and got BFP 8 days after I was due.  Did get BFN on the data I was due, so I'm assuming I may have ovulated late... 

RayRay007

A nose bleed, but honestly that could be from anything. 

SuperFreakedFirstTimer

My boobs were so sore for a few days, I was a little bloated and I felt hungry constantly but I would immediately get full. It was weird

Lauren1184

I had sore boobs for about a week before AF was due.  The soreness got worse and I started getting cramps on the day I was due.  I had tested the day before I expected AF, but it was so faint I decided to test again the day after it didn't come.

WashingtonQueen

None.

keshupe29

None! i thought i was getting my period, which was very light spotting for a few days. tested because i knew something was off. and BFP!

Squiddly

None. I got my bfp at 9dpo, and I had zero symptoms before that.

12bailey18

With my son I had frequent urination, which I remember thinking was really strange. I had no idea that was a symptom, though. With my last two I had no symptoms. 

alysonmh

One week before my missed period I was having lower back ache and my breasts hurt horribly, I was also being unreasonably moody. I took a test 7 days before my missed period and got my BFP! Now I am almost 5 weeks.

mander82

Full feeling,  tender boobs.....but that was also a PMS symptom for me, so nothing that could mean anything.

Symptoms don't mean shit.   Tell them to F off  

LeelaRuns

As someone else mentioned, my nipples were sore, which was weird and that was my first thought that something was different. I was also sleeping poorly but always feeling tired. 

SweetMelissa5

I can't recall ever having symptoms before getting a BFP; my symptoms generally don't start until a week or two later.

runningmama22

i forgot to add, I had my first ever yeast infection, right around the time implantation was happening (im assuming, about a week or so after date of conception). I've never had one before, and although I'm not 100% sure it was because I was pregnant, it was definitely weird for me.  Also second the hungry thing and feeling full instantly despite being starving. Honestly I thought I was having some major digestive issues, even thought maybe my flora was off in general because of the tummy and vag issues... started taking a probiotic! It was a baby though  

TeeJ526

None. Just a period that never came.

GinnyJ2012

No symptoms at all, I tested at 9DPO and didn't get symptoms until 6 weeks.

sas2551

Absolutely none! Every other medicated cycle that we were trying I was convinced we were successful in the tww: spotting that I thought was implantation, sore boobs, heightened sense of smell etc....the only successful cycle was the one with no symptoms at all until about 6 weeks pg when exhaustion set in.

ChiTown Bridget

I started having terrible lower back pain about 4-5 days before AF which I never normally get. Also, I was really hungry and felt like I could just eat and eat and never really get full. I had a few dizzy spells and I was constantly burping.

CubanPinky

just being sleepy all the time

PrimRoseMama

None.

BlckRoses

Add me to the none list.  I had no symptoms, I just tested because I had a girls' night to go to and wanted to make sure.  

Dani0329

Waking up to pee and sore boobs, I wasn't charting though and didn't take any tests prior to my BFP, so who knows if it would have been positive before...

acholb

None.

Greenmood

Sore breasts. I remember ignoring it because I was also have cramping that felt like I would get my period any moment, and I attributed it to that. Then I didn't get my period.

LisaG09

None.

MrsAdventure

Both my first and second pregnancies, I had some out of this world strange dreams. I am normally a very vivid dreamer so for me to take note, it takes a lot. The first time, I wasn't vexed. But the second time, I wondered right away but did not want to get my hopes up. I was also insanely hungry about a week before my missed period, but still did not test until the 4th day after my missed period. The month before I had been 3 days late, so I tried to be rational. But sometimes hunches are right.

GingerMama2013

Hot flashes! It was crazy! I also had vivid dreams.

sglouise

Very thirsty!

history12

I noticed my breasts were sore a week ahead of schedule (usually just the week before AF), and I was tired during the day, every day, for about a week straight.  That was out of the norm for me.  Got my BFP the day before my period was due and just hit 7 weeks!

jellybean0110

I had a lot of subtle 2ww symptoms that I never noticed until I started charting but all of them were typical early pregnancy symptoms - sore breasts, fatigue, warm face flushes, occasionally even some round ligament pains.  I would get them every 2ww regardless of whether or not there was a baby in there.  It had nothing to do with pregnancy hormones but more to do with progesterone.  The symptoms brought on by hcg typically don't show up until around 5-7 weeks.

meljenmar

Bloating, suuuuuper tired, swollen sore breasts (walking down stairs hurt), occasional pain under ribs and pms like cramping from ovulation on.

TXPyroMom

My only early symptom was sore breasts.  They were so painful... last night was actually the first night I let hubby touch them in about 4 weeks, LOL.  He was pretty excited about it.

amberDey

I was super crazy tired! 

amandabanana80

About 5-6 days before AF was due I started feeling very tired, to the point where I felt like I couldn't get through my workday. I also started experiencing sore breasts so about 4 days before AF I took a test and it was positive!

pinkladyalley

First time, very sore nipples. Second time (eight years after first and after years of doctors telling me it was very unlikely for me to conceive naturally), I woke up throwing up so fast that I couldn't even make it to the bathroom for two mornings in a row. I told my mom who is a nurse what was going on and she insisted that I take a hpt. I kind of laughed about it, but did think that something seemed kind of off with me. I was at Walmart buying cold meds for my sick DH when I saw .88 hpt. I figured what the heck, I wont be out much money when it comes back negative atleast. However, I had a very dark line! I was literally in shock. I made my DH run out and buy an expensive test, and it came back positive also.
