Is shortness of breath an early pregnancy symptom?

in 1st Trimester
I'm not sure if I am pregnant or not because I keep testing negative, but I have been having symptoms for a couple of weeks now.  Sometimes I feel like I can't breath! I have to take 3 deep breaths before the feeling passes.  I've heard this can happen in the 3rd trimester, but has anyone experienced shortness of breath really early on?

    If you are not testing positive then, no, it is not a pregnancy symptom.

    I have not experienced that yet. If you think you may be experiencing pg symptoms, are you sure your ticker is correct?  The best thing to do is give it some time and POAS. Good luck!

    Considering your period started 4 days ago (according to your ticker) and you've gotten multiple negative tests, I'm going to guess that you're not experiencing pregnancy symptoms. As the ladies here say often, if you're pregnant enough for symptoms, you're pregnant enough to get a + HPT.

    The ticker is wrong! I haven't had my period yet. Guess I need to change that!  It could be allergies. I do live in Central Texas, so that is very possible. My fingers are still crossed that I will test positive soon. If not, my other symptoms must just be related to coming off my birth control.  Thanks for the replies!

    It could be allergies.

    Shortness of breath comes from a spike in progesterone, as well -- which could be pregnancy-related but could ALSO simply mean that you ovulated.  In my normal cycles, my post-O breathing feels different from pre-O due to the progesterone - I'm just very sensitive to it, I guess.

    In the end, my 2ww symptoms were the same across the board whether I was pregnant or not.

    Good luck.

    I had shortness of breath earlier in my pregnancy, but again, it was after a positive HPT.  As the other brilliant ladies here said, if you're pregnant enough for symptoms, you're pregnant enough for a test.  GL!

    This.

    I don't know how this simple logic still confuses people.
