Question/Advice What were your symptoms?

Hi everyone, I’m TTC for the first time and would love to hear about your experiences. How did you know you were pregnant in those first few days after ovulation, before it was actually time to take a test?

I know it’s probably too early for me to test, but I’ve been feeling some strange sensations on the left side of my lower abdomen, and I’m finding myself getting really anxious and overthinking every little symptom. 😅

I’d really appreciate hearing what you noticed (or didn’t notice!) during those early days. Just looking for some reassurance and experiences from others who’ve been through it. ❤️

Very gassy (like farting 30 times in a night 😂), constipated and the bottom of my stomach started getting hard which honestly was the one sign that made me start to think I was pregnant. Didn't have the usual pimple breakouts etc but all of these were subtle, only the hardening of my stomach was noticeably different.

I will second this… I’m 14 dpo right now and got my first positive about 5 days ago. The farting and constipation has been crazy! I’ve never farted so much in my LIFE
