What was your first symptom?

trucksntutus

I didn't see this anywhere so hopefully it isn't a re-post! But I'm just curious, what tipped you ladies off to thinking you could be expecting?? I had incredibly sore boobs and still do.  It's been my most noticeable symptom to this day.

What were your first symptoms??

Dizziness!

We went to a hockey game the night before my BFP and 2 things:

1. There was a little boy that dropped the ceremonial first puck that had beat cancer, and just seeing him made me teary-eyed, I'm emotional but usually don't cry at random people

2. The beer I was having was not going down very well and felt a little nauseous

Ouchie boobies.

Missed period. I usually have a day before warning. Really light, mostly old blood. This time a big fat nothing. AF for me never is off and shows up on time. Only time she was different was when I was on bc, she was 3 days instead of 4.

Heightened sense of smell... And crying but both of those were only in hindsight after I got my BFP

anskip

Sense of smell. It was the same with my DD. Two days later I missed my period

Heartburn-with all 3 kids!

fantasticmrsfox

Sensitive nips and heartburn

benten24

Nausea and then tender breasts

Puddles03

Crying at stupid stuff. I can always hold it together except when pregnant!

I tested at 12 dpo because I couldn't wait any longer and I got a BFP. I had no symptoms that made me think I was pregnant. I had sore boobs but I always got that before my period so I wasn't considering it a symptom. 

The first symptom I had was fatigue that started at around 4.5 weeks, and then nausea at 6 weeks. 

ceillyang

A migraine that lasted for a few hours. Then it came back every few days. Thought I was pregnant or catching a cold.

DarkCat

I noticed I wasn't spotting leading up to my period. I also noticed my nipples were very sensitive to the touch. I took a pregnancy test the day after my period was due and of course positive.

nopegoat

Nausea and fatigue.

FiancB

No symptoms. I'd been charting and my period was a little later than usual, but not by much. I was still convinced I was definitely not pregnant- the only reason I took a test is because I have ADD and had a test that day and I wanted to be cleared to take my Adderall. So there went my attention span x100 after seeing a second line haha. I think I was 13 dpo. 

But that night I had some weird discharge which I was then sure meant a miscarriage was imminent so I guess that was my first symptom. No idea how I managed to be unaware that leukorrhea was a thing. Sore boobs, breakout, funny-feeling joints, and spaciness set in a couple days later.

The (pretty clean) fridge smelled gross. I closed the door and immediately texted my DH to bring home a test. With my first pregnancy I couldn't open the fridge without throwing up for months.

mandyjulie

Sore boobs that began way before PMS, at about 6 dpo.

pourmeanothermocktail

I actually had frequent urination starting at 12 DPO but I was so sure that I wouldn't get pregnant the first month, I waited until my period was two days late to test (16 DPO).

IB113

I had sore boobs but that is typical for me before my period. The thing that seemed off was the copious amount of creamy white CM. in retrospect, I was dizzy a couple of times the two days before BFP, but I'm still not sure that was related.

Christal161

My first symptom was heart burn! I've only had heart burn when I was pregnant with DS, so I knew right then and there. It really was the worst heart burn too. It woke me up in the middle of the night and I had to take 2. Next day, I had sore breast.
I only took a HPT around 5 days later and got a very faint positive (followed by darker positives later on).

LinzerBinzer

The day before my BFP I left work early, thinking I was getting sick - I basically felt like I had been hit by a truck. I had no energy and felt kind of off. Not full nausea, but unsettled for sure. I went to bed at 8:30, woke up and tested.

noelietrex

Crying over nothing (3 times the week before BFP) and sore nipples- my boobs get sore every month, but the nipples I've never experienced before

jennyleigh16

Cramping, but I thought it was in anticipation of getting my period. I cramped every day from about 6 DPO until 4 weeks-ish. I was charting though so I tested with a FRER a few days before my expected period and lo and behold. 

trucksntutus

I'm right there with you!! I've found myself crying over a few television commercials involving children! So unlike me.

wispymel

Funny activity in my tummy. Not quite cramps, but sensations.

sboston06

My only symptom that I couldn't attribute to pms was creamy CM. I usually never have that type and I had it the day before my BFP at 11dpo. After that I started feeling sore breasts, breathlessness and mild cramping.

Anewman1985

Sore boobs and crampy abdomen, and I ugly cried because my favorite cup broke

Eveinshock

1 Yeast infection which I've only ever gotten from antibiotics. I even went to the dr for it. She gave me a cream for it but never asked if I could be pregnant so I thought nothing of it. I found out it was a symptom on Google. 2 major heartburn which I rarely get. I was popping tums left and right. 3 my nipples were really sensitive. Like I would snap at my fiancé if he touched me there. People say breast pain but I couldn't describe it like that. 4 also cramping almost like period cramps but a week early. These all started 6-7 days after I ovulated. And I wasn't symptom searching bc we weren't TTC and I never dreamed I'd get pregnant. I started to connect the dots and then took a test (not even an early test) at 12 days and had a bright pink line almost to the control.

I didn't have any symptoms, really! I just tested at 10 DPO because we had been actively trying and I was curious. I still don't have any major symptoms at 6 weeks; I even took another pregnancy test today to make sure I was still pregnant because I felt like I was missing something! Maybe they'll hit in full force eventually. 

addyplusone

Well with TTC I was temping, so I tested at 10 dpo and then again at 13 dpo. 10 dpo was negative. The night before the 13th I was slightly nauseated and my boobs were really painful, either of those could have been PMS symptoms but I was hopeful. The next morning, BFP!

MeganWorden

Fatigue basically from the day after conception all I want to do is sleep. I would totally hibernate away the first trimester if I could. I was the same way with DS1. DH said he knew 2 days before i tested because 1) I was going to bed at 8:30 and 2) when he came to bed I was very hot when I am usually a very cold sleeper when not pregnant. 

SMLEU

Felt sick to my stomach and very dizzy.  Achy boobs and finally a missed period.

winnie1122

I tested at 10dpo because we were trying, so no symptoms tipped me off. My first symptoms were sore boobs and bloating, the usual firsts! 

sdoyle85

Sore boobs 3-4 days after conception! I only ever get sore breasts a day or two before period and this cycle I was sore for weeks before my bfp!

courtn3ynicole

Extremely tired and nauseous.

decoycandy

Although I didn't know it at the time insomnia and thirst. Then bloating and mild cramps.

KesTom0906

My hair was falling out (I swear I lost 5 million strands with my daughter) , breasts were bigger ... Couldn't fit my sports bra on to workout, and extreme exhaustion

acn5028

With my first pregnancy and this one, the first clue was the extreme exhaustion. I would come home from work, change and lay down... I'm pretty sure I could sleep for 20 hrs a day if I was able in the first trimester!

JewelToned

I guess it would be hormonal outbursts...from crying to anger and then total exhaustion. Both started right after ovulation...I should have put two and two together to realize that Daylight Savings Time adjustment doesn't take 2 weeks. Lol I was passing out at 7-8 each night. DH almost killed me...luckily I gave him a good excuse yesterday with our BFP!

ambarnett1

Heartburn and when I ate it felt like it wasn't going down right. Same thing happened with DS2.
