I know many of us already are having some "fun and fabulous" symptoms. So let's hear it. What weird stuff is your body doing now that's your growing a tiny human?
I know how insane this sounds. I legit knew I was pregnant at about 3 weeks. My body likes to tell me immediately by making me have to pee uncontrollably every 5 minutes. Same thing happened with DD. So I started testing. Weeks before I got a positive. The crazy bladder has slowed now. I'm sure it will pick back up again in a few months.
Otherwise, I get worn out and sleepy easier than normal. And I have been getting slightly nauseous in the evenings.

I have a rash all over my back? I'm going to the doctor today to get that checked out. The OB won't even see me so I'm hoping my PCP can help.
Other than that I'm starting to just feel really off. Like borderline nauseous. Yesterday I literally ate all day long. I'm peeing constantly but I'm also trying to really up my water intake so there's that. And I'm still constantly tired. Bedtime has permanently moved to 8:30 or 9:00 for me.

My husband called me out on being pregnant because he tried to make a move twice and I turned him down. Complete loss of sex drive... Same thing happened with #1.
I am also peeing every 5 minutes, sore breasts, waves of nausea all day/night, and so sleepy.

Oh I forgo to say my boobs are huge. I'm already up at least one cup size if not two but still shoving myself in my same bras. DH likes to comment on at least once a day.
mustloveerica my back breaks out when I'm pregnant. Only the top portion (like shoulders), and I have never had breakouts on my back before.
Pregnancy is weird.
Unfortunately it's not a break out. It's incredibly itchy. Started out as one bug bite looking thing and has now exploded into a full blown rash thing. It has me pretty worried because I of course googled it. Stay off of google, people.

Today is my first day of MS. I think it's also a little bit nerves/panic of not wanting to get sick and I have a very large wedding to bartend tomorrow.
Boobs. Filling up my bra more, some sensitivity depending on the time of day or if they get touched.

My boobs aren't as sore as I remember them being with my other pregnancy's, but they are getting bigger. Super bloated abdomen. The all day nausea started yesterday. Prior to yesterday I only had nausea in small waves. I also get waves of heightened smell, and things that previously smelled good to me (like coffee) do not!
So far, I'm just tired. I usually watch one of my dvr'd shows after our son goes to bed. And I haven't made it through a show once this week. And I'm not peeing more often, but when I gotta go, move out of the way!
Last time, the tougher symptoms didn't start till mid 6 wks. So I got alittttle bit more time.
Add me to the sore boob club. Serious bloat, nausea and headaches 24/7. I got sick with DD once, but I've already been sick with this one 3 times. I'm so tired all the time.
Also very tired, a little dizzy, and grouchy. Today I was feeling really sorry for myself and then tried to turn my attitude around a bit and told myself that symptoms are good right now. It worked. A little.
I knew I was pregnant days before my test turned positive because of heavy, sore boobs and the vivid pregnancy dreams. My boobs and nips are still sore/sensitive and the fatigue is setting in. Dreams are as crazy as ever.
I'm just excited that the morning sickness hasn't kicked in! *knocks on all the wood* But honestly, the symptoms make me feel "better" because I feel pregnant. After a loss, any/all symptoms are welcome because they're reassuring!

When I was pregnant with dd I got pityriasis rosea. It starts out as a "Harold patch' / just one spot, and then you get more spots, usually a little smaller. Luckily mine didn't itch, but it often does. People usually get it on their trunk. It can lasts months, but is harmless. Maybe that's what it is?

I think this is exactly what it is!! That's what I found on Google. I thought it was ringworm at first because I've had that before. But treating it for ringworm didn't help and then it started spreading. It only started itching the last few days. I'm concerned because Google says it could cause miscarriage if contracted before 15 weeks. So obviously I'm stressed out about that. Again I'm trying to stay off google and stay positive.
My fatigue is no joke. I've also been having super crazy dreams. My boobs hurt and I'm always hungry.
Twins.
I wake up exhausted sometimes because my it seems like my brain doesn't turn off at night--I have the most complex, detailed, realistic dreams while pregnant.

I had mine in first tri last time too. I read the same stuff! Scared the crap out of me. My OB actually had no clue what it was. I went to a dermatologist. She told me not to worry. And dd is beautiful and healthy! I think mine lasted about 3 months.

I've joked with my H that we're having twins because I had a chemical last cycle and I've read that rates are higher the next month because your hormones are out of whack.

jellykat2 that's very reassuring. I know the PCP is going to tell me I just have to wait it out but I figure it was worth the copay just to have a doctor take a look. But I feel a million times better knowing everything was fine for you.

I don't think we are.
I don't know if we could handle that.
I honestly worry that because I felt pregnant so early and my first positive test was 3w2d, that I've got 2 babies in there. I don't think that's how twins work, but that IS how my anxious mind works, lol.

We transferred 2 embryos so there's a pretty good chance there's twins in there. I got my first squinty squinter at 3 weeks 2 days I think (or 4dp5dt or 9 DPO). We will find out what's cooking next week :-)

I also had a preg test super early - like 8 dpo. But I did with dd too.

Totally worth it! I hope that it doesn't itch too bad and I hope it doesn't last too long for you!

It mostly itches where my bra sits. So I'm dreaming of free boobing it all weekend!!!!
