what were your first pregnancy symptoms

southbride · April 2012

I had my IUI last Friday and I know its too soon for symptoms but I have moments when when I go from comfortable to burning up and certain foods and smells have me gagging and very sore boobs. Its probably just my imagination or the progesterone but what were your very first symptoms. I go for my beta Wednesday.

I was on progesterone which made my boobs sore until I was taken off it. Once I was off it at 7 weeks, I had no symptoms. I gagged once at about 10 weeks and that was that.

Excess saliva. Seriously.

With DS1 my sense of smell went crazy. I could smell a trash truck miles away. With DS2 I started feeling nauseous right away. Good luck!

Metallic taste in my mouth. That definitely showed up around 5DPO.

My symptoms with my son were slim to none. I was sure the cycle was a bust because I felt more "symptoms" other cycles which turned out to be BFN's. I remember being super thirsty and having sore boobs but the sore boobs were always an indication that AF was on her way so I didn't think much of it.

I'm also in my 2WW from an IUI for kid #2 and although I'm only 2dpiui (this is going to be a looooong 2 weeks!), I feel squat, nada, zilch. Unfortunately, I have a very strong feeling that this isn't going to work but I guess time will tell.

Good luck to ya!

Sore boobs and crazy breakouts

KayJayDee · April 2012

First time around - sore boobs, excessively thirsty around 10dpiui, and a random nap (very unusual for me at the time) around 12dpiui.

This time around - nothing. I didn't think it had worked and was testing just to get it over with. Quite surprised. Nausea started around 5-6 weeks.

Both times I was on progesterone.

Good luck!

The two times I have been pregnant I had lower back pain at around 9-10dpo. (1st PG was a chemical)

ETA I was also on progresterone both PG's

laura1 · April 2012

All 4 times, the biggest symptom was the cramping - a week before AF was due, I felt like it was coming super early because I had bad cramps. This pg (unlike the previous 3 times - DS, DD, and a m/c) I had sore boobs. All except for my pg with DD, I was bloated and noticed bigger boobs - but DS was only 7 months old when I got pg with DD, so I may not have noticed bloating, and I had just weaned from BFing, so I wouldn't have noticed bigger boobs.

Good luck!

Exhaustion. And meat made me gag almost immediately. My boobs hurt, but I was on progesterone.

I had a very strong sense of smell and normal PMS type symptoms- sore boobs and back. I also had a little spotting the day of my positive beta.

BeccaLandes · April 2012

my pregnancy with the boys, the only symptom i had was that i was peeing a lot and my boobs were huge.

this pregnancy- i had cramping, but that wasn't until i would have had my period. i knew it wasn't PMS because i never get cramps when i get my period. my boobs are still small, not sore at all. i also had a brief bout of nausea about 6 days after conception and i wondered what it was about, but dismissed it at the time.

I was 10piui when I couldn't stand the smell of the shrimp I was cooking and couldn't eat it for dinner. SUPER sensitive sense of smell was the #1 symptom for me.

I didn't havea single clue I was pregnant. Honestly,had went done IVF, I wouldn't have thought I was pregnant or tested.. I have severe pcos, soon period isn't alarming to me

Thanks to everyone who posted. And good luck to everyone else in the 2ww may the time pass quickly and we all get good news.

My ultrasound! I never had symptoms until a few months in and they were very mild. I know that doesn't help but good luck!!
