Likely pregnancy symptoms? Confused :(

[Jadexclark]

Hi all, I'm so confused! I'm currently only 6dpo, and I'm wondering if I could be experiencing pregnancy symptoms already..? I'm quite in tune with my body anyway, and something just doesn't 'feel right'. My nipples are super sensitive, if anything touches them like a seatbelt or my arm accidentally then it's unbearable! I've had a few cramps low down in my tummy today and yesterday, along with a bit of a sore lower back. My nose was super runny yesterday, too. I feel exhausted - like I could fall asleep anywhere, and I feel emotional and weepy. And I just don't feel right in myself. If I am pregnant then I would be over the moon because me and my partner have been TTC - but I don't want to get my hopes up too much because these could all mean nothing! My AF isn't due until 12th august, so another 2 weeks.. And I'm usually regular - every 29 days! We BD'ed during my peak fertility (we're using OPKs) so is it likely I'm pregnant?

Thank you in advanced :)

I've had all these symptoms at one stage or another in last six months and not been. With DD I had no symptoms and no idea I was preg for ages. Good luck, take a test or two if you're late, sorry not to be able to offer more concrete advice.

Well I feel the same, I feel like this before every AF and I also felt like it before I got my BFP with my DS. Not much help I know, but you're not alone in the symptom spotting and the hoping.

The only thing I noticed that was different from my usual AF symptoms was that I had heartburn and gas at 14DPO and I felt unusually wet down there. It all felt a bit 'swollen' (not painful). Then I got my BFP. I'd been feeling like I was about to come on, I felt like this for the first 3 months of pregnancy too. But absolutely nothing was different before the day I was due AF.

Sorry not to be more help but the TWW is bloody awful and your guess is as good as anyone else's at 6dpo. Symptom spotting can be fun though in an obsessive, pointless kind of way and I do it every month! Good luck, I hope you get the BFP you are hoping for.

Hi Blinkandmiss, the thing is, is I don't usually get any symptoms before my AF apart from cramps and grumpiness, so all this is new! And I'm not due to start my AF for another week and a half, so I'm confused.

That's one thing I didn't mention - today I have been feeling as though I'm going to come on early and as though I might have done because I've felt wet down there (TMI - sorry!). Just a weird heaviness low down in my stomach?

Symptom spotting is fun but it's also very stressful too!! Thank you for your response :)

I don't want to give you false hope but I did have tingly/sensitive nipples in my first pregnancy - I think even before I got my BFP- my memory is a bit hazy about the timings tho. Altho bear in mind - I had these tingly nipples and still got a BFN. Took another test about 5 days later and it was BFP so also bear that in mind and maybe wait it out altho easier said than done I know

Thank you for sharing your experience StarsforAngels, that gives me a little glimmer of hope! I'm not getting my hopes up too high because I've been disappointed in the past. It's the waiting game that's driving me mad... I just want to test now!!

You hoping for a boy or a girl?

Goldengimp, you've made my day haha!
I would love a little girl but I'm really not bothered - as long as she/he is healthy that's all I care about :)
