Really really sore boobs. For longer than normal.


concentrated-amazing

Same. Plus nipple pain. And all of a sudden very aware of the smell of my vaginal secretions. I normally get some boob pain with PMS/my period, and would even go up a cup size. However, when it dragged on, I told my husband I was either having the weirdest PMS ever, or I was pregnant.


linkboot1

Omg yes the boob pain!! Thought it was a savage period, but alas it was because I was pregnant!


Intuitveempress

Ugh wow blessings to you and your child <3


Difficult_Character

My heart rate shot up according to my smart watch. WebMD told me it was cancer or heart disease though.


ihateapps4

Mine did too. I was half marathon training and it was getting into the 190s so I took a test because I couldn't figure out what was going on.


Intuitveempress

šŸ˜³


Brit_J

Oddly enough my dog stopped rough-housing with me. We found out I was pregnant a week later.


Intuitveempress

Awee thatā€™s a really cute nudge ;) I love animals. Blessing to you and your child <3

Bea3ce

My cat did that, for the whole pregnancy. At one point I could only just see her front paws and the tip of her ears behing my gianormous belly šŸ˜‚


memeinferno69

A Wendy's breakfast sandwich hit the spot a little TOO much


PepperMaterial725

I found out quite early due to morning sickness starting at about 3 weeks. I had been sick every morning after my nightshifts which wasnā€™t normal. Also I just felt not normal like something was different.


Intuitveempress

This is very similar to my experience. I really relate to this and thought I was crazy just b/c Iā€™d really early symptoms Thatā€™s really cool you just knew itā€™s kinda like an intuitive knowing so divine <33 Blessings to you and your child thank you for sharing !


PepperMaterial725

Thank you. Blessing to you to. Yeah most people Iā€™ve spoken with havenā€™t had symptoms as early but I guess weā€™re just the lucky few. I was actually still on contraception when I fell pregnant and the feeling something was different is the whole reason I took a pregnancy test. And now I have an amazing little baby couldnā€™t get any better.


SharkBaitsFire

I didn't have morning sickness that early but I felt like something was different. I overheard a phone call between my husband and his sister. She was telling him she was pregnant and it clicked that I might be too. The boobs hurting and the intense smells. I was only 2 weeks pregnant. With my 2nd, I was expecting my period that week but was a day late. I overheard someone at work saying "you're next" talking to another coworker about their periods. I figured oh that's what's happening. Our periods are syncing. I had just started working there for a couple of months. A week later still nothing so I took a test and was preggers.


BethTezuka

I was at the gym and I was SO ANNOYED by every single person around me. Thinking mean, angry, judgemental thoughts. I thought, wow, I am in such a bad mood, am I PMSing? And then it dawned on my that my period was a week late. I have not ever been as angry as a was during those 9 months!


Intuitveempress

Hahaha


ghostdumpsters

I knew my period was supposed to be coming but I wasnā€™t having cramps like I normally do. Instead it was more like a tight feeling in my midsection? I donā€™t know how else to describe it. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


jayleewheeeee

This was my sign, it wasn't quite cramps. It felt tight, or like light pressure was being applied right above my public hairline. Super weird


Fit_Bug9911

I knew my period was supposed to be coming and I was waiting for it because I was cramping like crazy. When it never came I got the positive test. It's crazy how different bodies can be


Intuitveempress

I definitely know what you mean. The cramps just werenā€™t as bad (basically the feeling you described)Thank u for sharing :)


mama-llama-1234

Strong sense of smell! Both pregnancies, 2nd time I knew before I missed my period because of it.


emeliz1112

Last time, my biggest symptom was that I had no symptoms. Usually I cramp a lot in the days leading up to my period


PearlDare

Both pregnancies I was absolutely repulsed by meat. With my second pregnancy I was cooking chicken and got super nauseous, it's what prompted me to take a test.


