They were killing me after I had gone running one night. I got a BFP two days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-8640 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 06:56:48 +0000 Andrea 8640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't have any symptoms before I found out. I took the test a few days after my period was late. And then shortly thereafter my boobs hurt like heck and I was extremely fatigued. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-8625 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:41:53 +0000 Colekbl 8625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was absolutely starving &amp; was more sensitive to smells. After I had both in one afternoon DH declared I was pregnant &amp; it turned out I was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-5451 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 13:18:21 +0000 Mrs McK 5451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sore, tingly nipples, badly congestion, very mild cramping and major fatigue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-5399 Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:37:19 +0000 sunny-day73 5399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had very sore nipples, was really tired, and was super super thirsty. I also noticed an big increase in my appetite. I'd eat something, and literally be starving again in 2 hours. And I also had cramps too, like I was about to start my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2146 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 06:26:17 +0000 Rubies 2146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just prior to taking the pregnancy test, I felt bloated. Once it was confirmed that I was pregnant, I was totally exhausted, very gassy, and my eyes were very. very dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2144 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 05:55:34 +0000 winniebee 2144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a few weird things happen during my TWW that didn't normally happen, but overall was much more pessimistic the month that we got pregnant. I am always a little crampy during the TWW and was always convinced they were pregnancy related. </p> <p>During this TWW I was constipated from 6-8DPO (never happens), had a few quick pretty intense cramps at 9DPO (with some weird chills down my leg....am convinced this was implantation), wine tasted off to me, and I had really restless sleeps for a few nights. I found out I was pregnant on 12DPO (the day before my period was due). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2048 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 14:34:29 +0000 Mrs McK 2048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sore nipples, bad nasal congestion, and total exhaustion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2024 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 11:18:21 +0000 KansasPrincess11 2024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was THIRSTY! That was the first clue for me. I couldn't drink enough water. Then I had a sore throat and what seemed to be a sinus infection, turns out that's a symptom for some women...still trying to kick this thing. Grrrr... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2021 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 11:15:19 +0000 Becksabee 2021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hadn't missed my period yet, so I didn't have much before I found out. I did have severe heartburn a few days beforehand, but that's it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-2020 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 10:57:51 +0000 Lindsay05 2020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since 1 dpo I was having some mild cramping. On top of that I had some bloatedness. I thought for sure if I wasn't pregnant that my cycles were officially going to suck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1823 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:35:12 +0000 miranlee 1823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I knew about a week after we conceived, bc my breasts were so sore and swollen. Once i missed my period, it was confirmed and the mind numbing headaches, fatigue, and debilitating nausea settled in for a good 10 weeks. I was so greatful that it ended in my second trimester! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1800 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 10:50:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 1800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sore breasts. and fatigue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1734 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 22:53:27 +0000 yin 1734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a huge mess --- sore breasts, headaches, fatigue, sensitivity to light and smell, and chest pains. It didn't cross my mind that I could be pregnant, and my doctor ordered a series of tests for my heart b/c of an irregular heartbeat. It was only after a stress test did my husband suggest taking a pregnancy test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1729 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 21:13:32 +0000 BabyBruins 1729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was cramping like I was about to get my period and I didn't realize that was a symptom until I talked to my pregnant friend. Nausea didn't hit until about week 6 and I didn't get "super smell" until the second trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1693 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 17:38:07 +0000 MegWag 1693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went slightly crazy during my last few months before I was actually pregnant. I had sore breasts and other "symptoms". When it was the real deal it had hot, heavy breasts and heartburn early on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1618 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:30:08 +0000 tequiero21 1618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i don't think i really had any real symptoms when i found out since i found out really early. we did fertility treatment, so we pretty much did the hcg testing at 4 weeks. so before i was really considered "late". i might have had sore nipples. but now, even at 12+ weeks, i still have what feels like ALL the symptoms and praying it lets up soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1603 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 12:45:35 +0000 MaisyMay 1603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even before my period was late, my breasts were sore and I was exhausted! I'd get home from work and take a nap, wake up for dinner and want another nap. On my prep period at school, I'd wish that I could nap. No nausea though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1574 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:29:18 +0000 mommacommaphd 1574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a feeling I was pregnant this second time around because I starting having to pee all the time.</p> <p>The first time around I was really tired even before my period was due. This second time I was exhausted too, but it's hard to tell if that's pregnancy related when you've got a toddler and never get enough sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1569 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:46:54 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've pretty much found out the day or two after my period was late (4 times), so i've never had symptoms before knowing. my first symptoms were fatigue and major major food aversion from 6 weeks on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1564 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:11:09 +0000 chopsuey 1564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My period wasn't late, but my breasts were sore around the time I was supposed to get it (which never ever happened). Also, the day I took a pregnancy test (1-2 days before i was supposed to get my period), i felt a flutter in my belly.<br /> Went home and took a pregnancy test and it was positive! We weren't even TTC. I was actually on birth control but had missed taking it for a few days. oops. HA. </p> <p>I had all the symptoms I thought I would have--fatigue, nausea, headaches, sore breasts.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-were-your-first-symptoms#post-1556 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 08:24:42 +0000 mediagirl 1556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know every woman is different but when you found out, or even before you found out you were pregnant, what symptoms did you have. What symptoms were you surprised you didn't have? </p>
