Hey Ladies,
I am not pregnant, well I am on the wait to do a test so i am unsure. But I just wondered what made everyone do a test? What sorts of symptoms were you having? I don't know if this is me just being anxious but the last few nights i have had really bad sleeps and it has taken me ages to get to sleep, doesn't normally happen for me, especially if i am really tired. Last night i even felt like i was going to be sick so i had to sit up to make the feeling go away. I have noticed i am also eating a lot more than usual... we will see i guess. Sooo what about you? Dani

My earliest symptoms were sore boobs and lots of peeing.
I also had an ambiguous sort of symptom both times which was a very 'heavy' feeling in my uterus, like AF was going to arrive any minute, but of course she didn't! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

First time AF was late.
2nd time, I had spotting and AF didn't arrive so I tested as that was weird for me. |

With Jack my sister gave me a massage and said I was way more sensitive than usual and I couldn't remember my last AF so I tested.
With Caprece I woke up one night feeling so sick so I tested (BFN) and then tested again a few days later and I was preg. When are you late for AF? I'd test then if I was you. |

My boobs were 'tingly' so I tested. We were trying so I knew when I'd ovulated and was about 10dpo (got a faint positive that early). -------------

We were trying so I was waiting to test anyway. But the month I fell pregnant, before I had tested we'd bought McD's and were driving home and the smell of the french fries made me want to puke. I love maccas so I suspected something must've been up. This was 10 dpo and I got my positive the next morning. -------------

With Ollie I felt constantly tired and nausous (sp?). I'd had what I thought was a light period so didn't suspect I was pregnant until I was about 6 weeks.
With this one we were trying so was waiting to test but I had fairly similar feelings. All the best! I hope its a BFP for you  ------------- DS 8 DD 6 DS 4 DD 2 |

My gums started bleeding when I brushed my teeth! That was the earliest sign, then of course missed AF and then sore boobs ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I had the same as JD, bleeding gums and then tiredness - so bad that I would want to stop walking to sleep. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was much the same as Peanut! My first symptom was realising AF was late...i'd felt like my period was about arrive and never did, when I checked the calender I realised I was a couple of days overdue.
The sore boobs and morning sickness didn't kick in until closer to 6 weeks. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I went off the pill and then about 6 weeks went by and no period ... I didn't think I could be pregnant so soon (especially as I had been diagnosed with PCOS and didn't have regular periods off the pill) but I took the test and bingo!
Once I learned I was pregnant, I realised why I had been feeling so tired all the time (like really sleepy especially in the afternoons) but I hadn't noticed anything abnormal apart from that. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was tired and having broken sleep so I put that down to lots of overtime at work. The first sign that really made me realise something was up was waking up with boobs that were about 2 sizes larger than normal (and then having them go down by lunchtime only to reappear the next morning) -------------

This sounds silly, but my first symptom was my teeth, they felt furry and yucky even an hour or so after brushing! At about 3 weeks I started feeling small waves of dizziness.
I also ate my body weight in tomatoes with salt (ok, not quite, but many many tomatoes hehe) Waited until AF was late before testing, I wanted to be sure I would get my BFP. Very faint line, but still a BFP  -------------

Af was a week late, I couldn't stomach alcohol at all, the smell made me vomit, I got the worst thrush you could ever imagine, my boobs were extremely sore and I was still in denial that I was *actually* pregnant as I kept getting BFN's!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

one of the women at work asked if I was pregnant as she'd noticed I was really hungry! that made me think that maybe my sore boobs and sudden dislike for blue cheese were significant! i didn't expect to be pregnant - first month of trying. me and DH were in shock for about a week after getting the positive result! ------------- Mum to two wee boys |

With my first, I had no idea, even when AF was a week late I was sure I wasn't preg - but I was! With the gremlins it was just a "feeling", with this bub I woke up in the middle of the night about a week before AF was due and I was like "My boobs are giant - uh oh, I'm pregnant!" But by pregnancy #5, baby #4 I'm kinda in tune with the process. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

We'd been trying and AF was late but as it was 4 days late the month early I didn't want to test and be disappointed. In the end I decided to have a test because I had a feeling it would be positive. No other pregnancy symptoms until a couple of weeks later. ------------- http://lilypie.com">   http://lilypie.com">

I never kept track of AF, so didn't know if it was late or not....had no idea.
I was so so tired, I can not explain how tired I was, then the nausea started....I thought I must be getting a bug, so I went to GP and tested BFP. |
