Early pregnancy symptoms

[~ Mylitta ~]

Hello all, I was just wondering how soon someone can start to experience pregnancy symptoms? Can you experience anything before implantation, or are there no changes until implantation occurs?

Thanks

Hi Krystie,

Most sources you will read will say that you can't have any symptoms before implanation because this is when your body will recognise the HCG being produced.

It is different for everyone. Many women don't experience anything until AF is late, some don't really have any identifiable symptoms until about 6 to 8 weeks - some later!

Some women are actually super sensitive and can get symptoms straight away. With my first pregnancy I was throwing up about 2 days after concieving. Majority of sources I have read say this is not possible. I did have one endocrinologist tell me that it is possible to have MS this early and my acupuncturist also said it was possible too.

So no real rules .

So do you think you have some early symptoms?

Thanks ticklish! This was our first month TTC, and it might just be wishful thinking because it's only 3DPO, but my breasts are really tender today and yesterday (mainly the nipple area). It might be coincidence, but I'm going to keep thinking positive thoughts

I used to get all kinds of pregnancy type symptoms in the third week of my cycle but they were always in my non pregnant cycles. The problem is that many pg symptoms are also O symptoms or pre AF symptoms so it's very difficult to work it all out.

With this pregnancy I noticed things start to change at around 3 weeks (so a week before AF was due) and I tested positive at 12DPO.

My first symptom was sore breasts about four days before AF was due.

I experienced my first symptoms early on. Just after implantation I had a teeny tiny amount of bleeding. I also experienced a bizarre pulling feeling in my tummy that woke me up in the middle of the night. A few weeks later I had a stomach ache and felt sick so I took a test! I saw one line appear.. then another! Very exciting moment.

Oh I wish I could take a test right now! The waiting is excrutiating (although it's the best kind of excruciating wait ever, lol). Thanks for all the help and advice!

Satya - can i please ask, when you tested positive at 12DPO, what brand HPT did you use?

In regards to symptoms, I think some women can get symptoms as soon as their body starts producing hcg, like Satya said, some women are sensitive to hcg straight away, others not.
When i was pregnant in Nov, I had symptoms from 7dpo which is when i must have implanted, & had sore, large BBs and cramps and nausea....
this time around, I feel the same way, quite a bit of nausea last 2-3 days and even now and my BBs hurt. rare for me to have this.... so i am this is my BFP cycle.... (sticky one!!)

Renstar - I used Lullaby conception tests and found them to be very reliable.
