Hi Kiwigirl.

The experts say you can't get symptoms until implantation occurs, but the net is full of women who had symptoms from as early as CD3 but most women don't seem to get any symptoms until about 9 or 10DPO. They say implantation usually occurs between 7 & 10DPO but can happen a few days either side. That would then account for women who get symptoms as 3 or 4DPO - they just had early implantation. What you also have to remember is that it is not an exact science.... we can guess which day we O'd by temping but even that is not 100% accurate so it could have happened a day or so earlier than what we (or FF) work out.

My only early symptoms with my last pg were cold symptoms & and noticably clearer skin in the 3rd week of my cycle (I break out twice per month mid cycle & end of cycle.... I know it's really funny for a 41 year old). Week 4 I started to get heartburn every day and was burping a lot. Frequent urination and sore BBs only happened a day or two before my AF was due. All of these things I only noticed in retrospect as to be honest I didn't think I would fall pregnant due to my history.

Pretty much every "pg symptom" could be attributed to a number of other ailments so it really doesn't mean anything until you get that line on the test. That said, it doesn't stop me wondering if this could be my lucky month.
