Ok ladies, this is totally off topic, but I had to ask!

What was your first sign of pregnancy?

I have 1 little baby boy who just turned 15 months and now I think I (might, just maybe) be pregnant!

I'm hoping I am at least!

It's too early to tell with a pregnancy test I think, but I'm going to go buy some today.

I just feel different. The first time I was pregnant I found out at around 6 weeks b/c I got morning sickness. But this time I'm having sore breast tissue and feeling strange in my pelvic region. ( These are NOT typical for me to have during or before menstruation!) So, I'm noticing this feeling is very different! Plus, it would probably be only 3 weeks or so,... maybe! I don't know how soon you can tell on a home pregnancy test!

HELP!! :0)

My fingers are crossed, and I'm excited/nervous!

    Other than morning sicknes/nausea I would say a general bloated type feeling.

    Good luck!!

    First off....I am crossing my fingers for you! :happy:

    I noticed I was tired and hungry...I know nothing you haven’t heard before. But like you said, I felt different.
    I didn’t have cravings until I was a couple of months along and I didn’t make frequent visits to the restroom either until later on.
    TOM was really light the first month I was pregnant.

    Good luck to you and keep us updated!

    Morning sickness for me. Thankfully it wasn't horrible morning sickness, just a little nauseated which only lasted until I was about 9 weeks, thank goodness!

    How exciting! Since you WANT to be pregnant, I hope you are! Keep us posted! :)

    I was one of those lucky ones that had ZERO symptoms until about 28 weeks when belly popped out. Seriously, i could have been one of those people who had birth that didn't know they were pregnant. Well until the 3rd trimester anyways. But I am so regular when I woke up the morning I was suppose to have AF and didn't I took a test and 9 months later had 10 lb'er

    GoodLuck, I'll be praying for you!!!

    First symptoms for me were always being extremely tired for a few weeks but when coffee made me sick that is what clinched it.

    Mine are so sore right now and I NEVER have this with my cycle. I took a test a few days ago and it read negative, but I know it would be probably way too early to tell on a home test yet! (At least I think... I don't know how early they can detect them.)

    It's about 2 weeks before my cycle would begin.

    Oh I'm hoping!

    My last pregnancy was the oddest. My gums bleed profusely when I brushed my teeth! I didn't even know that was a symptom til 3 weeks later when I was "late"!

    That's pretty close together-you'll be havin your hands full! Good Luck to you!

    Regarding prenancy tests - if you are somewhere near a walmart use an equate early pregnancy test as they currently require less HCG than the rest of the tests and give you a response sooner. Everyone always wants to use the digital but they take 10 times as much HCG to produce a positive result :) just an FYI

    1st pregnancy - I was exhausted. I could literally walk up a set of stairs and then sleep for 3 hours. And morning sickness :( blah!

    2nd pregnancy - I had sore boobs which is semi-normal for TOM but my biggest tip off was that I was (maybe TMI lol) extremely horny which I NEVER am and I was literally *craving* sex LOL. As soon as I realized that I ran to take a preg test and it was positive lol.

    Haha!! That's hilarous,,.. "craving"!! I will definitely go to Walmart and get some of those!! Thanks for the tip! (Plus they are probably cheaper than the ones with a beeper!)

    This is a little weird but... my gums hurt! Also I had no appetite. Wasn't sick but wasn't hungry. I had that first time around, didn't know what it meant... with my second one, when I had gum ache, I KNEW, even though I would have only been a couple of days in and WAY too early to test.

    my esophagus had gotten REALLY relaxed and I had some HORRIBLE belching episodes. I mean... I would make a trucker cry because my burps were so loud, long and guttural.

    I asked my doctor about this and he said it was because the PG hormone causes your insides to slow digestion (so the baby had time to absorb the nutrients) that my esophagus had relaxed. Since it was Christmas holiday time I wasn't able to get to the doctor until I was 5 weeks PG. So, I had the belching for a LONG time before I was able to get to the doctor.

    I can still put a trucker to shame... :)

    WIth my 1st pregnancy I had some majorly horrible abdominal pain (and that was right at being late on my period). Plus I had a really awful sinus infection that I just couldn't get rid of for like 3 weeks.
    With my 2nd pregnancy I had horrible lower back pain for over a month. It didn't matter how I was sitting or what I was doing, it hurt. So I googled lower back pain & pregnancy was the first to come up. So I looked through all possible symptoms & realized I had more than one. I took a test that afternoon & come to find out I was pregnant.
    There are a TON of symptoms that you can have, no necessarily all of them but maybe just 2-3 that stick out to you. I'd take a test for sure! GL

    Anymore pregnancy test will do 3 day BEFORE your missed cycle, but normally only gets an accurate that early with your morning pee. Probably have to wait till morning! Make sure to tell us!!!

    Posh, I am in the same boat as you, and hoping! We've been trying for 11 months to no avail :cry: It's rough because my first two were conceived by just LOOKING at my (ex) husband. Now it's much harder.... BUT, if we're both pregnant then we'd be due at almost the same time! Also, someone said something about super easy weight loss.....well you saw what I lost this week! I'd be so happy :bigsmile:

    That could be the baby implanting, I do not have children but my SIL has had some problems and I know a lot about it from her. It might be too early for you to test yet so if you get a negative dont be discouraged wait another week. Good luck, I am praying for you!
