    What were your early symptoms?

    Hi everyone,
    I was just curious to know what everyones earliest pregnancy symptoms were and how many weeks were you when you noticed them?
    I've only been ttc for 2 cycles and as I have never had a regular cycle it's been hard to predict when i'm ovulating. I've been going off cm but still working out how the whole thing works. Never have I felt so in the dark about how my body works.
    For my first pregnancy we were just letting nature take it's course more and so I wasn't noticing anything but now that we are trying the waiting and trying to understand conception is agonising!
    I feel very tired but I always am with an 18mth old anyway, nauseous, and bloated. I also have a sort of ache in my lower tummy and sore boobs. When I was pregnant with Olive the only symptom I really noticed was feeling sick twice, one week apart like I had a tummy bug so i'm not sure.
    The first day of my last period was 1st April but my cycle can be anywhere up to 35 days. when should I test? I should probably wait until next weekend I guess.

    So anyway what and when your your earlist pg symptoms?
    TIA

    Hey Crystalwings!

    My first symptom was a dizzy spell followed by an implantation bleed for both my pregnancies. About a week later I had incredibly sore boobs. I tested at 3 weeks and it was BFN then at 3.5 weeks from my last period and got a BFP- I used a digital test so I didnt have to wonder if I was imagining a line on the test! I also had period like pain for weeks. So sometimes you can get a result from a home test quite early. A friend who had a young child said one of her first symptoms was being very tired....

    HTH and I hope your doesnt take too long.

    With my first 2, it wasn't til the missed period. With DS I had sore heavy boobs about a week before my period (af) was due. I did a test then & got a very faint positive. (Was about 7 - 10 dpo, about 3 weeks from last af)

    With my first pg, was not following ovulation or anything, just going with the flow. No symptoms (there probably were but I wasn't really looking for them) aside from the fact that I downed 3 chocolate milkshakes in a row and then a choc muffin Went to buy another milkshake, and the person I was with at the time said something along the lines of, 'are you sure you're not pregnant?' and I remembered af had been due like 3 days before...went home, took a test, was a faint but easy to see bfp. Second and third I noticed things like sore boobs, cramps and nausea at around 10 dpo onwards.

    with the current pg it was the INSANE tiredness. i remember that the day before (we were on a road trip) that i was able to drive for the solid 2 hours take a break, then back behind the wheel. then literally the day after (soooo 10 DPO) i couldnt even do 45 minutes and had to get DH to take over. i also had quite alot of creamy CM, when usually by that stage it would be more clear/sticky (sorry if TMI!).

    HTH! and goodluck!
