Just curious how many dpo were you when you noticed you were having symptoms of pregnancy? Did it happen immediately (like a day or two later after fertilization, or not until after implantation, or even later)? It's too early for me to test, but I'm feeling randomly nauseous lately, but that is all (no sore boobs, aversion to coffee, moodiness or any of the other common symptoms). Just wondering whether it's too early for the nausea to be a symptom. I don't want to get my hopes up! I am about 8 dpo. Thanks!?

Day Three
I had a bit of nausea at 10 weeks but I haven't had any other symptoms.
What just happened in my diaper?!
It takes a while for me to place when my symptoms started showing up, because I didn't even consider the possibility of being pregnant until I was almost 21 dpo. Had I not kept up with what was going on in a journal, I would never have remembered when changes started happening. I didn't attribute most of them to pregnancy at the time anyway. The dpos are approximate (within maybe two days either way?).
At 11 dpo, I went out drinking with some friends. I wasn't drunk, but I was tipsy. Not enough to make me feel bad under normal circumstances. I felt horrible all night and could barely sleep. I had terrible heartburn and a gurgly feeling in my esophagus. At 16 dpo, I had some more drinks, less than one per hour, and ended up believing I had acid reflux and bought some Zantac 75 in the middle of the night so I could get comfortable. Cigarettes started making me feel sick at the same time. At 18 dpo, DH knew I was pregnant. I felt like I was getting my period (I realized later that I was four or five days late by this time), I was taking a nap every day, my breasts became extremely sore, and I had to urinate way more frequently. I also had a tiny bit of spotting either that day or the next. I didn't think about being pregnant until I didn't get my period a couple of days after the spotting. I tested for the first time and got a BFP 25 dpo. This is probably later than a lot of people, but there were so many other reasons I could have been having those symptoms that it didn't cross my mind.
To answer your question a little more directly, I probably started having symptoms around 11 dpo. I didn't start dealing with nausea (other than when I tried to drink alcohol or smoke) until 30 dpo.
I believe that I MAY have had symptoms very early on. I got very sick about a week after I O'd ended up in the hospital. I was SO nauseated & was vomiting. We realized I had some broken ribs- and the vomiting was aggraveting it. I had NO other symptoms other then the pain & the nausea/vomiting. We chalked it up to a virus or something. I was pretty tired & remained nauseated although the vomiting settled, I figured it was the narcotic pain meds I was taking for my broken ribs.
A week later 12 dpo, I took a HPT-BFN. I had a party thast night & almost threw up in my kitchen when I was cleaning up the shrimp-the smell was killing me. At 12dpo my boobs were giant & sore, I had really bad cramps, I was sure AF was coming. Finally 14 dpo BFP! THe symtptoms have pretty much stayed & increased.
12 dpo I started getting AF like cramps and I was sure I would get a BFN. I tested the next day (I was on Femara for fertility so I needed a BFN test before they could give me a new Rx) and got my BFP almost right away. Cramps were the only symptom I had at the time, everything else showed up around 6 weeks. Good luck!
