TTC and waiting....!?

Question

So we are TTC and I think we BD at the right time... and now we are just waiting! I want to know ALL the very early symptoms the moms out there had early in their pregnancy. cramping? temp changes? I know everyone experiences different things and Im interested in hearing all of them! Thanks

Answer 1

I had fever (37.8C) at 7 dpo (that went away next day), following with coughing & phlegm, pee more. I also experienced slight cramp on  & off even until now. Bbs were sore only 2 days before AF due date. Test positive 2 days ago, (4 days past AF due date)

Answer 2

YAY another friend in the tww I am 7dpo and trying not to look for symptoms at every turn but I can't help but do a little happy dance when I feel like I am going to throw up or when my b***s hurt ( I know it's just weird to be happy about discomfort) Oh well I have one more week: )

Answer 3

Well first I missed my period. Frequent urination.Then I started to have food cravings. I could smell anything from miles away. I got dry itchy skin.Terrible headaches at times. Sore b*****s and excessive saliva in my mouth.Of course my temperature was 100 degrees or more when I checked every day. Indigestion,heart burns, toothaches, gum and nose bleeds were all apart of my early pregnancy signs.Every woman experiences different.Good Luck to you.

1. Food cravings. Yes, it's a cliché, but food cravings sometimes can be a sign of pregnancy. Don't rely on them as a sure symptom (it may be all in your head, or even a sign that your body is low on a particular nutrient), but if cravings are accompanied by some of the other symptoms on this list, start counting the days from your last period.

2. Darkening of your areolas. If the skin around your nipples gets darker, you may have successfully conceived, though this may also signal a hormonal imbalance unrelated to pregnancy or be a leftover effect from a previous pregnancy.

3. Implantation bleeding or cramping. 3. About eight days after ovulation, you may experience implantation spotting, a slight staining of a pink or brown colour, as well as some cramping. This is caused by the egg burrowing into the endometrial lining. You might also see some spotting around the time you expect your period.

4. Frequent urination. Once the embryo implants and begins producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), you may find yourself going to the bathroom more often.

5. Fatigue. Feeling tired? No, make that exhausted. High levels of the hormone progesterone can make you feel as if you've run a marathon when all you've done is put in a day at the office. Fatigue is a hallmark of early pregnancy, though probably not a surefire symptom on its own.

6. Tender, swollen b*****s. If you're pregnant, your b*****s will probably become increasingly tender to the touch, similar to the way they feel before your period, only more so. Once your body grows accustomed to the hormone surge, the pain will subside.

7. Altered sense of taste. You may notice that your sense of taste changes. Some women say they have a metallic taste in their mouth, others that they cannot stand the taste of coffee, tea, or a food they usually like.

8. Morning sickness. If you're lucky, morning sickness won't hit you until a few weeks after conception. (A lucky few escape it altogether.) But as early as a couple of days following conception, you may begin feeling nauseated and queasy. And not just in the morning, either -- pregnancy-related nausea can be a problem morning, noon, or night.

9. A missed period. If you're usually pretty regular and your period is late, it's worth trying a pregnancy test. A missed period is the surest sign of pregnancy in a woman of childbearing age who usually has regular periods.

And finally...

10. A positive home pregnancy test. If you've waited to test until at least the first day of a missed period and a blue line appears in the test window, you're most likely to be in the family way. Make an appointment with your doctor to confirm the good news, and head on over to our pregnancy area.
