I'm sorry for the TMI, but before my BFP, when I was PMSing, or on my period, orgasms never felt very good. Always made me feel crampy and uncomfortable. I've noticed that they feel much the same now that I'm pregnant. Does it ever go away or get better? As if pregnant women don't have enough reasons to be grumpy lol.

I hadn't heard of this, but I googled it and apparently it is pretty common. Sounds a little scary, yes, but it seems like it's no big deal. You would that think this wouldn't be an issue until the uterus has expanded much larger, though. Maybe discuss with your doctor just in case.
I'm 4 weeks 6 days and the only real symptoms I've had so far are sore boobs, which feel similar to PMS for me, and I had one headache last night. As of this morning I'm having really bad insomnia but that's probably because I found out less than 24 hours ago. I waited until I completely missed my period to test, since being a couple of days late is not uncommon for me. The lack of symptoms is concerning but I'm sure everything will be fine. Sept 22 cannot come fast enough! (Edited for spelling)
I just got my BFP this morning but was just sure I'd see that second line because I've been emotional, nauseous, fatigued, can literally smell everything and have had sore boobs. When PMSing, the only one of these I normally experience is being emotional. Thank goodness I was right and not just overzealous symptom spotting. I'm so excited to be here with you all!
I feel like I'm right there with all of you! I also have been getting acid reflux which is super uncommon for me which is one of the reasons I tested. It seems to happen every afternoon. @princessnikkipants my internal clock is also up at 4am with a trip to the bathroom as well! Must be a good time to go
And I just puked at church! Apparently this little bean doesn't like Ephesians 6:11 anymore than I do! Thankfully I wasn't singing the offertory today or things would've gotten really interesting!
As a side note, have other STM/TTM noticed that the symptoms are much more intense and earlier than with previous pregnancies? I feel like last time I eased into the nausea and fatigue, but this time it is hitting me like a dump truck!

4w6d my boobs are killing me! Showering is not as enjoyable as it usually is when the water hitting my nips makes me want to cry! Also extremely nauseas all the time! Eating sometimes helps but it never fully goes away. Some fatigue but not major. And random moments of super power sense of smell.

What do you have against Ephesians 6:11. Armor of God? Is that controversial in some way? )
Back to symptoms: As of today, my boob soreness is beyond anything I've experienced before. Definitely pregnancy related.

What is happening September 22?
My first appointment! This was just for a regular check up with my OB/GYN, though. So I plan to call her tomorrow and maybe they will want to see me sooner? Not quite sure how all this appointment stuff works!
So I went food shopping today and almost gagged in the seafood department. I got that old familiar fuzzy-headed-kinda-nauseous feeling that I experienced with my last pregnancy. I didn't start feeling weird until 6 or 7 weeks last time so I'm kinda hoping this isn't a sign of worse things to come!
So I got a new one... I started getting a burning feeling in my throat today. Not really painful but just that kinda raw feeling. I could understand it if I had thrown up at all but I haven't. Just been nauseas. Yuck!
As pp said, weird and unexplained shortness of breath which I had with DS, def. starting to feel noticeably tired (not sure if that's from chasing a 3.5 year old or pregnancy or both haha), and a little bit of bloating but not too bad, and sore boobs were the absolute first sign like they were with my first.
They say im only 5 weeks but I think im farther than that, I was spotting 3 weeks ago with just a 2 day period the week before, I was nauseous certain.foods made me sick, I was really grumpy, oh my boobs.hurt so bad!!! Eeryone was asking if I was so I took a test, but after I see the doctor ill know exactly how far I am.
Hi everyone! I was charting and temping, but I thought something was up before anything stood out on my chart - I got a really awful metallic taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away about five days after I ovulated, and then I had a terrible headache for two days, and I don't get headaches hardly ever. But this felt like someone as clamping a vice on my temples. Then I had a few dizzy spells, which was weird. And then I started being thirsty all the time - like no amount of water could quench my thirst. My temp dipped and I thought I was out and waited for my period to start, but it didn't start like it usually does with a dip, and then I spiked the next morning so I tested. And voila. I'm ~4 weeks 5 days and yesterday I woke up to my boobs feeling like someone used them as punching bags. And I'm waking up really nauseous now.
I found out I was pregnant when I went in to my gyno for a procedure and the routine pregnancy test they do came back positive! I'm super exhausted, have zero energy, my boobs hurt, I am cramping. No nausea yet though. I am now 5 weeks.
Contrary to everyone's exhaustion, I am having INSANE insomnia as in days without any sleep. I am not sure if it is a result of weaning off of Klonopin or if it is pregnancy-related. I've always struggled to sleep, but it spiked to new and insane heights this weekend that made no sense because I was basically off of the Klonopin at that point and doing fine. I'm really anxious about the amount of medication I've taken in my desperate attempt to sleep this weekend, but there's nothing I can do about that now. I am really hoping this does not last for forever, because it is debhilitating.
@saladflambe - is this your first pregnancy? With my first I had CRAZY insomnia in the first trimester. I would be completely exhausted all day and as soon as my head hit the pillow -- nope. No sleep. It was horrible but did eventually go away (only to return late in third tri but that's a different issue...).

