First signs of pregnancy

My friend had absolutely no symptoms at all. Not even her taste preferences changed. She only found out she was pregnant after a significant delay.

I would just collapse onto the bed after work and sleep, as if all my energy had drained away.

My first pregnancy began with such extreme fatigue in the evenings that I could barely stay on my feet. By 10 p.m., I would simply pass out wherever I was and sleep until morning. This was frightening to me. Once, we went to the country house in the evening, and my husband had to carry me from the car to the second floor and put me to bed—I didn’t even wake up.

Then came nausea and changes in taste. The main thing was that all this time my stomach was cramping so much that I felt like my period was about to start any moment, either that day or the next.

The next two pregnancies were similar, except I didn’t feel as drowsy, and severe morning sickness started from the 5th week.

It feels like my period is about to start, but it never comes. My breasts are swollen, and I feel sleepy or constantly tired. I might also be really craving some specific food.

I also have increased fatigue by the evening and a low-grade fever, 37.1 - 37.3, with mild chills. My breasts have become swollen and painful to the touch.

The first and last sign of pregnancy was a missed period.

There were no others throughout the entire pregnancy - nothing ever twinged anywhere, and there were never any unusual cravings.

The doctor said that's what's called a normal pregnancy, without any pathologies.

Four days before my missed period, my stomach started to feel tight. I thought my period was coming, I was constantly sleepy, and my breasts were swollen and sore... I might have had a fever, but I didn't check.

I slept practically on my feet and ate like a horse.

My chest is sore and there's a tingling sensation below.

sore throat, chest pain. well, that was the first 2-4 weeks. what comes next...I don't know...

My first pregnancy went by almost unnoticed, except for some food cravings. But this time is completely different, perhaps because of my age, as the gap between them isn't small. I'm only 5 weeks along, but every morning I feel nauseous, get dizzy during the day, have a pulling sensation in my lower abdomen, my breasts have enlarged, and I'm constantly sleepy. Although the pregnancy tests are still negative!

Are you sure you're pregnant?

Causes of false negative pregnancy test results

1. Low-quality test

2. Pregnancy is at an earlier stage than expected (possibly due to an irregular menstrual cycle)

3. Pregnancy complications (ectopic pregnancy, missed abortion, threatened miscarriage)

4. Stale urine sample

5. Low concentration of hCG in urine due to high urine output or urine collected during the day

Every bone and joint in my body was being twisted inside out! It felt like I was being taken apart and put back together again! From the very first days, my chest started hurting, and I couldn't stand any kind of perfume! Then, after about two weeks, I, a sweet tooth, stopped craving sweets! I couldn't even drink sweet tea! After that, I began losing weight right before my eyes because I could only eat sour things and drink tomato juice!

My stomach and lower back were hurting as if before my period, but there was no nausea, and I kept craving juicy fruits. Around 2-3 weeks, I suddenly felt terrible and lost consciousness—it was awful. After that, I bought tests and took them both in the evening and the next morning, and both times they showed two lines!!!

Girls, during early pregnancy, the temperature might be 37.3, there could be a pulling sensation in the lower abdomen, and anxiety similar to before exams... I'm running to the bathroom frequently and even had heartburn a couple of times. All this happened right during ovulation days... Has anyone else experienced this? There are still 10 days until my period.

My stomach was pulling as if my period was about to start; on the first day of the delay, I had to go to the bathroom very early. As soon as I got up, I ended up lying down on the floor and it seems I even passed out for a few seconds. And my breasts started hurting so badly—you know, it reminded me of that pain when my breasts were just starting to grow during adolescence—and this was about a week before my period.

Hello girls, please advise me. I already have two children, but my husband and I want a third. We've been trying for a year with no success, and now something is happening to me that I didn't experience with the first two. My nipples are incredibly sore, as if they've been chafed, my lower back and lower abdomen hurt like before my period, and I'm constantly dizzy. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm afraid to check because if it's not confirmed, I'll cry—I'm tired of waiting. Thanks if you respond.

