| Just wondering if anyone had any early symptoms of pregnancy like before a missed period, and what were they? Thanks |

Well I wish!! I had no symptoms what so ever, except a missed period. It wasn't til the day after I found out that they all hit me at once, and I was already 8 weeks along lmfao. -------------

| We were trying to get pregnant, but I had all my usual pre-period symptoms (pimples, cramps, being cranky), so thought i mustn't be pregnant, but I was! |

i had one leaky breast, but they were quite tender too... mild cramping from at least a week before my period was due.... gagging while cleaning teeth.... general ill feeling which put me off some food.... and i did have a slight blood streaked discharge after going to the loo once... i kinda just knew and i kept testing but was too early and they kept coming back negative! the symptoms got worse from about 8 weeks for me..... didnt have the usual change in vaginal discharge for quite a few weeks.

Aching breasts and feeling REALLY tired. The last two times I have known from about 4 weeks which is ridiculously early and makes for LONG pregnancies. At least with the first I didn't know until 8 or 9 weeks. ------------- |

There are tests available that are supposed to be able to give you a result as soon as 4 days before your period is due...
Just be aware - there are people (I'm one of them!) who don't get a postive result until two weeks or so AFTER their period is due. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

I second that - beware of the early tests!! I got a wrong result too, and didn't test positive until just after my period was due. If I did it again, I'd have tried to wait until then to test in the first place. ------------- Andie |

I was also warned against early testing because it can pick up pregnancies that don't eventuate...ie it may test postive but you get what appears to be a normal period 3 days later. Sometimes it's better to be blissfully unaware and just assume that it's a period rather than an early miscarriage! (speaking from experience)
I had what I thought were my usual pre-period symptoms and only realised that I was late when I worked out I'd stuffed my dates! Didn't think I was pregnant either but guess what? I was! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

i would try to wait until you are a week late. with jack i tested the day before AF was due and got BFN, then tested again 2wks later and got the BFP.
this time i tested 2 days late and got a very faint 2nd line..patience just isn't me 
i didn't have any symptoms at all either time except the missed period. i agree with maree, finding out at 4wks makes it a very long pregnancy!!  ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

I had a feeling I was pregnant as I was about 3-4 days late and I had sore breasts plus a sore back. I did a pregnancy test and the lines were pretty faint but that was the first time I had experienced this as from past experience tests were definitely negative. I went to the doctors the next day and it was confirmed then  ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

I only had one major symptom - I felt really really tired. A few days before I tested positive (which was at about 5 weeks) I was sitting at my desk trying hard to keep my eyes open at lunchtime! I suspected I might be pg and asked my friends who had been and they all said "well are your boobs sore"and i said "no" (infact i didnt get sore boobs till 4 months or so) and they all said "then you are probably not" - thats the thing, symptoms are so different for different people...
I htink that instinct plays a huge role as well - I just had a feeling...and I know heaps of people who have been the same! ------------- Mrs Frantic Baby Maddisyn born 28 Sept 2006 http://lilypie.com">

Now that I look back on it, major tiredness was probably my biggest symptom as well. However, I didn't realise why, since I had been unemployed for five weeks before starting my job and thought it was just my body adjusting to a new routine ! My period had also skipped a month, but that had happened before, so took absolutely no notice of it LOL ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

| Uhm i tested at 10DPO which was 4 days before my period and my test was dark, however i was on fertility drugs and i dont know if that helped it along but when i had my beta done at 14DPO it was 270 which was rather high lol and that is about when the m/s kicked in lol |

I was REALLY tired but put that down to working in Melbourne for a week, had the sore boobies also but put that down to period was due (due the day before I left NZ). It was weird but I just "knew" that I was pregnant. I waited until the following week when I was home with DH before we tested, then I only got the vertical line (not a cross) so ended up calling the Customer Service number on the packet ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I was really tired. I even fell asleep at work I mentioned this to my friend and she suggested a test. My period wasnt even due for a few days but the test was a positive.------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

i just knew....used my psychic powers lol. Actually the way i knew was cos i put my hand on my belly in the shower-ive been pregnant twice and each time i instinctivly do it before i know.
Then (with caitlyn) i thought "uhoh" then "ow" (touched me boobies) and looked in my diary where i used to write P when i got my period....ooooh last period was on the 23 august....and its now 1st october?" hmmmm maybe id better be off to the chemist lol . And as soon as the test was positive i got tired, morning sickness and bad skin |
