The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

Any other pg symptoms I've had have come after missed af - and range from really creamy CM, feeling really sick all the time without actually throwing up, nipples getting bigger and darker and sometimes feeling really heavy down in my womb area. Main one for me has been peeing about 10 times a day! Sickness didn't kick in until after week 6.

...So don't wanna get people's hopes up unnecessarily, but there really is sometimes very little to go on in the very early days.

Lots of love and baby dust to all reading this!

Hi Lucy Lu well theres hope for me then because like you very emotional, slightly sore boobs and peeing for England! Although I am going around 20 times or more and thats just at work in the daytime, I am also getting up in the night etc and early morning, this mixed with vivid dreams (I can still see my dream last night) and I need to have ketchup with everything even my lunch sandwich! Too scared to test as had 2 weeks ago with doc I am now scared to do it!

Luv to all and lots of baby dust x x x x

The things that were different this month:

1) i DIDN'T get sore nipples right after ovulation, which i usually do
2) i DIDN'T get a ton of white creamy cm right after ovulation, which i usually do
3) all month my temps were a lot higher than usual - chart wasn't triphasic, just high
4) around 7 or 8 dpo i started getting dizzy. this was my first real sign. never that had before.
5) sore nipples/armpits started around 10 dpo. usually that's when they go away, not start.
6) night after 11 dpo, REALLY PAINFUL af cramps woke me up out of sleep. i wasn't due for af for 4 more days and i never get af cramps early. they lasted about 30 minutes and were awful.

that's about it! i'd say the dizziness and the early, middle-of-the-night cramps were the biggest give aways...

btw...i got my bfp 12 dpo...

good luck and baby dust!!!

I think my mind might just be playing a great practical joke as I have yet to see that, and is due in 4 days, but I have completely lost my sweet tooth. For me, I'm a daily sweets addict. Chocolate tastes funny to me.

I was out grocery shopping today, and all I wanted was... sauerkraut. Yes, much to my hubby's disgust, I brought it home and started eating it out the jar. I think I even grossed myself out on this one...

No for me as yet but can't stop eating cheese with ketchup and dreaming of babies!! This along with every other blooming symptom ime getting so stressed x x

oh mu god sore lips CHECK

above thread CHECK lol

I always feel silly when I do this but here it goes.....the beginning of this month I got fed up with charting and just stopped. I knew about when I was going to ovulate because it was a date already stuck in my head. Anyway....we bd'd A LOT. Now here I am the day before my is due...and I feel really really sick! I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open and on Saturday night which would be about 7dpo I got one sided cramps and when I went to the loo I saw 2 blood flakes lol never knew what they were till I saw them! But I have to say I feel exactly like I did when I ws pregnant last time and I am trying really hard to not get excited about it but would be very surprised if I wasn't pregnant right now. I also have to pee like every freaking 5 minutes. No reall bb changes except that they feel heavy and seem to be a little bigger......so we shall see tomorrow! hope the witch stays far far away.

Aahhh I feel much better now for getting it all out lol good luck everyone!

With my first pregnancy (7yrs ago) I couldn't eat apples or egg whites. 2nd trimester I had a full feeling constantly and I was always in the bathroom, then later on all food I ate, tasted like soomeone dumped pepper on everything.

just wanted to Bump!

I hate to be a spoiler of symptom-spotting, but really, this month I had fewer 'symptoms' than some of the other non-pregnant months! I've heard that from other women, too, so it might just be one of those funny things for some of us!

Cd11 was my first day of any 'symptoms', and all that I felt was some fatigue (but I had been travelling that day, so it may have just been from that) and tender boobs. I decided to test on cd12 and got my No additional symptoms until CD15 when I started needing to pee more often (especially around 4-5 a.m.!).

So, my only symptoms have been the need to pee in the middle of the night, fatigue (which is probably related to the middle of the night bathroom trips!), sore boobs, and some bloating. HTH!

my symptoms!! Apart from the obviouse sickness i was getting i had the strongest sence of smell, i remember when i was pregnant with my youngest i would walk into the kitchen dining rm where are dogs slept too and i would gag cos all i could smell was dog i was awful, and the strangest symtom i get EVERY time i am pregnant is..........dont know if i should share as not normal i dont think...i smell of onion down below.. so strange as i dont even eat them that often ever!!
