We started trying this month and im suddenly very aware of every little thing my body does lol. I keep wondering how soon symptoms actually start showing. Curious when you all first felt something different?
Some women feel things even before a missed period, sore breasts, extra tiredness, slight nausea, going to loo more. But these can also be PMS, so they're not proof. A missed period plus a home test is when you actually know.
If you track your cycle on an app it helps a lot to spot the missed period quickly. I noticed tiredness and tender breasts first, then tested around the day my period was due. Apps also remind you the best day to test, quite handy honestly.
I started getting symptoms around week 5 ish, mostly the nausea and that metallic taste, ugh. Some of my friends felt nothing early on. Did anyone else feel super tired even before the test? I thought I was just stressed at work.
Earliest signs people notice are usually missed period, tender breasts, tiredness, frequent peeing, mild nausea, sometimes a bit of cramping. A home test can pick it up a few days around your missed period. Blood test at the doctor can detect it slightly earlier if you want certainty.
I felt so different even before I tested, my breasts were really tender and I was sleepy all day, very unlike me. That made me suspect. But honestly every body is different, some feel nothing till weeks later. The test confirmed it for me.
