Did you have any symptoms of pregnancy before you tested?

[charlotteandwilbur]

I'm like 3 DPO and keep overanalyzing every little thing. This thread is not helping.

Last time I had sore boobs right around the time I got my BFP (8 or 9 DPO-- I may be insane.)

[osulori]

Nope. The only reason I tested was because we were having a party that night and I wanted to be sure I could drink, because I thought there was no way I was PG. Boy was I wrong.

For both pregnancies, my sense of smell was incredibly heightened. For DD, I was experiencing it but didn't put two and two together until I tested and then realized, "oh yeah, maybe that's why everything smelled so strong". With DS a few years later, my crazy sense if smell is what tipped me off and made me test.

Heartburn. OMG the heartburn. I had no idea I was pregnant until after googling heartburn and acid reflux. I stumbled across a page that listed pregnancy as one of the causes. I was so relieved because I kept saying, "Omg, I'm too young for this!" and "Omg, I'll never be able to eat anything I like ever again." I was so relieved to know that it was "only" for 9 months!

I was having dinner with H outside. He suggested oysters (we usually have some) and they sounded disgusting. Our waiter had a lazy eye and it was making me nauseous.

I ran a half marathon the next morning and finished 15 minutes slower than my previous worst time. Test was positive instantly.

This was the end of September and I hadn't had a period since April/May. My ob appt was October 11th and they dated me 6weeks and one day with twins.

Nausea and the let down feeling in my boobs.

[toesie]

From 9DPO, my boobs were sensitive and nipples got darker. Tested the morning 10DPO and it was positive.

I had really intensive middle/upper back pain the day before I tested and a few days after. It was weird.

And massive bloating and constipation.

Wait one hot second. Where have I been? Are you pregnant?!? Congrats!!

Loss of appetite. I thought I was getting sick because my first symptom of illness is loss of appetite, but then that progressed to full on food aversions within a week. One of my earliest symptoms was dizziness and hotflashes at work, coupled with really strong emotions. I don't think I've ever had a flash of hatred like I did one day at work. I had a similar flash a few hours before my water broke...

With all 3 pregnancies (including my miscarriage) I started burping constantly. It is a pregnancy symptom for me that lasts the entire time. I had no idea that was a pregnancy symptom but my husband noticed it with my first pregnancy and looked it up and encouraged me to test.

[bowies]

Really sore boobs. That isn't a normal PMS symptom for me so I was on pins and needles waiting until I could POAS. The sore boobs stuck around until the nausea kicked in at 6w.

Thanks, yes. I'm not very far along and mostly posting on the Got Pregnant board.

[Stingyshark]

No. We were TTC; I tested the day before my period was due. I didn't have any symptoms until I was 6-7wks, then I had super nose & constant nausea.

[Deleted]

Breasts hurt with #1 but not subsequent pg.s. For them, the main indicator was a sudden and extreme fatigue. Morning sickness didn't kick in until the middle of the sixth week.

[dragonfly08]

No symptoms at all other than AF being late, either time.

[WillabyWallabyWu]

My first pregnancy (miscarriage at 12 weeks) I was so sick and I had a super sensitive nose. I knew I was pg with DS because I could smell dog urine in our family room-this was about a week before my period was due. The dog has separation anxiety and she has accidents quite often, but I've only smelled the urine while pregnant. Nobody else could smell it, so I had a strong suspicion I was pregnant. My DH calls it my "spidey sense".

[brooklyn]

Feeling nauseous while drinking beer. Sore boobs. (J was a surprise)

[shortstax]

My boobs were soooooo sore.

[shekels1222]

With all three of my pregnancies I had boob soreness and pain before my bfp.

I usually do have boob soreness in the 2ww but in non pregnant cycles it starts maybe 2-3dpo. Pregnant cycles my boobs only start hurting late in my second week like 9-10dpo.

And I usually break out in my non pregnant 2ww. Pregnant 2ww I have clear skin.

My last pregnancy I wasn't as surprised I was pregnant than the previous 2 times. I had my symptoms pretty down pat.

That seems totally weird me things though.

[jenn248]

Other than a missed period, no.

[BaliHai]

None. I tested the day my period was due on a whim, since we hadn't even been trying. No idea what made me test, but there it was. My symptoms showed up about a week and a half later, at 5.5 weeks pregnant.

[shaynaatl]

None actually. That's why I was so surprised by the BFP. I actually had a lot of "symptoms" the month before, but that was a BFN.

[turtletop90]

I was super emotional over little things, and was really tired. It felt like I was getting a cold but didn't.

[krystee]

I just have headaches and occasional cramping so far., but it's extremely early.

[Blue Moon]

My perfectly clear skin went to complete shit in the TWW only when I was actually pregnant. At 35 weeks, it's still my only pg symptom.

[ginkgoleaf]

With DS, I had sore boobs. With my CP, and looking back at it, with DS, my dog started treating me differently. Following me into the bathroom, not leaving my side, giving me a look - lol. My dog was really the first sign both times, before even testing positive.
