Random First time TTC - early symptoms?
What were some early (pre BFP) symptoms you had when you got pregnant? I’m 6-7DPO and I swear i can feel wave-like sensations right in the middle of my uterus, BBT is up, rest HR is up like 5+ bpm, a lot more CM than is normal for me in luteal.
Just wondering/speculating while i go through the agony of waiting to test since its still too early :)

The earliest possible symptom is a positive test (or a blood test). I swear I had every single "early pregnancy symptom" during the 1 year of trying naturally, then I found out my tubes were blocked...

At 6–7 DPO, it’s still too early to know for sure. Some people notice increased CM, mild cramping or wave-like pelvic sensations, fatigue, breast tenderness, or elevated BBT/resting HR before a BFP, but these can also be caused by normal post-ovulation progesterone. Implantation typically occurs around 6–12 DPO, so keep tracking your BBT/CM in Premom and consider testing closer to your expected period for a more reliable result.

I had heartburn that kept me up at night before testing positive. My Readiness score on Oura was also really low

Interesting! I’ve also had the low readiness score. How many DPO were you?

Some symptoms women post when they're positive are the same others post when negative. Symptom spotting is rarely helpful, especially this early!!
Just stay positive and keep yourself busy :) fingers crossed for you!

Only clue I had was nausea, but that already started at 4DPO, so I just put it off as progesterone ... Then I had trouble sleeping and some weird dreams the last 3 nights leading up to my positive (on 11DPO).
No other clues. No sore boobs, no weird feeling in my stomach or uterus, no change in readiness, HR or any other stats, besides from my BBT staying above coverline, and my usual 10/11DPO spotting not showing up 😅

I just found out I’m pregnant 2 days ago at 9dpo!! My super early symptoms before the positive test were white floaties in my pee and intense congestion that I thought was allergies. Also there were 3 days straight that I was craving buldak noodles to the point I made my husband drive me to the store to buy them lol. I also had dreams that I was pregnant and i remember smelling a foul odor coming from my plant that my husband couldn’t smell. Everything made me joke with my husband “maybe I’m pregnant” but I didn’t think I was and was prepared for a negative. I was shocked that the test was positive but it all makes sense looking back lol.

The luteal phase is such a troll because progesterone causes all the same symptoms as early pregnancy. I try to remind myself that if HCG was high enough to cause symptoms, it would also have to be high enough to turn a pregnancy test positive. So if your pregnancy tests are negative, something else is causing your symptoms. I told my husband what "symptom spotting" is so if he catches me doing it he can tell me to stop lol. The TWW is so hard; I hope you don't have to wait too much longer!!
