First pregnancy I as puking a week before I missed. This one, I cried at something stupid 2 days before, and my milk (I was still bf) almost completely dried up. I noticed that about 4 days before I missed.
Normal PMS symptoms...although maybe a little more crampy than usual. I always spot for a day or two before my period, and the spotting started right when I expected it to. But then the spotting fizzled out and a got a BFP a couple of days later.
I didn't really have any- I was charting so I knew the day I missed my period- the chances were pretty good. Still (knock on wood), don't have anything except some occasional cramping and im starving all the time.
Cramping that was different and days earlier than with AF. Usually my cramping starts 1-2 days before and escalates, but this time it was consistent and moderate. My uterus just felt different, and I just knew I was pregnant, even though this is my first. Swollen achy boobs (which I never had with PMS). My mittelschmerz felt different than usual too, but that might have just been a coincidence.
My breast hurt really bad which isn't normal for me even for AF. And then I was extremely tired and cravings started early, I made my husband take me to get pancakes at 3:30 one morning. And I was nauseated all the time.
I had sore boobs, very brief moments of nausea, more hunger, and I thought about meeting my DS the first time the morning before I realized I was late. Also super bloated and constipated

I was super moody, crying when watching a sweet commercial, cramping off and on, boobs hurt, but the most obvious sign for me was an increased sense of smell. When I turned on the shower for the past couple days, the chlorine in the water was so strong. I felt like I was at a water park with the strong chlorine scent. This also happens when I wash my hands. I also had implantation cramps around 7 DPO.
My pants were too tight, but I had not gained any weight was the biggest sign for me. I also had some cramping that started over a week before I was supposed to cycle.
I didn't have any this time around. I've had 2 CP (lost between 4 - 5 weeks) and both times I was definitely more sensitive to smells and felt overly emotional. This time, I literally had no symptoms (which I guess itself might be a symptom, since my boobs are usually really sore before AF and this time they were not nearly as bad as usual)

Nothing except slight dizziness when standing up (strange). I still don't feel too much but also don't feel any signs of AF's arrival so happy about that.
I had implantation bleeding and thought I was going to start my period, but we had just started trying and I didn't even know what implantation bleeding was at the time. I just thought my period was irregular because I had just quit BC. I didn't have any pregnancy symptoms until several weeks after my BFP.
Pretty much normal PMS symptoms - tender breasts, period-like cramping/lower back pain (although, this did go on for ~3 days off an on, whereas when I actually get AF I usually only get cramps ~1 day prior to her arrival). But nothing that couldn't be attributed to AF's impending arrival.
Hungry, very exhausted. Crampy a few days before my period (never happened before), and I felt bloated and "heavy" in my uterus. I just knew I was. Also, increase in restless legs, some lower back/hip pain and insomnia.