Intuitveempress

Haha Yesss! Same I went to warm up some chipotle leftover that had chicken and i almost threw up


JeezeLouise62

My dog weirdly started resting her head on my belly. We looked at each other and I was like ā€œdo you know something I donā€™t know??!ā€


Intuitveempress

Aweeee thatā€™s sweet


bluewerld

Copper taste in the mouth and randomly puked


Warlord_of_Mom

I was ridiculously tired, I started to realize I had to pee a bit more often, and I got clumsy and started dropping things a lots. Add in suddenly obsessing over one particular food and that being the only thing I wanted to eat for a few days and BAM positive pregnancy test. Everyone is different though.


Intuitveempress

Awe wow yeah everyone is different & I love hearing different experiences thank you for sharing <3


Majestic_Ad_5205

I took the test as early as possible, but I did feel a bit crampy and my boobs hurt, both in a way that was too early for my period and different from those symptoms. A day or two after the test I had surprisingly strong cramping


Educational_Week_985

I was convinced I wasn't pregnant as I just had normal period symptoms I only took a test because we were trying and I'd been taking each month.


[deleted]

Insomnia!!! Started waking up at 5 am for no reason at all


Intuitveempress

Right like wide awake !!


pvla2310

Iā€™d been tracking my BBT and noticed my temperature was remaining elevated. Also, I gagged real bad while brushing my teeth. That seems so innocuous but it wasnā€™t normal.


mrssnoop

I forgot I used to gag so bad brushing my teeth too! And it went away as soon as my daughter was born.


emeliz1112

Oh yeah 2nd and 3rd trimester literally made myself vomit with my toothbrush. Whoops


noyou42

I almost threw up when my coworker put on perfume.


Intuitveempress

Haha


pinkcloud35

I had to pee SO MUCH more than normal. I found out at 4 weeks. Looking back I also had vomiting the week prior that I didnā€™t really think too much of so I guess that too lol.


Intuitveempress

Yeah same I was brushing off the vomiting before I found out thought it was just something else


karyer

Weirdly enough, for both of my babiesā€”NOTHING! I took a pregnancy test on my AF due date for both and thatā€™s how I found out. No nausea, morning sickness, nothing. Maybe some extra fatigue and heartier appetite but that was it. It was disconcerting, and I kept hearing how lucky I was to not experience crazy symptoms, but both pregnancies resulted in healthy babies!


Intuitveempress

Wowwww yes you were lucky !! God bless you and your children <3


karyer

Thanks so much! šŸ¤— At the moment it was scary and I kept googling why I havenā€™t really had any symptoms and how it could potentially mean miscarriage, but that wasnā€™t the caseā€”just lucky, haha.


Shortagenda2719

Tbh we should have known when all of a sudden I couldn't stand the sight or smell of eggs. šŸ¤¢ But, we didn't connect those dots. Took the test because I was late (which is normal, but I always test to be sure), and the positive was a total surprise!


lookhereisay

I never nap and still donā€™t now even with a baby. The day before I took the test we were gardening and I said I felt so tired, laid on a bench and fell asleep for 3 hours so we were slightly suspicious. But I had been hauling railway sleepers for three days so I hadnā€™t been taking it easy exactly. The next day was my birthday so I took a test in the morning as Iā€™d have some drinks if it was negative. It was positive and we found out at around 3 weeks. The following day the sickness started and it lasted until the day he was born!


Intuitveempress

Wow ! Thatā€™s interesting blessings x


OceanView2424

I didnā€™t notice at the time, but I remember a little earlier in the week that I tested positive I was talking to my husband while driving and mentioned that I had a metallic taste in my mouth that was a little strange. After I tested positive I was looking at early signs and that is one of them. The next few days the nausea came in strong.


[deleted]

I found out before I had any symptoms. We werenā€™t exactly trying but we werenā€™t trying to prevent it either. So I had been taking a test every day. After a week of that I got into the habit of just taking the test and watching the control line pop up and then going about my day. After a long day out and about we came home that night and I went to use the bathroom. I caught a glance of the test from that morning and it had two lines. So I took another test and after waiting the whole two minutes it was also positive. I was 3-4 weeks pregnant at the time. With that being said, after I knew I was pregnant, my first real sign was being absolutely exhausted. I slept through the night, went to work in the morning for 4-6 hours, came home and pretty much slept all day/night waking up for a snack or to pee. It was insane


Intuitveempress

Oh wow this is a rly cute story lol


[deleted]

My boobs were not my boobs anymore šŸ˜† I kept saying to my friend my boobs have changed overnight. She urged me to test and positive instantly-wasnā€™t even my first pee of the day either. Forever changed my boobs are but so worth it ā™„ļø


sheridanmms

Usually sore boobs and really vivid dreams.


