Poll: Early pg symptoms

kfishie · January 2012

(Note: I have not tested yet, just grasping at straws and any little "sign" of hope, hence this question....rather than turn to google, I figured I would ask you fabulous ladies. TIA!!!)

Did you have any "pg symptoms" very very early in your pg? (Early as in bfp - 5weeks)

Exhaustion

Heightened sense of smell

dani2480 · January 2012

I tested positive at 3w3d (10 dpo), and up until that point I felt pretty sure that I was not pregnant.

Within a couple of days of testing positive (so roughly the time I would have missed my period) I started feeling really, really fatigued. My breasts also became really sore, and I was having some constipation, a few skin breakouts, and my hair suddenly got greasier (for a couple of weeks, and then it balanced out).

Pregnancy symptoms can really vary from woman to woman though, and they can also seem really similar to PMS symptoms (because many are caused by the same thing -- elevated levels of progesterone). Fingers crossed that this is your cycle!

obvious one: late AF

tired

ETA: Crossing my fingers and toes this is the sticky BFP this cycle.

Exhaustion

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

quesarah · January 2012

Abdominal/pelvic pressure and sore breasts were my two biggest ones.

Good luck!!

SJBride05 · January 2012

Sore breasts and "pin needle" cramps. These were my early symptoms with all three of my pregnancies.

BEST OF LUCK!!!

MsPurple24 · January 2012

Sore breasts were the very first, exhaustion soon to follow (including taking naps during the day, which was very rare).

Good luck!

I had sore breasts and what I later found out was implantation spotting early in my pregnancy.

Hope this is finally your good cycle!

With my first I was a super tester and started testing at 10 DPO. It may sound crazy but even prior to that I knew I was pregnant, in part because all of a sudden my nipples were on fire! Even taking off my bra it hurt, and hurt a lot to have a thin shirt touching them. I walked around for two days holding my shirt out and away from my body they were so sensitive. I also had some unusual feelings in my ute fairly early on (since I tested so early, positive at 11 DPO I already knew I was pregnant) maybe in the first 4-6 weeks where it felt like a strange combo between stretching and cramping. Almost like having a sports injury, you know how you get that odd feeling where you've got lactic acid build up plus that tired, overuse feeling (not quite a pull or tear but the muscle just seems to be pushing against itself and you've got that weird feeling from the lactic acid?).

Then with #2 I thought for sure that I was not pregnant because I didn't have any symptoms at all until around 6 weeks when I started getting food aversions and then all day sickness.

This kind of truck full of dust that your "symptoms" mean you are pregnant.

risysmama · January 2012

Exhaustion, hungry all.the.time w/ food aversions.

green*eyes · January 2012

I tested around 8 or 9 DPO and right around that time I woke up sweating during the night a couple of times. Also had the sore breasts and exhaustion, and sensitivity to smell (car exhaust smelled worse than usual). Plus I had a couple of hot flashes during the day and suddenly didn't want to eat chocolate.

periwinkleblue · January 2012

Main one was exhaustion. I also feel different in my lower abdomen (almost like when you're about to have your period, but more pressure).

love22 · January 2012

Fingers crossed for you

dizziness

extreme thirst

nausea

pinching cramps

and I felt hot - I get and pretty much stay hot when I'm pregnant. I think I literally bake my babies.

leolyns · January 2012

Sore boobs, gas, exhaustion. I thought I was going to have AF show up since these symptoms were similar to what I felt like right before AF. I tested at home 2 days before my 1st beta was drawn, 12dpIUI.

Fingers crossed for you!

StefandTodd · January 2012

Wishing you lots of luck and thinking great thoughts for you!!

vivemote · January 2012

Good luck! Fingers crossed.

I had a lot of 'phantom pregnancies' leading up to this one so I totally understand trying to analyze the symptoms. Honestly, my biggest and earliest one this time was a lot of creamy CM (sorry!). I tested at 10dpo and got a really faint line and we talked about it and realized how extremely emotional and tired I had been the last three days before that. Slightly sore breasts also. By the time I would have missed a period I was REALLY hungry!

ZoeMay06 · January 2012

I had a dull backache the week before AF was due. After my BFP, my first symptom was raging hunger. I'd practically get hungry again before fully finishing a meal. Sending you lots of dust!

pkw · January 2012

I got my positive at 10 dpo, and I was like Dani and was sure I was gonna get yet another negative at that point. It was not until weeks 5-6 that I began having a LOT of symptoms.

Week 5 I ended up being exhausted at all times and was taking naps every afternoon. My boobs hurt like heck from week 6 and my sense of smell was like nothing I'd ever imagined.

Bloating jumped in around week 7-8...then I started getting sick and it was all downhill for the next 10 weeks.

AutumnBug87 · January 2012

When I sneezed, it hurt bad! It felt like I had pulled something in my stomach. After that, I got twinges and pulls in my belly. Smile

I was 5 weeks.

Squishy622 · January 2012

I was super irritable and had heartburn, neither of which is typical for me. Also had a bunch of other classic symptoms but I had those during every other 2ww when we were TTC too. Those 2 were the only different/new ones.

ETA: Good luck!!!!

Celyn · January 2012

I was a charter, so I noticed a really obvious quite peculiar change in CM, something that only happens when I'm pregnant and only for a day to two. My OB thought I was crazy, but this quirky CM has shown up every time I was pregnant and only when I'm pregnant. Also, my nipples get sore right away and nursing became painful. I generally test early and had those signs before testing.

heatherbeanz · January 2012

Sore breasts. Extreme fatigue.

amyfelice · January 2012

I didn't really have any that I noticed but once I got the BFP I noticed I had been drinking more water and peeing more during the night, (thinking it was strange but not really associating it with pg) and also I had noticed a "spare tire" around my middle, but I just thought i was getting chunky, middle age spread, etc. Then I started to notice bloat mainly and that's all I remember early on. So not too much, really. No breast tenderness, no extreme fatigue, no nausea, we were pretty sure I was NOT pregnant until I missed my AF that month.

starlily313 · January 2012

Obvious sign: AF was late by 5 days.

Less obvious: sudden onset of a queasy stomach. Not in the morning & no puking, just an overall icky feeling.
