What symptoms did you have BEFORE your missed period?

Morganhailey · March 2014

I was supppperr bloated. And all I craved were some spicy tuna rolls, I didn't start to really eat sushi till this year. I woke up out of a dead sleep just to go eat some rolls. And I work night shifts for 8 hours. I started to get hungry the first two hours into work rather than the first four. Other than that my dreams were crazy. I still get bloated like, hella bad. I'm only ten weeks about to be eleven. I found out the day after valentines day that I was prego.

P.s - I still want those damn spicy tuna rolls.

I am almost 6 weeks pregnant and before my period was even late...I was peeing every hour and the veins on my boobs were HUGE....I always have one vein that is visible...but this time....they were all across my chest, looked just like a map. Oh and my nipples hurt like crazy...didnt start getting exhausted until the week after I took my test. (Took my test the day before my period was due..just had a feeling..)

Felt like exaggerated PMS... w/o AF. Soooore boobs, mild cramps, backache, lethargy. Finally tested when around 5 days late. I just kept thinking that I would start any minute -until I realized I could barely finish a single cup of coffee without wanting to puke (I'm a 1/2 pot girl).
Test line darkened before the control.

I had sore breasts at 8DPO and a couple of very vivid dreams and alert night wakings before that.

I took two days off from work thinking I had the flu-sore achy body, headache and exhaustion. On the 2nd day I tried laying on my stomach and had a lot of pressure...decided to test and got a very faint bfp!

I had a chemical pregnancy in June 2013. I knew I was pregnant 1wpo. I was dizzy and had a reaction to caffeine. I am currently 12 wks prego and knew I was prego 1 wpo again. This time my only system was to caffeine. My morning cup of joe would give me the shakes and make me dizzy. That was the only consistent sign for me that I was pregnant.

My back hurt, my boobs hurt, I slept like a rock. I tested on a Thursday because I felt something was up BFN
4 days later after I cried at radio commercials I tested again, BFP but honestly after the tear-causing-commercials, I knew.
I have no other symptoms though and I'm now 8 weeks.
Pregnancy is weird. True story!

With my son, no symptoms. I took a test 3 days before AF was due just to see as I was going to a baseball game with friends and didn't want to drink if I was pg. I was using CBEFM (and put a lot of stock in its accuracy) and had a high but no peak. The day AF was due I got a peak. I remember thinking it was odd but figured my cycle was messed up. I did some research that said OPKs can turn positive when you're pg. I bought a test and it was positive.

With my second (that ended in MMC), I had one night a week after O that I had cramps, sore breasts, and was exhausted. I put DS to bed and ended up falling asleep at 8:00 (super early for me). I also felt like I had a fever. The next day I felt crampy and my breasts were still sore, but it completely went away. The day before AF was due, I had horrible PMS-type cramps. I remember thinking either I would wake-up with AF or I was pregnant.

With this one, I had tight PMS cramps and sore breasts a week before AF. Symptoms were strong. I had a test so I took it, it was positive. Took another one the next day - positive. Symptoms stayed and I had terrible nausea by the time AF came. Still do. Didn't have any sickness with my son.

Incredibly sore big boobs. It's what prompted me to take a FRER even though I convinced myself I'd wait until AF was due. BFP 12 dpo about 4 days before AF was supposed to appear, even stronger one the next day
