Early Signs of Pregnancy

Hi ladies! I have been hearing and reading a lot on early signs of pregnancy but was specifically wanting to ask if you guys noticed any subtle changes or feelings right away that made you suspect that you might be expecting? I have read different things and then people tell you different things about no this could happen or this might happen but I am curious if you guys could tell me things that did happen for you. I read that spotting is normal so thats why a lot of women miss this sign thinking they are not pregnant. That hasn’t happened for me but then someone else told me thats impossible and any bleeding is bad. So Im confused and would prefer actual examples.

Did anyone feel cramps as if their time of the month was approaching like normal but it just never came? Its been like that for two weeks now, everyday I suspect I have gotten my peers but nothing! It just feels like it so I am hoping that is the start of some good news! Please pray for me!

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

Many prayers for you.
I was cranky and annoyed most of the time. Oh and I would feel exhausted.

Many prayers for you!
I have had the experience of spotting with my first two children … It was only in first months though.
As for cramps, they are my best friends :smiley: and never leave me alone.

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

Yup!! First time around, four days before AF was due I was cramping and feeling like it was going to arrive any second. That was enough to make me suspicious so I took a test with FMU next morning and positive!

This time, I had no symptoms and no signs of AF. Took a test the day before it was due on a whim, saw nothing initially and walked away. Came back ten minutes later to throw away the test and was shocked to see the pink line!

When were/are you due? You can test three days early with the First Response Early Result test. Just use FMU. If you’ve already missed your period though, you can test any time of the day.

I didn’t have any symptoms, but i detected pregnancy soon after conception. for some reason, i just knew i had conceived because i felt ovulation pain 2 days after the incident. test was positive exactly 2 weeks after conception, i used EPT early response kit. ultrasounds confirmed the gestational age, i was accurate to the date of conception.

Oh wow Bella! My date was today actually but I am still cramping like it’s coming but I usually have spotting before so this time nothing. I took a test and will continue to take one every morning till my doctors appointment.. It came out positive but it’s only the first day. But I don’t feel different, sick, tired nothing except feeling hungry all the time! My systems just a little off because I’m staying with my parents for a couple of weeks in terms of sleep but that’s it.

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

I was either hungry or sleepy all the time. We took a longish flight before finding out, and my husband was really alarmed at how soundly i slept throughout, and then was ready to go to bed as soon as we got home :cb:

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

test is positive for ovulation or pregnancy?? I Have never used the ovulation kit thing so i don’t know. But in order to conceive, you should start TTC from a couple of days before the expected ovulation and continue till the ovulation, but don’t wait till you have already ovulated. Once the egg is released, it doesn’t wait that long in the tube, and if there is no sperm in the fallopian tube already, you wont conceive. sperms can take a while to travel up there. they can live in the body for upto 5 days or sometimes even more, and if its already in the fallopian tube before the egg is released, chances of conception are much higher. i know for me, the ‘act’ was at least 2-3 days BEFORE the actual ovulation. I remember this for a fact because i got very sick with flu right after that time, and couldn’t even ttc after that one day. so try before too, not just on the day of O. im not sure if the kit tells you if you’re about to ovulate in a couple of days or if you already ovulated.

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

Thank you!!! Is it weird to feel paranoid that anything I can do will put me at risk in this time? I still don’t really believe it I guess until the doctor herself shows me proof. But I’m trying to be safe. Even picking up my computer is making me paranoid and I’m never like that. I posted this thread before I had taken any tests and now things changed so fast!! I’m glad I can share it with you guys because I’m just dying to tell ppl but am being told to Just holdddd onnnn

Re: Early Signs of Pregnancy

the less anxiety you have, the better it is.

oh, and you can believe it! a positive test is a positive test!
