7/8DPO Pains With a Cold

Hi everyone,

I am 7-8DPO today and I've had 2 colds since the end of November. Second one supposedly started the day after I was supposed to ovulate, now I'm not sure if its thrown everything off.

I've been coughing quite badly because of this and I have been getting strange pressure/light cramps in the pubic area. Is this caused by the coughing? I usually only notice it on my ribcage with a bad cough so I'm not sure if I just pulled a muscle, what do you all think please?

My partner has been ill both times as well before me, no idea where he's picking it up from! Never been ill twice so close together before. Thank you.

I think I'm either 6 or 7DPO now and I started with the worst migraine yesterday and sore throat..woke up this morning still with a fuzzy head. My throat feels better but still sore, just feel tired and muscles are aching in general.

How are you feeling today?
