I'm feeling incredibly exhausted all the time, even after a full night's sleep. My friends are saying it could be an early pregnancy symptom. How early in pregnancy does this extreme tiredness usually start?

Fatigue can hit you like a truck as early as week 4 or 5 because of progesterone. Drinking fresh coconut water in the afternoon helped keep my energy levels up naturally.

With PCOS, I already had fatigue issues, but the pregnancy tiredness was different and started around week 6. Don't push yourself too hard; rest whenever your body demands it.

My wife experienced severe exhaustion around the 5th week itself. Our doctor at the clinic explained it is completely normal but recommended blood tests to rule out thyroid or iron deficiencies.

I was reading that progesterone surges right after implantation, which can cause intense sleepiness as early as week 4. It is amazing how much work the body does behind the scenes!

Speaking from our experience, my wife was sleeping 10 hours a day by week 5. It was her very first symptom, even before she started feeling any nausea.
