Early signs

 Pregancy symptoms.

There are many different signs of pregnancy both early ones or later however they vary and everyone if different. Some people may experience them very early and get most of them where as others might not get any or experience some later on.

Normally symptoms start to show ones implantation has occurred which is between 8-12 days post ovulation. Implantation is where a feritilisted egg embeds and sticks to the inside of the womb to then develop into a baby. Reference at the end for more insight.

Some people get cramps feelings when the egg implants or can get implantation bleeding. This is very light pink spotting, it could be slightly more then spotting and redder or brown but never enough to be menstruation or for as long. Normally just one day but can last up to three days. Ones implantation has happened HCG hormones rise, which is how test work to confirm a pregnancy. It should be high enough to get a positive about 2-3 days after implantation. 

Any feeling before this are down to hormone changes and fluctuations in progresrone rising in order to conceive. Therefore around 10-12 days is the average a test will give an accurate and clear positive test. It can show up faintly before this on first response tests but also a negative could be too early and actually be positive. Therefore it is important to keep testing especially is you missed a period and getting symptoms. If tests are still negative seek GPS advise. 

Some early signs off pregnancy. (remember it is okay if you get all, some or none of these, only you know your body) 

  • Mild cramps or twinges 
  • Nauseous
  • Vomiting
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue (tiredness) 
  • Food adversion or cravings
  • Hot flushes 
  • Mood swings
  • Heightened smell. 
  • Sore breast/chest
  • Bloating
  • Frequent urination
  • Raised body temperature 
  • Implantation cramps or bleeding
  • Missed period. 
As I said these may vary and not everyone get them all or any, you may even get different symptoms to this. As I said above some off these early one can be hormones changing at first which could result into implantation and pregnancy but sometimes could not so it is best not to symptoms check. However this is definitely hard to do especially when it is planned and your waiting to take a test. When you track ovulation done an insemination and now just waiting, your mind can play tricks. It can be hard to not get your hopes up or disheartened if you do or do not get symptoms. However only the individual knows their body best and what is normal or different in their cycles. 

How I felt 

So I tried not to look into it to much told myself il wait to test until after Christmas or earliest on the 23rd which was 11 days post ovulation. It was our first donation so we knew it might not take. I am quiet intuned to my body, as a dancer I know what feeling are right or different. I had been tracking my feeling and stuff during normal cycles on an app so I could notice any changes. 

Well just one day after our donation I felt weird. I had this motion sickness feeling, like when your on a roller coaster and your stomach does that weird feeling. I was dizzy and had cramping pains. I put it down to still ovulating and just having a donation. However it contained as the days went by, in fact it got worse. I had real dizzy moments and hot flushes. I felt sick constantly and had some stomach twinges. I lost my appetite, I knew this was probably all my hormone changes and my body trying to figure out what was happening.  Meanwhile I just had this inner deep feeling I was pregnant. 

As the two weeks wait continued, I started to need the toilet more, was hot and cold a lot. The sickness and dizziness was still there. Whilst I was so early like 4 days after out last donation to. I did not want to get hopes up as implantation would not have occurred. Rarely it can happen after 5-6 days but average after 8. 

On day 8 I had really bad period cramps and pains on my right. I started getting emotional and stressed like I do a week before my period so assumed it was that. Although I never have cramps until after I started bleeding, thus that was different. I also still had the werid feeling in my lower abdominals like this fullness. I can not explain it. I did take a test and it was negative. 

There was one thing that did made me question and take that test early, so Ben had BBQ beef noddle which he has had before in front of me. I do not like them but can stand them normally. Well this time the smell made me want to be sick I had to leave the kitchen. I could still smell it hours later. Even upstairs at bed. The next day Ben cooked beef and rice for dinner. I was enjoying it but with every mouthful I felt sick. I very rarely vomited, but that night I did. But wanted my dinner which made me cry. Which again is not like me at all. 

But still early at 9 days now, everything stopped and I felt fine today, got another negative test so I think it was hormones making be get my hopes up. We just have to wait longer to see. But generally thought I was not pregnant and my shark week was due.