Also, obsessed with your screen name.
Yep this is #1 for me. I'd read about other people experiencing this insane insomnia and had kind of begun expecting the BFP because of it since nothing was adding up. I would, at this point, settle for just a couple of hours of sleep a night... Sheer torture... My brain tries to fall asleep & I just spasm & jerk awake within seconds of very light sleep.

-------------------------- Ugh. Hang in there mama, it'll get better eventually!
Not sure if I missed this but is anyone else feeling like someone lit a fire inside your body? I feel like a furnace! I'm normally cold. This isn't normal for me.
I felt like I was running a fever for a couple of days last week - really hot then chills, on repeat. I'm very happy it stopped. It was 100 degrees in TX last week and I was wrapped up in a blanket on the couch while H was in his underwear trying to be cool.
I had the same stretching feeling in my uterus that I had with my previous pregnancy. I also woke up at 3am one morning from a dream and I immediately thought 'I am pregnant'... Crazy! I have been feeling nauseous but not hungry and nothing tastes as great as it did before. My nausea goes away in the afternoon but comes back by morning which is strange to me... Anyone else having this?
@mrsblueeyes I've had the exact same symptoms (some cramping and a little bit of spotting). I called the OB this morning since I was driving myself nuts last night, and she said more than likely residual implantation bleeding. Such a mindfuck but totally normal.
Tested early because I was really hungry and cramping. No other symptoms really. Some nipple soreness but not always. A little nauseous here and there. Still cramping but hoping the nauseous doesn't get worse.
The only super noticeable symptoms I have had so far..is high temp. I burn up especially at night! This was the same with DS. I pray everyday to not have morning sickness because last time I wanted to die. I thank God every morning when I wake up with out it. I am praying for some grace this time around in that area! I have had some cramping here and there but nothing regular PMS hasn't done to me before! I am hungrier than normal but I'm trying to fight those cravings! Also I noticed I get tired earlier when I run. It's like my endurance is out the window!
I'm exhausted... It doesn't help that I'm a teacher and it's the second week of school. I've also been peeing a ton (which is also difficult because I'm a teacher haha), cramps, shooting pains in my boobs, emotional, and I have been nauseous... But I think the nausea has to do with my new prenatal vitamins. I've switched back to my other kind and its helped a little today
None yet other than feeling like I'm about to start my period. I felt a lot of cramping in the early weeks of my 1st pregnancy so I know this is normal and trying to not think the worst.
Is anyone else sweating profusely? If I'm outside for more than a minute I am dripping sweat from everywhere! I don't remember this happening last time!
So I noticed that every day for the last few days around 2pm I go from feeling totally normal, to completely exhausted and a little sick to my stomach. Haven't actually been sick yet, but I feel like today might be the day. (Is it weird I'm excited about that?) I googled it, and it turns out that hitting a 2pm wall is totally a thing in early pregnancy. Anybody else with me on this one?
@concreteayngel I've been hitting the 2pm wall as well. I'm tired and ravenous by that time the past few days... sometimes at 10am too. It happened with my first, but was compounded by morning sickness starting around week six. I've also had the crazy, vivid dreams-- most of mine last time were hilarious, so I'm actually excited to have that symptom again.

Not sweating so much yet but I feel like a freaking furnace! I didn't think hot flashes were supposed to start to early!! Lol!

Right now my feet are freezing but the rest of me is hot.... No idea how to stay comfortable >.<
Lower back pain and some fatigue before testing, since testing some cramping and even some brown discharge with wiping- maybe implantation bleeding?
