For anyone who has been pregnant before...how soon after conceiving did you start feeling "pregnant"?
I'm TTC and curious.
Thx

I had a positive test 37 days after the first day of my last period and I started feeling crampy and flu like on day 33/34 and then started the sore breast and thought it was a late period but I tested just in case and got a positive.

Hi H2O,
I had my little boy 2 years ago. Ironicallly, it only took me 2 weeks after going off the pill to get pregnant (now I am not having that luck.) Anyway, I didn't really feel pregnant at all in the first trimester. The only reason I found out that I was pregnant is beecause I missed my period. I almost didn't even test because I was sure that my body was just finding a natural cycle after having been on the pill for so long.
The only thing that I think was even remotely related to pregnancy was that one day I was extremely tired. I now know that it was most like the time that my baby was implanting. I worked out in the gym one morning and fell asleep in the car on the way home - good thing my husband was driving. I slept for almost 24 hours straight. I didn't feel sick or anything - just exhausted.
After that, I just went on as normal.
So, it's hard. Now that I am TTC again, I look for all sorts of signs. I mostly know when I am not pregnant because my body is very predictable when I am about to get my period. I get a pimple almost in the same spot every month and have a hard time sleeping in the 5 days before AF comes.
Good luck. Have fun BDing.

Thanks for the responses. It's weird how different women have different symptoms. I am experiencing a lot of twinges in my abdomen and belly, very nauseous. I have also been feeling an odd sensation in my lower back and have been very tired lately - even falling asleep during times I wouldn't normally feel sleep, like early evenings after coming home from work.
I haven't eperienced implantation bleeding or anything like that. Will wait for my next period to see if it shows up and if not I will take a hpt.

I'm 15 weeks, and I still don't really "feel" pregnant. Early on, all I had was a late period and period-like cramps. I never did get morning sickness. I didn't have the super sore pregnancy boobs until I was around 10 weeks (and it only lasted for a week). All I did have was fatigue (lessening a bit in the 2nd trimester) and now my belly is growing, and I'm gaining weight, but I still can't say I really "feel" pregnant!