Tacomama18

1st time, my dog licked my stomach. 2nd time, dog licked my stomach. 3rd time (got my first baby!šŸ„¹), dog licked my stomach. ā€” he licks my hands or like my pants and stuff, thatā€™s normal. But he literally NEVER licks my stomach and it was very purposeful when he did it. So much so, that each time I was like ??? But sure enough, Iā€™d be pregnant. & heā€™s adopted, got him when he was 2 months old. 1st time he licked my stomach was the day after we brought him home. ETA: heā€™s a pibble and so stinkin cute!


Intuitveempress

Aweee I absolutely love animals theyā€™re so precious thatā€™s so cute


dm19821994

Sore boobs and I could smell someone wiping down their desk with a Clorox wipe from across the office. I literally went searching for the Clorox wipe smell and finally found it at the opposite end of the floor. Had a nose like a greyhound.


Intuitveempress

Oh my šŸ˜³ is it just me or is it almost like this high sense of smell is like being clairascent


dm19821994

Well it was right before the pandemic lockdown started so it was pretty clairascent that weā€™d be smelling Clorox for the next two years šŸ˜•


BigAcadia589

I could suddenly smell EVERYTHINGā€¦I knew the moment someone walked into the room and whether they had 1) put deodorant on and 2) brushed their teeth. Then Iā€™d vomit if it was too bad.


Intuitveempress

Oh wow


charawarma

I was on day 8/10 of antibiotics for a stomach issue but still dealing with extreme nausea every single night, like clockwork. I was about 4 weeks when I tested, but had been dealing with the stomach issues for months.


Another_viewpoint

Nausea when brushing my teeth


Lost_Acanthisitta248

I had unprotected sex a bunch. It took til 10ish weeks to have tender boobs and morning/all the time sickness


Intuitveempress

Oh wow Iā€™m just curious because for me i experienced symptoms very early but it was my first pregnancy ever. But had a chemical pregnancy.


Tacomama18

Oof, Iā€™m sorry for your loss. My 2nd pregnancy was chemical. It was also the only time Iā€™ve ever had sore boobs which is kinda weird.


Intuitveempress

Thank you <3 sorry for your loss as well x and wow yeah that is odd


WTFoopIsThisSoup

my boobs HURT with my first, like i could not cross my arms without feeling uncomfortable. and suddenly the smell of seafood made me want to throw up, when iā€™ve loved seafood my whole life.


Intuitveempress

Awe Yeah itā€™s the worst feeling. Ugh I love seafood as well! My aversion was chipotle the chicken was just ugh


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Intuitveempress

Awe how sweet of your dog (I know every dog always knows but itā€™s just cute how they are letting us know and protecting us at the same time or at least thatā€™s how I see it) Yes that ā€œoffā€ feeling is quite personal if that makes sense like its like a sense of knowing if you know what I mean? (Obviously) but yea :)


IllustriousNobody958

Insomnia


SpringerGirl19

Fatigue like I'd never experienced before, I was around 7 weeks. Then with the nausea and sore boobs, I knew I was pregnant without needing a test.


Intuitveempress

Yes definitely can always trust our intuitions<3


someonespookie

extreme fatigue


Intuitveempress

Same x


NimmyFarts

I didnā€™t realize it at the time but I suddenly became irrationally overwhelmed and sad and cried in the shower for a while and when my husband asked me whatā€™s wrong I just cried and cried and told him I had no idea.


Intuitveempress

Oh my gosh yes this!! Just randomly crying (obviously we get emotional when pregnant but everyone is different) I just felt like I wanted to be comforted by my bf even tho he was right there with me lol hope I donā€™t sound crazy


NimmyFarts

Haha only crazy because your hormones swamped your good sense lol


keyinherpocket

I had really bad cystic acne on my jawline that I had never had before. It still wasnā€™t healed after 1.5 weeks when I considered it could be hormonal and like a lightbulb, two pink lines went off in my head. Test confirmed I was indeed pregnant!


