Early preg symptoms

[amandasemele]

How early did you ladies get your symptoms?
Were you tired right away? We were not trying to concieve but we leave it to god. There is a very big possibiltiy that I am preg again. I would have concieved just a few days ago. Just wondering how soon you just knew?

I swear I'm pregnant right now. I would have conceived 5 days ago, so I can't confirm yet, and have been searching all over the interwebs for other mamas' early pregnancy symptoms too!

1-3 DPO, felt nauseous in the afternoon. I never, ever get nauseous. Also, headaches.
3 DPO, felt a sharp twinge in my uterus
4 DPO, nauseous in afternoon, fatigue. Areolae suddenly have very large prominent blue veins popping out. I don't recall them being there before and I look at my nipples a lot because I'm breastfeeding!
5 DPO (today), nauseous in afternoon, fatigue, aversion to alcohol (very weird for me), veins are looking bigger and bluer, breasts feel warmer than normal

So I can't say for sure that I'm pregnant, but I feel pretty positive about it. I've a fuzzy headed feeling, and have been unusually happy the last few days (according to my husband, lol). I will be testing every day until I know one way or the other, though!

Leading up to O - no leaking after DTD
2dpo - brown spotting. Very very odd, I never spot during O. (I don't think it was implantation spotting but rather ovulation spotting that took a bit of time to come out) But this being different, in retrospect, was interesting.
5dpo - nausea started (blamed christmas/food)
6dpo - poke. poke. poke. poke. (later confirmed that she did indeed implant on the right side, where I felt the poking. It was like something inside me was caught on something else... I guess she was!)
7dpo - temp started to rise, not feverish but still... went out with 5 Marines (including my soon to be hubby) and their wives/soon to be wives (one couples first date, they got engaged last week!) us ladies spoke of drinking in early pregnancy over white wine. Two of us were a week pregnant at that point (myself and DFs cousin)
8dpo - felt hungover despite only having 3 glasses of white wine the entire evening before. DF overdrank and I called it a sympathy hangover... still felt nauseous... I could smell my kids toys from the back seat (smelled like burnt plastic, df couldnt smell them)
9dpo - still felt sick, temp still up (but not feverish at all during tww) and got RLP while on the trampolines that night (new years eve) BFN that morning on a FRER
10dpo - BFN FRER with FMU, STILL sick/temp up, getting moody/emotional but DF was about to leave back to where he is stationed (we dont live together yet) and i was getting blood when I blew my nose, blamed dry winter air
11dpo - faint possible positive IC that night
12dpo - visible but faint positive IC
13dpo - positive FRER (but so faint you can hardly see it)
15dpo - positive digital... every single symptom of AF coming I EVER have... and AF was due the day before (had 13 day LPs) but alas, never came. Or I should say, not coming until after Mae does in late august/early septemeber and then she will come with a vengeance! I usually only have 3 day AF so postpartum bleeding makes me feel like Im dying lol.

It will actually vary from different women, but usually symptoms like swollen breasts, vomiting, nausea, spotting, etc can be felt probably 7-10 days from ovulation period.

Here is a list if that helps :)

I felt cramping, which was rare, and all around icky feeling at 7 days dpo.

After that I felt fine even after I got bfp. I didn't feel pregnant until 5 1/2 weeks.

I didn't get any symptoms until around the day of my missed period. And even then, it was only a bit of fatigue and nipple tenderness.

With both pregnancies I didn't really notice any symptoms until the week my period should have shown. Symptoms were the same with both: Very tender breasts, darkened/enlarged areolas and the obvious absence of the typical menstrual cramps I get prior to starting my period.

With this pregnancy I began waking up extremely hungry which was odd. I'm not sure how soon one's appetite typically increases in pregnancy but with this one I noticed right away.

My breasts are always tender after ovulation so I just ignored that symptom. Looking back, my earliest symptom was vertigo-I had it for a few days before I could even test for pg.
