Hi ladies. . .
I don't post on this board becasue I am in the TTC phase. However I wanted some input from you all. I am about 8 DPO and I have had a few symptoms of pregnancy. One being morning sickness ( I think). I made my FAVORITE meal this morning; waffles with strawberries and chocolate chips and after one bite I had to stop eating. I couldn't force myself to take another bite! I have also noticed in the last 2-3 days that I have to pee all the time. I've been TTC for 8 months and this hasn't happened during any of my TTC cycles. I know it could all be in my head, but I wanted to see if anyone else had such EARLY symptoms. Thanks for your input. Fingers crossed for a BFP in a few days.
Re: when did morning sickness start for you?
He's the single greatest thing I've done in my life and reminds me daily of how fun (and funny) life can be. He's turned out pretty swell for having such a heartless and evil mother.

If you are having symptoms then the HCG is high enough, it can be detected on a pregnancy test. However, phantom symptoms are your worst enemy.
For me, I had motion sickness/nausea at the 7 week mark. Hormones and pregnancies vary person to person and after 5 days, I haven't had much of a problem. My biggest pregnancy symptom is extremely dry skin and bigger boobs.
Nausea started for me around 6 wks, actually 5 w 5d. My only really early "symptom" was the lack of AF symptoms. My breasts didn't start to swell and get sore until the day before AF was due, which is very late for me. If you're pregnant enough for symptoms you're pregnant enough to test positive, but I'd wait a few more days just to be sure.
The only symptom I noticed before testing (I think a day before testing) is craving chocolate milk, which I am usually not a fan of. Tiredness hit soon after, but I didn't get any morning sickness until well into 7 weeks...of course I only had it once.
Like previous posters have said, don't let things get to you just yet. Hopefully you are pregnant, but if you aren't it will be more dissappointing than before if you analyze every symptom. I have done that way too many times while ttc.

During my first pregnancy, I started to get waves of nausea around 6 weeks or so. I am very early in pregnancy #2, but I have noticed a different, strange similarity between these two pregnancies. Both times, I ate a salad about 9 days past ovulation and ended up having terrible diahrea (sorry for the TMI). Also, I am very fatigued already. I don't think that started so early last time.
This time, I have had one or two brief waves of nausea. I also have had two little dizzy spells this time around.
GL to you.