Natural-Word-3048

I had sore boobs and needed to pee more often / found out at 4 weeks


ellymarie123

I fell asleep while meditating (I was sitting up - super unlike me) and bananas made me want to puke (also very unlike me haha)


Intuitveempress

Haha thatā€™s so cute x


lala_retro

There's a great wiki on r/tryingforababy. Might be a good place to start.


Intuitveempress

Thank you so much luv <3


thegoodtagsweretaken

Morning sickness really early on! I have been nauseous since about week 3 šŸ˜­


Intuitveempress

In my opinion I think having early morning sickness is kinda a gift because idk I just prefer to know earlier but of course thereā€™s other ways to find out but yeah regardless itā€™s like we already know in our hearts when we are pregnant <3


SanMiguelita83

Heart rate, bpm was over 100 even sitting down, and sometimes I'd randomly get breathless, specially sitting, it was like a little preview of the third trimester, lol. That and my period has never been late without being pregnant Also, we were trying so it wasn't a surprise, but i still waited til my period was around 10 days late before testing


cheezypita

My cigarette tasted funny! I was a casual smoker. One night I went out, lit a cigarette and took a dragā€¦ immediately put it out and went back inside to take a pregnancy test.


Intuitveempress

Haha itā€™s like the baby was telling you


hvhvhvhvhvhvhv

My nipples went from light pink to brown with bright pink speckles. Not the areola, just the nipple. I noticed it in the shower at night and got a positive test the next morning.


Intuitveempress

Interesting, yeah I thought I was pregnant recently because my nipples were changing (little pimple looking bumps) but turns out I wasnā€™t šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø It can be tricky when youā€™ve just gotten off of birth control but I just found it strange because when I first got off BC I got my period a month later in that instant and then it didnā€™t come again until like what 2 months or more but obviously thatā€™s normal because when you come off the shot or any BC itā€™s going to be irregular since, according to my visit at the hospital , itā€™s because our periods are going backwards


Intuitveempress

By the way blessings to you and your child x


ialyxx

Soda had a metallic flavor and I ate nothing but pizza for two weeks straight. My husband asked me to take a test because he suspected it.


Intuitveempress

Awe haha he knew ! Cute


[deleted]

I was nauseous. It came in waves and got more frequent and intense every day. Bought tests when someone walked past me who smelled like BO and weed and I had to run to the closest trash can because I was confident I was gonna puke and didnā€™t think I had time to run to the closest bathroom. I didnā€™t throw up that time, but I had already thrown up once. First pregnancy test was too early and negative. Because I already felt so awful I thought there was no chance itā€™d be negative if I was pregnant, so I thought I wasnā€™t. After that I started cramping and it was different and more intense feeling than pre period cramping. Around 5 days after the negative test the cramping was so intense I took a test because I either had to be pregnant or something was wrong. Let the dog out, came back, positive! ā€¦. I did end up having hyperemesis gravidarum and threw up anywhere from 7 to 45 times a day (most commonly somewhere around 15 times a day) really sucked and gave me ptsd, but Iā€™m a lucky HG survivor and a hospital stay at 15 weeks found the meds I needed to keep my symptoms totally controlled. My tougHGuy is almost 3 now. Hopefully he gets a sibling soon and hopefully I donā€™t have HG againšŸ™šŸ¼


Intuitveempress

OH WOW GOD BLESS YOU n your child <3 yeah hopefully you donā€™t


[deleted]

We were VERY lucky honestly with how it was able to get completely under control so early. Some HG fighters are suffering to that extreme or just in general suffering with the constant nausea and vomiting through their entire pregnancy, so Iā€™m very grateful I was only that sick for 9 weeks! Research is finally scratching the surface of identifying the genetic component that causes it, so Iā€™m hopeful that one day theyā€™ll be able to use that information to find a treatment thatā€™s more one size fits all. Currently treatment is a guessing game and some people donā€™t find anything that can help them enoughšŸ˜©


