when....

....is the earliest symptoms start showing?

I thought it would be about 3-4 weeks BUT last night me and OH were talking about when i fell pregnant and it seemed i was getting my symptoms from about 1-2 weeks - is this possible, it was only the 'popping/air' in my tummy but i must have only been around 1-2 weeks and it carried on up until i M/C. is it possible?

I think they say around 4wks so when your AF is due, but having said that when you TTC I guess you can pick up on the signs earlier than that.

How are you doing hun?

I can remember at 6 dpo I was extremely tense and burst into tears when my oh walked in the door from work - when he asked me what was wrong I can remember saying "well Ive got the the worst PMS I have ever had or I am pregnant cause I have never felt like this before!" 3 days later I got my BFP!

Good luck hun!!

i remember with my last pregnancy I actually walked out og the house in a strop and left DH with the kids all day.
When I finally went back he was in tears and begging me not to leave etc.
A few days later I told him I thought it was just a bad bout of PMS !!!!!

tbh about a few days after ov i suffered terrible crampin and extreme nausea, so yes i do think u can have symptoms that early.

I can remember walking around Sainsburys about 6DPO and feeling really rough, a bit like I had a bug coming on. However, once I got my BFP it really wasn't until about 5/6 weeks in before I started feeling tired and sick.

It's a difficult one, as the symptoms of pregnancy are so similar to the lead up to AF its easy to get them confused. You do hear about these women who don't realise they are preggers until they are 20 weeks! Not sure how but it does happen.

Hey Girls

I remembered that I wrote down my possible symptoms every month when I was ttc (11months). Here are my notes for the month I got pregnant. I only kept notes after ovulation. Also I was taking progesterone pessaries to help conceive.

September
N.B PROGESTERONE

6dpo 14.30 Feeling hormonal. Was fine this morning and now people are just pissing me off. Breasts getting bigger but not sore yet. Grrrrr to the world. Very short fuse.
7dpo Very vague twinges in lower belly, breasts begining to get sore down sides. Hormonal again - progesterone?

8dpo No cramps, well very subtle twinging, sore boobs - great mood!

9dpo Big temp dip today. This happened when I was pregnant so I am hopeful it's implantation but still very nervous. Praying my temp goes up tomorrow. No twinges just sore boobs but no more than normal. Obvious twinges on commute home. Would have thought AF was on her way if it had been day 12/13. Was a bit hormonal this afternoon.
10dpo Managed to resist peeing on a stick. Painful boobs today more than sore. No other symptoms.
11dpo Positive!! Clear blue digital I'm pregant!!

Okay, a few symptoms and general body stuff since above. Day 12 serious cramps was very scary as felt identical to period pain. That was the worst I have had it but it tends to be in the late afternoon and I have had twinges throughout. Now 4wks 3days and still have them most of the time I can feel something going on, I quite like it now. I've been suffering on and off with abdominal discomfort higher in stomach which feels like some sort of indigestion. I have to undo my jeans at work. Today 4.3weeks I have started to develope painful nipples (yay). Not too tires yet.

Didn't start getting a bump I could feel until 17weeks. Bump only showed to others in clothes at 20 weeks.

Also here are my symptom notes from the Feb before. I unfortunetly m/c'd that one but symptoms are still interesting. This is before I was taking the progesterone pessaries.

Feb

6dpo Feeling a little hormonal. Vague cramps.

7dpo Feeling more than a little hormonal. Very negative and pissed off. Vague cramps/ clenching feeling in lower uterus.

8dpo Nothing. No cramps, well very subtle twinging - great mood!

9dpo - Nish!! + Big temp drop has put me in a stinking mood!!

10dpo - No symptoms. Faintest of faint thinest of thin blue line on hpt. Feeling hopeful but not sure.

Pregnant!

m/c @ 7 wks

I would think you could get symptoms once the egg is implanted as then it starts releasing hormones into your body. I think when you're TTC you are more aware of changes in your body, so that helps. When are you going to test?

I think they say around 4wks so when your AF is due, but having said that when you TTC I guess you can pick up on the signs earlier than that.

How are you doing hun?

thanks girls!!!

im fine thanks skairdy - just dont know how to feel at the moment though, i have gone extremely moody this week and having the popping and air sensations in my stomach as mentioned above and dont know if it could be that i could be pregnant or that im just waiting for AF to show up - i just want one of the other to show!! grrr other than that im fine darlin - how are you? dont seem to speak to my ol' pal much these days
