Very early signs or just wishful thinking?

I came off the pill right at the beginning of the month ready for us to start trying for a baby. We know it can take a while, which is why we decided to start letting nature take it's course now. We've not really actively tried or done anything different to normal but I have been tracking my cycle and it seems that Weds was my predicted day to ovulate, which was confirmed by EWCM.

So fast forward to today, 3/4 days past ovulation. I've been feeling a bit strange the past few days. I can't quite explain how my tummy feels, kind of like very dull cramps and just a generally odd feeling that I really just can't describe. I've been tired, so much so that I slept until 10am today which is unheard of for me. I don't know the last time I slept past 7am. The past 2 days I've felt slightly nauseous at times and today my nipples feel a little tender as well as feeling quite emotional, there's been a few times I've got teary and felt like I was about to cry for no real reason.

Only now have I started to wonder what if. So I guess my question is, is it possible to have any signs like this this early on or is it just signs of ovulation or something and my wishful thinking?

Hi CAZZIEG, I would say you can have signs this early as literally 2 weeks after my period (when they say you are ovulating) I knew I was pregnant. I took a test and obviously it was negative. So fast forward 2 weeks later and another pregnancy test was positive lol. I am now 11 weeks!!!
Now everybody is different but I could feel from very early on and I was right.
I hope you are, but if not just enjoy trying ;) xx

Thanks for replying :)

My boobs seem to be getting more tender. My nipples are actually quite sore if anything rubs against them. Gosh who knew I'd ever be discussing my nipples online!

I know some people talk about just knowing, I font but I hope I am. I don't remember feeling like this mid way through my cycle before but maybe it's because I'm recently off the pill. Or maybe we have actually managed to do something right. I don't know and won't for a while so I guess I better get used to the wait!

Haha I hope you are but its true even if you took a test now it probably wouldn't show yet. So wait for a couple weeks and see.
And I didn't have saw boobs or anything I just felt SO tired, and didn't have sickness just felt sick. Just didn't feel right which is really strange.
But like I said even if you aren't this time it is early days and you have only just decided to try. So enjoy it either way.
If your pregnant fantastic :)because it is what you want. But if not enjoy all the lovin you would be getting (because that stops a buit during pregnancy haha).
I wish you all the best :). Xxx

I'm going to just try and forget about it for a while and see what happens. Like you said, if I am pregnant then great but if not it's only the first month that we've tried and there's plenty of time left. Though I want a baby like yesterday there's not really any rush.