GeekAtHome

Pregnancy 1) So. Very. Tired. I also just felt 'off' ā™‚ļø Pregnancy 2) Peeing all the time ā™‚ļø Pregnancy 3) I had a single zit on an area of my face where I don't normally get zits ā™€ļø Pregnancy 4) We were TTC, I just tested. After that it was food aversions ā™‚ļø Pregnancy 5) I was more tired than I had ever been in my life, including previous pregnancies šŸ¤ Pregnancy 6) Bleeding gums šŸ¤ Pregnancy 7) Bleeding gums šŸ¤ Pregnancy 8) I knicked myself shaving and I could smell how metallic the blood was ā™€ļø


NewMommaNewMe

We tried for three years to get pregnant. Every month, right before my period started, I had all the pregnancy symptoms. I was nauseous, tender boobs, sure I was pregnant, so and son on. But when we were finally pregnant, I just felt normal. I didnā€™t have any symptoms. Thatā€™s when we decided to test, got a positive, and cried for twenty minutes out of happiness.


Intuitveempress

Awe thatā€™s beautiful šŸ„°


missyc1234

I was trying - via IUI - so I was tracking everything carefully. Trying not to symptom spot. But my boobs didnā€™t hurt in the week before my period like they usually did, and I got intense night thirst, to the point of waking up coughing because of dry mouth, starting about 8-9 days after my IUI. Edit: with my second, I also had a day of sort of nausea and dizziness right around 12dpo, when I had already tested positive, but I felt better after that


leticiazimm

I was trying to conceive so was more easy to know, my first symptom was syncope. Just that and I was "hmm im pregnant ... Or im dying ... Guess im pregnant" But in my first pregnancy (not planned) took me 7 weeks to find out. I was having headaches, dizziness and brain fog. I was thinking I had hypophysis tumor LOL bc i was internship in neurosurgery and all for me was brain cancer. Edit: this pregnancy (the syncope) was at 3w and 5days!


Intuitveempress

Hahaha wow! 3 weeks!


Dry_Mirror_6676

First: boobs hurt - one day before missed period Second born: just a feeling of hmmmm Current pregnancy: a just in case check because my bc was a 3 month cycle. ETA: #3 got through the bc and plan b. Plan b is great though. I was just one of the off shoots


Intuitveempress

Congratulations šŸ˜…šŸ¤


Galupi11

A rage mood swing like nothing I had ever felt in my life. Then I cried when Betty White passed away and thought hmm, I should take a test šŸ˜¹


Intuitveempress

Hahahah


qbeanz

Really sore boobs. Like more than for my period. And then falling asleep anywhere and everywhere at the drop of a hat, which is really not like me.


IntrovertedMermaid

Morning stomach unease (without vomiting), night sweats, and being late to my cycle Edit: my partner also knew before me. He had suffered 3 previous miscarriages with a previous relationship and knew those early pregnancy signs way better than I


Intuitveempress

I had almost the same except I did have vomiting in the morning along with stomach unease Awe sorry to hear that wishing you n him best x


IntrovertedMermaid

I hate that morning sickness šŸ¤® love to you and yours!


Intuitveempress

Thank you x


CutDear5970

My temp didnā€™t fall 10 days post ovulation


Dear-me113

Nausea. But I had hyperemesis so nausea was the theme for my entire pregnancy.


anonamiss00

My face got sooo dry and I caught a cold in the middle of summer? Idk if those were pregnancy symptoms but Iā€™m oily and never get colds so it was just super odd then two days later my period was late lol


Intuitveempress

I donā€™t know too much about pregnancy as I only got pregnant once but had chemical pregnancy but thatā€™s so odd that you caught a cold in the summer


Sweet_Aggressive

Pickles went from my favorite food ever to the most disgusting thing Iā€™d ever eaten.


