For you Grads. . . I'm TTC and at the point in time that I could be getting a BFP any day now ( 10 DPO).

Did any of you experience a very heightened sense of smell as one of your very first symptoms of pregnancy, very early on? Maybe even before other symptoms or before you got a BFP?? I'm thinking that the embryo may have implanted already and has started messing with my hormones and causing my heightened sense of smell, but that I might not have enough HCG to test a +.

Or is this maybe a PMS symptom? Any advice?

I got my first BFP at 10 dpo and when I was 9 dpo I ate almost a whole plate of spaghetti from olive garden (huge plate!) where I use to only eat maybe a quarter of it so I thought that was weird and that same day when I woke up I felt like I had done a million sit ups and I even asked DH a little later on if I had done sit ups the night before and just not remembered it and he thought I was going crazy because I hadn't. That only lasted that one day though and then I didn't get any actual symptoms until I was about 6 1/2 weeks along. Good luck hun and let us know how the testing goes!!!

Hm....
I did have very very weird food cravings today along with the sense of smell thing. I ate soooo much for lunch, and it was a bunch of weird random crap. Then I just HAD to have a corned beef sandwhich with mustard around dinner time haha (very weird, I never eat this or want to. . .and the need for mustard was SO STRONG lol)

Anyways, I just don't want to think it's because I'm pregnant and get my hopes up when really I'm just being a PMSing fatso hahaha

I had a very strong sense of smell, i dont think it started until after my BFP, but i could be wrong. I do remember it happening very early on though, and is still with me and very annoying!! lol

Good luck!

I didn't notice any changes in eating or my sense of smell until much later.

Popping my head in here - YES! Def had an increased sense of smell, tried to dismiss it but then got my BFP so I knew it was for real!

YES DEFINETLY.....earliest symptom was me smelling a lovely perfume of flowers 4 houses down the road. Told DH and when he finally smelt it also he laughed and said 'maybe your pregnant'....i said 'no way man'.....after 3weeks i got a positive
