For those women who had pregnancy symptoms before AF showed up, what were they? How many DPO did you get them?

When I fell pregnant last time, I felt slight ill from about 9-10 DPO, from the day AF was due actually. My boobs where sore from about 4-5 DPO, but got way worse about 8 DPO. Also, my tummy was kinda hard or something. It's hard to explain, but I was at the gym on the day after AF was due, totally not expecting to be pregnant or anything... and I was doing this ab exercise... and I just 'knew'. It was so weird. Something did feel 'different' in my belly!

It's amazing how your mind can trick you into thinking you are pregnant... I know perfectly well it's to early to feel anything, but my boobs hurt! Totally normal for post-ovulation for me, but I still go 'Ooooo... maybe?!'

I just knew with Gem a few days before AF was due. The first time I was pregnant I never had a clue, not even at 11+ weeks until I got a positive test (by accident!). This time I was exhausted and just felt like I didn't want to do anything but sleep for two or three days so I tested. I was 10 DPO I think? So yea, 8 days before AF is due is a little early but you can definitely start getting some things going on then! I hope this is it for you!

I did with this pregnancy. I just KNEW I was pregnant, even made a post about it somewhere, at 6-7 DPO. I was cramping and I NEVER cramp that early before AF (I have a 14 day LP). I was more tired than usual and my CM was super creamy too. There may have been more but those are the 3 things I remember

I didn't think I was pregnant....I did record 'symptoms' during the 2WW on the first entry of my pregnancy journal (you can link to it through my siggy).

My immune system went wacky. I started feeling run down, got a bit of a sore throat, headache. Also, one of the first things I noticed was that I had veins running down the side of my belly.

I hope you are pregnant!

my nipples were sore from 3dpo with the june m/c baby, and 5 with this baby. But i occasionally got sore nipples during not pregnant cycles. One cycle was super convincing, but nothing.

around 7dpo i remember ravenous hunger. and around 8-9dpo, i didn't crave AF foods, like candy. I craved salt and vegetables.

I'm just going to post this from my journal. There is a lot! I was a little obsessed to say the least!

1 DPO: Exhausted in evening (probably just coincidence since i was only 1 DPO! )
2 DPO: Woke up feeling hungrier than usual.
3 DPO: Creamy-sticky CM. Slight cramping near ovaries.
4 DPO: Creamy-sticky CM. DTD felt really uncomfortable and even burned.
5 DPO: Exhausted. Had to pee really bad in early morning.
6 DPO: Lots of creamy-sticky CM. Exhausted. Felt very slightly nauseous when i woke up. Had to pee really badly around 4 AM. Felt like i was starting to get a UTI (but i wasn't).
7 DPO: Creamy-sticky CM. Got some sharp pains near my right ovary. I coughed once and i got the pain so bad it dropped me to the floor Boobs are a little sore when touched. Face started breaking out. Gassy. Bloated. Low back pain.
8 DPO: Creamy-sticky CM. Had to pee badly around 4 AM. Exhausted off and on. Boobs were a little sore when touched. Very bloated. Felt irritable. Peeing more frequently. Felt weak easily. AF-like cramps (very mild). DTD was very uncomfortable and felt like a burning, it felt very "different".
9 DPO: Less CM today. Exhausted off and on. Irritable. Cervix was low and closed. Boobs are more sore. Gassy. Bloated. Peeing frequently. AF-like cramps. Acid reflex was acting up, heartburn.
10 DPO: Creamy-watery CM (weird!) Exhausted. Woke up having to pee really bad. Was so hungry when i woke up it made me feel slightly nauseous. Frequent urination. AF-like cramps in evening. Slight pain around right ovary. Sore boobs. Very bloated. Gassy.
11 DPO: BFP!!! Creamy-watery CM. Exhausted. Woke up again having to pee badly and very hungry. Pretty strong AF-like cramps. Pain in lower stomach, felt like a slight burning. Sore boobs. Low back pain. Peeing often. Bloated.
12 DPO: Same as above except burning pain in stomach is gone. Slight pain around left ovary. Creamy CM.
13 DPO: Same as above. Dizziness. Gassy. Headache.

I had ZERO symptoms (other then a craving for mexican food) until I was 6 weeks along. then boob pain, morning sickness, and everything else under the sun hit.
