Early Pregnancy Symptoms-- What were yours?

[Sweet_Southern_Mama]

Well when I started this thread I thought I was imagining symptoms because I was paranoid. Well, it turns out that as of yesterday I am about 2 weeks pregnant. Here are my very early symptoms:
-Metallic taste in mouth since about 2 dpo
-Stinging nipples and the ends of them turning white & the area around them getting really bumpy.
-Nausea, but very little.
-A little dizziness. I'll be sitting there and all of a sudden it feels like the room shifted.
-Getting out of breath a little easier now.
-Breasts feeling fuller.
-Bloated, very!
-Hungry ALL the time. I'm talking an hour after I eat I'm very hungry again.
-Little stinging feelings just below my belly button.
-Backaches

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!

Second, many of the symptoms you described can be associated with a normal period. If you are around the time you would have normally got it, then many of those symptoms could go away. Its not unusual to get them the first month or two.
If not, you're in for a LONG ride! LOL.

So, how did you find out SO EARLY?

We aren't trying just yet, but my mom told me once that after her first pregnancy, she always knew long before it showed on a test (of course, this was a while back). She said she would get hit by a "wave" of moodiness - would suddenly be angry and upset for no apparent reason.

I ovulate later in the month than most- only a few days before my period. So I'm already a week late but only 2 weeks along.

Like you said, they are symptoms of pms also like most pregnancy symptoms. So I was torn between thinking I was going to start and that I was pregnant. But all the symptoms were different from what I usually have and I was a week late yesterday. So my doctor ordered a blood test because all the hpts were showing negative & I'm usually pretty regular. He said my HGC levels were just below what an hpt will usually detect. I'm sure there are more symptoms to come, but that was just the very earliest ones.

I forgot to add I was sleeping a lot, like 14 hours a day some days.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!

Just thought I would bump this up again since I am in "the wait" again this week after an early miscarriage last month.

Hi there,

Just got my BFP two weeks ago (after a previous mc). I had no symptoms prior to the BFP which I got at 12 DPO, but that day, I started feeling tugging in my abdomen. The next day, my BBs started to get sore, I found myself really hungry and very tired.

All of those things have just intensified along the way.

Good luck! And if you are having trouble TTC, give Preseed a shot. It worked for me!

With my first child before I missed my period i just had extreme exhuastion a few headaches and also got a yeast infection from all the hormones. But when I miscarried a few months ago I had none of the symptoms the first time around i just had no symptoms at all.

I'm currently 6 months pregnant with my first, and I found out I was pregnant right after a Nickelback concert... LOL!

Seriously, it was right at 3 weeks after conception, and DH, my sis and I went to see Nickelback. We got home about 3am the next morning, which was nothing, I was used to being up late. I realized I was pregnant when I just couldn't catch up on my sleep after that. The concert was on a Tuesday, and I swear, after work every day, I slept straight through the rest of the week. I just couldn't hold my eyes open! It took 2 months before I could get through the day without having to lay down, and now I'm right back where I started. I can't get enough sleep, and actually nap about 4 hours a day. Morning sickness started for me at 2 months, and hasn't stopped yet. Heartburn was also a really early sign for me (end of first month, I think) because I've never, ever had any problems with heartburn.

Anyhoo, the Friday after the concert I told DH I was pregnant. Test confirmed it that Saturday, lol.
