How soon did you get symptoms?

[AngelPants]

As the title says, how soon before a bfp (or bfn as it may be) did you get symptoms like nausea, sore boobs, that heavy feeling in your abdomen etc? Is the earliest you can poas 7 or 10 days? Im second guessing every twinge cos DH and i had an ahem accident the other day...

Different for different pregnancies. With DS1, within a couple of days of conception with a BFP at 8dpo. With DS2, I had symptoms 1-2dpo that disappeared and had BFNs until 11dpo.

With the mmc, I don't know how many days I was, but I had really sore bbs early on.

Ooooo AP! Fingers crossed babes! I got my first symptoms (nausea) at 8DPO but didn't get a faint BFP until 11 DPO

Good luck!! I'll be stalking!!

thanks girls, im thinking i may be being paranoid and over- analyzing everything and im not sure what i am hoping for yet, bfp or bfn. we are still in pre-ttc mode.
at 4dpo now and feeling sick, funny taste in my mouth, EXHAUSTED (fallen asleep on the couch 3times in 2 days...) and very heavy in the tummy. might just be AF symptoms raising her head early or anything really...

eta omg listen to me moaning!!!! either way what will be will be!

If you listen to what we are 'taught' in IVF 101 at 4dpo the embryo has not become a blastocyst yet. It will not implant and start creating HCG until 7dpo at the earliest. Usually not enough HCG will be produced to register a positive until 8-9dpo (although this is still early). So, technically, your body doesn't 'know' it's pregnant yet because, technically, it's not. Even if fertilization has occurred. That said, post ovulation your hormone levels (estrogen and progesterone) will rise causing side effects. If you are pregnant they will continue to rise and cause symptoms.

Good luck!

N2L that makes lots of sense i knew i was being a drama queen! now to bite my nails til 10DPO-ish....
that being said i know people who have "known" within hours but i guess thats not hormonal is it?

I started getting period-like cramps at around 7 DPO, which got increasingly bad every day. I also had a touch of nausea with the cramps, but when I ate, all went away. Tender boobs started 2 days before BFP

Oh and some weird fluttering sensations since ovulating!

that being said i know people who have "known" within hours but i guess thats not hormonal is it?

I assume it's hormones of some sort. I know within hours. Turning into a cranky biatch and having nasty heartburn for a couple of days after are a bit if a give away. Then it fades & I doubt myself, but turns out I was right.

It doesnt really make a difference though except for speculation and feeding POAS addiction you're either pregnant or you're not.

GL. Update when you start POASing so we can speculate with you

[lady_neon]

That's so strange Lions&Bears, I've always been skeptical of people who say that, I mean I guess you can't *know* for sure, but I suppose if you are really in tune with your body you do notice these things. I can't say I knew, though I felt 'funny', and in retrospect it is quite clear!

For my mc, I had really sore bbs. I'm not sure how many dpo I was as we weren't exactly TTC. It was about a week before my BFP so I'd say around 14dpo at a guess. With DS I had implantation spotting at 7 & 8dpo , sore bbs, and I felt a bit queasy the day before I got my BFP, at 11dpo.

Looks like sore boobies are usually the first symptom for me

[buffy1]

Exciting!

The only symptom that made me go 'hmmmmm' was irrational crying during a really bad movie. Then when I didn't start spotting, I tested and got a faint line at 10 DPO.

Sore boobs, ravenous appetite and then nausea didn't kick in til about 5-6 weeks.

Fingers crossed for you!

i was charting when we fell pregnant with DD, and we DTD on O date unknowingly, but i "knew" from about 4DPO (I got a BFP at 8DPO) i cant quite remember what my symptoms were, but i did have some, and i also just "felt" different, ITMS? it is possible

[AngelPants]

Glad it sounds like im not completely imagining things. Nausea has gotten worse and I woke up at 2:40 this morning with massive pain in the my belly, bad enough I had to get up and focus to breathe thru it. Only lasted maybe a minute but far out!

Maybe implantation Argh I'm terrible for feeding the speculation.

I noticed symptoms at about 5 dpo every time, and always the same...extremely erect and darker nipples then lower back ache, restless legs, emotional, cramps.

[AngelPants]

Ah that's what I forgot to say, I've had my claws out since Wednesday, majorly, i feel sorry for DH tho he hasnt been helping the situation!

OOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo AP! Looking promising! When will you be POAS??

[AngelPants]

i think i will try and hold off til at least 8dpo but realisticlly on day 7, and 8 and 9 and 10 lol!!

[AngelPants]

so i bought 1st response test today will POAS first thing tomorrow morning, the box says not to do it until 6days before AF tho... thats 29th so thats AGES away! i thought you could test earlier than that or are they just covering their bums? how soon will it pick up hCG?
