But I was due to get my period in the middle of our vacation, so I kind of dismissed it. I had an inkling that I was actually pregnant though, because they felt slightly different. On our second-to-last day of vacation, I had a ton of breakouts, but also could attribute that to my period. But the day after we got back, I tested positive! </p> <p>Looking back, I also slept way more than normal on that vacation -- I only stayed up past 10 p.m. one night at our resort. It wasn't SO out of the ordinary that we thought anything of it, but now that I know I was pregnant, it makes a lot more sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1231833 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 09:38:20 +0000 kml636 1231833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 DPO I had a metallic taste in my mouth. That's how I knew to test. I had the same with my daughter.</p> <p>Other than that, I have not had many symptoms, a little cramping and having to pee a lot :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1230533 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:57:44 +0000 Vegmama 1230533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first sign (for both pregnancies) was a sore throat &amp; cold symptoms. This happened in week 3 or 4 ... so right after implantation, during the TWW. I also had sore nipples, but I feel like those weren't really noticeable until after my bfp in week 4. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1230418 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 15:07:55 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1230418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pregnantbee: just hanging out here in the TWW, playing the crazy symptom spotting game - nothing to report (still far too early, and honestly, just not thinking it is my month...time will tell I guess!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1230105 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:46:44 +0000 MapleMoose 1230105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had flu-like symptoms when I got my BFP. Then the first real pregnancy symptom was extreme fatigue at 4 weeks. Very drastic change from feeling normal to feeling full body exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1230006 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:22:52 +0000 photojane 1230006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get any real symptoms until I was already 6 weeks pregnant. I had implantation bleeding though, so I knew I was pregnant. My first symptoms came together at 6 weeks - nausea &amp; bloating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229987 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:19:35 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1229987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wrote a post with all my symptoms by DPO.

I didn't have morning sickness at all, so that would be a big one. I did feel kind of period like things, I guess, but for the most part I didn't feel pregnant til I started getting bigger and feeling movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229942 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:10:26 +0000 pregnantbee 1229942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: Just chiming in to say eeeeeee! Fingers crossed. Can't remember how early I started feeling symptoms. I do know my first ones were that my breasts hurt, major moodiness, weird food cravings/aversions, hated the smell of coffee beans being ground in Trader Joe's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229930 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 13:08:01 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 1229930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vivid dreams, pinching/cramps, and extra emotional- in a good, happy tears kind of way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229252 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:23:44 +0000 Running Elley 1229252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With E I registered as pregnant in a bloodtest at 7DPO so implantation was super early!! 5 and 6 DPO I was exhausted and dizzy and 7DPO I took a 3 hour nap (and, outside of pregnancy and newborn days, I'm not usually a napper). </p> <p>With #2 I don't know because I wasn't thinking about anything as symptoms- I was surprised to find out I was pregnant at 5 weeks (and 5 months PP). MS started the very next day after I got my BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229240 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:18:55 +0000 littleredhairedgrl 1229240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>very tired the week i got my bfp and lower back started feeling a bit sore. also super cranky and bloated! and cramps were much different than when af is coming, more mild and quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229235 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:17:07 +0000 LovelyPlum 1229235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: Also, I'm excited about this post! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229232 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:16:27 +0000 LovelyPlum 1229232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With this baby, I had ridiculously early symptoms. At about 3 DPO, the veins in my boobs bulged, and my nipples got HUGE. I tried to pass it off as something, anything, but I think both DH and I had strong suspicions, because they've only done that the three times I've been pregnant.