Girls, please help me out!! On May 6th, I had my first sexual encounter... initially without protection (and even then, he went in and came out right away). On the same day, we had protected sex using condoms, everything was fine, nothing broke.
After that, I started feeling nauseous in the mornings, had back pain, headaches, stomach and breast pain, and experienced pain sometimes in the right, sometimes in the left ovary. On May 16th, there were a few drops of brown discharge, and on May 17th, my period started (exactly on time, no delay at all)... but it wasn't like usual: dark red, burgundy, scanty... it only lasted 3 days. What could this mean? Could I be pregnant? My cycle is 32 days, and the sexual encounter was on day 20 of my cycle. I'm afraid that when we tried for the first time, pre-ejaculate fluid was released, since you can get pregnant from that, and the guy said there was a little bit.

I'm already working myself up thinking this is implantation bleeding and so on.

OLGA, I've had sore breasts for two weeks now, aching in my lower back and back, and rare but noticeable dizziness. It's four days before my period is due, and I'm afraid to take a pregnancy test. Girls, what do you advise?

In non-pregnant cycles, I found lots of symptoms, but in the pregnant one, there were almost none. Unlike in regular cycles, my breasts only swelled five days before my expected period. There was nothing else. Truth be told, the pregnancy ended at 5 weeks... so with any slight pains, go to the doctor immediately!

All these signs are no proof at all! I have these symptoms every month and no pregnancy comes of it whatsoever!

Hey girls, can anyone who's been through this share? How long after sex do pregnancy symptoms usually start showing?

Hey everyone. So here's my situation, I need some advice. My period started on January 10th. I bled for two days, and then had brown discharge until the 18th. On the 19th, my breasts started hurting so much I couldn't even wear a bra. I took a pregnancy test and a faint second line appeared with a pink trace. My areolas darkened significantly, as if they were outlined with a pencil. A line from my navel also appeared. I kept taking tests, but now they're negative. I went to the doctor for an ultrasound and they found a corpus luteum measuring 11/8 mm. I occasionally feel a slight pulling sensation low in my abdomen. I have terrible weakness in the mornings and even feel a bit nauseous. Please, any advice on what this could be?

Girls, please tell me, I'm two weeks late, feeling very tired, going to the bathroom often (to pee), and the test shows one line. Could it still be possible that I'm pregnant?

Hello! Has anyone experienced this situation: no periods for two months in a row, and the tests are negative. The question is: is it possible that this is pregnancy?

No, it's cystitis and self-suggestion.

My first sign was clear discharge. Usually, that's normal during ovulation; before menstruation, the discharge becomes thick and white. And during pregnancy, after ovulation, it doesn't change. That's exactly what happened to me. It's a very accurate signal, I can confirm.

And I often have a rumbling in my stomach and it hurts for just a few seconds a day, like before my period, and then it goes away after about 5 seconds. My breasts hurt like before my period, I didn't even think they wouldn't come, but then they started hurting strangely—I took 5 tests and all had 2 lines). My period was supposed to come this week. The test never showed pregnancy if it wasn't there, so either it's not, or there are some issues and this is an exception. I'm going to the doctor on Tuesday. Seems like it's already 5 weeks)

Hey girls! Can you tell me if I'm pregnant? A week ago, I started having frequent liquid bowel movements, painful urination, so I thought it was cystitis, but then I began falling asleep on the go, my taste changed, I'm constantly dizzy, I start yelling for no reason, I'm freaking out. What should I do?

Darya, is there a missed period? Have you done any tests?

I started having strange dreams at first, and my breasts began to hurt. But that's always how it is for me with PMS, so I didn't pay attention initially. Then at night, I began getting up to go to the bathroom many times—that was the first warning sign. And then suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on the lower left side, like an electric shock. There were 4 days until my period, so I decided to take a test just in case, and there were two lines. We're 5 weeks along.

