How early did you experience symptoms?

How early did you experience pregnancy symptoms, if you are/did experience any?
For instance, cravings, nausea, and so on?

Dh says that I smell different right around the time I get a bfp. I also get way sweaty right away. I don't start cravings or m/s, breast tenderness or hormonal headaches until about week 8.

With my last pregnancy, the ultrasound date came back with a due date that would have put me having morning sickness before implantation would have even occurred. I tried to tell my midwife that they were wrong , but she didn't believe me until my babe was born before her due date -- at 41 weeks gestation by exam, LOL. So it turns out that morning sickness starts for me right about EXACTLY when implantation occurs. Apparently, my body really doesn't like it. I had morning sickness this time before my first missed period, too, but there is still a little bit of confusion on dates for me, so who knows. Breast tenderness and enlargement comes on really quickly for me, too - maybe by six weeks or so?

Something else that was really funny this time was that I started craving meat before I knew I was even pregnant. I've been a veg for 11 years, so that was startling. But I'd never experienced that before.

My nipples start hurting (really really really badly) at about five days after conception. Other symptoms don't start till about 5.5 weeks (so ~3.5 weeks after conception). I'm quick and schtuff.

With my first, I started having nausea and exhaustion around 6-7 weeks. This time around I felt horrible before I even got a BFP on the HPT! So, I'm guessing it was less than a week after implantation. Both times my symptoms last about 6 weeks and then slowly subsided.

My first sign is exhaustion. I get tired before my missed period. By the time I've missed it I have full on pregnancy exhaustion. But the morning sickness doesn't kick in until 7-8 weeks. And my MS is pretty bad. This pregnancy I was so excited thinking I was going to get away with no ms, and then a few days later it kicked in hard.

I got nauseated the day after my BFP. My only symptoms before AF was due was the lack of any symptoms at all. I was suspicious because my lutheal phase is always exactly 12 days. I always get irritated and crampy before AF arrives. I felt perfectly fine.

My first symptom...which I guess is not typical...was a "heart racing/working harder/very alert/couldn't sleep, as if I'd had too much afternoon caffeine" feeling. It started at night and I felt the same way the next morning (13dpo) and got several very clear bfp's right then.

[MaerynPearl]

5dpo on I had nausea (and did not have implantation dip/rise til 6/7dpo!)

6dpo on bloated

8dpo on I had blood when I blew my nose.

fatigue didnt start until about 5 weeks for me.

[tri31]

By 5 days dpo (due date estimate) my breast were sore. I was still nursing my then 15 month old. Also my knee started feeling a little wobbly (it had been solid as a rock since healing from my acl reconstruction). Then I knew I better take a test., which of course took two weeks to turn positive.

[mamakaryn08]

Started having a full/heavy/very sensitive feeling in my uterus within a day or two of conception, also had a very strong intuitive feeling that I was pregnant.

Lots of heartburn within a few days. Well, not lots, but in comparison to the NONE that I usually have, it sure felt like a lot.

A little bit moody and a little bit more physically sensitive, not wanting to be touched, etc.

Somewhere in there I took a BBT and it was WAY higher than normal. Can't remember what day, though, as I wasn't charting very regularly that cycle.

About 7dpo started experiencing extreme fatigue in the early evenings.

10dpo started having to pee every 2 hours, even throughout the night, increased vaginal discharge, and also started having round ligament pain, which for me, was the solidifying "yep, you're pregnant" symptom.

Got very faint BFP at 12dpo, 2-3 days before I missed my period.

[etsdtm99]

usually i haev some sign around 10dpo .. with this one, i was just extra hungry and tired ..and thought nothing of it until i tested at 13dpo.. nausea started at about 4wks 3 days and was on and off until 6 weeks. .. (started at 5 weeks with my 1st.. later with my 2nd, maybe 6 weeks?)

[texasfarmom]

I started having symptoms wk 6 and they mostly subsided by wk 14. I had nausea and was very tired. I had heartburn for a couple of weeks during the early part of the second tri. too.

[Pinoikoi]

With my sons I got sick pretty much when I took a test.. in fact the sickness would prompt the test.. this time it took longer- but then I tested positive at 8dpo.

[finn'smama]

My first symptom every time is frequent urination. It started about 7 dpo this time and I got my bfp at 9dpo. No other symptoms until about 5 weeks.

[JennTheMomma]

With Hunter I had really sore breasts and extreme tiredness from 3 weeks. With this baby I felt sick at 4 weeks, and my sense of smell hightend.
