early pregnancy symptoms - what were yours?

For those who have been pregnant multiple times, have you had consistent symptoms with each? If so, what were yours?

I know they often say that the progesterone or PMS can cause similar symptoms to pregnancy but for me, each and every pregnancy (both miscarriages and with DS), symptoms were the same.....a few days before AF was due, I got insanely hungry and eating non stop, more tired than usual....by 4-5 weeks, really tired and sore boobs and by 6 weeks, morning sickness.

Right before my period, I always get bloated, cramping, skin break out, etc. So by the time these started, I knew I was out this time.

DS #1: April 2010
DS #2: July 2015 (preemie born at 31 weeks) - our little miracle conceived through ART - unexplained secondary infertility/adenomyosis

    I've only been pregnant one time, but the only thing that was out of the ordinary was that my dog was practically up my ass for about a week before my bfp. He would not leave my side and had to be touching me every single moment I was in the house. Now every time he's extra cuddly I get my hopes up a bit (he only usually comes to see me when he's hungry or has to go out).

    Extreme fatigue...going to bed 2-3 hours earlier than normal, and craving fresh fruit, specifically cherries, which I didn't classify as a craving at the time.

    I've only been pregnant once before, and I had zero symptoms before my BFP.

    Today my breasts were a tiny bit tender and I was like ZOMG WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?? Haha. I know I won't know anything until it's time to POAS, but Google is so tempting...

    I have only been pregnant one time & no symptoms at all. I didn't have sore boobs my whole pregnancy (they are very small), no morning sickness, no cravings, nothing. I didn't "feel" any different until I started to show & feel the flutters.

    My History:
    Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
    Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
    Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
    Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
    Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
    About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!
    1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.

    If I could finally be pregnant & have a healthy baby, I would take the morning sickness this time!

    I have only been pregnant once but I had no symptoms prior to my BFP. I remember being very bloated a few days after I got the positive test. And my morning sickness started at 5 weeks so that was really my first big symptom. I agree with you @iheartsippycups2- I would take the horrible nausea again if it meant another baby.