</p> <p>By about 7DPO, I had bloating was extremely thirsty/needed to pee a lot. I also got really lightheaded really easily and was extremely tired. I had a sore throat around 9DPO and got VERY nauseous around that time, too. I was still not terribly convinced, because I didn't feel any implantation cramping, but at 10/11 DPO, I did feel a few brief pinching cramps in my back. I got an evap in the evening of 12 DPO and had a very barely positive beta (7.8) at 13 DPO. </p> <p>It clearly was something, because I'm 20 weeks today :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229204 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 10:08:06 +0000 Mamasig 1229204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my first, the only symptom was feeling like my period was coming but earlier than usual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229044 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 09:26:24 +0000 MrsKoala 1229044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really had no symptoms until I was 4 weeks and I had already tested positive at that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1229042 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 09:25:27 +0000 mamimami 1229042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know this is supposedly impossible before implantation but with my first the DAY AFTER... you know... I all of the sudden felt dizzy/nauseous and almost passed out. Less than two weeks later, BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228985 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 09:10:54 +0000 littlek 1228985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't realize anything out of the ordinary until after I got my BFP. No idea when that was because we weren't trying. My main symptom after BFP was exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228978 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 09:08:24 +0000 Ellie 1228978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I felt really tired for a few days, around 5-8 dpo. So tired that I took naps. I tested at 9 dpo and got a positive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228892 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:32:37 +0000 Honeybee 1228892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my second, I was nauseous at 10 DPO, so I tested and got a positive! I think that as the earliest I felt any symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228878 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:27:20 +0000 winniebee 1228878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5-7 dpo I was super constipated! And I never am!</p> <p>9dpo shooting cranps that stopped me in my tracks at work and I knew it was implantation. And I got bloated and crampy from then on. </p> <p>10dpo wine tasted like crap. Super gassy. </p> <p>12 dpo tested positive!</p> <p>Got sore boobs around 5 wks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228854 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:18:45 +0000 bookwormmama 1228854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my positive test at 9 dpo. I was testing before that because something felt "off" like others have said. I think my biggest thing was bloating. I was soooo bloated leading up to the days before I tested...maybe starting around 6 or 7 dpo? And at maybe 8-10 dpo (I'm not sure when) I felt like my boobs had increased in size...it was noticeable to myself and DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228846 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:17:04 +0000 bushelandapeck 1228846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Early symptoms for me were exhaustion and being out of breath along with some uterine pain/cramping that were unusual for me pre AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228839 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 08:13:13 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1228839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Confetti: with C, I knew about 7DPO that something was "off". I was exhausted and going to bed around 7pm when I'm normally a night owl. My breasts were so sore and it hurt to walk up steps. They were also rock hard! I also had a lot of discharge which isn't normal for me. I took a test at 10DPO but it was negative. It was positive at 12DPO!</p> <p>Same symptoms with both of my losses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228815 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 07:55:12 +0000 MCD919 1228815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any symptoms during the 2ww except night sweats a couple of nights around 9-10 dpo. I thought I was out bc I had those on non-bfp cycles sometimes. After bfp the earliest symptoms were sore breasts and mild nausea around 5.5 weeks. Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228783 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 07:27:59 +0000 artsyfartsy 1228783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still say my skin went from dry to oily the day of fertilization. So oily I had to start blotting every hour. I was TTC but I didn't even relate this as a pregnancy symptom because it was so early. But sure enough I was pregnant! Still is super oily at 27 weeks. Can't wait to have my normal skin back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228748 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 05:50:37 +0000 lamariniere 1228748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With this pregnancy, I had twinges in my uterus within days of O. I also just felt funny and lightheaded. I came down with one of my worst colds as an adult before the end of the TWW and also had what must have been implantation bleeding about 5-6 days before AF. </p> <p>With my first, I just knew. We were NTNP and I woke up with a bad stomach ache probably a week after O and it hit me and I just knew I was pregnant. I didn't test for another 2 weeks though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228747 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 05:49:32 +0000 nana87 1228747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know exact dpo, but around 10 dpo (CD24) I started feeling really worn out, but my mom was visiting me so I thought it was just tiredness from doing lots of sightseeing with her. I also had to pee a ton! I tested on CD28 (I think it was 14dpo) and got a bfp--on that day and the next couple I felt like I had the flu, I was super achey. I wasn't planning to test until CD32 but the fatigue and aches made me try testing earlier.</p> <p>ETA: I also had some cramping about a week past O, but I'd had that for the past 2 months during bfn cycles so I didn't think anything of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228745 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 05:48:17 +0000 Ash 1228745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a stabbing pain in my uterus and a bout of nausea the same day... About 7dpo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-early-were-your-earliest-pregnancy-symptoms#post-1228739 Wed, 20 Nov 2013 05:31:27 +0000 matador84 1228739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3-4 weeks preg with my second I had symptoms. </p>
