Can you REALLY have symptoms at 7dpo?

Question

I feel like you can't. At that point the egg isn't even implanted, let alone producing enough hcg to cause any hormonal changes. 
I'm 7dpo so I'm on a few threads here with my cycle buddies for the tww, and everyone keeps asking about symptoms already at like 6-7dpo. I'm really skeptical that you can have symptoms that early. Mayyybeee when you hit 10 or 11dpo, but that still seems early for any kind of symptoms besides a positive test. As much as some people may not want to hear it, I think it's all psychological. 🤷‍♀️ 
Prove me wrong? Should I be feeling different if I'm actually pregnant? If there's a scientific reason for it I'll 100% change my mind, I'm just looking for other opinions since I'm really curious.

Answer

I could be crazy but I know my body really well and I’ve been pregnant 6 times. (This is my 6th pregnancy, 5th living child) when I got pregnant this time and the last time I knew it before I got a positive test. My discharge was different, my boobs were sore, I was cramping, and I somehow had awful heartburn. I think it depends on how well someone knows their body. I could be wrong but that’s my opinion lol

Answer

This is a big debate for alot of people, but I’ve researched as well as talked to several fertility specialists and they all said you can experience conception symptoms that are the same as pms and pregnancy. The fertilized egg makes a chemical that can cause you to feel symptoms. 
A big thing to keep in mind is the AVERAGE tube length is about 10mm but everyone is different so some women can have shorter tubes or longer tubes which can cause them to implant earlier or later. 
 
When I was trying with my son I had these symptoms 3 time prior to getting pregnant and all 3 were months I did conceive but had a miscarriage. When I got pregnant with my son I actually got BV the week before I got my positive, and since nothing in my life and diet had changed they said it most likely was caused by the pregnancy. I struggled with it my entire pregnancy as well as uti and yeast infections.

Answer

I mean, yes and no. There is always a rise in progesterone post ovulation, pregnant or not. The increased progesterone is what causes symptoms. PMS and pregnancy symptoms are so similar for this reason.

Answer

Sometimes when women are ttc they just tend to pay more attention to how they feel, so they also notice their regular hormonal shifts that they probably have every month or other things like indigestion which is just normal life but they probably tend to dismiss it. The only thing I experienced around that time was implantation spotting.

Answer

I wasn’t even trying to fall pregnant but I had odd symptoms over 2 days that only happened during my previous pregnancy, so I took a test at only 8dpo and it was positive. Had bloodwork confirmed that same day and my hcg was 16, so super early meaning I would’ve implanted 2 days prior. Ovulation had also been confirmed by ultrasound and blood tests because I was supposed to be having uterine surgery (the day I got a positive test!), so the pregnancy was a shock to everyone. 
A lot of pregnancy symptoms are the same as period symptoms, or for things unrelated like what you’ve eaten or you’re getting a cold etc so of course you will get the posts about “their symptoms” which they probably literally got every month and were unrelated.
In my case this was my 4th pregnancy so for my coffee to taste metallic, and to feel slightly queasy, and smelling things intensely they were all abnormal to me and ONLY happened in early pregnancy 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Everyone’s body and pregnancy is different. I experienced sore boobs by 6dpo and then by 8dpo had very light uterus cramping. I was super bloated like my stomach hurt bc of gas buildup. Never had that before. I figured it was pms so I ignored it... and I was actually pregnant 😆
My pms symptoms usually are sore boobs 10days at most prior to af. Some mild bloating 2-3 days at most. But I never have cramps before AF, only get it on cycle day 2 and they are usually back pain too. Days leading up to AF i had cm that looked fertile/creamy also.. which made me question what was happening. 
My biggest difference was the light uterus cramping that were on and off leading up to AF but no period showed so I tested 2 days late and was bfp

Answer

I did. I walked into work and smelled the raw chicken and nearly threw up. Second pregnancy too. Yuck

Answer

Just here for the drama about to ensue

Answer

I always get diarrhea around 7-10 dpo every time I’m pregnant. 4/4

Answer

The thing with that is women don’t actually know with 100% certainty when they ovulate, so they may think they are 6dpo but are actually 7/8dpo which will absolutely make a difference in what happens as far as the body’s response to implantation. My first I had no symptoms or anything out of the ordinary. With this baby I was getting dizzy and lightheaded several times a day starting around 7/8dpo (but realistically I could’ve been more like 8/9dpo there’s no way to actually know). I got a very obvious positive test woth evening urine at 9dpo. The lightheadedness was without a doubt due to being pregnant. I don’t think someone can have true pregnancy symptoms at 6dpo tho because that’s the earliest implantation can happen and hcg has to rise enough to even cause symptoms, so it would be at least a day or two After implantation before someone could experience true pregnancy symptoms.
