I didn't know I was pregnant but I made an OB appt because I thought I found a lump on my breast. My periods were always irregular so missed periods were never an indicator.
After I found out, I realized my first signs were constipation and exhaustion. Then came the morning sickness.
I felt incredibly tired, to the point that I couldn't keep my eyes open at 9:00 in the evening.

Saving money for IVF #3. Started a ton of supplements in May 2012 and hoping for a miracle!
SURPRISE BFP!! (October 2012)
Funny story at the time...we were having 5 house guests coming to stay w/us plus I was repainting pretty much our whole house.
I had stomach aches and felt but I thought it was because I was nervous about these houseguests coming(they were staying over 3 weeks).
Finally, one morning it was really bad so I said I'm either pregnant or really sick & need to go to the hospital. I was pregnant & the day I found out was on my dd's 1st birthday!!
I knew at 2 wks because I was so tired and I had weird twinging cramps. DH thought I was crazy until I took a test 2 wks later and finally got the BFP, we were also trying though. It took 2 times w/o bc to get KU
I had to take a test because I was getting ready to have surgery to unclog my falopian tubes the next week and the doctor told me to take it. It was a total surprise for us although we had been trying for over a year with medications and surgeries before. Our LO is truly our little miracle!!
I was a little tired and REALLY thirsty the week before I tested...but I didn't necessarily think that Iw as pregnant because of that...the real thing that made me question was I did not spot...I always use to spot 5 days before my period came. So when I wasn't spotting I thought something may be up

I was charting and my temp stayed up. Other than that, I didn't have any symptoms until after I found out. I found out at 3 weeks 3 days and was very tired and queasy starting around 6 weeks.
I tested 5 days before AF. I had been testing for a few months and was not going to test on this particular month but on the day that I tested my boobs hurt and I felt a pit in my stomach for a few days. I tested (it was my birthday) and almost fell over. On the day I was due to get AF I kept my fingers crossed that AF didn't show up.

This time around, it was implantation spotting. And then I was feeling sick unless I was eating something. The first test I took was BFN though but I didn't believe it.
It was kind of funny because I went off the pill and completely forgot to write down when my last period was. Some time passed by and all of a sudden I realized that's it's been a looong time since my last AF. Took the pregnancy test and 9 months later we had DS
Aside from AF, the first few months I was beyond exhaustion. I'd come home and go to sleep around 8:30!
After TTC for almost a year we were going to take a break. I didn't feel ANY symptoms except AF was late. So I figured I'd POAS just for the hell of it.... and wham!
We had just started progesterone that month after TTC for over a year. My husband had suspected it b/c i didnt feel all that great, but after so much disappointment he didnt say anything...i just thought I was getting sick. Then I went to put on a cute shirt for my aunt's birthday party and b/c of my boobs being abnormally large it was 2 inches to short for me to feel comfortable wearing it. I took a test the next morning, though it still took me an hr to convince myself to do it!
bloating before getting my AF when i usually get it during AF. And weird dreams 1-3xs/night..first just with random babies..then my own. After I got BFP, i started peeing more duing the night and having heartburn.
I didn't take a test because of symptoms, but after getting the positive tests the feeling of constantly wanting to sleep for the previous few days made a lot more sense.
I had heart burn and indigestion. I NEVER get heart burn but all of a sudden I was popping DH's tums like candy. I took a test two days later and it was positive.
I was charting and my temps did not go down when they were suppose to. I didn't have any physical symptoms for a few weeks later and that was when I was so tired that I didn't see the 10:00 news for 3 months.
Re: What were your first signs of pregnancy???
AF didn't come....
Oh and I was hungry all the time!

Puking. Puking. Puking.
My nipples hurt.
First, my body started rejecting alcohol - it tasted funny, smelled funny and made my stomach sour when I drank it.
Then, I started feeling "wierd"..just different. I figured I was pregnant or dying.

Felt like AF was coming.
My periods were very regular and it hadn't shown up by the time it was supposed to. So, I tested.
