what when how

[rainbowarrior]

what were your symptoms, how early did you test and how did you know you were pregnant if you tested before aunt flow arrived.. ive heard woman testing way before and getting positives..

i find it interesting how each womanis different .

hope that made sense haha

[TeniBear]

what were your symptoms,

None. In both my pregnancies I could've got about halfway through before even knowing I was pregnant. The whole way if they never kicked. Oh, aside from some food aversions/slight cravings

how early did you test

Around 14DPO with my son. I tested out of boredom but a dating ultrasound put me at five weeks a week later. Does that make sense?
I thought I was testing at 12DPO with my daughter, but again a dating ultrasound changed it a little. If that was completely accurate I tested on 14DPO.

and how did you know you were pregnant if you tested before aunt flow arrived.. ive heard woman testing way before and getting positives..

Both times, I got a positive urine test. I was about to say both were backed up with a blood test, but thinking back I can't remember having a blood test at all with DS... Maybe I did a little later? In any case I had an ultrasound with him at 5ish weeks and there was a definite baby in there

I didn't have much by the way of symptoms either, only a couple if oh so very subtle changes to taste in the week before AF was due (like basil suddenly tasted bitter and an apple tasted acidic). Plus I had what felt exactly like menstrual cramps. I tested with a hpt the day AF was due, came up positive. I only tested because I'd been TCCing for a long while so testing was part of my routine; I certainly didn't suspect I was pregnant.

I just took another test.. Yes I'm obsessing first one was fone this morning .. And it's incredibly lighter than the others still negative but alot lighter does this mean my hcg levels are rising lol

Rainbow, why don't you come join us in the TTC 1-6 months group? We can obsess over things together and not need a separate thread

what were your symptoms

Really sore breasts and sensitive nipples, loads of blue veins obvious too.

how early did you test and how did you know you were pregnant if you tested before aunt flow arrived.

With DD tested at 7DPO so CD 21, positive test at 8DPO or later the day of 7DPO, not quite sure. This time CD 27, which was 8DPO (ovulated later that month).

Good luck with your TTC journey

Oh forgot to mention the day AF was due/the day I tested I also got sore nipples and a few days later by boobs were so sore the aching muscles kept me awake at night.

My two pregnancies were extremely different. During my first pregnancy, I had severe morning sickness and could not swallow anything except for home made spaghetti. That was all I can eat for three months. If I eat other foods, I just throw up. Thus, I had to take vitamins to support my nutrition.

The second pregnancy was easier. I did not have morning sickness or food intolerance. Nothing changed on my appetite.

I had a test 3 days after a missed period on both pregnancy. Both gave me positive test right away
