When do early pregnancy symptoms/signs start?...

[MrsLloyd2B]

Hi all,

Firstly Happy New Year!

Good luck to all like me TTC this year

Just been reading some threads but want to clarify about early pregnancy symptoms...

1. What are the main signs/symptoms?
2. How early can you experience them from? - I've seen ppl say during the 2ww, whats that mean? before testing?

Just interested really

2ww = 2 week wait (between ovulation and period).

My only consistent symptom was just being absolutely exhausted. The kind of tired where you physically need to sleep during the day or you will collapse. I had light nausea with the first and constipation with the second.

Oh and the need to pee every 10 minutes as well!

These all started before my missed period.

Symptom spotting can drive you mad though, watch out!

I don't want to symptom spot i've seen some posts where some have gone mad due to symptom spotting.

I dnt expect to concieve for a long time so just looking at info want to hear some real stories really, read so many 'facts' but real stories are better!

A week before AF was due I had really 'full' feeling boobs. I usually get this the day before AF but I had it for a full week before... and then they just grew! Also a week before AF was due I became constipated as well.

My main one in the 2WW was welling up with tears over anything remotely emotional or to do with children, it was really noticable!

I got very strong symptoms about 4 days before af was due...these were my symptoms:

1. Boobs hurt, they felt heavy and my nipples were V V sore!
2. Absolutely exhausted and wanted to sleep all the time
3. Needed to pee every 30min
4. Nausea but no sickness
5. Constipated
6. Bloated and very windy!

I'd symptom spotted the month before but the real symptoms were much much stronger than anything i'd had previously. Be careful tho, you can drive yourself mad thinking you're pregnant when you're not...i did!!

Good luck!
