How soon did you feel symptoms?

I'm trying to remember when I felt the first symptoms when I was pregnant with ds. I seem to remember that within the first week of conception I had some heartburn and breast tenderness - it was definitely before I knew I was pregnant, which was the first day I missed my period.

When did you first feel symptoms, and what were they?

In the first week after O, I had cramping, but nothing like period cramps. It was a little more like O pain, but less acute, felt like my uterus was really tender. I was also doing O monitoring with my OvaCue (to confirm that I had O's) and the 2 seconds using the vaginal probe hurt so much, I would have cervical pain for an hour afterwards. My nipples started getting tender by about 6 dpo and when they didn't get any better by 10dpo, I tested and got my :+ Nausea and general feeling of oogyness started a couple of days after that.

I also tested around 10dpo with DS and had similar symptoms.

I didn't ever really have any symptoms...
well, nursing started to be painful and my milk dried up sometime around 8 weeks or so.
Here I am, 36wks (35 adjusted for late ovulation), and if my belly weren't getting in the way and baby weren't kicking my insides so much, I still wouldn't feel pregnant!

My first pregnancy symptom was ridges on my fingernails. They appeared the week after I conceived. I also developed EXTREME sensitivity to smells and had cramps for about a week.

Another thing that led me to believe I was preggers was I didn't get bloated at all and also my bb's usually get REALLY tender & lumpy starting right after ovulation until AF and that never happened.

though we were ttc, i was totally unconvinced i was pg. with tristan i had no symptoms before i knew, but i was on the pill and knew really early.

this time, i had super exaggerated PMS symptoms, mentrual-like cramps that didnt go away for 2 weeks, huge emotional fits so that dh was *sure* AF was coming! Also, i had the usual slight bad skin i get before AF. The only unusual symptoms i had was a little nighttime nausea as i was trying to fall asleep, and tristan (from the moment of conception,:LOL) began nursing all through the night like he used to only do when very sick.

Thank you for your replies. I guess I'm just starting to get a bit bummed that I'm not feeling anything yet. I mean, it could only be that it's only been 6 days since conception, but I keep hoping for some nausea or breast tenderness (I'd better be careful what I wish for!) I'm having a hard time accepting that I might not actually be pregnant!

I have been having some weird nosebleeds, which are totally unusual for me, and I could swear that my nipples felt a little tender when ds nursed earlier tonight, but I could be imagining that.
