Just wondering if those who have been pregnant more than once had pregnancy symptoms before they found out they were pregnant, and if those symptoms were different for each pregnancy?

[humnck]

I have been pregnant 3 times, with 1 live birth. With the 2nd and 3rd my breasts were extremely sore, with the 3rd, I was extremely tired, with all 3 I was nauseous, but the most with my DD as I progressed into the end of the 1st trimester. I was extra hungry with the last one, eating like every hour so I wouldn't feel like vomiting. The symptoms I had before I found out were nausea and sore breasts...HTH!

For me, the sleepiness was always a big hint. But more subtle things I noticed each time were digestive (I would get super gassy), and an increase in CM that was creamy, slightly yellow.

Nausea and hunger varied each time. I have never really had the sore breasts thing as a symptom.

[humnck]

Oh and last time, I had serious heartburn, something I have never had! And the super sniffer - that was how DH figured out I was pg with DD...I smelled a jar of spaghetti sauce from 2 rooms away...hahahaha!!

[cheeky_monkey]

is it possible to be pregnant without any symptoms at all? sorry if it's daft but I've been pregnant only once.

[.:Shortcake:.]

All my pregnancies have been mostly different as far as symptoms go so it's hard for me to say. The only real consistency had been exhaustion.

very consistently I have been nauseous before I get my BFP. I also get the exhaustion but it takes a little longer to set in.

Yes a lot of women get zero symptoms!

argh I don't know what happened to my AF. I'm techinically late (usually AF shows up 12 days after trigger) and today it is 15 dpt. Up to two days ago HPT was stark white. I have zero symptoms, just a little bit of sore breasts (nothing that gets in my way) and occasionally some flitting lower back pain. I don't know what is going on. I email ob 2 days ago and he never got back to me I'm feeling kinda lost

I hope this is it for you! Maybe you need a blood test! Sometimes the at-home tests don't work. Fingers crossed! KUP!

What is making me feel that it was a bust is the fact that I have zero symptoms and the two times I tested (Sunday night and Tuesday Night), both were stark white. There was not even a hint of a line. On the other hand all the time I took the trigger and didn't get preg it never failed to go past 13 days. A friend of mine told me that it can take up to 16 days so I guess I have to wait and see what is going to happen.

[humnck]

Can you try taking first thing in the am, if AF doesn't show? Some women don't have symptoms at all, so I really hope this is the case for you! Do you normally have sore breasts with AF?

Nia, sorry we hijacked your post

[cheeky_monkey]

Oh dear! Nia I'm so sorry as well!!!!

The only time I managed to ger pregnant i had all the classic symptoms: sore breast, nipples hurt like they were being crushed and pulled out at the same time, enhanced sense of smell, insomnia, nausea if I didn't eat every two hours, became a big baby as I was crying over nothing all the time and things tasted different and had loads of cm. This time around I barely have cm (the bit I have is clear) and I can't say that my breasts are sore, just a bit tender. Nothing smells differently, am not crying and there's no pain.

Ugh I think I must be over analyzing myself

I had zero symptoms with DD until about 7 weeks I think. With my pregnancy that I lost, I started having symptoms right away. Maybe it was all in my mind but I was nauseous a day after I O'd and stayed that way until I lost all of my symptoms at around 6 weeks.

[cheeky_monkey]

Do you remember what cd you tested on when you had no symptoms pls? I'm on cd 29, around 13 dpo (I think). Up to 2 days ago tests were negative I'm scared of getting another negative.

[humnck]

Anna, I can totally understand being scared of a negative. I can't help with the no symptoms thing, but if you are scared and want to save your tests, give it another couple of days and try testing again if AF hasn't shown (which I am hoping she doesn't!). If you are still a week or two late and that is abnormal for you, I would call your doc and have them do a blood test. Could be your cycle is just a little longer this time, even on Clomid. Did you say you used OPK's?

[Doodle_Jr.]

I tested on the day AF was due. The only reason I tested was because we had plans to go out that night and I wanted to know if I could drink or not. We had been TTC for 2 years so at that point I was kind of not thinking about it.

I have a friend though who kept getting negatives until AF was 5 or 6 days late.

[cheeky_monkey]

That is my plan; wait until Sat (it will be 16dpo (I think)) and see what happens. I am late when compared to the usual clomid cycles. On my own I get AF on cd 31-33. I don't have any idea of what is going on. If AF won't come I think I'm going to test on Sat and then phone the ob and see what he says.

Nope. I stopped using them coz i never get 100% positives with them. I have to trigger to have an O, otherwise nothing happens.

Could she have had a late O? I doubt I O'd late coz with the trigger there is a maximum of 48 hours till O'ing (I think) and 4 days after we stopped DTD. It's been more than 2 years now and it has become kind of a chore to try rather than something enjoyable.

[*SamF*]

I'd call and ask fro a blood test. Some women don't excrete a lot of hcg in their urine. Fingers crossed this is it for you!

[cheeky_monkey]

Lol DH is laughing at me coz I told him that I think that I might have brainwashed AF from coming coz I've spent the major part of this cycle telling him 'Oh dw this month AF will not come coz my eggie and ur swimmers are gonna go on a 9 month date so AF will have to disappear'.

I doubt he'd send me so quickly to do a blood test Sam. He knows how much I panic when I have to do those that the extra stress takes me to a nearly pass out levels, without actually passing out. Plus it takes them about an hour to take enough blood to fill a vial

LOL Too funny!

Anna, when you give blood, do you drink a lot of water first? That may help with shortening the time it takes to fill a vial...unless there is another issue that causes that.
