What were your earliest pregnancy symptoms?

Alaskarose86 · June 2012

I'm waiting till I'm at least a week late to take a test (I'm 3 days late right now) so far I have had
- increased cervical dishcharge
- feeling very tired
- slightly nauseous
- some headaches
- aversion to olives (which I usually LOVE)
- happy then sad
- gurgly tummy
- both constipation and diarrhea (sorry if TMI!!)

But no sore breasts and only frequent urination probably because I am drinking so much water!

Btw 26yo female and had a misfire with "pull out" method with my long term partner, right near when I should've been ovulating

Thoughts?1 second ago - 4 days left to answer.

If you are late, a test should be accurate. Those can all be PMS symptoms and it's probably too early for all those to be pregnancy symptoms.

Sore boobs and increased peeing. I tested + at 15DPO

sbevmc09 · June 2012

My early pregnancy symptoms were cramps/lower back pain and breast tenderness that was pretty much it (and obviously those are consistent with AF's arrival too).

If I were you I'd just go ahead and test now since you're late and you have reason to believe you might be PG. Unless you might not be late (because your periods tend to vary or something), then wait a few days if you want

Sore breast for me. I was trying to run at the gym and I was like o my goodness this is not normal! I realized a few weeks later why it was so painful!

You should go ahead and take a pregnancy test to see Smile

I took a test when I was only a day late, only symptom was tender breasts and it was positive. I'm 6 weeks along and i've only had tender breasts, tired all the time and always hungry Sleep

JenScott-4-09 · June 2012

I realized I didn't answer your question... my first and only symptom was sharp pain in my boobs. Other than that, I just felt like AF was knocking at my door.

You should just take a test. It should be accurate by now and you will just drive yourself crazy with every little symptom!

You should definitely take a test.

I had extreme tiredness, sore breasts, and strange morning insomnia.

This.

To answer your question, I had brownish discharge and cramps. I just assumed my period was on its way, and I only took a test because I wanted to drink guilt-free that night; I was pretty surprised when it was positive!

This exactly.

My early symptoms included light cramping when usually I had very bad PMS cramps, sore boobs, and TMI alert...out of control diarrhea after drinking about a bottle of wine, which to be honest was a small amount of alcohol for me.

Also, the increased urination wouldn't come until a few weeks later anyways because that's caused by your uterus growing and pressing on the bladder. At this point, your uterus should be about the normal size.

CupcakeKaper · June 2012

Every month while I was TTC I had all of those symptoms...and wasn't pregnant. Now that I got my BFP on Monday, I have not a single symptom...other than several positive tests. I wouldn't read too much into them, only a test can tell you if you're pregnant. If those truly are symptoms, and you are already late, a test would confirm it. Otherwise, it could just as easily be PMS. Please just take a test!

I had frequent urination even before I knew I was pregnant, around 5th week, and sore breast.

hansonam446 · June 2012

Sore boobs/nipples, dizzy spells, nausea, and waking up early on the weekends.

brandyleighxx · June 2012

Very tender breasts, slight nausea, groin pain, & constipation. This was all before my 5th week of pregnancy, even before I got the BFP.

Icecream4me · June 2012

For all the times in my life when I thought I was pregnant and felt symptoms, when I actually was pregnant - I had almost none. I had cramps, but thought they were because period was coming. I'm in week 5 and have basically only had soreness (breasts) and mild cramping. I tested positive the 2nd day after my missed period (had tested negative in an early test that I took 2 before expected period).

MrsBigTime · June 2012

I didn't get my period. Then I realized I had to pee all.the.freaking.time.

HCG is actually a diuretic, so before your uterus begins to put pressure on your bladder (especially in the beginning when your uterus hasn't had time to grow yet), frequent urination is often from that. And also because your body starts to produce more blood in order to meet the demands of the new little person you are forming, therefore making your kidneys process more fluid.

hsweetman · June 2012

i would test if I were you

my symptoms were nausea, tiredness and increased urination

bingo519 · June 2012

I agree, I would test, end the mystery.

My first symptoms were headaches (super out of the ordinary for me) and sore breasts.

Bride-hilda · June 2012

My dead give away was breast tenderness because usually my girls are a lot tougher. That plus slight nausea, (it's still only slight,) MAJOR mood swings, (duck and cover!) vibrating tummy, (is that weird?) and little burps that happen ALL THE TIME!

Sometimes I feel that I urinate only because I've been drinking more, but after getting out of bed seven times last night to pee... I'm starting to think it's one of my new symptoms.

I actually took a test four days before my missed period and got a positive result. I have a pretty good "mom radar," so far. I can kind of feel when I'm pregnant. Your subconscious HAS to know you're pregnant, because your body does, so a part of you knows it. That makes sense, right?

AquaFlowers · June 2012

Nausea and backache.

mandask4 · June 2012

I knew I was prego when i never get up to pee during the night, and I was up at least 4 times. That and emotions, and sore boobs and heartburn, all before i tested positive.

this decaf life · June 2012

If you buy a FRER the results would be accurate by now so I definitely suggest testing.

I had zero symptoms before my BFP so IMO symptoms alone don't mean much.

PeonyPumps · June 2012

Sore breasts were my first sign with both pregnancies.

martha919 · June 2012

My sore boobs started only about two days after I ovulated, which is REALLY early for me, so that was my first clue. Then the week before I was supposed to get my period I was taking naps all the time and wishing I could fall asleep at my desk at work and I thought to myself, "If I'm not pregnant, there is something seriously wrong with me!" Once my period was a few days late, combined with my sore boobs, exhaustion, and more intense irritability than my usual PMS, I announced to my hubby that I was going to take the test. He responded that he could "just tell" that I was pregnant, and I had been feeling like I was anyway. Then, BFP.

ASailorsWifey · June 2012

Very upset stomach for about a month, missed period (4 days late), sore boobs, wanting queso and chips, tired and taking 4 hour naps and still going to bed at 8:30pm
