Hi ladies. I have been off BCP since May 2002 and I started charting in June 2003. No luck yet. I am really confused this month because my breasts are tender earlier than usual but not extremely sore. However, my fertile time was only last week (I think anyway). I am afraid I am talking myself into thinking I am PG. Does anyone know how early you can start to feel symptoms? I think it is just wishful thinking though!

Thanks ladies!

I think on Parentsplace homepage there is a "Ten Signs To Tell if You're Pregnant" or something along those lines....click that and read the signs....If I remember correctly, it says something about how the majority of women don't notice signs (or real ones at least! lol) until their period is due or late. I think we mostly imagine signs (or maybe that's just me?!!) that we want to attribute to being pg. when really, it's too soon...but then again, every woman is different for sure!!!! Good Luck to you, I hope you are!!!!!!

I think most agree that you can have *real* pregnancy symptoms after implantation, because that's when the hormones start kicking in. That is usually around a week or two after conception. But these symptoms are very similar to PMS so it is hard to distinguish them, and some women don't have symptoms at all.

I agree with chanda about when pg symptoms start. I was 13DPO before my real symptoms kicked in. My doctor said that was even too early, but she wasn't hugging the toilet!! My earliest symptoms were PMS-like and I felt like I had a UTI around 7DPO. So I just thought I wouldn't get a BFP that month.

Everyone is different and I wish you the best of luck!!
