Cold symptoms in very early pregnancy?

Question

Has anyone ever experienced or heard of cold symptoms (sore throat, runny nose, cough) being a very early sign of pregnancy? I heard once that right before implantation, your body's immune system sort of dips as a means of protecting the egg and this is why cold symptoms can develop. Any validity to this?

Answer

I got sick right before I found out I was pregnant the 1st time. So when I randomly got a cold this time I decided to test and it was positive. 28 weeks now :)

Answer

This is exactly what happened to me! I woke up with a sore throat on Jan. 11th and ended up going home from work sick on the 14th because of my stomach, fever, cough, and strong headaches. Headaches lasted a couple more days and the cough lasted another week or so.

Period was supposed to start Jan. 22nd, but was still 4 days late when I tested on the 25th...and got my BFP!!! :)

And I'm the type of person who gets sick and it only lasts one day. I have a great immune system, so I knew something was up!

Answer

It happened with both of my pregnancies.

Answer

I didn't actually get sick but the reason I tested a few days before AF was due is bc I had a sore throat all the previous day.  Not sure why that even prompted me to test but lo and behold- positive!

Answer

Yep happened to me. I got severely sick(body sore, coughing, sneezing, almost like flu. Which I thought I had) I could barely move off the couch, let alone eat. Then when I used the bathroom I had pink spotting and decided to test. Got my positive, sadly I mc.
