Let's play "Help Sarah Obsess". Your pregnancy symptoms?
I have embraced the mind-fetus. Let's bring a little BOTB to the board. Take a walk down memory lane and tell me what your first pregnancy symptoms were so I can start imaging them, too!

Re: Let's play "Help Sarah Obsess". Your pregnancy symptoms?
this wont help you, I had none! Every other month I swear I had symptoms, then, I just tested for shits and giggles. I really didnt think it was our month.
But after that my boobs hurt a little.
This, exactly

Ohhhhh, I so hope this is IT! I've been thinking lots about you and hoping hoping hoping!!
I'm like a professional at creating and sustaining mind fetuses (fetii?), so I'm happy to help.
With #1 (no clue I was pregnant, but all these things made sense in retrospect):
-super tired
-sore boobs before my period started (they'd only ever hurt after I started in the past)
-aversion to chicken
-b!tchiness
-feeling like I was going to start my period any minute/crampiness
With #2 (TTC):
-twinges around implantation
-intense cramping
-tingly boobs
-nausea
-tiredness
Gladly! Mine started with sore boobs and extra discharge. M/S kicked in right at 14dpo on the nose.

I don't know how much this helps (did you nurse Ethan? I don't remember) but with E, I knew I was pg at 8DPO because I leaked a little colostrum, which hadn't happened since I'd weaned K 1.5 years before.

tired/exhausted, dizzy, feeling like I was going to get AF at any moment
Fingers and toes crossed that this is it for you!?
LOL You are so funny. I'm glad you're embracing this, no sense in fighting it right?
The first things I noticed were that I was STARVING, very tired and sore boobs! I was seriously so hungry I just wanted to eat everything in the house!
With DS I was SUPER tired, crampy, had food aversions and a super intense sense of smell....could smell EVERYthing in the grocery store and it gagged me. Tested at 8 DPO BFP. Then the boobs started hurting horribly!
With DD I was tired, cried about everything...including commercials that didn't warrant crying, slightly nauseous, gaggy, cramps like AF was coming. Tested at 8 DPO with dollar store tests BFN but tested again that same day with CBE digital BFP.
GL!!!
Both times--fuller, tender breasts. In hindsight, it was so obvious, I don't know I possibly missed it.
ETA: With my second pregnancy, I felt like I was going to get my period at any minute. I also was famished--I could not get enough food.
I had two symptoms that made me test at 10 DPO. #1 was that I started to feel a little faint at work, like I might pass out. It came in waves. I had never experienced anything like that before. #2 was that I was starving, like eating everything in sight and super thirsty. 2 days before I tested, DH and I got pizza and I can usually eat only half of my usual order and am stuffed. That night I ate the entire individual pizza complete with ranch and 2 bread sticks.

DD #2 - 03.13
I had heart palpitations with both. Literally the day before my period was due I had them. That's how I knew I was pregnant the second time. I don't have them any other time.
GL!
That is exactly what I told my pastor/friend just a couple of hours before I got my BFP.
Mine was that I did not have the rageful PMS symptoms towards DH that I usually have...I am a major PMS'er so that was a big tip off. I wasn't on edge or annoyed at all.
I wish you so much luck Sarah! I imagine this is so hard to go through day by day and I really hope this is the month for you!!! And I really kind of love obsessing with you!!!
Mine probably aren't all that helpful. I started getting tons of migraines. That was the most obvious one for me. But migraines are also a PMS sign for me.
I was also starving and my sense of smell was insane (my last pg when I lost the baby we were staying at my parents' house and I could smell when their dog pooped from across the house- NASTY).
I think those were my earliest symptoms with all my pregnancies. I hope you're KTFU!!!

Liam is 5!
With DD I was charting. 7DPO on, I had weird ovulation like constant pains and nothing else. Tested at 10dpo, +.
With DS I wasn't charting, no clue what DPO, but I had one bathroom trip that when I wiped it was pink - and the next day the ovulation crampy thing started again.
Whee! We could be Aug 2010 mommies together!
Right now I have:
sore boobs and a more bodacious bust
Morning sickness after breakfast
a raging yeast inf. (TMI, I know, but I was plagued with them throughout my last pregnancy, too)
The day before I got my BFP (Monday), I had lots of abdominal twinging, like cramps, but I usually don't get crampy until after AF starts.
I had none. I always thought I had sore boobs, but I had those as PMS too. So basically...nothing. I tested the day before AF was due and the line popped up. Sorry- I'm no help.
I really hope this is your month sweetie!!! T & P's coming your way!!
I had an IUI with my DD and I remember having cramps. I thought for sure I was getting AF. In fact, when I went in for the beta, I said to the nurse, I know it's negative. Much to my surprise it was positive. When is your beta?
