I wasn't able to find my first post on the Aug. 11 board, but I did find a very embarrasing post that I made on TTGP about throwing up at 8DPO and being excited that I might be pregnant.
I sort of got flamed because people didn't think that I could have morning sickness that early. Well..... I tested 2 days later AND..... I got my BFP! LOL.
I knew something was up with my body!
What was your earliest symptom that made you think you were pregnant?
ETA: Spelling.
Re: Morning Sickness at 8DPO?...lol
LOL - I wrote some pretty silly posts in my day, too. Makes me blush to think about some of them. lol
Earliest symptoms - With DD1, I was super bloated. Like can-hardly-do-my-pants bloated. I thought it was just AF bloat, though. With DD2, nothing. I was charting and was really trying to hold out testing because we don't have dollar-store tests here and I'm cheap like that. (Seriously, at $6-7 a pop, stocking up on pee sticks isn't really a good idea) I don't think I would have thought to test if I hadn't been charting because I had absolutely no symptom. So you could say my first symptom ended up being a BFP
I was due on Thanksgiving and nothing. I took a test that night and couldn't tell. I called a friend and she said she had period like cramps and I did too. Friday I took 2 more and we will still couldnt read them. Saturday we headed home after spending a few days with the inlaws and bought a digital. That test I could read, DH made me take a few more! Monday I went to the doc and had it confirmed. My birthday was that Friday and we told our families.
For me, it was the strong sense of smell combined with nausea. The day before we got our BFP we went to eat at a local favorite diner. DH ordered brussels sprouts and I could smell our food coming from a mile away... then the server set them in front of me
we bought tests on the way home from that dinner & the next day, BFP!
Same here. I kept waiting for AF to come because I was cramping and my breasts were sore, which is totally normal for me. After more than a week of "menstrual cramps" but no AF I took a test just to be sure and got a BFP. I was surprised but sooo excited! Plus, I got my BFP on December 21st so we told the family on Christmas as an extra special gift.
I was looking at an email with those chalk drawings that guy does that look like you can walk into them (see below) and I got serious vertigo, probably around 8-10DPO. I laughed and joked about it to another Bumpie in an email saying, "haha, I must be pregnant." I got my BFP at 12 DPO

CRYING! LOL! I literally cried over everything and it was nuts. I thought there was something up when I cried in the frozen food section at Safeway.
I was charting and knew that we had sex when I ovulated and were in the 2 ww. At 7DPO I went to the doctor because of an awful sore throat (strep) and sharp back pains. They ended up sending me to the ER because I had a temp of 103 and was in a crazy amount of pain. The ER did a blood test and it was negative. They ran a bunch of tests and put me on a strong antibiotic. 5 days later at 12 DPO, something told me to POAS and it was positive! They never did find out what caused the back pain and DS appears to be unaffected by the strong meds!
