With DS, my breasts became super sensitive, I took a test and it was positive. It was actually the day before my period was due. I had feelings of nausea at about 6 weeks or so.
We are TTC #2, and I randomly had 2 episodes of the exact feeling of nausea/wooziness I felt with DS the last 2 nights and for some reason have developed a lot of muscle soreness/joint soreness all over my body. No illness other than I had strep throat 2 weeks ago. Anyone have muscle soreness as a sign of early pregnancy?
My period isn't due until wednesday so I'm holding off on taking a test as best I can, LOL.
I was constipated, lol. I didn't put two and two together though. I started feeling very, um, uncomfortable for several days and then I tested and was like "ohhhh that explains it." With my first pregnancy I had bad constipation all first tri so it felt familiar haha.

Nothing different than normal pms stuff. I was 3 days late and took a test thinking no way it would be positive even though we'd been trying for almost a year. I definitely had and still have very sore boobs but I had that as part of pms.

Yes, but I only realized they were pregnancy symptoms in hindsight because we weren't TTC and I only tested due to a missed period. But two things really made me say "duh!" after my BFP:
1) One random day during what would've been the 2ww, I hit my boob somehow (maybe I was swinging my arm or something) and I almost yelped from the pain.
2) One night, also during the 2ww, I woke up in the middle of the night to go pee. I never ever ever do this. I don't remember what I chalked it up to, if anything.
With my first I didn't recognize anything until after I tested. I was clumsy and forgetful and light headed. With my second pregnancy I only tested because I almost fell in the shower. I wasn't late or anything but just had that same "off" feeling.
It was pretty much the same story with #3. I missed the trash can from inches 3 times in a row. I looked in at my husband and said "if I had been at the OB yesterday I'd be peeing on a stick." The next morning I called him at work to tell him I peed on a stick.
I had what I thought was implantation cramping , but that was it. I was on a bunch of hormones, so everything else I felt could be explained away as side effects of those.
None this time. This time I tested on 13 dpo because I'm a compulsive tester and got a negative and then I tested at 15 dpo when my period was actually late and got a positive. I has no typical early pregnancy symptoms this pregnancy-no super nose, no tender breasts, etc. Nothing that didn't feel like PMS.
With DD, I tested because my period was a little late and my breasts felt like bowling balls. I thought it was all related to the surgery I had 7 dpo, but it definitely wasn't.
I went for a run in 30 degree weather, as I had been all winter, and my nipples turned purple and ached. I also had to stop and walk three times. I wasn't in amazing shape, but I could usually run the whole time through...

The first time we weren't TTC (ended in miscarriage), the day my period was due I gagged brushing my teeth. Then I started to make eggs and got super queasy. I tested that afternoon and it was positive. The second time, no but I tested at 10DPO.

Eh, maybe? I was counting down the days to 14dpo both times, which is when I wanted to test, so I think maybe I imagined some symptoms between 7 and 14dpo.

With DS, I started having symptoms at 8 DPO. I was soooo tired and slept a ton the 2-3 days before I tested. I also threw up after drinking 2 beers over the course of the evening, which shouldn't have been nearly enough to make me sick.
With DD, I didn't have any symptoms until about 6 weeks.

I had weird implantation bleeding with both pregnancies. With the first, I assumed it was my period until my nipples started leaking a few drops and I knew for sure I was pregnant, by then I was 8 weeks but didn't realize it. This time, I tested way too early for any other symptoms to show up lol.

I didn't realize this until after I tested but I had foot cramps for a few days leading up to getting a bfp. I read afterwards that this could be a sign. Other than that and a late period, I had no other symptoms.
Both times I've been nauseous a few days before my BFP. That's my major first tri symptom. I'm currently hiding upstairs while the chicken roasts b/c the smell is making me nauseous. I hope I can eat it!

My boobs were really sore, and I had massive heartburn. The boob pain lasted all of first tri, and the heartburn didnt go away until the day DD was born.
DS1: Nose bleeds. And I called DH sobbing one day because I was lost and huuuunnngry! So unlike me. Pregnancy 2 (missed m/c): A couple of food aversions that were unusual for me and lots of dizziness. DS2: None at all. I only tested because I thought it was odd that my period was a few days late. DS3: Uh, tingly nipples (sorry, TMI). It felt like my milk was letting down from about 7dpo on. I kept telling DH, "there is something wrong with my boobs."
I had bad "pulling" type cramps starting from 13 dpo (charted). And I also had shortness of breath that started at 14 dpo and peristed all throughout pregnancy. I remember walking up a long flight of stairs with DH and being unable to catch my breath at the top. I'm a runner so it was really unusual for me. Tested the next day and got a BFP.
I went for a run at 8 dpo, and my boobs were SO sore that I had to stop a few times. They never hurt before my period. I came home and told DH that I would be shocked if I wasn't pregnant that cycle.
