If you had symptoms before you BFP what were they? I knew well before testing with number 2 because of my intense sense of smell & constipation. I had these symptoms with number one as well (but never really put two and two together since I was new to it.) my husband said you're pregnant as soon as I said "i think LO pooped" and she was all the way across the room! Ha
-
This time I had some pulling pain in my uterus when standing up and I did with my son too. I also fell asleep on the couch during my sons nap which I never do.
-
Crampiness - it just felt a little different than PMS.
-
I didn't know until I tested, but in retrospect, I had mittelschmerz-type pains on and off for about a week, and my own poop started to smell different (LOL).
-
I could feel implantation every time. It was sharp lightning zings in a localized spot. I've been pregnant 4 times and every time it was the same.
-
Crazy, crazy dreams! I hardly ever have vivid dreams but I did with my first pregnancy, and when I started having crazy dreams again when DD1 was ten months old, I knew it was time to test. Same thing happened this time! Weirdest symptom but it's my telltale sign.
-
Lots of ewcm.
-
I didn't really have any noticeable symptoms before my bfps.. When pg with DS I had a couple of night sweats, but it could've just been due to being hot? My symptoms didn't start until 5-6 weeks both times.
-
I had implantation bleeding, which I also had with my first & tipped me off to test.
-
I never symptom spot, so I don't really pay attention. In hindsight with #1 I had implantation cramping. Nothing with #2. With #3, I knew I was pregnant as soon as I had zero signs my period was coming. Real symptoms don't typically come until week 5.
-
DS1- period late
DD- super sense of smell
DS2- indigestion, non existent period -
With #1 I was extra tired.
With #2 my boobs hurt so much when I hugged DD1.
With #3 I ordered a lemonade. I only ever want lemonade when pregnant. -
With DD1, sore boobs. With DD2 I was testing like a maniac
-
We had been trying for a few months and right after we DTD he fell asleep (lol) and I had all this energy and I was like, "that was it!! Now I'm pregnant!!" And the whole next day I had that same feeling. But I'm not that kind of person at all - I'm pretty much a big downer with my lack of optimism so those feelings really took me by surprise.
But realistically, I had cramping but no bleeding, which had never happened to me before. I also started taking naps.
-
I had AF like cramps off and on for a week. Also, I was more thirsty, and tired than usual.
-
Positive pregnancy tests.
-
DS: I had a good idea when the morning my period was due my temp shot up instead of dropping. D says he had an inkling because he was frying bacon one morning (at like 8-9DPO) and the smell made me run for the bathroom.
DD: No symptoms before BFP. It was our first month TTC and I tested at 10DPO on a whim. My boobs blew up within a week or two of the test, though
-
I thought I was having symptoms so many other times before I got BFNs. When I finally did get my BFP, there were no symptoms at all. I don't put stock into it anymore, even though it's so hard not to wonder.
-
#1- noticeable implantation cramping around 8 dpo. Id never had cramping at that point in my cycle (and I had been tracking it really carefully for a few months prior to even ttc).
#2- we weren't trying but I knew it was possible. Night before I tested I was having dinner with a friend and complaining about being so tired (but I have a toddler so not unheard of!) and I got so bloated I had to loosen my belt at dinner. BFP the next morning.
-
With LO1, I woke up to sudden stomach pain in the middle of the night and just knew I was pregnant. I could feel that my uterus was "feeling" different, unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I didn't test for 2 more weeks (we were NTNP) and sure enough, BFP.
With LO2, nothing before a BFP.
-
Cramping, boob ache and nausea. Wish it were glowing skin and perfect nails
-
LO1 - massively sore boobs, that was the only thing.
LO2 - suddenly started falling asleep really easily at night (normally have big trouble sleeping), and a bit of mild nausea. Boobs were not sore at all which threw me a bit though! -
I had actually already tested for that week on the day AF didn't come. It was a BFN. So that night DH and I went out and I had a couple beers!
A week later, I realized AF still hadn't come. I didn't have any other symptoms. Took a test and BFP, went to the doctor two days later and they confirmed it. It was so crazy and unexpected cause I thought for sure I was out for that month!
Then I started freaking out that I'd had alcohol that week.
-
Just the fact that I was late. The month I was actually pregnant, I had zero symptoms! I even thought i started my period early because I had a couple days of random spotting from 11-12 dpo (which now I'm realizing must have been implantation bleeding). I tested a day or so after my missed period when I realized I never actually started.
-
I actually wasn't sure I was pregnant, but my symptoms included extremely sore breasts and uncharacteristic lightheadedness (I thought I was just dehydrated). But the odd symptoms that made me wonder was my aversion to anything sweet. Anything sweet tasted sickly sweet to me! I also had hot flashes.
-
Both times I was pregnant, I was sporadically very lightheaded and dizzy at times starting at 5 dpo.
-
Really sore lower back.
-
Missed my period, then positive pregnancy test. Looking back I had implantation spotting and early pregnancy insomnia.
-
With my current pregnancy I suspected at 6dpo because I felt so sick. So much so that I started testing! Got my bfp 2 days later on 8dpo.
-
Because I had had unprotected sex.
Really, though, I didn't have any symptoms.
-
With all three pregnancies I was convinced I wasn't pregnant and didn't test until the day my period was due. But, with hindsight, with all three I had period-type cramps the day before AF was due. And with the third one, I had felt a bit nauseous all week and very off my food. I remember only wanting to eat Chinese food.
-
Very different and noticeable cramping that stopped me in my tracks. Started about a week before my bfp and continued for at least a week after. Hot flashes too, but the cramps were most suspicious.
-
I could never tell! In hindsight with DS1, I recall having an I sense of smell but I was TTC so it didn't clue me in at all.
-
I literally just knew. lol DD1 was a surprise. I was having crazy, over the top bloating and cramps, continuous, vivid dreams about having a baby and then my period was late.
With DD2 we had only been actively TTC For 2 weeks so when my period didn't show up the day it was due, I thought it might be just a coincidence (my cycle usually varies by about 5 days or so). When I first tested I thought it was negative but I just kept thinking that I felt pregnant so I took another one (same day) an d sure enough it was positve. A squinter, but positve none the less.
-
One day of extreme exhaustion, then nothing till I tested (which is the exact reason I tested for #2). A week or two later profuse vomiting and heartburn wouldn't have been easy to miss.
-
Cramping! After my first m/c I stopped getting cramps before/during AF, so with my most recent pregnancy when I noticed I was having cramping I knew I was pregnant! Gut feeling too. After being pregnant so many times I just sort of know.
-
I had these pinching sensations all the time. And crampy, but like at a different spot than AF.
-
I sat down to eat an orange, and I felt cold. Then I ate the orange, and it tasted terrible. I griped about it to my husband and he remarked that I might be pregnant. I went and took a test and then, when it came up positive, threw it at him and shouted 'LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME'.
-
My body is so sensitive I felt every twinge of implantation, followed by very sore boobs.
-
Lo1 - implantation bleeding
Lo2 - headaches and sore boobs
Lo3 - nothing!