Congratulations to all you gorgeous pregnant girls! But something strange is happening with me))) My tastes haven't changed, I think, but 4 days before my period, I had a twisting pain in my groin in the uterine area, so I thought my period would start, but no, Noshpa saved me) My body temperature is holding at 36.9-37.3 (I don't feel it). My nipples were tingling, it feels like I'm about to breastfeed)) Tell me, could I be pregnant?

Why does the stomach hurt in early pregnancy?

Here's my situation. I had a two-week delay. My period came and went as usual. It's been almost a week since it ended, but strangely, my breasts have started to hurt, my ovaries are aching, and my lower back is sore. Basically, everything feels like it does during my period. So I'm wondering what this could be—I won't be able to see a doctor until next week. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Two-day delay. Only headache and slight lower abdominal pain. And nothing else.

I didn't take the test, and I go to the bathroom often.

"Alla said: I often have a rumbling in my stomach and it hurts literally for a few seconds a day, like before my period, and then it goes away after about 5 seconds. My breasts hurt as they do before my period; I didn't even think they wouldn't come, but then they started hurting strangely—I took 5 tests and all showed two lines. My period was supposed to come this week. The test has never shown pregnancy if it wasn't there, so either it's not, or there are some issues and an exception. I'm seeing the doctor on Tuesday. Seems like it's already 5 weeks."

Good day! You mentioned that you started hurting strangely; how does that strangeness manifest??? I just really want a baby, but I don't have any signs except for some weird cold (one day there's a temperature and a runny nose, the next day nothing) and a strong craving for pickled tomatoes.

Future or current moms! Are there any signs of pregnancy in the first 10 days of pregnancy?

Yes. I feel like sleeping.. and craving salty things (I ran to drink pickle juice in the mornings like a crazy person haha)...

Hi everyone! I was on a long business trip where I experienced a hormonal imbalance (my period lasted for a month). It's been two weeks since my period ended, and I've started having severe breast pain, diarrhea for over a week now, which makes me afraid to eat, a temperature of 37°C, and frequent headaches. Could I be pregnant after a hormonal imbalance and having had intercourse right after my period?

Could you please tell me what this might mean—I have a lot of chest pain and feel sleepy all the time, I wake up feeling unwell every morning, and it seems like I'm getting a sore throat? But I'm not nauseous and don't have much appetite. I don't have children and I don't understand what's going on. My husband and I use protection.

Please advise: I'm experiencing frequent headaches, nausea, heaviness in the lower abdomen, fatigue, a basal temperature of 37-37.2°C, and my period is already 4 days late. I've had hormonal imbalances before and unfortunately don't know if my hormones have returned to normal. My boyfriend and I don't use any protection at all.

Same here :(

Hello everyone, could you please help me out? I've had a temperature of 37-37.2°C for four days now. I measured my basal temperature—it's 37°C. My period is due in four days. I took a test, and it showed one line (((((. Also, I feel like my lower abdomen is pulsating. My doctor is on vacation... Could these be signs of pregnancy, or should I not get my hopes up? Has anyone experienced something similar? Thanks in advance.

So, did your period start??... I have exactly the same symptoms and still 4 days until my period....

Good evening :) No, it hasn't started, and I don't feel it coming... Measured my temperature again, 37.1 :) The doctor referred me for an hCG test, I'll go take it tomorrow, I hope everything is confirmed :) Couldn't resist and took a test, unfortunately it didn't make me happy, I think it's too early... So the only option is the blood test :) When I find out the result, I'll write back :)

будем надеяться что месячные и не придут))) у меня тоже температура меньше 37 не падает уже неделю... только что была на улице как бросило в жар, потом в холод, муж домой забрал с магазина на машине, думала сама не дойду, вся мокрая, а на улице мороз.... может это тоже симптомы... но думаю вдруг себя накручиваю, от желания что бы это было правдой, боюсь потом разочароваться... месячные должны быть 29го.... сегодня тест сделала как и у вас одна полосочка... будем надеяться что скоро их там будет две))

да, будем))))) завтра результат хчг даст конкретный ответ) и дай бог чтобы он был хороший))))) за вас тоже надеюсь))
