What symptoms did you have before BFP?

wagneram13 · March 2011

Sorry if this is asked a lot. I think I should remember this from my 1st pregnancy but I really have forgotten. We were also on vacation the week before I found out I was pregnant in 2009 so I was pretty distracted.

Anyway, I am planning to wait till Thur/Friday to test if AF does not show (due Thursday) though I am so tempted to test early. I am 10 DPO today. So far my breasts feel fuller, I have had an increased appetite, some insomnia and creamy CM. I hope these are real symptoms and not phantom ones.

I hope to be joining you ladies on this board soon! Have a nice night!

None. My breasts were a little sore, but that's pretty common before a period.

jonnygurl76 · March 2011

my breasts were sore, i suddenly had veins on my chest that weren't there before and i had serious insomnia.

jb2rn · March 2011

none other than cramps. I tested at 12 dpo (my LP was anywhere from 11-13 days) due to low cramps.

Sore breasts, trouble doing exercise that was possible just weeks before, exhaustion

LauraElizabeth85 · March 2011

Achy boobs, sore nipples, AF like cramping with no sign of AF, creamy CM

Sore and swollen boobs, fatigue, and increased appetite were my main symptoms.

NikkiMarie · March 2011

My first BFP: I had a high appetite until implantation (I was charting and knew that crap) and then completely lost my appetite. I also had very sore nipples (not boobs) and they almost felt like they were burning. I broke out very bad too

This time: no real symptoms except I have been trying to lose weight and it was not working...but my belly gained an inch. DH said my boobs are huge, and they have been sore. I am very thirsty these days, and my lips are so chapped and cracked, it is disgusting.

GL and my fingers are crossed for you!

I didn't realize I was experiencing pregnancy symptoms, but I was bloated and had constant indigestion the week of my BFP. I also noticed an increased appetite.

I too am 9 or 10 DPO (got a positive OPK on 3/17 and 3/18). Got a negative today, but don't know how far out I am from my period (I haven't had a regular period for years due to an IUD). I have had horribly sore boobs since Wednesday, and have been tired. I plan to keep testing 1 time each day (in the am) until a BFP or AF.

With preg #1 I had no symptoms until a few days after my BFP, then my boobs were really sore, and by 6 weeks I have full fledged (severe) morning sickness.

With preg #2 I had no symptoms until 5 weeks when the food aversions and smells started to bug me. My breasts (again) were very sore.

this is my 2nd pregnancy so this time around the only thing I really noticed was being more tired and getting up to pee in the middle of the night. I didn't get sore boobs this time around at all (yay!)

lurking here...

just a heads up, i took a test the day my period was supposed to start, and it was negative.

I took another one 2 weeks later and it was positive. I went to the dr the next day and found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. go figure.

I had cramps for 3 days up to my missed period, so i thought for sure i was getting it. I also had MAJOR adversions to alcohol. Im a beer lover and the smell was making me GAG. I just COULDNT drink. Thinking back on it, I was super super tired around week 3-4, but didnt know i was pregnant at the time so blamed it on overdoing it during the holidays.

Good luck!!

I had none and didn't until 7 weeks or so.

mbf124 · March 2011

Cramps, but they were different from AF cramps. I had a feeling I was pregnant from 4DPO on...I guess something was just "off"

this. now I have sore breasts and the light, lower than normal cramping continues.

fraglette · March 2011

All I had was constipation.

soldierswife · March 2011

I had cramps but they were similar to AF cramps. The thing that tipped me off was my chest being extremely sore...much more so than normal AF stuff.

hopin4baby1 · March 2011

My boobs were so sore that I wanted to cry. It hurt to wear a bra but hurt to not wear one...it was miserable. I had some cramping, frequent urination, so tired I felt like I could stay in bed all day and some nausea. I had all those symptoms but still didn't know I was pregnant...I thought it was due to the HRT I was on. Didn't find out until I was 8 weeks and I felt kinda stupid. lol! Good Luck!

The only symptom I really noticed was that my boobs didn't hurt, unlike the cycle before when they were very sore from ovulation til AF showed up. Also, I noticed the veins on my boobs appeared more blue, which isn't normal for me either. I've also had creamy CM since ovulation. Those were the only "symptoms" I had, and I got my BFP at 9DPO. GL!
