How early did you experience morning sickness/other symptoms

[mactastic]

Hi all! Quick question for you all, since I have nowhere else to talk about this in my real life. How early on did you all begin experiencing pregnancy symptoms? We had sex last Saturday and Sunday (Jan 26/27), and ovulation day was the 30th. I started having vague feelings of nausea/constipation on the 30th, and they've hung around (on and off) since then.

My husband is convinced I'm bonkers and there's no way I could possibly have symptoms already, and all my googling pretty much affirms that. Is it possible these are just psychosomatic manifestations? Or did anyone feel "off" right away? I know all pregnancies are different and all, but until I can take a test, I just thought I'd see if anyone had anything similar! Thanks for humoring a (possibly) bonkers person, lol

Having TTC for 2 years before conceiving my first and for 15 months before conceiving second, I had a whole bunch of symptoms during each 2WW, which you would be in now. Most of them were psychosomatic and/or a side effect of normal hormonal changes in the luteal phase. I got typical pregnancy symptoms at about 6 weeks each time (sore boobs, tired, nausea typically started at 7 weeks).

I would say that this question is better suited for the Getting Pregnant board.

Oh, sorry! And thanks!

If it's too early to get a BFP, it's too early for pregnancy symptoms.  Unfortunately pregnancy symptoms and the normal PMS/luteal phase symptoms are really similar, which can be a mind fuck.  You're best off trying not to read too much into it.  The 2ww sucks that way.

This pregnancy I got a BFP on CD 29 / 12 DPO, so I was 4w1d pregnant based on LMP.  I started noticing morning sickness creeping in around 5-6 weeks, which was much earlier than with my first pregnancy.

All of my early pregnancy symptoms mirrored PMS exactly.

With both of my successful pregnancies, I didn't actually get morning sickness until closer to 9 weeks along. Actually, with this one, I had very light m/s that I could have attributed to nearly anything.

I had an inkling as I had a tiny bit of spotting and an above average amount of discharge, so I tested when I was just a few hours late at 10 dpo (that part was always very regular)

I dont think any of my other pregnancies had super early symptoms but I wasn't as in tune with my body then. The symptoms have definitely been different this time around in general though.

I was/am pretty in tune with my body since I practiced FAM for several months before TTC. I also practiced FAM years ago.

A few things were distinctly different for me. By day 7 I noticed how tired I was and how slow I moved (not usual for me and I was quite relaxed being on a vacation). I also was quite thirsty for juice/had a very dry mouth and I never drink juice. The most obvious sign for me was when I felt the implantation happen around day 9. The feeling truly stopped me in my tracks. When that happened I knew I was pregnant and should get a positive test in a few days. The only thing that mirrored my normal PMS symptoms was my irritability.

If you haven't already, I recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Super helpful for learning more about your body. I also read the trying for a baby board on reddit and learned a lot there.

My first symptom is always extreme fatigue, like falling asleep at 7 pm and can't possibly keep my eyes open another second. That usually happens a few days before I get a positive test, so still around 4 weeks.

I’m very in tune with my body when not on birth control. I can feel ovulation and can tell which cycles I conceived or not before the test comes out positive.
With all my positive pregnancies I’ve had breast tenderness before getting a positive. Morning sickness doesn’t happen for me till 7 to 8 weeks.
