The Big Thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms

[insomnimama]

In keeping with Yaya's original suggestion, I am hoping that all those who have had a recent can post on this thread (meaning we don't have a bunch of individual threads but rather one big thread that folks in the 2ww can check out). Ex: "Ah, I see 3 out of 5 posters ate cream cakes..."

I'll go first cutting & pasting from my journal, but am really hoping that other folks can cut & paste their info onto this thread as well to have it all in one place.

So symptoms, aka "why did I test when my temps were generally lowish and had actually dropped a little that morning and also I had expressedly said that I wouldn't, ahem)

1. Just a "feeling" (yes, you may throw things at me now)
2. A little more CM than usual (though nothing like my first pg)
3. Nice full bbs (welcome back, ladies, how I have missed you)
4. Mid-day naps that could not be avoided: total body shut-down, awaking with pillow lines on face & drool on mattress (these came on much later in my first pg)
5. Two giant whiteheads on my chin (noticed CD11 after taking test & staring into mirror in disbelief)
6. Funny CP- sort of low but also anterior, or something, i.e. where I would usually be able to feel the opening I could only feel the tip (again, only noticed after testing)
7. Ridiculous mood swings (see post CD9 as example)

Other than that, truth be told I feel like I may get my period at any moment, which apart from being exactly what I felt last time, is also exactly what I feel this time of the month every month.

When I was pregnant the symptoms I had were.
1)Wasn't able to get drunk on my honeymoon just wasnt in the mood for alcohol and even when I drank I didn't get drunk
2) Extreme tiredness (I noticed it after HPT came back +)
3) metalic taste in my mouth

With no.1 I had these symptoms:

1. Cuppa tea made me gag
2. Reading thru a menu in my fave restaurant I just could not find anything I fancied eating
3. Big gush of watery cm. Thought I'd peed my pants!
4. Boobs grew overnight
5. Two spots of brown blood I guess it was implantation spotting
6. Sugar craving - ate tonnes of chocolate but i don't normally
7. Completely lost my temper with best friend - shouted at her then burst into tears

The first week after ovulation I had metallic taste in mouth and a little bit of yellow discharge. The second week I didn't have any symptoms--except for being really, really cold...which I still am--with intermittent 1 minute long hot flashes!

Sounds odd but I had very, very dry lips. I have had to use tonnes of lipbalm, something I never use!!! Other than that the usual sore boobs, cramps, spotting, extreme tiredness.
