1st Trimester

A Quick ?

Hello my late night ladies- I am a bumper and had a few questions you ladies might be able to help me with.

What were some of your symptoms but most importantly when did you first see them show. I still have 5-6 days until testing but I have had moderate cramping and some breast discomfort. I am not sure if it is pg or AF related...any info would help!! Thanks

  • Way back when in April of 2008, tender breasts were one of my very first symptoms.  The tricky thing about it is, as you probably know, super early pregnancy symptoms are (almost) indistinguishable from PMS stuff.  Good luck!

  • I think everyone is different, I was expecting AF and had all the symptoms of it, but got a bfp...just goes to show you never know! Good luck lady!

  • Thanks ladies! I am so hoping I can join in on the fun of this board soon! DH and I are getting worn out and we have so much coming up (my college grad, closing on a house) we are trying to remain as stress free as possible and make this happen! I know everyone is different but I am not sure if 6-7 dpo symptoms had shown up for anyone else!! Thanks again

  • I had some cramping a few days before day #28. ?It was like menstrual cramping, but I could tell it was different. ?Of course I doubted it until I got a BFP on day 28. ?Other than that I had no symptoms of pregnancy until the puking began at week # 7.

  • I ovulated February 8th and started getting symptoms a week later.. I never got sore boobs before with AF, so I knew something was up. ?It was also the first time I'd got a positive LH test. ?I had migraines too.. which I'd also never had. ?I got my BFP on the 23rd and AF was due on the 30th.. but since I o'ed so early, I think that's why I was positive 7 days before. ?Hope that helps!
  • It was kind of funny for me, since I wasn't actuvely trying to get pregnant, but I was so curious because I really felt I had the symptoms.  So I had 12 bucks in my pocket and stood at the store, desperately trying to decide if I should get tampons OR a test.

    I chose the test, which I was saving for the next morning, only to get AF within a few hours of the purchase, and having to scramble for money to get tampons.

    Next month, I was soooo b*tchy to my staff, screaming at the poor guys for no reason, and I could just hear myself being so out of control, but I figured it was PMS.  One morning on a total whim, I had the left over test and whipped it out, figuring it was surely going to be a negative (it was 2 days before I even expected AF, I had no real reason other than a gut feeling to think I might be pg), and sure enough it turned + right in front of me!

    Sometimes, you have to go with gut feeling and not so much the physical symptoms.

  • I know one thing that was different, I did not just have sore boobs it was my nipples themselves that were untouchable -both times. I also seem to get food aversion immediately. gl!
  • I actually thought I was going to start my period.  I started having cramping a day or so before I normally would, and than when aunt flo never came, I decided to take a test. 
  • Absolutely no symptoms for me.  I was tired, emotional, tender breasts, some cramping, but nothing different than PMS.

  • didnt have any symptoms until after bfp.  at 10-11dpo, had mild cramping like AF cramps.  breast tenderness started at about 5-6 weeks and has been going strong since.  good luck!

    I started having hearburn and super sore boobs around dpo8, so I took a test and it was negative. I figured, that I was not pg. Then the closer it got to my expected AF, I started getting more emotional and my nipples and boobs were so sore I could not sleep on them. I figured that I was emotional and irritable because that's how I react to my aunt and when AF did not show up, I took a test and got a positive.?

    Good Luck! ?

  • i couldn't tell until about 2 days before my missed period and i started getting cramps..  they felt like ovulation/period cramps so i though i was getting my period but did take a test a day before my missed period and got a very faint line - a line is a line so i knew i was pregnant.. and since then my boobs were my main sign - i mean seriously - i feel like chopping those suckers off sometimes! 

     I always know when i'm ovulating b/c i get this extreme stretching pain in my abdominal for one day every month and after i knew i was pregnant i was getting them every single day.. they just recently stopped wheew! 

     

    Good luck!
