What were the earliest signs of pregnancy that you noticed?
Other then waiting to miss a period I'm trying to think of what to look for and take a test. It's important that I find out as quickly as possible so if can know BEFORE missing a period that would be great.
I will have to get on a treatment once I am pregnant so I can carry to term.
Thanks :)

With both of my kids I got sick right away. I didn't know I was pregnant until a few months later with my daughter and a few weeks later with my son. It felt like I had the flu, I was jusy horribly sick feeling all morning (and all day with my son). And some foods or smells that didn't bother me before would have me running to the bathroom when I was pregnant, going to the grocery store was hard because the meat smell was terrible to me, where as before I was pregnant I didn't even notice!

Thanks :)
My first pregnancy I didn't really get much morning sickness at all. But I did gag all the time. I don't remember when it started though.

Hi TiffanieC,
I never got any forms of morning/day/night sickness at all. For me the early signs were that my boobs hurt, and I was REALLY tired! A pregnancy test called "First Response" can detect the pregnancy harmone 5 days before your missed period!

Thanks, I think I'll check on Saturday. If it says no then I'll wait to see if I get my period. If not, I'll take another test. I think my cycle is 29 days so if I don't get it on the 31st then I will take the test again like I said. If a few days after that (maybe Monday the 6th) I still don't get my period (assuming all come up neg.) I will go to Dr for a blood test.

Sounds like a plan TiffanieC, please keep me posted. First Response pregnancy packs come in single and twin packs here and it is actually cheaper to buy the twin pack. Not sure what the choices are like in your area, but I highly recomend the First Response test! Good luck!

hi TiffanieC, Purple is right about the really tired feeling in the first stages of pregnancy...I didn't get sick at all but I felt nauseous...Also I noticed mood swings like the ones that you can get before your period and it never came...You can also be really moody in the early stages with hormones all over the place...

I know Im pregnant when I get a super strengh nose. A week before my missed period I told my husband that just about everything smelled. I lit candles and sprayed fabreze. Nothing would help. I was so sensitive to horrible odors that I would have to sit outside for fresh air. I thought my husband was getting sick because the smells did not bother him. Then I found out I was pregnant and it all made sense.
