Hello there I've never posted in here before... hope you dont mind, but I had a quick question. Do you have "pregnancy brain " and if so when did it start ? I'm still in my TWW but I keep forgetting minor stuff... where I put my phone.. where I took my sweater off at.. where's my glasses. And it seems I can't spell to save my life anymore. Just these past couple days. My period is due on the 3rd so let's see what happens. But I never forget things this much. Like ever lol. So the only thing I can come up with is 1. Pregnancy brain 2.Period symptom ? ( expect I've never heard of this so called symptom and it's never happened to me ) 3. Or lastly it might be ... ( just now I literally had a third possibly but I can't remember lmao! ) Anyway..... what's your thoughts ? I'm losing my mind !

I didnt ask if I was pregnant, my question was how early did your "pregnancy brain" start ( if your experienced it.). I am wondering if I'm pregnant. .. BUT I'm aware it's against the rules that's why I didn't actually ask. I just asked a harmless little question instead. But thank you for your answer, I appreciate it.

I've been a little more forgetful from time to time. I had no symptoms until after I was pregnant "enough" to turn a HPT. Maybe you just need a little more sleep or some caffeine?

A quick Google search says that pregnancy brain can be attributed to the huge surge in pregnancy hormones that impact brain functioning, sleep deprivation, and a lack of focus on everyday things due to a hyper-focus on baby-related things. If in fact you are experiencing "pregnancy brain" and it's actually because you are pregnant, just like any pregnancy "symptom", then you should be able to turn a positive pregnancy test. So, easy way to find out is just test.

I honestly don't remember when pregnancy brain began. But I did get it at some point during my first pregnancy, and it slowly morphed into baby brain after I gave birth. My brain has not been the same since before I got pregnant for the first time two Julys ago!
there isn't really a set time in pregnancy for symptoms to start or stop. i have no idea when exactly pregnancy brain started. what you're experiencing could be pregnancy brain i guess, but you could also just be being forgetful.
i agree with @ecwk & try getting extra sleep or caffeine.
I think pregnancy brain is from the extreem exhaustion. It's a lot of work making a human . But some people work more efficiently being fatigued than others. Like for me I had "prego brain" at the beginning of 5 weeks because I am one of those people that shuts down when I'm extremely fatigued or don't get the full 8 hours of sleep and I've always been that way .
I don't know when it started for me but it's definitely been at its worst this week (I'm 9w3d). Yesterday, I forgot my work laptop at home and had to go all the way back and get it. Then, I got to work, and realized I left it in my car! I forgot my lunch once this week too. It has been a spacey week for me.
