pre-BFP symptoms

Lisa3683

what were your pre-BFP symptoms. Did anyone experience lower back pain and cramps and think af was on her way?

~Flossie~

Just sore boobs. But that is a symptom I usually get before AF so I really didnt expect to get a BFP.

I was absolutely sure my period was about to start any second. I had cramps and my boobs hurt.

GL to you!

My symptoms were all the same as right before I get AF, lower back pain, cramps, boobs sore, tired (maybe a little more tired than normal).

I'm waiting to intro myself after my beta, but I've had lots of AF-like cramps (I tested yesterday and had such bad cramps last night that I was seriously scared).  Low back pain, and sore breasts. 

All of these could be side-effects of the prometrium, but I was a bit suspicious that I was pregnant because I had none of those symptoms during my previous cycles.

Exact same as AF symptoms, cramps and back pain.

i actually started to get leg cramps in my thighs, which is usually a tall tale sign for me that AF is right around the corner but i ended up getting a BFP on 12 DPO.

This - exactly...

Ok, I'm super in tune with my body, so this may sound a little wierd, but I could pretty much tell I was pregnant about 3 dpo.

 I had a chemical pregnancy the cycle before, so that may have had something to do with it??

My lower abdomen started gurgling (like gas bubbles, except I wouldn't pass gas), and then I got a tugging feeling in my lower abdomen, along with hardcore heartburn.

A week later I got waves of nausea/dizziness, that developed into pretty bad nausea all day.  Then my bbs got sore and I began to get VERY hungry all the time.  And then right before I was supposed to start AF, I got white watery cm.  On top of that, I feel like I've lost my mind - not very alert and forgetting everything.

Not to be rude... but have you tested yet? You posted a few days ago that you didn't know if you were KU.

OP: I agree w/ PPs, a lot of "pre-BFP" symptoms could be AF.  BFP dust your way...

I was extremely tired starting at about 5 DPO.  I was going to sleep every night at like 6 or 7 pm and sleeping until 8 am the next day, just in time to wake up, shower, and leave for work. Hubby knew I was pregnant right away but I was in denial.  When my boobs started to hurt on CD 28, I figured AF was coming.  Hubby bought a test for me that day and I took it as soon as I got home to prove him wrong.  He was right.  I was pregnant.  So far, the only symptoms I have is that I am exremely tired all the time and my boobs are huge and sore.  No MS, thank goodness.

Stretching in my lower abdomen, back soreness and extrem tiredness.  I just knew I was due to the fact I had the streching and that was one of the signs from DS.

First pregnancy: heartburn and an unending hunger started about 2 days before I tested. (I don't test til AF is officially late.) I also was randomly light-headed (while sitting completely still.) I knew something was up.

Second pregnancy: two days before AF was due, I developed conjunctivitis and a nasty cold. In the space of 12 hours. (Last pregnancy I got everything and anything passing thru, so I thought maybe something was up!) (The indigestion took a few weeks to settle in this time.)

Any AF related symptoms i discounted as too difficult to read one way or the other.

Totally thought AF was on the way due to cramping. Also my knee joints were really bothering me. My Doc said he's never heard of that but I'm convinced it was due to my pregnancy. Weird, I know.

I had to pee all of the time, and that might have even started right after the BFP. My boobs didn't get sore until into my 5th week. I didn't feel pregnant at all. I might have been tired. But for me it didn't feel like AF was coming as is the case for other people.

I didn't have any symptoms - I was pretty surprised when I got the BFP because I didn't feel any unusual symptoms at all. 

snkatha

Pre-af i always seem to get bad pms. this time i had absolutely NO pms until my fiancee asked me if i was ok because i wasn't crying as usual :-p my other symptom is my boobs were sore and got HUGE am turinig ten weeks tomorrow and already i'm up a full cup size.

Mrs.Johns

I had a vision in the night, that's how I knew I must be pregnant.

Seriously, just take a test. I don't know what the big deal is.

Rachiemoo

sore boobs, uncontrollable hunger and AF like mood swings.

Mrs.LD813

I was sure af was going to arrive any minute! I got my BFP on Tues. am...Mon. am I had some very light brown spotting, and then Tues. woke up w/ cramps.  I thought POAS would be pointless, but did it anyway b/c my temp was high.  I could not believe that it was +!

I also had some strange heartburn/burp thing going on Sunday after having a milkshake, so that made me wonder if something was up? I've had increased heartburn ever since Sunday (and I typically never get it). 

TeamK07

yes to both cramps and lower back pain.   Also, I was freezing cold and very tired.

jmuangel8

I was just waiting for AF to show up any minute. I had cramps even worse then before AF up until about 6 1/2 weeks. The only other symptom I had was sore boobs before my BFP.