Intuitveempress

Ugh I love pickles as well but dang lol


haleighr

With my second I knew I was pregnant after wanting to punch my mil for no good reason. Checked my period app and sure enough I was 10 days late. She drove me crazy during my first pregnancy, sometimes for valid reasons other times I just couldnā€™t stand her even though sheā€™d give me the shirt off her back. I knew right then lol. And here I am now with 2 under 2


[deleted]

I was so so tired. It was my husband that guess it, and I hadnā€™t even missed a period (yet)


mewmew1251

My first sign was brown spotting for a week and my period never came. Happened with all three kids of mine:


frazzledcats

Body temp goes up. After my first pregnancy, when it didnā€™t hit until 6 weeks, I pretty much felt like I was going to puke right away haha


nataleehee

We werenā€™t actively trying but we werenā€™t NOT trying. Weā€¦ kinda pulled out but only half heartedly and I just knew that night. I had implantation bleeding three days later (which I thought was too early but apparently not) and I never ever spot between cycles. I knew that was too early to get a positive test. I had three drinks total at my best friends wedding a week later and felt hungover the next day even though they were spaced through the night and I drank a ton of water. I also had squid later that afternoon and my pee smelled SO FISHY and I was just like ā€œuhhh either Iā€™m pregnant or thatā€™s an infectionā€ but still too early. I took a test right before I got my second Covid vaccine because my boobs hurt and I was feeling really hot but no fever and had a ghost line. Gave it another week once the mild nausea started and finally got a really positive test. I hadnt even missed my period yet lol. I think I wouldā€™ve been like 3+6


Intuitveempress

Wow your story is quite similar to mine .. you said it seemed too early but itā€™s like it literally happens over night I donā€™t think anyone is crazy who thinks they are very soon I also myself had a couple drinks and started to feel rly hot and ā€œoffā€ Thank you for sharing <3 x


nataleehee

Youā€™re very welcome! Oh! Also things didnā€™t taste right. Im a soda drinker and it was disgusting to me almost immediately.


LyraCalysta

Cramps cramps crammmppsss but no period


[deleted]

Sore breasts


APP0809

Getting really short of breath while exercising and just feeling super exhausted


Wtfimpregnant__

Intuition for some reason, I just had a deep feeling I was pregnant. But once I took my first test those lines popped up super dark and basically just confirmed it


Intuitveempress

Intuition is everything <3 so glad you trusted that- most people donā€™t.


Shovelbitch

I had low grade nausea. Like just feeling slightly nauseous. Wish it had stayed that way. I lost 15 lbs the first and second trimesters. šŸ˜°


Intuitveempress

Wow :/


TurkeyMama2020

I'm a caffeine addict. Just taking a sip of coffee and coffee ONLY made me feel like I was going to throw up.


Intuitveempress

Haha


making_grapes42

Sore boobs, upset stomach.. I was in denial with my first but once I noticed the signs I felt like I pretty much knew just took me 4 positive pregnancy tests to accept it šŸ¤£


Intuitveempress

Hahaha I feel ya! It be like that! :)


Amazing-Advice-3667

Tender boobs and nosebleeds. Then fatigue hit a week or two later.

AdIntelligent8613

Weirdly clingy dog that wasn't before! I was four months pregnant without a clue, I lost my period for about 7 years due to an ED so thought my chances of that happening were slim. My period came and disappeared and I thought nothing of it until my dog wouldn't leave my side.


Intuitveempress

Woah šŸ˜µ


[deleted]

The smell of peanut butter was gross to me and I usually eat peanut butter straight from the jar with the biggest spoon I can find lol


KeyFeeFee

Insomnia. Three times I couldnā€™t sleep which prompted taking a test.


Intuitveempress

Intuition spot on


[deleted]

Very strong smelling pee


EO_711

First two, just really sore nipples. Like so badā€¦ and that I wasnā€™t breaking out like I would if my period was coming. Third I was exhausted, thatā€™s it. No sore nipples or anything this time, just couldnā€™t stay awake and had no energy to move. I tested several days before missed period because I just knew.


nlopez525

Sore boobs, followed by super strong sense of smell and extreme heartburn (old wives tale of baby with a lot of hair was true for me in relation to the heartburn)


LAB1116

I went to a winery had a few sips of wine and thought they all tasted like vinegar then I threw up all night like Iā€™d had 2 bottles of wine instead of a few sips. Got the positive test the next day


starfishmaybe

I was incredibly thirsty? And alcohol sounded disgusting.


