That confused me because it also sort of fit the criteria for fertile cervical mucus, though was unlike anything I'd ever had. A few days later I had a weird "lightheaded" kind of dazzling feeling for a moment over my left ovary (no idea how else to explain it, it was weird). Then the most marked change was a whole lot of sneezing. No idea what that was about, but I was sneezing like a zillion times a day. I also started feeling a bit nauseous anytime I got hungry starting about 10dPO, and was far thirstier than usual. Of course at the time I thought I was inventing symptoms, but it turned out they were all real! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1239118 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 05:42:06 +0000 gracecat 1239118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue until I took a test on 12 dpo, the one month I wasn't symptom spotting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1239052 Sun, 24 Nov 2013 01:27:05 +0000 delight 1239052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time, slight brown spotting was my first clue at 10 DPO. At 12 DPO I had a strong metallic taste in my mouth and tested positive that day. The second pregnancy, I had brown spotting at 8 DPO and felt nauseous at 10 DPO and tested positive that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1238480 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 17:06:36 +0000 MrsB2012 1238480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Horrid period like cramps that woke me up at night for 2-3 nights around.. oh gosh I don't remember, 7 DPO? Then extreme fatigue around the same time. I remember trying to finish my workout and wanting to lay down and die I was so tired. I got my BFP at 9 DPO I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1238164 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 11:51:01 +0000 littlek 1238164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FMU is the best </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1238163 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 11:49:59 +0000 court_schaeff 1238163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tested yesterday.. BFN. I'm going to give it a couple dayd and use fmu. Fingers crossed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1238132 Sat, 23 Nov 2013 11:20:01 +0000 MrsScottish 1238132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>update? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236667 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:30:09 +0000 Ash 1236667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: don't forget to tell us what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236654 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:26:14 +0000 court_schaeff 1236654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ash: thank you. I'm too excited! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236625 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:19:43 +0000 Ash 1236625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: it can dilute your urine... So drink a bunch and then hold it as long as you can. Or wait till morning and use your first morning urine (fmu). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236601 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:12:29 +0000 court_schaeff 1236601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ash:<br /> I've heard drinking water decreases the hormones. True? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236579 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 14:08:43 +0000 Ash 1236579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: there ya go! Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236268 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:54:08 +0000 court_schaeff 1236268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gotcha! I do have one of those tests handy. I believe it says six days before missed period and I believe I'm hitting that mark. Today is six days before AF is supposed to come </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236262 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:51:10 +0000 Ash 1236262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: first response early results... They're the tests marked "get results up to 5 days before your missed period". Super sensitive! You can test in the morning or hold your pee for a few hrs and test tonight. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236201 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:33:22 +0000 court_schaeff 1236201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Blue what is FRER? New here and all these acronyms will be the death of me haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236188 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:28:41 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1236188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: I got a faint BFP at 11 DPO, but I think you could definitely test with an FRER at 10 DPO. It might not show up on a digital at this point, but if you get a positive FRER, I would do a digital, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236183 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:27:28 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1236183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was looking for symptoms, but what really should have clued me in is that on 10 &amp; 11 DPO, I was so tired I was literally sleeping until 11 am and taking a nap by 2 p.m. (I wasn't at work that week). I never sleep past 8:30, so that should have been a clue. It was like-you-have-mono tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236104 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:03:42 +0000 court_schaeff 1236104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So whens the best time to test and what brand do you all recommend?? @littlek </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1236099 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 12:01:51 +0000 littlek 1236099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@court_schaeff: I think it's possible to have symptoms or not have any symtpoms early on. Every pregnancy is different, the only real way to know you are pregnant is a positive pregnancy test. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235829 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 10:38:26 +0000 court_schaeff 1235829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So it is possible to have symptoms this early! You all just gave me faith that I can possibly be pregnant. I think ill take a test tomorrow morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235417 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:46:33 +0000 Ash 1235417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take a test! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235409 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:43:19 +0000 Lindsay05 1235409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 dpo (yes 4), I was dizzy and just not feeling right. I had a pretty good idea at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235382 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:31:54 +0000 mrsjazz 1235382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9DPO I had the weirdest symptom, my hands became extremely hot, so hot I had to hold a bottle of cold water. I also had a headache and felt like I was coming down with something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235370 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:27:02 +0000 littlek 1235370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A positive test. Looking back I would say exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235366 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:25:51 +0000 bushelandapeck 1235366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exhaustion and weird cramping in my uterus around 8-9DPO. This last time I also had sensitive nipples but I was still nursing so I chalked it up to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235281 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 07:32:33 +0000 court_schaeff 1235281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BIRDOFAFEATHER how soon did you notice peeing a lot? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235144 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 02:22:35 +0000 MrsEmm 1235144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I missed my period!<br /> In hindsight, I would say that a change in appetite was really the first symptom. I wasn't as hungry as I usually am, and just could not finish any meals. I then felt very similar symptoms to PMS (bloating, cramping, sore breasts) and I would have sworn black and blue that I was about to get my period... but then it never came. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235141 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 02:18:48 +0000 birdofafeather 1235141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A positive test! On reflection, I had to pee a bunch, but that was it and I didn't really think much of it because I have a small bladder. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235069 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:36:22 +0000 court_schaeff 1235069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nipples hurt badly! Not my breast just my nipples. This started about 5dao. I'm about 10dao and they still hurt! Also about two days ago I feel like I'm constantly peeing. I just don't know if these things could really be happening this early or if they're in my head /: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-symptom#post-1235037 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 00:12:18 +0000 Brassgiraffe 1235037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stood up from the couch and was dizzy in a way I'd never experienced before... I seriously saw stars and my vision was darkened around the edges. I thought it was a fluke until it happened a second time. This was maybe 10-11 DPO. </p>
