For me, it was about three weeks and I started peeing ALL THE TIME!!! No sore breasts, no weird feelings, just peeing a couple drops every five minutes. Almost like a UTI except no pain!

My boobs felt like they were going to burst! I actually woke up from the pain in the middle of the night a couple of times. I still thought it was weird PMS until that pregnancy stick said otherwise ;p

With my first, my breasts were really sore before my period was even late. With my second, I was tired and literally starving before my period was late. So, I knew really early with both that something was up. Course, I still was in complete shock each time I tested and they were positive!

For my 1st pregnancy, it was my boobs. I couldn't even take a step without horrible pain. I am currently pregnant with number 2 and I had NO symptoms whatsoever. Just a gut feeling that the one night we didnt use protection that I would get pregnant.

With all three for me it was extremely sore wrists, right away around 3.5 weeks, with my third only I noticed the implantation spotting, I might have had it with my first two but just didn't notice it.

With my first son, my period was 1 day late and my breasts felt fuller and tender, thought I chalked it up to PMS. Then I got pretty hormonal over something silly. I took a pregnancy test the next morning because I knew there was a chance we had gotten pregnant 2 weeks before and it was positive.

With my second, it was all screwy because I thought I could have gotten pregnant, then I got a full-blown 8-day period so I never took a test. I never felt pregnant until a full month later (meaning I was about 8 weeks pregnant but didn't know it) and I was SO tired and felt a little queezy. I realized I was 3 or 4 days late and took a test. It wasn't until I started bleeding 2 weeks after that (subchoreal hemorrhage) that they did an ultrasound and found I was actually 3 weeks farther along.

With this one I knew because of my charting that I was pregnant before I took a test. I started to feel a little tired and that was it until this past week (13 weeks along) and now my breasts are feeling full and tender.

After having my first son It took awhile for my period to come back to "normal" and it was still pretty off.

I remember exactly when I realized I was pregnant again.
I had friends in from out of town.
My Hubby, me, friend & his fiance were sitting around drinking and having a little party.
I made myself a Rum & coke. Not too strong. I personally have a Really high tolerance for alcohol, even after being pregnant.

About 10 min or so after drinking, about half my drink, I got really sick. Had to run to the bathroom.
RIGHT after that..I went and told my hubby what happened..his response " Go buy a pregnancy test, cause that's all that could explain that"

Grabbed a test and TA_DA I was pregnant.
I didn't have ANY other symptoms, I went to the dr. and found out I was about 4 months along already!

my breast started hurting but I didn't pay attention, then I started feeling sick to my stomach and still didn't pay attention b/c I was on meds that could do that, then I ate something weird in the middle of the day and my hubby asked if I was pregnant. I said no way but I thought maybe I was. I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive.
we weren't trying and I had my first period in 3years so that's why I thought no way.

I started getting REALLY hungry! I knew I was prego when I stood at the counter eating a really old leftover taco dipped in peanut butter! With the one before that, I was just tired and my breasts were sore. With #s 1 and 2, I was just peeing alot and hungry. I could eat an entire large pizza by myself and I only weigh 100lbs! I had all of these before my period was due. :)

With both of my pregnancies at around 4-6 weeks, I started noticing that I had to go pee a whole lot more than normal! After about 2-3 days of that, I went to the pharmacy and bought a home pregnancy test which confirmed.