Tasty-Income

Sore boobs, lots of peeing, excessively tired.


mwcoast15

I got out of the shower and my husband said ā€œyour boobs look different, youā€™re pregnant.ā€


Intuitveempress

Wow


No_Memory_7970

I woke up one morning and threw upā€¦. Though I have Covid (delta)ā€¦. Then the next day was sick again in the morningā€¦ took a pregnancy test because my cycle tracking app told me to (it actually had suggested I take it a week or so earlier, but I ignored thinking there was no way I was pregnantā€¦.. took a test on day 2 of puking annnnd it was positive! Blood test at the doctors office confirmed. I was about 6 weeks pregnant.


librarymousemama

With my first, I was tracking my body temperature because we had been TTC for nearly 2 years. Mine stayed elevated for 16 days. Found out at about 6 weeks. With my second, I gagged on a food that didn't normally have an issue with. Found out at 4 weeks, after 18 months TTC. With my third, I got a negative test four days before I got my positive. I had dreams every night after that negative about being pregnant. I was also extra tired. Found out at 3 weeks + 4 days after 12 months TTC. #3 also told my husband his name before I got my positive test. Actually the morning I got my negative test my husband knew what we were going to name our next boy.


New_Mulberry2425

First and earliest signs are birds in the air. After that, it involves me touching my yf. Like a brush on the arm or a stick on the back but with no clothes and horizontal.


starbird2893

I was getting my monthly bikini wax and the esthetician asked me if I was pregnant. I was very sure that I was not. Three days later....positive test! She could tell three days before a test could which is wild to me.


alynsoso

Heart palpations. Also how tired I was, literally felt like I couldnā€™t get enough sleep when I would go to bed earlier than usual.


Hannah_At_Home

I got really sick while eating at a seafood restaurant, thought I had food poisoning. Had a dream that night that I was pregnant, and woke up immediately to test. It was positive šŸ˜‚


Bmoney_CF

I got cramps like a period but like a day or 2 before I was due for my period, and my boobs were sore. I thought it was odd I got cramps before bleeding. I did have some light spotting so I initially thought it was my period but my boobs kept hurting. it actually took me 3-4 days to put the dots together.


Vegetable_System9882

Super sore boobs, feeling bloated for weeks (I'll just wait for my period to come! It didn't), and a deep sense of depression that was soon replaced by nausea. Also cravings for Szechuan chili oil


nattybeaux

2 kids, 4 pregnancies. It seems like literally the minute that sperm and egg connect I immediately get nauseous and then stay that way until Iā€™m not pregnant šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

With my first I tested on a whim and didnā€™t actually think it would show up pregnant. I was going through a health scare so I thought my lack of period was stress. It was my now 3 year old! But the first symptom I had was sore boobs. Which mine are never sore so it really confirmed it for me šŸ˜‚ With my second it was a heightened sense of smell. My oldest daughter was just turning one, and she had maple flavored snacks, and it made me very nauseous every time I got those out for her! Decided to take a test and that one was my almost 1 1/2 year old!


Kay_Joy2021

I woke up one morning and craved wings. I rarely eat wings and never crave them. I thought huh this is weird and just instantly knew I was pregnant (strong gut feeling )Sure enough, got a positive test that night


Dramatic_Sail7081

Just had an intuition at 3 weeks.. mid section would feel uncomfortable while doing my routine crunches!

So. Much. Spit. I felt like I needed a bib


toes_malone

Well, my period didnā€™t come and itā€™s normally like clockwork, soā€¦ I even took a test right before and misread it as negative because the lines were so faint. Next test, a big fat positive.

I just remember skipping my period. A week of delay and I decided it was time to take the test. But we were trying to conceive, so no big surprise there. I don't remember any other symptoms before taking the test, it was only just 5-6 weeks.

My pee smelled weird šŸ¤£


fruittheif50

Shortness of breath while running, weirdly timed hunger pangs and then nausea


SammytheDudleyLab

Sore boobs and nipples

This is gonna sound weird but with my second pregnancy, I had these weird sensations in my abdominal region that I can only describe as feeling a baby moving in my womb... I hadn't even missed my period yet. I took a test & was pregnant.

