1. Fatigue….
   Absolute and total fatigue…
   that and the sore boobs…
   But I went to the doctor thinking I had mono and while in the office my boobs began to ache… and then I looked at my doc and asked if I could be pregnant…(I had three mentrual cycles while pregnant…go figure!?)

2. I didn’t get sore boobs or nausea at any point in my pregancy, so let P know that neither of those are sure things. I think fatigue is unavoidable though and while I don’t know if it’s actually worse during the first three months, it certainly feels like it is.

3. The tender boobs were the sure sign for me, but the sleepiness and body exhaustion in the middle of the day is a sure sign. But then again, that’s me now with 3 kids, and I’m not pregnant…yet.

4. My friend who just had a baby (through IVF azzit happens) felt very tired and got lots of spots and was sick.

5. Well, since I’m not shy about talking about my girlie bits, yes, as a matter of fact, it was my boobs that clued me in. But they weren’t necessarily sore. More “full” looking. Which is saying a lot when it some to my demure ta-tas.

   All three times, they just looked fuller. Not a whole lot. Not eye popping.

   Also, yes, tired. Just plain old fatigue.

   Anyway, I’m sending some preggo vibes your way. Well, your wife’s way. You just sit back and practice lactating so you can help her out 9 months from now.

6. I don’t want to be the bad luck fairy by commenting on this, but I couldn’t drink tea or coffee and kept thinking the milk was off.

7. I stopped liking wine. I knew something CRAZY was going on then.

8. I didn’t really know until the Dr. told me, so make sure she knows that she could feel totally normal and also be pregnant.

9. Sore nipples, definitely. I was also ultra-sensitive. If you sneezed on me, I’d break into tears, taking it as a sign that you HATED me. Fatigue, definitely. I also had mild cramping. In other words, I felt like I was about to menstruate.

10. fatigue and crazy sensitive nips. here’s hoping that she’s completely exhausted and has nipple pain right quickly!

11. I had no clues whatsoever from my boobs or otherwise. I was at least 6 weeks gone before I started feeling rage towards complete strangers for no reason. And don’t change the name of your blog because it’s perfect for the fatherly baby blog I hope this will become. Will you be needing my breast pump to get things going?

12. Hmm. I think I Just Knew. But I seem to recall that I Just Knew on the previous two months and I was wrong then. The insane nausea / fatigue / tearfulness / faddiness didn’t kick in until about week six.

13. Sore boobs. I concur. The ‘touch them and die’ soreness. That, and the plus sign on the EPT home pregnancy kit.

    Here’s hoping for you two!!!

14. I am so like Crankmama. I was out clubbing and didn’t want any beer. Then I woke up and puked. I knew something was up!!!

15. A few days after conception with no 1 I squeezed my nipples and milk droplets came out. No idea how common that is! But apart from that I didn’t feel the slightest bit different until about a month after I missed my period when I started to feel violently ill whenever I smelt someone smoking a fag, or even just smoke on their clothes.

16. Hmmm….
    I remember just having a funny ‘feeling’. I just new something was up….but that was after I stopped messing with my head 24/7 too.

    And yes….sleepy….sooooo farking sleepy.

    Fingers crossed you guys.

17. Are you refering the male breastfeeding thing because… well… I am trying hard to not picture that as it disturbs me.

    A lot.

18. Crazy tired and I didn’t like the taste of beer. I didn’t get sore at first, I don’t think it happens to everyone.

19. With baby #1, the second pink line on a HPT was the first thing that led me to believe I was pregnant. With baby #2, it was needle-like pains in my breasts and very prominent blue veins across my chest and breasts.

    Sending lots of positive pregnancy vibes to you all the way from Alabama!!!!

20. Definitely the smell and taste of alcohol making me feel sick – half a glass of wine for god’s sake, OI am so much more hardcore than that !! Also, I remember vividly that when I lay on my tummy I felt a little hard rock inside, seriously. Whether that was psychological (I was petrified I was pregnant, it was unplanned) I don’t know, but it felt real. That was about week 8 though (I’m irregular, it didn’t cross my mind. . . . ).

21. I guess I got sore boobs, but then again I get sore boobs every time I get my period, so that wasn’t really a good sign for me. I remember having to go to the bathroom REALLY bad the second I woke up. Or even earlier than I normally wake up. That happened to me real early on. And the smell of coffee (and I’m a HUGE coffee drinker!) kinda made me cringe. I didn’t throw up once when preggo but I knew that as soon as passed up on the coffee in the morning, that something was wrong.

22. Good Luck Moobsie!!!

23. I don’t know, and I don’t want to know for another two years. At least.

    But congratulations and good luck to you!!!

