    How Early?

    How early can you start to feel the symptoms of pregnancy???
    I feel like I am going crazy. Maybe I'm imagining all of them. Maybe my brain is playing tricks on me cause I want to be pregnant and we aren't trying atm...
    Gar...
    So how early can you get symptoms?
    And also how likely is it that I am having symptoms but am not pregnant?

    Where are you in your cycle? Pre-menstural, it may well be in your head. If you're late, do a pregnancy test.

    Oddly enough, I had this pre-TTC. Then the cycle I did fall pregnant, no signs whatsoever: the only reason my breasts were tender was because I was constantly hitting them to see if they were tender LOL.

    Sorry, that might not be very helpful. But the mind can play funny tricks sometimes.

    Best of luck to you.

    it really depends on your sensitivity to pg hormones - and everyone is different - i knew from 8dpo that this cycle had worked - i just knew - i was feeling ill, really tired, and i tested to get a positive. but i've been through a lot of stuff with ivf and assisted conception, so i have learnt my bodies response to hormones over a long period and just knew when something was different.

    for most people, it's after AF is due, as most early pg symptoms are very much like pre-menstrual symptoms.

    good luck (if you're ttc!)

    My positive blood test came back at 3.5weeks. The only symptoms I can definately say I had were sore BB's. They started sore like AF was coming but then the soreness spread and now even my nipples are sore (ouch) and just being tired and finding it hard to stay up past 8.30pm for the last week. My DP says I'm always tired after work but it wasn't the same. I can only explain it as being really, really tired instead of just tired.

    Hope this helps.

    I guess it depends on how in tune you are to your body. I knew I was pregnant with Niki the week after we conceived I noticed my nipples at the base were going darker and I just had this feeling that I was.
    Still for all the hoping I didn't say anything to anyone until i got that all important bfp.

    Hoping you are correct in your feeling and sending you lots of sticky vibes.

    Well, I'm not really 100% sure where I am in my cycle. I had a baby girl in May and have been having wacked out cycles since 5 weeks post partum.
    There are 2 times this month where I think I could've ovulated... (my signs are so not reliable atm). The first 1 would make my period due in a couple of days, the last would make it due in about 9 - 10 days.
    I can't rememeber how early last time I felt sick and tired. I know it was early (like less than 5 weeks pregnant).
    I really want to know. But I know that a pregnancy test is not going to detect any hormones if they are there.
    Ah... the next week is going to be HELL!
