My period is few days late and i feel thoda different, slightly nauseous and tired. Im not sure yet, haven't tested. What were the earliest signs you all noticed?
Apart from a missed period, I experienced light implantation spotting and mild nausea. When I called the hospital coordinator at Cloudnine, they suggested waiting for 5 days after my missed period to do a home test for accurate results. If it's positive, they can guide you to schedule a beta-HCG blood test.
The most obvious first sign is a missed period, but many women also notice sore breasts, fatigue, and mild cramping which feels like periods are coming. These are due to the sudden rise in progesterone levels. If you suspect you're pregnant, a simple urine test at home is the best first step.
I am planning my pregnancy right now and checking my body for every little symptom! It's so interesting to hear how different the first signs can be for everyone, from fatigue to mood swings. I can't wait to see what my first indication will be.
With twins, my first indication was extreme exhaustion where I was falling asleep on my office desk! I also had a super heightened sense of smell—I could smell my neighbor's cooking from three houses away. If you feel like a sleeping beauty who hates the smell of garlic, you might want to take a test!
Honestly, I felt incredibly bloated and my breasts were so sore that even wearing a soft bra felt like torture! I also got super annoyed at my husband for just breathing near me. If your period is late and you are suddenly crying over spilt milk, go buy a test strip, girl!
