Early pregnancy symptoms from real women

Common Questions and Answers about Early pregnancy symptoms from real women

pregnant

Avatar f tn Pregnancy symptoms happen due to the build up of hormones created BY the pregnancy. Therefore, most women take time to actually have real pregnancy symptoms. Around 6 weeks to 7 weeks is the average time women start to have pregnancy symptoms. This was like clockwork for me with both of my pregnancies. If you were just newly pregnant and it is right around when you'd normally have your period, it is doubtful you could attribute any of those things to pregnancy in my opinion.
Avatar n tn well, if it's been 4 days you wouldn't be feeling any pregnancy symptoms yet. you are probably stressing yourself out, which can make you actually feel pregnant. you're going to have to wait at least a couple weeks to take a test. the earliest most women get a positive is at 3 weeks, but i've seen women who don't get positives until way later. the best thing to do is relax, if you miss your next period, take a test and go from there.
Avatar f tn Maybe? If you're testing too early, the pregnancy hormone may not be showing up yet. Women can spot all sorts of colors in early pregnancy; it's normal and just makes life more confusing. I can get nasty nausea and dizziness with PMS. Most women don't get morning sickness till they're about six weeks. (I've had a queasy stomach earlier than that though.) Can you talk a little more about the timing?
897362 tn?1318121281 I am at 8 weeks and I really have NO symptoms...and have had a previous miscarriage...and a full term pregnancy. So, hang in there. Symptoms come and go..its normal......dont stress!
Avatar m tn re also not feeling pregnancy symptoms. At soonest they start a week after ovulation, when implantation occurs. Even then most women won't notice or have them until around 4+ weeks of pregnancy. This is just because the hormone is high enough then to cause symptoms. (usually they peak or get strongest in weeks 6-9) It's probably illness or something you ate. Might even be PMS. It's most definitely not pregnancy though.
Avatar f tn From all the info you posted it looks like you ovulated on the 16th- which was perfect to have sex the 15th. Many, many, many women test too early. I have heard about women that test negative, then get a positive after 8 weeks past their next due period. It is hard waiting, but hang in there. It takes a while for the hcg levels to go up. Hope you post a positive soon!
Avatar n tn It's too early to take a test at this moment though I'm due for my period the 17th and will be taking one the day before. For the past week and a half I've been experiencing headaches, cramps that go from normal to moderate and then go away for a while, nausea at all times of the day and i dont know why, motion sickness which has never happened to me before, acid reflux, my sense of smell is amazingĀ (my boyfriend looks at me like I'm crazy when I ask "Do you smell that?
10877228 tn?1416678187 Can you have symptoms of pregnancy as early a week before you are due to start your period? If so what coukd the signs be???
Avatar n tn All women have Braxton hicks starting at 6 weeks and up to the time real contractions kick in. Most women do not feel them until later in pregnancy (if they feel them at all)!
787566 tn?1240283057 I had previously posted a question about how early in a pregnancy can you experience a miscarriage. Now I am wondering how early after conception can one start to feel symptoms of pregnancy? As early as within the first week?
Avatar n tn m 4 wks 5 days today and I keep getting told it is super early for any symptoms, but my lower abs have felt achy for almost a wk now...nothing awful but somewhere between crampy and just a dull pressure. I've also been exhausted and peeing up a storm (sorry if tmi). Is it all in my head?
Avatar f tn Ur still very early so some pregnancy symptoms may not show up until later on. But everyome is different. Some have nausea some dont. And your baby is still a very tiny little thing at this time. U may have spotting later on but as long as it isnt heavy or just a light pink color, then that is normal.
307487 tn?1269604927 tested wed another positive, but started light pink spotting. all this time i start getting some pregnancy symptoms, so i am thinking i am totally pregnant. thurs still spotting and called the nurse. she said take it easy blah blah. then that night the blood turns more red and i have a couple super tiny clots. so i start freaking out and call the doc first thing fri morning. they tell me to come in. doc says preg test is very faint, can't tell by my cervix since i am so early.
Avatar f tn These symptoms differ for different women. I was experiencing my pregnancy from week 4 until about week 8 and then it completely stopped. Then during week 11, I started with the heartburn and my back has been killing me. Your experiencing the lower back pain because your pelvis is getting wider to support the baby, so it puts pressure on your back. As for the heartburn, it's pretty normal too. Just be sure that you are eating healthy.
Avatar f tn I'm wondering what is the earliest that anyone here has or has known someone to feel pregnancy symptoms? I ovulated on 2-8-10, and I'm on Clomid. I'm feeling lower back pain, and irritation, and really sleepy. But it's only been 5 days?? I've heard of women feeling symptoms early, but is this just plain too early? Thanks!
1099046 tn?1281009951 I am 6weeks 5 days, and I have had very little symptoms. Which I am fine with :) Other than my bbs sore, and am tired, I have not had anything else. A little funny feeling at times but nothing to complain about. This is my first pregnancy, I am very excited. It's still pretty early but I hope symptoms stay away. I am on my feet for at least 10 hours a day, it would make the day go by very slowly.
540515 tn?1216398193 any ideas on how early pregnancy symptoms can arise??? i am "feeling" pregnant, but i think i just may have psyched myself into it! I am soooo tired, bloated, HUNGRY, have headaches and am a little irritable. But this very well may be AF rearing her ugly head by the end of the week.....I know i only had my period on June 2...so not that long ago...but sometimes can't you just "feel" pregnant even before you know????? any thoughts????
Avatar f tn Dont worry about not having symptoms just yet, your still early. Most women dont get them till 6-8 weeks when you hCG levels get high. My nausea is not bad just enough to notice its there and to not want to eat at times. I feel you on being bloated because im the same way and most my jeans are to tight for comfort right now. Have you been to the doctor yet or had your levels checked? Any craving kick in yet? As for me i want everything that has to do with cheese or pizza.
Avatar n tn So, you would not have pregnancy symptoms or know you were pregnant three days post unprotected sex. Keep that in mind. And a pregnancy test would not be accurate at all. The earliest you can get an accurate pregnancy test result from a home test is 2.5 weeks after the unprotected sex. You may be having an off period. This does happen. It can happen out of nowhere. A hormonal shift can happen at any time and wham, our period is funky from how it normally is.
766586 tn?1284383198 Had my second IUI on July 3 and thought I would share my early pregnancy symptoms so far and hope others will as well. I checked other blogs out there and found the responses to be incredibly helpful, here goes: 1dpiui Started vacation today! Hopefully relaxation will help. Had lots of cramps and bloating. At end of day was very bloated, went for a walk and it was uncomfortable very bloated. Felt like I had to pee all the time. Went to bed, laid down for a while and felt a little better.
Avatar f tn Well, if you think you missed a period, go ahead and test although those symptoms do not sound related to pregnancy. In fact, and you might remember this from when you were pregnant before, true symptoms take a while to show up because they come from the hormones of the pregnancy which take a while to accumulate enough to cause symptoms. That is why nausea starts at week 6 to 7 for most women. White bumps on breasts are unrelated. The cramping and hunger could be signs of pms.
