I didn't really start feeling this pregnancy fatigue, and sore nipples until around 9 DPO. I got my BFP around 9DPO and my digital yesterday. That's unusually early though. I've never gotten a BFP that early with any of my other pregnancies.

Symptoms are pretty useless indicators until you get a BFP, though.

8 DPO is too early for any symptoms except for implantation bleeding. You're welcome to stay, but I suggest going to the "trying to get pregnant" forum and join one of the "tww" (two week wait) threads.

waiting for what?

wait for period or BFP

They have daily "WTO" (waiting to ovulate) and "TWW" (two week wait- since most luteal phases are about two weeks) threads where people talk about where they are and how they are feeling (one of the sections is "R/R/CS"- rant/rave/chart stalk request). I found it immeasurably helpful while TTGP.

I agree with PP's about joining the TTGP board. I learned an insane amount while I was over there. Also, for my BFP, I had fewer symptoms that most other months. All the things you mentioned were typical PMS symptoms for me. Especially at 8 DPO. Actually, 8 DPO was my typical "symptom spotting google everything I'm totes KTFU" starting point each month prior to actually getting KTFU.

I had absolutely zero symptoms before my BFP. Zero! I do agree with the other gals, though. This is definitely more of a TTGP/TWW post.

I would recommend against symptom spotting in general, because early pregnancy symptoms are often indistinguishable from PMS. I would especially recommend against asking if others had the same symptoms on the TTGP board, because you will be told that many people there have never been pregnant, and to come ask here. Someone will also likely dig up this chart for your reference, so I may as well get it out of the way now:



I would recommend lurking the TTGP board, getting to know how things work (tone, threads, and so on), then introducing yourself and hopping on to the TWW thread. It's a really supportive group, with a science-based approach and some killer wit. They kept me grounded through the process. 

Best of luck, and I hope to see you back here.

I agree with everyone else. I wouldn't ask about symptoms Bc theres so validity. This pregnancy, I swore I wasn't pregnant. DH made me take a test Bc of how sore my breasts were (which is a typical pms symptom for me so I didn't think much of it) and low and behold. I know you want to hold on to any hope you can but that can cause more harm if it's not your month. I hope we see you back when your TWW is over.
