1st Trimester
Did you notice you were PG before a BFP?
I'm still TTC and I don't know what to expect between O and BFP. Usually when 2 weeks before AF I get immensely sore boobs and back pain. This month, nothing. Not even PMS or anything. I'm due on the 6th so we'll have to wait and see.
I have huge headache right now and am not really thinking straight but I wanted to know if you had any symptoms or lack of symptoms before BFP. I want to take something but I don't "just in case". 
TIA

Re: Did you notice you were PG before a BFP?
I had a pretty good idea. I was exhausted constantly, and my boobs got extra sore. I wasn't surprised when I got my BFP.
THIS! This is my first pregnancy and I just had a feeling. DH called It cause I was complaining about my boobs hurting for 2 weeks( usually its just a couple of days)
Nope. The month BEFORE I got pregnant, I was so sure that I was, but turns out I wasn't.
The month I ACTUALLY got pregnant, I had no idea until the positive test. I had complained/whined to DH the whole day before about not being pregnant yet and was taking cheapie Wonfo pregnancy tests while waiting for AF to arrive. Then BFP!
This is a lot to read, but I would have appreciated it when I was making myself psycho. If you have a bazillion minutes to waste, enjoy!
3 weeks before BFP: Oddly sensitive & bitchy, strange twinges or "pinchy" cramps that were oddly timed (after ovulation cramps but way too early for period cramps), diarrhea, and so tired I could have died... I slept the entire weekend.
2-2.5 weeks before BFP: Still exhausted, nauseous 3 mornings in a row while driving to work (but not enough to barf), couldn't eat my beloved turkey & bacon subway sandwich because the bacon made me want to ralph, a few days of the most horrendous gas (burping & tooting - enough to kill a village), and did I mention tired? At around 2.5 weeks before BFP I had a lot of clear discharge for 3 days. Also, I didn't really feel like myself AT ALL (up down, happy sad, laugh cry...). I was a basketcase at dinner with my husband and we were both aware that I was acting NUTS. For example, I couldn't decide where to go for dinner but when he suggested a place I got upset. I couldn't decide what to order and when he wouldn't give me his opinion I got upset, and when he did I got upset at that as well. After dinner, he told the waiter we didn't want a dessert menu without asking me. I thought it was so inconsiderate that he didn't think to even ask me before responding and got upset (he has been doing this for 4 years, so why get upset now?). He finally looked at me and said, "oh my god what the hell is wrong with you?" to which laughed/cried back, "I DON'T KNOW!" Then we got Dairy Queen. My mom and my two friends said they never had gas issues with pregnancy and that it must be something I'm eating (trust me, I have NEVER had issues like this!). Also my sister told me that my symptoms were probably "all mental" when I told her I wanted to wait to order my bridesmaid dress, so I cried for two days over that.
1.5-2 weeks before BFP: All nausea disappeared, bacon was fair game, BFN after BFN (I single-handedly kept the manufacturers of First Response in business this month). I obviously wasn't pregnant and I decided I was completely psycho and overly eager
I cut myself off from buying tests haha. Started getting period cramps. I got really sad & embarrassed that my
sister was right and it was all mental (....still not rational behavior, I might
point out).
BFP: Took a test just to justify me having a margarita. It was negative, so I had a margarita with dinner. When we came back, my husband told me that leaving a pee stick on the guest bathroom counter was horrific (oops), and when I went to throw it away I saw a very faint positive. This was 3 hours after I took it, so I spent the night crying irrationally about the margarita, didn't sleep, and when the morning finally came, an instant faint positive! Within the next 7 days, my boobs began hurting terribly, they got large, my nipples are almost always hard (???), the strange cramping continued, and the BURPING is awful! I am so bloated and feel so fat. Near the end of the first week I became very excited, which was a relief because I was feeling a bit...uh... strange about the whole thing at first. I don't know how to explain it, but I knew I should have been excited and I just wasn't quite there. Now when I look back I think..........DUH.
So, now I can tell my sister "nanananananana, it wasn't mental." By the way, if anyone hasn't told you, I recommend the pink preg tests, not the blue. The pink was as bright as can be and the blue were pathetic. Hope this helps, and good luck
