I didn't get anything til about 6 weeks all 3 times and similar to Jen, I just kinda knew, and I was sooooooooo tired!! Nausea came a bit later on for me!!
This time around, killer sore boobies. I don't have sensitive boobs usually so I tested a day before AF was due and there was the second line STRONGER than the control line.
With my 2 angels, I had no symptoms, just a late period so did a HPT.
With DS, I was charting and my temp was staying consistently high, but not physical signs. I tested with a HPT a day late and got my BFP.
With my last I had nausea before AF was due and was gagging when brushing my teeth especially. But I already knew for sure I was pregnant by then as I tested at 10DPO and it was a faint BFP. With my ectopic bub I suspected big time at only 1-3DPO because the sight of my nephews green snot make me spew and usually that wouldn't bother me. The times I have suspected I was pregnant before I have POAS were the times I didn't make it out of the 1st trimester. My 3 children I had no idea I was expecting until after I had a positive result. Goodluck when you test
horrible, painfrul heartburn that started at what would have been about 10 DPO...it didn't even occur to me that I was UTD...I did a POAS about a week later by chance and it was positive mild morning sickness started a few weeks later
Mine was a single wave of nausea that came and went very quickly very early, but I didn't put two and two together till later (and it may have been coincidence). I like to think the first sign I had was a dream the morning I got my BFP. I was charting my cycle, and at 12dpo I dreamt that I woke up, took my temp and got a 37.7, then POAS and got a BFP. When I woke up, my temp was in fact 37.7 and I did get a BFP! It was quite special.
I got a little out of breath after my usual power-walk into work (3km mostly uphill).
Needing a nap before dinner once or twice.
That's about it. I put the breast soreness down to my constantly hitting them to see if they were more sensitive or not. When I stopped hitting, they stopped hurting.
Oh yeah, and seeing the kicks making little 1" high hills in my stomach was a bit of a giveaway. But that was quite a way in.
Waking up tired, even after a good 9 hours sleep. And at work I could smell EVERYBODY'S perfume/cologne even when I would be out the back of the store! And at that stage I didn't even know I was PG. It was about a week after AF finished (yes, I got AF when I was PG. That's why I had no idea)
Because we did IVF I was looking for symptoms....but every time i got a BFP I had this weird feeling. It felt like a when your eye twitches involuntary and was locacated at the front down quite low where I assume my uterus is.....It was really weird but very distinct. I have had 4 BFP's within 8 months and every time felt the same 'twinge' - weird and freaky!
But as far as conventional symptoms with DD it was sense of smell but I didn't recognise it as a symptom (I told DH his dinner smelt like 'poo'). With the first two IVF BFP's I just knew. I felt weird and it was a really weird tingly feel in my boobs....from about 8DPO. With the last two BFP's (including the one Im preg with now) I would have sworn I was NOT pregnant as there was not a single sign except missing AF.
With my boy - I had the flu lol and I didn't get the usual bleed from the sugar pills while on The Pill lol
With my girl - It was the day after my birthday and I didn't feel like AF was going to come, DH bought me a test as a birthday present and it was positive lol
With this one - at 3wks 1d fried eggs made me feel sick! I love fried eggs... except when I'm pregnant ROFL that's the only time I can't stand them. Next day I got a faint BFP, and it got stronger the next day
With DS my first symptom was banana cake craving at 6am! Then realising that i had a metallic taste in my mouth and my period was late.
With my second pregnancy I was charting, so my high temp gave it away....followed by sore nipples when bfing my son and i could smell everything (including stinky bins and mould around our sink!!).
With third pregnancy my obsessive desire to rearrange my house and leg cramps.
With this pregnancy my extreme tiredness, increased sense of smell & my bloated tummy and feeling full all the time (and i'm only 3weeks 5 days and i've suspected for about 4 days now! and today when i tested i'm only 12DPO)

I just found this thread as I'm having a sudden freak out about maybe being UTD. Not that it would be a bad thing, it's just not at all in our plans for now. I had decided that 2012 was going to be about getting more ahead with our finances and me getting fit and healthy (currently 12 kilo's lost, 20 to go)
DH and I have only used condoms since DS was born. But we do make sure we're very careful and use then correctly. I know for sure though that we DTD during O time this cycle. If I were preg I'd only be 8DPO but today I've had lower back ache, cramping and also achey legs. I've also been dashing to the toilet more than usual. I know the chances would be slim, I mean how many people realistically fall preg when using condoms. But now the seed is planted in my head and I'm so tempted to buy a FR on my way home and test in the morning (I got a feint BFP with DS at 9DPO last preg).
EEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!
