symptoms before AF or a BFP?

Most of the time, I have no symptoms whatsoever before AF. When seeing all the BFP's, I notice a trend that most have tender breasts and/or cramps.

I have a theory that the bigger your boobs are the less likely you are to notice if they are swollen or sore.

I base this solely on the face that I never have any boob symptoms and I'm a 34E.

My boobs definitely didn't get sore until about a week after my BFP. I did however have cramps pre BFP.

some months when i would get AF i would have symptoms & sometimes i wouldnt have any. it was kind of weird. my bfp cycle my boobs werent any sorer (is that a word?) than af cycles, however, my right boob had a sudden growth spurt at 8 dpo - it took lefty a few days to catch up.

Mine wasn't cramps or tender breasts (I get both of those with AF).  My symptom was being bloated and gassy.  And, I didn't really think it was a pregnancy symptom...until I got my BFP.

My boobs have yet to be sore...I was a DD pre-pregnancy and now who knows how big they are. They just felt heavy.

 I did have a lot of cramping though...the same as AF cramps.

I personally have always gotten every symptom in the book for AF every month. The swollen boobs, the cramps, the nip pains... so I figured, I'm not going to think anything is different - unless i get nothing, but I doubt that....

LOL, oh sorry.

I had tender breasts and went up two cup sizes and was cramping prior to getting my BFP when I got pregnant with DS.  This month I have tender boobs and I am cramping and I have money on AF showing up soon.  HTH

No cramps or boob soreness. Just a terrible backache.

Me too. This is why I try not to put much attention to my phantom symptoms because they usually turn out being pms symtoms.

I don't get any AF symptoms either. The only way I know so far is by my temp drop that it is coming.  So I am curious what the symptoms will be for a BFP for me, if any.

Check out the link in my siggy to my chart. My BFP and previous cycle are in there. There's a definite difference in symptoms.
