When did you ladies start getting pregnancy symptoms?UPDATE (Page 1)

At about 4 weeks I got massive gas and cramps. Nausea kicked in at aout 6 weeks.

I felt pregnant before I tested, too. I got a metallic taste in my mouth, sore boobs & morning sickness at around 5 weeks.

Around 4 weeks, I was crampy, gassy and had REALLY sore boobs. It was much different than regular PMS symptoms, so I pretty much knew then. Morning sickness starting kicking in around 8 weeks.

Things started to stink at around 3/4 weeks with Chu. Plus I just felt odd. No way to really explain it except, well...odd! Lol! Then there were the cramps that didn't feel like normal period cramps.

This time there was a little bit of the things stinking (not as much) and cramps (more than last time). Plus there's the bloat that's not going away so I'm guessing that I'm just getting flabnastic early. And the never ending desire for water when I usually hate it. Oh yeah, and the fatigue. So that's my four week summary of symptoms this time. And the first time I suspected I was before I was able to test too. This time I think I was in denial. Lol!

i knew both times since conception. i just felt it.

i don't remember when i started getting symptoms though. i know i was disgustingly gassy with finn and that was before i tested and i know i tested about 4-5 days before my period was due.

now you've got me wondering why you're asking! do you have something to share?

Ooooh exciting

this is exciting! i'll start bugging you to test in a few days!

Pfft, early smearly...girl get to peein!! Ok, well, if you are still a week away then wait 3 days, then get to peein!!!


What are you hoping for?

I think around 4 weeks. Tiredness hit me. I was constantly exhausted. I knew before i tested with both pregnancies but was in denial with William, so had to test again.
When's the earliest you can test? Ooh this is exciting !

I kind of "knew" right away - I just felt different. But I didn't actually start feeling anything until around 6 weeks or so.

The earliest, 8dpo. A fairly decent percentage of women get positive (mind you very faint that early.) But a really good amount of women get pretty good positives by 12dpo.

It really depends on the test sensitivity. And the individual pregnancy.

To all the women that "just knew": Did you know you were pregnant or did you know something was "different"?


Jules, when is af due?

I want to say I suspected. I think deep down I knew but just didn't want to admit it to myself because I was avoiding the test like the plague the first time and this time it was just denial. Like right now I already know I am but I have this overwhelming urge to test again.

i knew something wasn't right. once my period didnt come i knew right away, i tested that day with william and sure enough i was pregnant. i was kind of in denial with william, thinking it couldn't of happened as we were careful. with this one, i knew i was pregnant when i missed my period and it didnt come as a complete surprise when the test said positive. no need to take another test this time round

I think I am pregnant every month but that month I was dead set positive that I was. I was soooo tired. I kept falling asleep at work and I just knew that I was. I did have bad cramps and also bad gas but then I get those before my period anyways.

This month is funny because I keep thinking that i feel pregnant but I am on the Nuva Ring so I know it isn't possible. I did put it in a day late but I doubt it because Dan and I have had sex like 2 times in the last month and one of the times was last night.

I'm very irregular with my periods - usually I have approx 23 day cycle but since I came off the Depo in December I've been anywhere between 14 days and 27 However, a week today will be day 24 so I will test then.

It could just be because I've had a kidney infection and now have a cold so I am feeling off anyway but I know DH and I did the deed when I was ovulating because I can feel when I ovulate.

What am I hoping for? I would LOVE to be pregnant! It's funny because the only reason we didn't use a condom is...and this is a weird one...I was lying next to Tony (my husband for those that don't know me) and he was fast asleep. I had only just come to bed when I must have nodded off because I 'heard' a voice say, "If you do it now you will have a boy, he will be called Samuel and it will be the best thing that's ever happened to you". My eyes popped open and I thought, "Alright then!" LOL. So hubby had a nice wake up surprise

So that's my weird story.

After all that I'm probably not bloody pregnant but hey, if a voice tells me to have naughty sex then who am I to argue!

ok, if you are pregnant that will just be crazy!

also, when i first read this i thought "if she's pregnant i bet it's another boy."

hmm...