24. for me it was different every time … the first time i was crying over a cotton commercial on tv …. a cotton commercial ! thats when i knew something was wrong ….
    with one of the boys it was the sight of meat at the grocery store suddenly ! i went running out of the store gasping for air and thinkin hmmm i wonder whats wrong with me ???

    im still hoping and prayin for you 🙂

25. Umm…I can’t help, but I’m squeezing my own breasts right now…aaahhhh yeah. That’s it. Daddy like? Daddy like?

    Sorry Moobs. I had a moment there. I’ll go squeeze the dog’s teets for good luck.

26. I have never been more certain that I was about “to start my period any second” than when I was pregnant.

    Good luck with the boobie squeezing.

27. Finally checking in here. I have to nod to the sore boobs, nonsensical crying, and tiredness. I found myself short of breath as well. My veins became ridiculously large like a bodybuilding she-male.

    Practicing that booby squeezing isnt a bad deal for later. I remember reading how nipple manipulation was a labor inducer. I spent the last week of my pregnancy trying out the theory by rubbing myself.

    Still praying for your miracle.

28. I was just checking in…. I have been out of the loop on the Colorado Trail, then feeling sorry for myself for having to stop hiking due to snow – in August!

    How exciting Moobz!! I will light a candle, and say a prayer. What a lucky soul to have such parents longing only to love it!

29. I went off booze both times- virtually days after conception, as it turns out. Thats when I knew something was afoot- I didn’t get sore boobs and nausea until much later. Oh good luck chaps xx

30. When it should have been time for my period, I got a little bit of cramping and a bit of spotty bleeding but not a full period and that’s when I thought I might be pregnant so I took a test. For me, the other obvious symptoms like fatigue, nausea, etc. came later – like around 8 or 9 weeks.

    Much luck to you. I hope for good news for you both.

31. With baby no. 1 I had no clues until about 6 weeks when tiredness hit me like hitting a brick wall – also sore boobs (or sboobz), which I kept poking until the 12 week stage to make sure they still hurt.

    With baby no. 2 I felt mild nausea almost immediately (within days of conception), was completely knackered, but no smoobz. Nausea increased steadily and retchingly until about week 16 when it began to subside.

    Good luck.

32. Hi Moobz. I can’t help on this one, not having been fertilised myself – but best wishes to you and P.

33. Hmm. I got tired, cranky, prone to bursting into tears for no apparent reason… my ankles and feet got puffy… and I started being gravitationally attracted to dill pickles and green olives.

34. Oh crap. I almost forgot to tell you that I tagged you for a meme. Neener. 🙂

35. The same dream, two nights running, about new green shoots growing on a tree. Also, I suddenly didn’t feel bothered about trying to get pregnant any more.

36. i couldn’t tell you, as i’m not a mom yet. except from what the women around me say.

    but best of luck, hopefully the body will give good hints on its own soon! 😉

37. Oh yeah, the boobs were sore as HELL. I’m not just talking the nipple, I’m talkin the whole damn thing and God help you if I was in your car and you hit a pothole with out warning me cause I was going to scream in pain, burst into tears, and then rip your face off CAUSE IF FRIGGIN HURT.

    Now that I’ve joined in on the boob bitchin….

    I started throwing up with both of mine. The first one at about 2 weeks along and the second one about 3 weeks along, and I continued to vomit thru the entire pregnancy, inspiring me to claim relation with Ms Bobbit …hubby was not allowed to breath in my general direction. LOL

    …and also, I felt different. I don’t know what it was exactly, I can’t explain it, but I felt different. The best I can explain it…I felt peaceful and loved and wonderful and that nothing could ever make me sad.

    A quite strength of soul maybe?

    I don’t know. But I felt different – then I threw up a lot – maybe I was just nauseous.

38. A vague idea that my period was late and a pregnancy test. And I still didn’t actually FEEL pregnant until I first felt the baby move and started to retch at every smell in the food court. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.

39. Just jumpin in here; My husband and I tried for TEN years, lots of tests with the doctors; tests and home(countless) never came out positive. It was devistating. I totally understand all of your feelings. I had a procedure with my ovaries in September, and took a trip over Christmas to visit family(with all the essential of another woman cycle due to come). I was four days late over New Year’s Eve, didn’t feel like drinkin, we kept crackin jokes like I couldn’t carry any heavy lugguage, cuz I may be with Child. It was a joking sort of banter, but something inside me felt different, and I knew I probably should be taking this as a sign. 5th day, took test, positive, I just sat on the bathroom floor and cried for the longest time. Please hang on to your love you guys ,it will happen. I look at my son now whom is 3, and sometimes still can’t believe he’s mine…best wishes to you both!!!

40. I had bad acid reflux, lightheadedness, fatigue and moodiness (sensitivity). The boob thing didn’t happen until about the 4-5 month and nausea only happened in the evenings starting the 4-5 month. I as preg with twins. The doc was testing me for parasites because we weren’t supposed to be able to get pregnant – had tried all the fertility stuff. Best wishes!

41. Oh and tell her to get the Yoga for Fertility video. That’s what did it for me after all the other expensive stuff!
