Question

Insomnia as an early pregnancy symptom?

I usually sleep like an absolute ROCK and for the past 4 days or so I absolutely CANNOT sleep! I will try to go to bed with my husband, but I can't feel tired until the wee hours of the morning.

I've only ever had severe insomnia when I was in school a few years back. It got so bad (up for days) I was prescribed meds (don't worry, they've been cleared as safe for pregnancy!) The meds worked magic and I could sleep again.

The year or so after I left school I started cutting down the dosage because I didn't need it as much. I was down to 400 or 200mgs, but now I can pop 800mg+ and NOTHING! Just headaches and no sleep.

Is this a pregnancy symptom? AF came 10/06 and I am currently 15DPO (and just BFNs).

Any advice would be much appreciated!

It's not like I'm not tired, I'm exhausted. I'm also tired all day.

Yes, it was one of the first signs I was pregnant, that and morning sickness. I couldn't sleep for long periods during the night but all afternoon that's all I wanted to do was nap. GL

I had that this cycle. Thought for sure I was pg, as I never have problems falling asleep. AF came early. So, it was a sign of being pregnant for me. GL!