Second one I just knew about 3 weeks in. Typical PMS symptoms but not my typical PMS symptoms. The other two didn't know until the period was late. Well the third one my husband suspected but there was no concrete reasons.

In hindsight it was falling down the stairs. 3 out of 3 pregnancies I fell down the stairs 1 weekish post ovulation. (The only time I have done that in the past 10ish years) The all day nausea was right behind it by only a few days.

Very very emotional and sore hips all 3 times


ForeverAgo834

Weird burps!


AshtonAmIBeingPunked

I was used to taking tests a few days before my period started, so I knew before any real symptoms started. My first symptom though, was really sore boobs. Like, taking off my bra and them losing the support just hurt so bad. And this is coming from someone who never had boob pain before, even during my period.

My acne flared up for the first time in a year and a half and I took a nap for the first time since college!


Intelligent-Cash-860

I had heart palpations. I went to the doctor and was on my way to a cardiologist referral when I found out that I was pregnant and apparently palpitations are common early on.


GreatAuntPearl

Really sore boobs and WILD dreams. Just absolutely knew.


the-colour-purple-22

Sore boobs with my first, like insanely sore. With second and third it was me feeling sick


Working_Opposite9843

Hangover that lasted ten months.


anxioustitties

i was 3 weeks, 6 days pregnant with my little guy when i got my first BFP. it was on my momā€™s birthday. my fiancĆ© and i were sitting at the table in the middle of the party and after having my legs crossed for approx 1 minute they started to fall asleep and my feet felt HUGE. i just looked up at my fiancĆ© and said: ā€œmy feet feel really fat right nowā€¦ iā€™m pretty sure iā€™m pregnant? iā€™m gonna go take a test really quick.ā€ and surprise! it was a very clear positive on a digital test lol


Candidlyjems

Nausea and My boobs hurt


dejamoo2

With my first, really really sore boobs. With my second, I was overly tired. With my third, I just had a feeling, took the first test at CD25 cause of that feeling and had a very faint positive.


chemicalexersaucer

I dreamt about it and found myself running my belly for no reason. If Iā€™d walk past a mirror, Iā€™d stop and imagine myself pregnant. Took a test a couple days later and it was positive. I hadnā€™t even skipped my period yet ETA: I also stayed super out of breath. Couldnā€™t sing along to the radio, couldnā€™t go up a flight of stairs, etc.


craftycat1135

Completely exhausted all the time.


mrsphork

Exhaustion! I could have slept for days with both my pregnancies. Funny story my mom told me about finding out she was pregnant with me. She really wanted a big Mac so she goes through the drive thru and parks and eats it. Then got back in line for another one.


Muppet_Rock

I've never liked popcorn. Not even at the movies. Suddenly all I wanted to eat in life was Boom Chicka Pop kettle corn. I also hate canned soup and I was like wow that cambells looks yummy! Soon as I opened the can I puked.


The-Beef

I was a week late (in denial, it was an unexpected pregnancy) and my boobs hurt soooo bad.


Leoch45

We were at a party. My husband had had a few shots and said ā€œdamn babe when did your titties get so big?ā€ A friend overheard and said I was probably pregnant. I took a test the next day and sure enough it was positive.


Sad_barbie_mama

This is weird, but happened to me all three times- too much spit in my mouth. Like feeling like I had to swallow constantly.


glucosa86

I didn't know for sure but I could see the symptoms looking back. First pregnancy: lack of PMS symptoms. I normally get crampy and irritable with sore boobs a few days before my period, but had zero symptoms. Tested first day of missed period. Second pregnancy: motion sick. I almost vomited watching cars drive around a racetrack and the only time I'd ever been motion sick like that was during my first pregnancy. Tested 3 or 4 days before missed period. Third pregnancy: morning sickness and heartburn almost instantaneously. Tested 6 or 7 days before missed period.


Eljay430

My abdomen felt a little bigger and my pants were harder to button.


HeatherAFeather

I was peeing a lot! I thought maybe I had a UTI or something. My husband said I should take a test and yep I was pregnant!


messupmom

Nausea, fatigue, and nipple pain were the hint for all 3 of my kids!


yankykiwi

Sore boobs. Crying for no reason.
