TWW Early symptoms before positive?
Hey guys I was just curious what your symptoms were before you tested positive? I feel different this time and I’m really hoping I get a positive finally. I’ve been trying for awhile. I used to track with ovulation strips but it got really stressful after so many negative results that I just stopped doing that and just baby danced as much as possible without tracking. I did try the Frida conception cup this time so maybe that helped ! Let me know, I’d love to know everyone else’s experience !!!

I had no symptoms outside of my usual period symptoms! I legit thought we missed out chance Lol I got a negative the day my period was due and positive 2 days later and couldn't believe it! It's definitely a process, wishing you the absolute best 💓

Thank you!!! 💓 I’m really hoping. I tested last night (I know it’s too early my period is due on the 1st) I just hate the TWW 😫

The TWW does suck! Do yourself a favor and try not to test until you miss your period! 💓 Trust me once you get a couple of negatives, you'll want to stop testing anyways. Just trust the process!

I feel this sooooo deeply! I am 9-10 DPO, period supposed to start in the next few days. I have only had what I am calling on/off mild cramping and that is it. I am trying not to go insane!!

My boobs have been feeling bigger than usual which doesn’t really happen and they kind of hurt but again this is all PMS symptoms 😞 I’ve also been having that pulling feeling that a lot of people say in my lower stomach area mainly on one side

Not what you want to hear but I didn't get any symptoms until around 3 weeks after my first positive (at 10dpo). I'm currently 7 weeks and now I have such bad nausea and morning sickness. I can't wait for this stage to be over, I heard 2nd trimester gets easier with the constant sick feeling 🥲

Good luck! I just tested positive and my gums were inflamed/bleeding and my sleep has been bad
I wouldn’t have known about the gums but one of my friends said that was her first pregnancy symptom too

Can you elaborate on the gum swelling? How much was it exactly? And which dpo it started

I’ve never had gum issues before. All of them became swollen and bled when I brushed them and flossed. It happened really early for me, like before 8dpo. The surge of hormones after a successful implantation can cause gum inflammation

I have gum inflammation since 6dpo. I am at 8dpo today. Yesterday I felt almost as if my period is about to start. I had cramps and lower back pain.
I don’t want to track symptoms but here I am 🤷🏻♀️

Had the normal luteul phase symptoms. Then i woke up one day and my boobs had a very distinctive feeling (felt it in a previous pregnancy). I had taken a test a couple days prior and genuinely didn't expect it but the moment I woke up and felt it, I knew, took a test immediately and lo and behold lol

Usually pregnancy symptoms start later than you get a positive test. Anything you feel before your period due date is most likely related to progesterone. I would recommend to not symptom spot 😊
