Early Pregnancy Symptoms Poll
-
14-11-2011 3:13pm#1There's been quite a few pregnancies on here recently and I was just thinking it might be a good time to ask those mums-to-be if there was any early symptoms that they recall. It may or may not be helpful to all us who still endure the 2week wait every month
If the poll options don't fit your response, please feel free to post a more detailed response.

I cried at the drop of a hat for the first few weeks, didn't know I was pregnant, just thought I was having some sort of breakdown
My appetite went from healthy to nothing too, and funnily enough I got kinda period cramps around when my period would have been due. 0 -
Nausea/Generally feeling 'off'I was charting so I have an acurate record of exactly how I was feeling
Chart June-July 2011.PNG0 -

I just had sore breasts, tiredness and felt like a had the flu for a few days..
Oh I got period cramps on and off as well which was quite scary
Thats gas, I have a cold at the moment!!! Although for the last 2months I had really sore boobs around the time of AF, this month, I think I have lost all feeling in my boobs :eek:
Thanks to everyone for all the replies, it's really interesting to see what people felt around the early weeks.0 -
Wow, that spreadsheet is amazing!!!! :eek:0 -

I was using Fertility Friend, I found it v.useful for keeping a good track of my cycle, I found I would forget things if I didn't keep track on a daily basis. Must have done some good cos I got pregnant on my second go 0 -

Other...On my last pregnancy (mc ) my boobs were tender and they felt fuller. I felt like I was getting hot flashes. I'd feel faint and/or slightly dizzy if I didn't eat regularly. Also I was really tired!
TTC now but at 10 dpo not getting many symptoms. I was roasting last night but that could be down to the head cold that I'm just getting over. I also had heartburn lately but that could be down to the Christmas binging!
I read somewhere that a sore throat for some women was an indicator so I was delighted to get that until I got a really heavy cold. Sometimes I think that I try and over read any twinge or feeling that I have but my BFN today (early, I know) isn't giving me much hope. 0 -

I had an incredibly heightened sense of smell which made eating very difficult, I couldn't hold a thing down.
I worked as a Hotel receptionist and the manager insisted we used to kitchen entrance - until he saw my face after fish evening 0 -

It sounds like implantation light bleed or spotting, which is normal. If you are worried about it you could go to your doctor to be sure. Congratulations by the waydid anyone who was/is pregnant have symptoms as early as 7dpo?
I have had sore/full boobs since around ovulation and it hasn't eased off at all! Frequently needing to go to the loo, waking late at night having to go. I am 7dpo today and since early this morn I haven't been feeling great. Frequently needing the loo all day and have had pale but bright red/pink on tissue when I wiped. Also had very odd discharge this morning, which was quite sticky (sorry tmi!). Now all eve I've had cramps in my lower tummy area.
I am just starting to wonder what's going on! I am ttc baby #1, so not sure if these are/maybe symptoms! AF is due around next Wednesday. Really hoping as its been a long long road!
Early pregnancy symptoms for me would have been almost instant booby tenderness, not quite getting sick just the feeling like I need to. Dry wretching I suppose you would call it. I was also quite tired early on, but that wouldn't have been as obvious a sign as the boobs and the sick feeling though, those paired told me I was in trouble 0 -

I've a week to go before AF is due so won't be getting too excited just yet! The cramping I am having is still there, although no more spotting since this afternoon. Having sore boobs since just before ovulation is odd, that's never happened before. I am hoping its a good sign! The next 5/6 days will be torture!!0 -

Sorry but I'm a bit lacking with the abbreviations around here, what is AF?I've a week to go before AF is due so won't be getting too excited just yet! The cramping I am having is still there, although no more spotting since this afternoon. Having sore boobs since just before ovulation is odd, that's never happened before. I am hoping its a good sign! The next 5/6 days will be torture!! While I was pregnant I always had cramping, even throughout the pregnancies when my periods would have ordinarily been due. The first time around that scared me a little, because I wasn't sure that was meant to happen. Once I had a chat with my doctor he told me it is quite normal, that some women feel it every month. Try not to worry so much, pregnancy is such an exciting time, but also we worry ourselves sick at times too! 0 -

confirmed I have a kidney infection My back has been sore all day where my right kidney is, which was what made me think it may be that. I'm on antibiotics now for a week, although she gave me ones which would be safe to take if I am pregnant as I explained to her I am TFAB. Oh well, guess I have to wait and see if I am pregnant or not next week! 0 -

Do report back, fingers crossed Ciarrai
well I do still have very sore boobs, have done since I was ovulating, and even then I don't really get sore boobs around ovulation, I'd usually get it about a week before my period is due. But this has lasted the whole time, so that's pretty odd. I can't imagine it has anything to do with me having a kidney infection!?0 -

I'm the same, my boobs get a bit tender up to a week before they're due. If it happened outside of that bracket, something was normally up for me :pac: 0 -

Ah I'm sorry to hear it Ciarrai. Chin up girl, keep trying. It might help to try keep your mind off the actual baby-making side, and more so on the fun part in tryingno luck I'm afraid, back to square one...again
No idea why I have had sore boobs since ovulation! Better start taking double doses of evening primrose oil this time around! These things happen when you least expect them! Wishing you luck for next month hun 0 -

This month, since about a week after ovulation, I have ended up throwing out so much food because it tastes completely 'off.' Everything from milk, pringles, chocolate, takeaways, bread, vegetables. I only found out today that this might be a sign of pregnancy! My sense of smell seems to be really heightened the past week or so too.
The past couple of days, my boobs have been very sensitive. My period is due tomorrow, and I've had none of my usual period pains. Lots of CM (which is unusual for me at the end of the month.)
I'm very warm all the time too, and am having very strange dreams.
Gonna do a test on tuesday morning, when my period would be one day late (if it hasn't come by then.) Fingers crossed! 0 -

what prompted me to take a test was that my sense of smell was heightened. I could smell EVERYTHING. was making me slightly nauseous as well. I never got insane symptoms or cravings or was even turned off by any foods. did find myself a little more tired. It was all so very slight, besides that sense of smell. So don't worry if your not having huge changes or anything, everyone is different! 0
