Has anyone had clearly recognizable symptoms in the first week post-O? How early did you notice your earliest symptoms and what were they?
-
In retrospect, I had this weird sinus attack--like hours of constant, constant sneezing (several times a minute), at about 6-7DPO. It wasn't something I considered as a pregnancy symptom, because holy weird!, but it only ever happened when I was pregnant (three times, ugh).
I also had one single, burning nipple (for a few hours) at 7DPO.
-
With my first, I had instant bloating even before implantation bleeding. With my second, I had sore boobs but not until 15 dpo. This time, I had a massive cold that wouldn't go away (I was sick a month before too so it was odd to have yet another cold).
-
With my first- extreme exhaustion for one day at 6 DPO. With my second- same symptom, but at 8 DPO. That's really the only syptom I had until around 7 weeks.
-
I had really sore breasts seemingly right after I ovulated and my sense of smell got a bit crazy before I knew I was pregnant. I also remember having a few bouts of blood when I blew my nose.
-
4 1/2 weeks! I knew I was preggo because I always get this dizzy/faint feeling only when I'm pregnant. I tested 9dpo and got a very faint positive
-
in the 2nd week of the TWW i had a metallic taste in my mouth and was also burping a lot.
-
I had a positive test at about 5 weeks after feeling kinda sick for a few days.
-
Very early on with both pregnancies. With the increased blood flow, my PVC starts to act up and gives me frequent chest pains. It's the best indicator for me.
-
3-4 weeks preg with my second I had symptoms.
-
I had a stabbing pain in my uterus and a bout of nausea the same day... About 7dpo.
-
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.
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!
-
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.
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.
-
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.
-
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!!
-
@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!
Same symptoms with both of my losses.
-
Early symptoms for me were exhaustion and being out of breath along with some uterine pain/cramping that were unusual for me pre AF.
-
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.
-
5-7 dpo I was super constipated! And I never am!
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.
10dpo wine tasted like crap. Super gassy.
12 dpo tested positive!
Got sore boobs around 5 wks
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
I really had no symptoms until I was 4 weeks and I had already tested positive at that point.
-
With my first, the only symptom was feeling like my period was coming but earlier than usual.
-
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.
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.
It clearly was something, because I'm 20 weeks today
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Also, I'm excited about this post!
-
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.
-
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).
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.
-
Vivid dreams, pinching/cramps, and extra emotional- in a good, happy tears kind of way!
-
@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.
-
I don't think I really had any. 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.
-
I wrote a post with all my symptoms by DPO. Let me find it...

-
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 & bloating.
-
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.
-
@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!).
-
My first sign (for both pregnancies) was a sore throat & 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.
-
10 DPO I had a metallic taste in my mouth. That's how I knew to test. I had the same with my daughter.
Other than that, I have not had many symptoms, a little cramping and having to pee a lot
-
About 11 days after I think we conceived, I had period-like cramps (on our way to Mexico!) 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!
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.
