We are ttc this month and im already noticing every tiny change in my body lol. When do the actual symptoms usually kick in, before the missed period or after? Curious to know everyones experience.
I started feeling unusually fatigued during my morning walks around week 5, which was my first real clue. I only continued light walking and gentle stretching after my gynac gave me the green light, so listen to your body and don't push yourself if you are feeling exhausted early on.
Beta, symptoms can start as early as a week before your missed period, usually with mild cramping or tender breasts. If you feel slightly nauseous or tired, try drinking warm ginger tea and getting plenty of rest. Don't strain your body and avoid lifting anything heavy.
My MIL actually guessed my pregnancy even before my test because I was sleeping so much and feeling dizzy in the afternoon! For most of us in the family, the mild metallic taste and food aversions started around the 5th or 6th week, just after the missed period.
For me, extreme fatigue and breast tenderness started around week 4 itself, which I initially confused with pre-menstrual symptoms. It's also a good idea to get a basic check-up done early on, because symptoms like extreme tiredness can also be related to thyroid fluctuations, which need timely doctor advice.
Some women feel it within 10 days of conception, but for most, the real nausea and vomiting start after the 6th week, haan na. Every body is different, so don't worry if you don't feel anything early on. Just wait for your missed period and do a home test.
