? about 2nd pregnancy (possibly)

Do symptoms set in earlier for 2nd+ pregnancies? I’ve been experiencing a lot of weirdness the past few days but I don’t know if I’m getting sick or psyching myself out (because I’d sure like to be preggy). We had a late term miscarriage (16 weeks) a couple of years ago and I’m wondering if being a 2nd pregnancy could cause symptoms to start in early. Today I am officially only 10 dpo, but in the past 4 or 5 days I’ve been having cramping (which I never get w/o AF), massive heartburn (and what feels like a stomach full of needles?), severe headaches, nausea, more recently I’ve had a drastic change in appetite (everything I love looks/smells disgusting), increased sensitivity to smell, I literally slept half the weekend (2-12 hour nights of sleep) and still feel tired, and finally today I’ve begun to notice a pulling sensation in my pelvic area.

In all honesty, every pregnancy is different.

Start testing Wed (12 dpo), with fmu, then test everyn other day after that.

I got symptoms with my first a few days after conception.
