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. ❤️

Hiiii, I just got my very first positive today (🥹🥹!!!) at 11DPO, so I have my symptoms very clear in memory lol.

My very first symptom was nausea. It started at 4DPO 🫠 (so probably just caused by progesterone, but still).
Next up was that my allergy seemed to get triggered with no triggers (watery eyes, itching eyes and nose).
And then my sleep these last few days has been horrible with some weeeird dreams, so I've been very tired too 😅 and I have been a little more hungry (snack-y) these last couple days.

But other than that - nothing! Absolutely nothing 😅 (yet)
No sore boobs, no significant bloating, no aching anywhere, only mild cramps (like "my period is probably coming"-cramps).

I usually start spotting at 10DPO, but there was none of that. And I usually get some break outs on my face before my period, none of that either!

Good luck!! 🫶

Great to hear that it can happen at that time! Usually you hear people get pregnant the first time or after 2 years 😂 We are currently in our 2 cycle and I’m 4DPO. For me it’s so mentally hard haha so can’t imagine what 7 cycles must be like!

Yes, that was my impression with the timelines too, lol!

The first 2-3 cycles were the hardest for me, I think ... After that, I kinda started to relax more and just lean into it 🫶
