Is Shortness of Breath an early sign of Pregnancy?

I read one woman's experience about shortness of breath being an early sign of pregnancy for her--something she noticed 7 days prior to an HPT detecting her pregnancy. Has anyone else experienced shortness of breath very early on in pregnancy? I am 4 days past ovulation, and as of a couple days ago, I noticed myself having to take deeper breaths to "get more oxygen." This feeling was similar to what I had during my last pregnancy, but I'm not sure when it started that time. (My last pregnancy ended in a missed m/c, and I'm very hopeful of being pregnant again.)

Also, what other symptoms have you ladies noticed during the 2 weeks past ovulation, but prior to getiting a positive HPT?

I noticed shortness of breath early on my pregnancy... but it wasn't until around the 6-7 week point (so that's well beyond where you are now).  I didn't really have any symptoms that early... but for my first pregnancy (that ended in m/c unfortunately) I did have some dizziness and light-headedness right around that time period.  Sorry.. that probably doesn't help much.  Good luck.

you know I was wondering the same thing. last night i got out of bed to go potty ( downstairs) & I noticed i was breathing so hard like I just ran 2 miles or more.. I thought it was weird & today I had a BBT dip so i'm really excited... but i'm going to research this whole SOB thing b/c I didnt think it happened till later on like 6- 8 weeks or later ..
