How early did you feel your first symptom?

Not sure if this is in the right section, apologies if it's not...

I am wondering in people's experiences about how early in their pregnancy they felt their first symptom?

We have just started TTC #2 and I can't remember how these things are supposed to work, too long ago for me :D I have a vague recollection of having a metallic taste in my mouth when it was still too early to test.

So how did it work for you? Did you start noticing things straight after ovulation/conception? After you tested? Or some time after that?

I am only a matter of days past ovulation and I have a metallic taste in my mouth, and my boobs are kind of sore (sorry if TMI)... trying to get it all in perspective as its quite possibly all in my head, and I don't want to get my hopes up so soon!

In my two pregnancies, I had symptoms within 3-4 days. Different symptoms for the different pregnancies. My DH can usually tell by looking at me within a few days. Just because I have symptoms though, it doesn't mean I "believe" I'm pregnant though.

I didn't test early with the m/c pregnancy. It had a faint positive late at night on 8DPO for the 2nd pregnancy.

My very first symptom was crushing tiredness... I remember saying to my boss that I was going to have to go to the doctor, there must be something wrong with me.

I got a BFP when I was 3days late.. so about 16 - 17 dpo?... but the tiredness had been there for a week, easy.

That was about the ONLY symptom I had in my first trimester, too.

Sore boobs- and bigger. Thats always my first symptom, by five weeks ive completely gone up a size (from a 10B to a 10C).

No symptoms at all for me. I had more potential symptoms in all the other months I wasn't pregnant. First symptom was a positive HPT at 12DPO. Morning sickness then came on at 6 weeks.

2-3 DPO i had cramping. Then i started to feel really tired, dizzy and really emotional. My sense of smell heightened a lot and i could smell everything! Bad BO, smokers breath.. it was awful! Morning sickness hit around 5 weeks and with that i was tired all the time. When i wasnt at work i was in bed. i would sleep for 16-18 hours every day.

Tiredness, REALLY sore boobs and sensitive nipples, plus an overwhelming urge to eat everything and anything not nailed down. I remember crying hysterically to DH while he was in the shower that I couldn't stop eating and was putting on so much weight!! This all started a few DPO. Looking back, I can't believe I didn't realise I was pregnant. Duh. Only tested because af was a few days late and was feeling a bit sick - I had docs tell me because of my age it would take a while for me to fall pregnant and I believed them...

5 DPO I had an implantation bleed and passed out, both times. Incredibly sore boobs and sensitive nipples from about 3 weeks after last period. I never got the metallic taste in my mouth.

My imagination loves this thread ... But how to differentiate between my hopeful 'maybe' symptoms and real ones! because I've been TTC for just on 12 months I am a frustrating mix of jaded/skeptical and wildly, desperately hopeful lol.

For instance I'm (I think) about 4 DPO and last night I had tight lower belly and a very achy lower back. I do get these as ovulation symptoms but not this far after the event. Today I'm very slippery down there. Again this is not entirely unusual - except for the timing. But I can dream!

2 or 3 days after conception my boobs exploded!! I went from an A cup to a C cup within a 2 weeks.

I remember driving home from melbourne 2 days after conception and i was in so much pain from my lower back...

So, was kinda hard to hide my pregnancy from my family....

i needed to pee...all the time! at implantation i got a really sharp pain that stopped me in my tracks and then a few days later (so i was about 4 weeks) i was peeing constantly!

Ladies, is sore or swollen breasts always a sign of being UTD? even as a very early symptom? I don't have sore breasts but am actually hoping they DON'T get sore as they usually get super sore immediately before AF anyway so if they get sore next week I'll be afraid AF is coming soon.

Ps I'm not UTD (yet- hopefully) but am hoping lol. I'm about 6 dpo.

My first symptom that I can recall is not wanting my glass of wine one night!!! I think I must've been about 10DPO? Then I went through a bit of a checklist and realised I had a metallic taste and sensitive boobs but I always had the soreness before AF,, so I wasn't sure.

Hmm I've always wondered how i'd survive for nine months sans wine. I did trial an alcohol free month in January which was okay ... I missed champagne though!

Sore boobs pretty much a week later, than period type pains. I didn't usually get the sore boobs.

Well I'm finally back in this thread and for once I can report on ACTUAL pg symptoms! I'm getting a blood test tomorrow but I think I'm 5 weeks along. My first symptoms were around CD 22-25 and were lower abdominal tightness just like af was coming. I still have that feeling now. Plus on CD 28 my breasts became very sore-the day af was due. :)

Congrats on your BFP. I just got one as well! I had cramps from a couple of days after O which confused me but I just ignored them. Then they started constantly at about 14dpo which I assumed was AF because I jumped the gun and tested with a BFN the day before. Then cramps got worse, no AF *and tested 4 days later with a BFP! Funny thing for me was, usually I get VERY sore BBs before AF and I had nothing. Until day after BFP. Now well I sure as hell know they're there! I also had weird stuff going on with my cm.*

Congrats!

This time around it was tiredness for me - feeling like I was a walking zombie most of the time, so tired I wanted to cry. CM went a bit wonky and later started needing to pee and having sore boobs. Tested the day before AF was due and got the BFP...

With DD I had no idea though - but that could've been a naive 20 year old that wasn't expecting it so wasn't looking out for any symptoms. Went to the doc cause my period was late thinking I was just maybe stressed....found out I was about 8 or 9 weeks by then.

Anyone else with lower back pains early on?? Im only 3 dpo and mu lower back hurts that usually occurs when im due to get af. Gassy too, but that could be due to the cheerios and broccoli!!

Dantri congratulations! When are you due? I think I'm due Feb 10 but waiting on blood results before i join a BB group.

I have had some very minor back discomfort but not much. My main thing is the constant and very strong feeling that AF is coming. It's really noticeable at night.

I've calculated I'm due on the 9th Feb! But am yet to get to the Doctor's to confirm (appt on the 28th). Yes, totally get that feeling and at night it is the worst however it does seem to be easing off a bit and now I'm getting the occasional "stitch" feeling in my side. And I'm bloated and gassy. I burp like constantly LOL. It is so weird because I don't burp normally he he.

I had and have continued to have seriously sore, tender breasts. They have gone up a couple of cup sizes and hurt like hell- maternity bras 24hrs a day now. I had cramps which made me think I wasnt pregnant- waiting for the serious AF pains I usually got. Yeah and tiredness. I am 9 weeks pregnant and havent had the metalic taste, morning sickness or any other symptoms. My sister has really really bad morning sickness- everyday, all day, throughout the whole pregnancy. Every woman is different, every pregnancy is different. SO I guess, each for their own with these symptoms.

Congrats on your BFP!! Fantastic news, hope you don't get too many symptoms other than the growing belly!!! I had no symptoms, was a bit off my wine but then didn't test til AF was 6 days late. So bfp at around cd36 and morning sickness started around 6 weeks

This pregnancy I felt a little off here and there a couple of days before my BFP. I also had AF type cramps for the few days leading up to my BFP, the same as I did with DD. I had 3 days of spotting (literally just once a day) before my BFP with DD but no spotting this time. They were my only really early symptoms.

My other pregnancy symptoms started around 5-6 weeks. MS (24/7 nausea) with both pregnancies, severe tiredness, food aversions, metallic taste (but with this PG only), sore nipples and tender breasts but they were only sore for a day here and there.

I had symptoms very soon, but had "symptoms" almost every cycle which actually weren't anything, IYKWIM.

stay calm, and I hope you don't have to wait too long!
