Non-clicky poll: What was your first symptom of pregnancy?

luckymrs. · May 2010

And when did you have it (how many DPO, or weeks into pregnancy)?

With DD, my first symptom was incredibly acute sense of smell (like a bloodhound) that started even before my period was due (maybe 9 DPO or so). I also had very slight implantation bleeding.

I didn't know it was a symptom at the time but tender/sore breasts and I always felt sick at the end of the day. That only last a couple weeks though. I actually found out I was preg. because I went to the Dr. for a UTI. My periods were'nt always like clockwork so the idea I could be preg. didn't occur to me yet.

extreme tiredness around 9dpo.. we were moving into our rental home and I was supposed to be unpacking but all I could do was just sit in the chair and look at the boxes. I could not muster up the energy to get up and unpack which was so weird because the day before I was unpacking up a storm!

Like pp said--my boobs were sore when I walked (and they aren't even large to begin with)---but I just thought my AF was coming. I was temping and that's actually when I figured it out and tested.

violetvirgo · May 2010

missed period. around 6 weeks i was barfing and gagging at everything.

britishbride05 · May 2010

10-12 dpo (i think...) with #1 I had severely sore and sensitive breasts

around thesame time (about a week before AF was due) with #2, i was incredibly constipated and had the worst implantation pinching/cramping. i thought AF was coming a week and a half early!

lmdbww · May 2010

I was having bad pangs of nausea on Thanksgiving, and got my bfp 5 days later (which was the day AF was due...)

I<3AGoftheS · May 2010

my breasts felt really heavy/full and were a little sore about a week before my period was due.

love.love · May 2010

both times the crazy sense of smell (which is currently driving me mad!) and needing a nap to make it through the day.

and my number one symptom, being extremely thirsty. I don't drink water near enough but with each pregnancy I was suddenly downing glass after glass and wanting more all the time. with this pregnancy I had tested and got a BFN but then the whole week I kept saying "I'm so thirsty I'm so thirsty" and I was like.. I know it, I'm pregnant.

generally around 4 weeks..

nooniesgal · May 2010

1st....smell at a couple weeks, then boobs hurting all before bfp. Plus tiredness, crampy, moody.

2nd....tired at fourth week (no other symptom)

eesome · May 2010

I was super overheated. I'm talking sweat pouring down my face, and I rarely sweat. That was around 9 DPO.

katekirschner · May 2010

Missed period. Although i never had cramps and think that I had some sort of implantation pain or cramp

PinkeLLe2 · May 2010

We weren't planning to TTC until 2011-12 sometime but about 16dpo, I was REALLY dizzy and was SO tired. As soon as I woke up from my nap that day, I knew and ran to the store for a test. I'm sure I had symptoms before but didn't really notice since again, we weren't trying or planning!

SBear12 · May 2010

For pregnancy #1: Heartburn, then a wave of nausea... both at 11 dpo, then tested and got BFP at 12 dpo.

For pregnancy #2: Weird taste in my mouth and a general "feeling"... I tested on 8 dpo and got a BFN at 6pm, then tested again at 11pm (the feeling was that strong) and got a BFP.

alaskabride2be · May 2010

I was not feeling "myself" around 13DPO and tested and got a BFN. I had been temping but thought that we missed the cycle due to being on vacation and not temping while gone. I still wasn't feeling my self a few days later and noticed that my breast were sore and I was so tired so I tested again at 16DPO and got my BFP!!

auslyn804 · May 2010

With both pregnancies my very first sign was "running to the bathroom to get sick" nausea at 7 dpo. I was sick early on with both. With ds I also had very sore boobs and with dd I started getting up in the middle of the night to pee prior to BFP.

beachlovinbride · May 2010

Nausea at 5wks and exhaustion. I felt like I could sleep 12hrs and still be tired.

NicoleWI · May 2010

Extreme irritability (like PMS but clearly worse) and a few hot flashes.

Quiksilver620 · May 2010

I actually didn't have any symptoms. I took a pregnancy test the morning I was supposed to pick up fertility meds because I have PCOS and we had been TTC for 7 cycles.

I was shocked to say the least

JoannaJes · May 2010

Nausea started for me around 7 DPO.

JessiRaye · May 2010

Since about 13 dpo. Tired and queasy.

WifeofaMarine · May 2010

My first symptom was extreme fatigue at 9 DPO (got a BFP at 10 DPO). I literally felt like I had been run over my a mac track and couldn't keep my eyes open. My other symptom right away was dizziness. I felt like I had vertigo all the time and had to sit down because I'd often get dizzy standing.

habsoilers · May 2010

I was charting and at 11 dpo my chart went triphasic so I had a pretty good idea. I didn't feel any actual symptoms until the day AF was due. On that day I was so hungry - I would eat and then an hour later I was starving again. I went home and tested and BFP : )

kabarbanel · May 2010

Slight implantation bleeding 4 days before AF was due. I was also INSANELY thirsty the few days leading up til I got my BFP, which was the morning AF was due.

iteachk · May 2010

Sheer exhaustion at 3wks.

katiekate1974 · May 2010

I've had three pregnancies, 1 birth.

1st: missed period.

2nd: I hated ketchup. I mean, HATE. And ketchup is my go to condiment. Tested Neg at 12 DPO, BFP at 16 DPO

3rd: itchy palms. BFP 9DPO, but only tested b/c it was my last test. I had NO expectation of actually being pregnant (we were cycling for IVF). The itchy plams was a hindsight symptom.

gettin' hitched · May 2010

I had a crazy cycle, so I think symptoms appeared around days 12-14. I had a sharp pain to the left of my belly button. I constantly pressed it to feel better. I also had GI symptoms and felt like I was 'coming down with something'.

N&G 5_26_07 · May 2010

a pregnancy test!

Other than that - I didn't have much early on. Maybe some extreme fatigue in the 1st tri. (I was lucky!)
