I'll start us off... bloating! I feel like I already look 4 months pregnant by the end of the night. It's not as bad in the morning but gets worse as I eat (carbs) during the day. Also, my sense of smell is stronger. And I'm pretty tired. Luckily not much nausea yet.
I'm still super early on, so not many symptoms here yet. I get random twinges in my ute occasionally and have some tingling/soreness in my boobs. Other than that, my most prominent symptom is hunger like a teenage boy. I'm always hungry...
I've only had one bout of nausea and that was during a long car ride over the weekend. I'm really hopeful that I wont have too much nausea this time around, because with DD I basically had morning sickness 24/7 through 13 weeks and it was not fun.
Since all of my hormones were manipulated for our IVF cycle, my boobs have grown by 3 cup sizes and a band size in the last month. They're also really sore. I'm also dealing with nausea, exhaustion (thanks, meds), super nose, and irritability. Oh yeah, and I have to wash my hair every couple days instead of once a week.
I am also on fertility medications so that is influencing everything. My boobs hurt constantly, that is probably the worst. Also increase in smell, slight nausea, am completely exhausted.
It's still really early, so I don't have too much going on just yet. I occasionally feel "gross" (for lack of a better term) after I eat lunch and sometimes dinner. And aside from yesterday's little stabby feelings in my abdomen, I haven't really felt much different. I'm sure that will change in the next couple of weeks, though.

jwinct, yes exactly that: gross! I feel gross after I eat. Yesterday I randomly started vomiting up everything i ate or drank. Today I'm luckily just nauseous. I have headaches and I'm bloated. My boobs hurt a bit but I can't really complain. And I fall asleep about 2 hours earlier every night It's kind of reassuring to feel this shit. In moderation
WittyLittle, I've been going to sleep way earlier lately too. Some nights I put my DD down and go straight to bed myself. I don't feel bad about it at all because I know down the road I'll likely have pregnancy insomnia, or at least disturbed sleep due to being uncomfortable. I'll take all the sleep I can get!
All my symptoms are from fertility meds and this nifty cold I picked up over the weekend so far. Sore boobs, exhaustion, irritability. Bloat by the end of the day.

Sleep is the best I would also go right after DS but DH makes me stay up. He has the empathy of a common house fly. His loss, I always end up falling asleep drooling on his shoulder...
So far it's been nausea, some cramping, sleepy as all what, I can smell everything, my boobs are super sore and I feel like I'm hungry all the time but once I start eating I'm full almost immediately.

I had a lot of nausea, burping, and bloating the first week in addition to terrible acid reflux. The latter bit is under control now that I'm talked to a doctor and am taking my meds properly. Nausea is gone for the moment, or at least in the form that I had it the first week. No appetite for the last few days. My breasts are a tiny bit tender.
More than anything is the bloat. I was pretty happy to less bloated over the weekend, but I think it's creeping back up on me. Part of me is so glad everything is so mild at the moment. The other part is panicking that I don't "feel" particular pregnant on my good days.
So far, I am not feeling many symptoms. A little bit of abdomen cramping, it was worse right before I was expecting AF, but now it is very mild. My boobs were a little sore, but nothing like my last pregnancy yet. I am just enjoying it for now, because last time the morning sickness really kicked in around week 6.
6 dpo some brown discharge which was totally implantation bleeding - not really sure about that one dr. google, but I could be the small % of women who experienced it...

Gods I forgot the cramping because its been less the last few days. It really freaked me out until my confirmation exam but the doctor promised it was just my ute expanding. I wanted to ask if there was a way to tell my body to do it less like I'm PMSing...

I asked Dr. Google on this one last night. Luckily it said it's nothing to worry about otherwise I would be freaking. I guess my UC puts me at a higher risk to MC. My appointment with my OB is in exactly 3 weeks but I meet my GI next week so I'll see if he can give me any information. Fun fact, that guy doesn't like me very much. I swore like a sailor coming out of the anesthesia and he was super mad.

What is he your mother? My kidney doctor doesn't really like me very much (might be because I call him docdoc and he insists he's a nephrologist... but I know better) so I guess it's part of their job description!

Lol. He's a super old conservative Indian guy. He'll probably be kinda mad that this was an almost accident. I'll pretend to care later after I nap =D

I've had mild cramping that comes and goes, which obviously makes me feel a little panicky. I had this last pregnancy too, so that eases my mind a bit. I've also had a lot of gas and I'm a bit constipated, which actually might be contributing to my crampy feelings. I've been nauseous off and on as well. Lastly, the exhaustion. Oh my goodness, I'm so tired all the damn time.

I always think that 'first tri tired' is the most interesting kind of tired. At least for me, it's not like a narcoleptic tired, it just feels like I'm almost numb. I sigh after doing small routine chores as if I just finished a major undertaking. I take more deep breaths. I feel like I'm going to pass out if I stand up too fast. The day's tasks feel like OMG SO MANY THINGS. First tri is weird. I said it last time and I still feel this way- aside from the final 2-3 weeks, I'd take third tri over first tri any day.

this post made me tired. But I get both the narcoleptic tired, and the numb, defeated tired But I'd also take the 3rd tri discomforts over this nonsense any day hahaha!

YES. To everything you said! Someone on my other BMB just used the phrase "first tri, worst tri" and that was spot on. I think I'd even take labor over first tri!

Lol, yes, I'd take 3rd trimester over 1st any day. Also, since I've cut out caffeine, I feel totally dull. I was drinking quite a bit of coffee, but I drastically cut down when we started TTC and totally eliminated it during my TWW. I miss my coffee.
Aside from constant exhaustion, my symptoms come and go. Some nausea, but no actual puking. No consistent aversions, but some food items and smells are gross. Stupid cystic acne too! Oh and big boobs that are often sore, and a very bloated belly. At least I'm telling myself it's just bloat and not all chub.
I've been dealing with nausea that last all day long. If I stay full, it's not as bad, but still there. Luckily, my heartburn hasn't been out of control like it was last time. My boobs also don't hurt at all. Not even in the least bit, which seems weird to me. I also cannot stop eating. I just want food all the time.

I'm super lucky that my boss doesn't care what I do when the kids nap. I've purposely been putting them down at the same time in the afternoon so I can nap while they nap. Otherwise keeping up with a two year old and a newly walking 10 month old would be impossible past 2:30.
I'm so tired. Doesn't help that caffeine makes me nauseous and that my entire house has been a cesspool for cooties on and off since Christmas. The blump is unreal. And my nipples are in the permanent on position. Also did not miss swamp crotch.
