I’m pregnant with my third and knew before I tested that I was pregnant because I woke up on about 8/9dpo feeling very breathless and with a seriously weird taste in my mouth! Didn’t get other symptoms, like heartburn and sore boobs, until about 14dpo ?

I have 2 out of 4 of your symptoms.. breathless and heartburn really bad. My boobs does not hurt which is weird because every period my breats hurts really bad i t hasn’t in 2 months. right now i am currently 8/9 days like you.
What was your outcome? Baby dust to you??
I got the slightest positive 2 weeks after conception. Way before my missed period I just felt so weird and different. I’m due trrw ?
@B DW I don’t what to take of all this. Been nauseated, lower abdomen pain, backaches, light headed, metal taste in mouth, no appetite and I’m on day 11 after when I calculated the day it would have happened. Taken 4 hCG tests all negative. Starting to wonder if it’s my imagination and I’m not really pregnant
@Annabel Robinson Im in the starting to think it’s in my mind but ur not supposed to doubt
That’s cool… I did too but got a negative yet I have a baby already and I feel crazy pregnant again I think to early
What do you mean? Is your lutheal phase longer than 2 weeks? I’m so confused.
@brown suga I’ve never been pregnant and things just feel weird. Like I started feel nauseated around day 7 but I got a negative test snd I haven’t missed a period. Day 8-9 I started vomiting but day 5 I started getting cravings for stuff I ate as a kid, having vivid dreams, and being hot all the time. So I’m just waiting to see if anything is
Baking in the oven
I love your channel! Been binge watching the last week. I’d love to understand more about progesterone and how to know if you’re deficient and it’s relation to chemical pregnancies and early miscarriages.
I did IVF, took progesterone & still miscarried at 3 months.
I had early delivery with my first so during my second pregnancy I was given progesterone shots to help protect from early delivery. It worked for my case. Stay positive as what we believe we experience.
Great Question
Well explained! My husband and I were able to understand exactly what we’re getting ourselves into. Thank you!!!
Use Agbara Herbal Medication for this infections to be flushed out of your Body and give you more chance to get pregnant ,because PID is an infection caused by bacteria. When bacteria from the vagina or cervix travel to your womb, fallopian tubes, or ovaries, they can cause an infection. Most of the time, PID is caused by bacteria from chlamydia and gonorrhea. These are sexually transmitted infections (STIs),But the Best Treatment for PID is AGBARA HERBAL DEEP CLEANSER and this infections will be cured and clear in your Bloodstream completely, Use Agbara Herbal medication cure your PID and get your Uterus re-immuned and get Pregnant very fast…..
I just discovered your channel and your videos are so helpful! So a question I’ve been wondering for a while, is intercourse safe during implantation time during a natural cycle (no ivf)?
Love this very carefully explained hoping to be pregnant with my little bean been having symptoms fingers crossed ?? baby dust to everyone and congratulations to all the moms to be!!!
I love that you explain things so simply to us, but at the same time you don’t dumb it down. Thanks for this great info!
@YaNeverKnow Me you should wait at least 9 days after you ovulate but the longer the better
@Natalie Crawford, MD If you ovulated on april 24 and had unprotected sex the 25th wen will implation start and wen can u test?
Thank you ?
This is the best explanation I’ve come across. Thank you!
This was SUPER helpful!! Thank you! I am 9dpo- super intense burning breasts is my #1 symptom and I never have breast pain. I got a negative test this morning but listening to you explain it in such great detail gives me more hope! I’m not out til AF shows up, after all!
@Ms.Jackson, I’m not sorry thank you!!!
@Amanda Matlock Congratulations honey ???
Update: I am pregnant!!! ?
Am happy for u hun
I’m so excited to know ya live in Texas! I am also located in Texas….in Cedar Hill/Dallas. I am currently TTC and currently as we speak I am officially 1 day late for AF going on 2 days now amongst other symptoms. Good to know someone nearby is more available to guide women like myself, who just arent quite sure about everything. So thank you very much for this video. Definitely very helpful!!!✅????
I had 7 miscarriages over the course of 3 years. I might be pregnant now, I’ve been having tender/sore nipples since ovulation (now lasting 9 days) and am now getting mild acne and mood swings. This never happens during a normal cycle. I hope I am and that this one is viable.

@nas yas yes the spellcaster help me
All the symptoms you mentioned I get them every month with my period lol I have been trying for almost three years, I’m very regular but a few times I have been a few days late though my last period was a week which it was heartbreaking as I was sure I was pregnant 🙁 but the day I took test that day my period came! Now thinking on IVF ???
@Jayson Wells can you help me as well
The absolute best explanation of tww symptoms I’ve ever seen thank you ?
I love your videos! Could you possibly do a video on TTC after ectopic pregnancy? Thanks!
I had 2 failed pregnancies earlier this year. Saturday (4 days before period) I got 2 strong positive tests. Today I got 2 more strong positives (1 day before period) I pray this pregnancy is viable. ?
Update?
Look into how to increase progesterone its a common reason for miscarriage
Congratulation ??
Good luck !!
Good luck?
I took a pregnancy test today . I have been through 2 miscarriages . The pregnancy test shows 1 full line and 1 weak line . Which means I might be pregnant. I hope this pregnancy goes well and I can hold my baby at the end of the 9 months of my pregnancy. Please pray for my baby’s safety .
@Maribelle Tatiana I am 28 weeks pregnant now Alhamdulilah. Thank u all for ur amazing prayers. Keep us in ur prayers insha Allah.
HI, check on your progesterone that might be the cause of miscarriages.
How’s your baby momma?
Do u have safty pregnancy dear
May Allah swt grant you aafiyah and shifa and grant you a healthy sahliheen child, who shall be the coolness of your eyes AMEEN
Hi! Currently 8 DPO and breastfeeding. We are TTC and I swear I felt symptoms and a change in my body pretty early on. Is there different or more sensitive symptoms of implantation while breastfeeding?
I only was actively trying for 8 months. I finally got my BFP. I kept trying to track my 7dpo, 8, 9, 10. I just gave up awhile and missed my period by ONE day and just felt off… I doordashed pregnancy tests to my house!!!! Lol. I am so excited. My first ❤️
@Cheyenne Whitacre omg I’ve been looking for someone who had pooping a lot as a symptom cause ppl say you should experience constipation as a symptom
All in all, you could be pregnant when you got your period? I also have been feeling weird lately, like something in my body is changing but I can’t put a finger on it. No PMS, got my period delayed for over 4 days and I am yet to find out if I am. I hope I am tbh. Congratulations on the baby ❤❤❤❤ I hope I do get the baby dust this time ???
@Cheyenne Whitacre awww congrats
@stephanie nunez yes I’m 16 weeks ☺️☺️☺️
ARE YOU??
Thank you for this video! So well-explained. I’m currently 10DPO (I used OPK to track my ovulation) and taking progesterone under medical prescription. Do you think artificial progesterone could interfere with the results of a pregnancy test? In what ways?
I don’t know if it’s me who’s overly emotional but I just really loved your video and all of them!!! Thank you so much for all this precious information, I am a very curious person and it’s so nice to have information of such great quality! Thank you ? ????
