Emotional freakouts! It was always my emotional freakouts complete with crying.
-
I got incredibly emotional at a Halloween parade at the elementary school I worked at. I remember texting DH as I almost burst into tears, watching the kindergartners march in their costumes. Then, it hit me. My period was late, I had a horrible, metallic taste in my mouth, and I hadn't been able to stomach my morning oatmeal in days.
-
Extremely sore boobs! I woke myself up with pain when I rolled over my boob.
-
I would vote for extreme thirst and exhaustion but I was allowed only 1 vote! So I chose exhaustion - I was falling asleep on my desk during the day, which had never happened before (unless I was jetlagged, which I wasn't)
-
Haven't seen this one listed yet - mine was an extremely urgent need to urinate.
I had never before (outside of a car ride or a day at the beach and no public restrooms) felt such a strong need to go to the bathroom. Right. Now. I was working, it was the middle of the morning as usual and then bam. Gotta go. AF was due two days prior and I was like a clock so that was my first inkling that I might be pregnant. It lasted maybe a week, but by the time it was gone I was staring at a BFP! -
Extreme thirst & constipation
-
Terrible, noxious, killer gas. I'm so glad my hubby was out of town that week because I didn't even want to be around myself... Exhaustion came a couple weeks later.
-
I had absolutely no symptoms before my BFP.
-
I just felt off and different. I couldn't pinpoint what specifically was making me feel that way, but something wasn't quite normal. I thought DH would think I was nuts (we just started trying), so I didn't say anything, but purchased a test. And it was positive!
-
My boobs started to look a bit bigger and full of blue veins really quickly.
-
The sense of smell was the biggest clue for me with both pregnancies. It started during the 2nd week of the tww this time. I tried to talk myself out of it, saying maybe I got over a cold etc, but it was the thing that made me think I was KU and I was right'
-
Right around what must have been implantation I had cold like symptoms.
Also, I noticed I didn't get my usual pms acne. My skin was SO clear.
-
@littlek: With both of my pregnancies, a sore throat was my very first sign during the TWW. Closely followed by sore nipples.
-
Sore boobs for my first, and no symptoms w/ my 2nd.
-
The thing that tipped me off was that my temps stayed elevated - otherwise I wouldn't have tested. I had pretty heavy spotting which I though was AF.
In retrospect, my skin got very oily and started breaking out, I had really terrible low back pain, and I was so thirsty! -
For me, it was a temperature spike at about 12dpo. Otherwise, I wouldn't have suspected until AF was really late. I didn't feel anything else different until about 5-6 weeks
-
Clear skin, since I usually break out before AF, and I had to pee all the time!
-
Crampyness, gassiness, and wine tasted bad to me!
-
The smell of bacon frying made me throw up.
ETA: Well tipped DH off. I was in denial that there was even a chance that month.
-
My chart looked different than previous months. It was a super steady rise and stayed up there. And I felt lightheaded almost feverish before my BFP.
-
@winniebee: Wine tasting bad.. that's an awful symptom
-
@littlek: hahah I knew SOMETHING had to be up because wine never tastes bad. Even bad wine tastes good ; )
-
Montgomery's tubercules. All of a sudden I had an insane amount of bumps around my areolas. Plus I had a horrible stuffy nose, but no cold and no allergies. And I was burping non stop. It was embarrassing when I'm explaining things to my pts and burping through the whole thing
-
my boobs starting hurting around 11dpo, think I got my positive at 12dpo
-
I was getting a lot of headaches. I got really suspicious though, when I tried to eat my favorite sandwich and puked.
-
Cramping that began earlier than AF would have.
-
I had super hot flashes at night, had to pee in the middle of the night, and extreme heart burn!
-
Sore boobs!
-
My nipples were sore beyond belief!!!
-
We were on vacation, so I figured my hunger (2 solid extra meals per day) and exhaustion were just due to the extra fun and activities. However, the getting up at night to pee and bigger boobs couldn't be explained by vaca, and I actually took my test 1/2 way through a glass of wine because it just didn't taste right, like @winniebee: mentioned.
-
Super duper extreme exhaustion at 6 DPO with my first and 8 DPO with my second. Nothing else, just absolute extreme can't make myself move to save my life exhaustion for a day or so. Other than those two days, I have never been THAT tired before (even after sleepless newborn nights).
-
Dizziness. From the moment I woke up in the morning, to the time I fell asleep at night it constantly felt like the room was spinning. Had it for a full week before I took a test (before a dr appointment to rule out anything else) and it was positive.
-
I felt sea sick, couldn't eat my eggs and had crazy real dreams (ironically about AF arriving).
-
BLOATING. That didnt tip me off until i saw a faint linea negra on my abdomen. Then i figured i must be pregnant.
-
@PurplePeony: ah forgot about the awful gas. I felt bad for anyone around me. I didnt even want to me around me either
