I am currently 10 weeks pregnant, and my earliest sign was feeling super sleepy all day and having a metallic taste in my mouth. Did anyone else get that weird metallic taste? It was so strange!
According to my pregnancy tracker, early signs include mild bloating, breast sensitivity, and mood swings. Tracking your basal body temperature can also show a spike if you've conceived. It's amazing how much the app helps you notice these small changes.
My mother-in-law guessed it before me because I was feeling dizzy in the morning! She said morning sickness and fatigue are the oldest signs. Home tests confirmed she was absolutely right.
Having PCOS, my periods were always irregular, so a missed period wasn't a reliable sign for me. I noticed unusual breast soreness and extreme fatigue instead. Since our cycles are tricky, don't rely only on symptoms, take a blood test to be sure.
For me, it was suddenly hating the smell of coffee and craving sour pickles out of nowhere! That food aversion hit me even before my period was due. Food always tells you first, haha!
Scientifically, the earliest signs are implantation bleeding, breast tenderness, and fatigue due to rising progesterone. My doctor told me these can occur even before a missed period. But the most reliable sign is always a missed period followed by a positive test.
I was overanalyzing every single body change during my two-week wait! I felt light cramping and thought my period was coming, but it turned out to be early pregnancy. Try not to stress too much, wait for the missed period to test.
