~~My only symptom of pregnancy in the first week was that I was more tired than normal I also had sore nipples.~~

Good luck to everyone waiting! JJ xxx~~

~~This Pregnancy was unplanned i missed my period without no symptoms. I had a postive test when my period was about a week late. I have not had any symptoms as all so far.~~

~~One week before AF was due had cramping and needed to use the bathroom more often. I had my first positive test with an internet cheap test at 7dpo (very light) and got darker, Had positive with first response at 10 dpo. Now 5 weeks I still need to use the bathroom more often and have darker nipples although no sickness as of yet. I had acramps at 10DPO. I felt crappy and VERY PMS-ey by 11 DPO. By 12 DPO, my bb's were so sore, it hurt to take my bra off.I felt like I was coming down with something but I still thought it was PMS. Mid-day at 13 DPO, my bbs hurt so much that I had to poas and it was a BFP!~~

~~I spotted light brown 11dpo and a little on 12dpo but then it went away instead of getting worse like it usually does. This month my PMS wasn't as bad as it had been in the past.Most of my symptoms didn't start until after my BFP which was the same day AF was due. My temp spiked during O, climbed higher, had an implant dip.CM remained cloudy.Same as pre AF CM.Maybe a bit tired . had major bloating.metallic taste in mouth.~~

~~I started having cramping differnt than AF - like more localized from 5dpo-10dpo. I got my bfp at 9dpo. My period was late by a week before i had a positive test, at about the same time i started to get sore breasts (especially in the night) and I stated to feel sick. Don't give up hope after a negative test!. I am 9 weeks pregnant now. ~~

~~There were alot more bathroom visits from about 2 days before AF was due, I also had a couple of bouts of feeling light headed and weak for about a week. 3dpo: Twinges on the left side - felt like someone was pinchind just under my skin 3-8dpo: Nothing 8-10 dpo: felt slightly sick when i smelled some cooking 10-12dpo: no longer feeling sick but started having ALOT of creamy CM +BFN 10 dpo 13dpo: BFP ! no realy new symptoms apart from creamy cm? 16dpo: BFP : some slight sickness (feeling) and creamy cm.~~

~~I did not know i was pregnant until i missed my period - we were trying but had decided to have a break as it was such a stress each month. I knew when my period was due and when it didnt arrive i tested (would have been around 13 or 14dpo) i had a very dark positive line appear straighr away. No symptoms until about 2 weeks after this. I can't believe i am finally pregnant!.~~

~~one week before my period was due i started to get shooting pains under my arms and tingling in my nipples this continuted for the first few weeks of my pregnancy, other than this i never had anyother symptoms - not even any sickness.I had a positive test the day my period wad due (34 day cycle). I was charting my temps, CM and CP. After O temps stayed steady until 8 dpo when they started to rise very steadily for the next 4 days (in very clear steps each day) After 4days they stayed the same almost exactly each day i took it. On the 4th day (12dpo)i had my first positive test although I think it would have shown up earlier than this if I had tested as it was quite dark. My cm was sticky until about 10 dpo when i started to get Egg white type again. CP was the same as every other cycle.~~

~~ I just knew right from about 3 or 4 dpo that i had done it this cycle (my 4th cycle trying) i started getting really creamy cm from around 12dpo and tested on 13dpo with a really dark positive line, no other symptoms until i was closer to 6 weeks~~

~~ 4dpo i had cramps which lasted around 4 or 5 hours, now i am sure that these were implantation cramps although at the time i assumed it was too early for any symptoms. From about 9 dpo I had really noticable bumps all over my nipples and at around that time I started to feel a little dizzy when i stood up. At 10 dpo I had a negative test and then again at 11 dpo (clearblue) then on 12dpo i tested again  with first response and it came up a really clear (but faint)positive straight away.~~

~~ i wasnt trying for a baby and missed my period without even realising but when i started to throw up i took a test and found out i was pregnant (i was 7 weeks when i found out I am now 30 weeks).So my only symptom was at 7 weeks which was sickness all day everyday.~~

~~I charted my temps on fertilityfriend which meant that i was really sensitive to any changes in my cycle, i noticed straight away that something was different when my temos just kept climbing steadily dya after day, I was so excited i took a test (internet cheapie) on 8dpo and of course had a negative HOWEVER the very next morning I tested again with the same kind of test and had a really faint positive (9dpo) I had no symptoms at that point other than the temp rise whereas normally my temps are steady after ovulation then go down the day before AF~~

~~sore nipples, sickness and lots of bloating!~~

~~My first pregnany my main symptom was being really lightheaded on and off for about a week before AF was due. Most cycle I tested really early but this cycle I left it because I was convinced we had missed my fertile window, well AF never came and about 16dpo I tested and got a really dark positive line.~~

~~ The very first symptom I had was that my cm never went dry again after O instead it stayed creamy and stayed that way for most of the first 3 months of my pregnancy~~

~~ cramping, and a really bad mood from day one. It snapped at my oldest for no reason and started getting really tearful. I was recording my temps just on a bit of paper by my bed but even looking at that you could tell my temps were higher than average after O - charting really does work!~~

~~ There were no signs at all for me, we had only been trying a few weeks when I missed my next period~~

~~ I kept a record of mine since I was always obssessing about symptoms. 5dpo - shooting pains that lasted a few minutes but felt really unusual. 7 dpo sore nipples when I rolled over in bed they felt almost like burning again this was only brief but something really different to anything i felt before, 8dpo sore nipples again this time in the shower, 10dpo negative test BUT had a line which came up after the time had gone, i dont know if this was an evaporation line or if this was my first positive. 11dpo negative clearblue digital. 12dpo cried for pretty much no reason and once again extar sensitive nipples when husband tried to touch them! 13dpo finally faint positive with first response.~~

~~My cat wouldnt leave me alone and started sleeping on my side curled up near my tummy , I think she knew something I didnt!~~

~~my boobs seemd to grow and i was more aware of them than before they seemd like they were ballooning up to me!. i also had a little bit of gaggin at certain smells like nappies which is not something I had other than during my other pregnancies~~
