Anyone else in their first (or one of first) TTW?

Driving myself crazy over here and would be great to hear if anyone else in my position?

I know how unlikely it is to get pregnant first go but apparently it's not making the symptom spotting any better!

Probably only 5DPO now so extremely unlikely I would even be getting symptoms yet but I swear I can feel something in usual period pain area this morning, and sore nipples. Anyone else ever felt anything this early or is it biologically impossible & just my crazy brain?

I'm 26 (nearly 27)
TTC baby no 1
Cycle no 1
CD 19
AF due 23/04

My body was so super sensitive to pills I came off it as soon as it would have been 'ok' to get pregnant so been off for about 1.5-2 years and just used condoms since then. Been dreaming of babies all year and reading up all things fertility so in some ways feels like I've been trying for longer. This time I think I caught LH surge, ddt straight away and think I ovulated next day.

Sorry @ShortandStout1 😥. I have actually had slightly stronger cramps today which is making me worrying that my AF is on the way too. We'll see I guess, if so I'll be with you next month!!! X

@slou14 @waitingforbubbles most definitely a period. I knew the chances were low to get pregnant first cycle were low but I'm still very disappointed.

ShortandStout1 · 18/04/2018 14:39

It has lightened up this afternoon but I'm not keeping my hopes up

Oh that's a good point @Slou14 - it would be the right time for implantation bleeding @ShortandStout1 - maybe wait and see if it gets much heavier and if not test xx

OH and I had the MOST VIVID DREAM last night that I got a BFP. I can picture the two lines from it so clearly it's really weird. Haven't had a dream that vivid in a long time. Only just remembered it because I googled early preg symptoms 🙈

@Slou14 no that's okay!! I get light headed quite often if I stand up too fast but never usually such a pronounced head rush during yoga and I do yoga a lot so it's making me think this does feel new..? But yes I love yoga too!

I am overthinking everything though!! I also have 4 FRER and two cheapies from Amazon- (they came in a set) - so I think I'll do the cheapy Amazon one first and then FRER if I think I can see anything.

I am starting to seriously worry about my sanity if TTC goes on for a long time though 😕 huge respect to anyone who tries for months on end. I saw SO MANY NEWBORNS in town today it was ridiculous!!! Sat next to the cutest little squidgey one in a cafe 💔 👶 🍼

Slou14 · 17/04/2018 18:28

@waitingforbubbles sorry! Just noticed you said that the head rush thing is new for you. I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it's a sign of early pregnancy...!

Slou14 · 17/04/2018 18:26

@waitingforbubbles you're such a bad influence 😂 I suppose it will be 10dpo by then though...! Ah I love yoga. I went to a great class last night. I feel so bloody good after a good class!

Interesting about the lightheaded-ness though! Do you get it often?

@ShortandStout1ha you are prepared fair play! I've only got 4 FRERs! 😂

ShortandStout1 · 17/04/2018 18:06

I have a large pg tests now though. This includes 3 frer test a clearblue rapid response, 2 digitals (dh insists) and 10 cheapies just for good measure

@Slou14 ooh that does sound like such a good sign!!! My mum said the first thing she noticed when she had me was super sore breasts before she even took a test. Mine are just averagely sore- definitely tender but they've been more sore in the past. Silly non-hurting breasts 🙈.

I've felt really light headed again today; kept getting such bad head rush at yoga which is definitely new...! Not sure it's a pregnancy symptom though!?

Test with me on Friday?? 😁😁

@ShortandStout1 I am so impressed with your restraint! I do understand though if your cycles are irregular! I'm just going to probably piss (literally) £15 down the drain 💁🏻‍♀️

Slou14 · 17/04/2018 17:51

@waitingforbubbles @ShortandStout1 I want to wait until the weekend but I can be very impatient so we'll see...! Any thing new with you both today? My boobs are SO sore today. I've had tingly and tender nipples for nearly a week now but today both boobs are super sore (even to touch). I do get this before AF but not this bad and not this early... hoping it's a good sign.

ShortandStout1 · 17/04/2018 09:43

@waitingforbubbles @slou14 symtom checking is getting to me. Woke up with sore nipples (sorry tmi) and a bad back but could be unrelated. I'm going to hold off until 25th to test if I can.

@Slou14 I think probably Friday, it's a bit early but possible that something will show up! What about you? X

OP posts:
Slou14 · 16/04/2018 22:26

Yes the next week will be difficult...! When are you thinking of testing?

Original poster
waitingforbubbles · 16/04/2018 20:47

@Slou14 Ah that's good! Well done you for keeping your mind off it! I've still got this weird period pain area type feeling but I definitely think I could be overthinking it. I'm getting lightheaded when I stand up too but that does quite often happen to me for no reason..... A week to AF for me too so I think anything from now could be regular PMS...

OP posts:
Slou14 · 16/04/2018 17:51

I haven't noticed any new symptoms today but to be honest I've been so busy that I haven't even had time to think about TTC! It's been good actually. AF due in a week.....!! How are you both feeling?x

waitingforbubbles · 16/04/2018 13:29

@ShortandStout1 @Slou14 how are you both feeling today? I still feel like we have so long to wait!!

Ordered some FRER tests and instructed DH to hide them from me until Friday 🙈

OP posts:
ShortandStout1 · 15/04/2018 11:56

He also thought my cycle didn't start until my AF finished and when I told him it starts on first day of AF he said that sounded stupid. Don't get me wrong he is a great guy he just doesn't understand things he doesn't experience

Slou14 · 15/04/2018 11:48

My DH has no clue either!!

ShortandStout1 · 15/04/2018 11:47

Dh didn't know what implantation was not meGrin

ShortandStout1 · 15/04/2018 11:44

Sometimes I'm thankful that my dh doesn't have a clue about cycles and such but other times I think how could you not know about this. The other day I said something about pineapples theoretically could help with implantation. I didn't know what implantation was.
