someone talk me out of this madness please!

[dontcarehow]

right, I'm on what I think is 3DPO, because I've not really had periods over the last 18 months and finally had AF over christmas. I'm not charting or doing ovulation tests or whatever because, well, it'd have been a bit pointless for the last 18 months so don't know if I actually ov'd yet. But assuming I did (I have a vague feeling that I did) its about 3 days since. But I have pretty much convinced myself that there's not chance of me being PG this month because I don't have any symptoms yet. Please someone talk some sense into me! How many DPO is the minimum you would start getting symptoms? I need to stop thinking about it for a few days at least!

Technically you don't really start to get symptoms until the eggy has implanted.....technically! This has something to do with your body not being aware that you are pg before implantation has occurred.

Having said that, I am on 4DPO today and i really do not feel well; have severe cramping and feel like I am coming down with something (I could just be coming down with something though!)

I am sure someone more knowledgable and wiser will come and give you a better idea, but that is my opinion on the matter

Not sure that has helped

You may not have symptoms for a couple of weeks after you ovulated at least, implantation doesn't normally occur until 7-10 days after ovulation so i don't think you will have had symptoms yet! Welcome to the dreaded 2 week wait! You should join us on the other thread!! Best of luck xx

phew thanks, thats helped a bit. At least I can stop analysing everything. at least until 7-10 days! then all the crazy will come back no doubt!

Yes AF is due within the next few days and I have practically convinced myself I'm pregnant! Sure the symptoms are all in my head-you think after 8 months I would have learnt!! At least we can all be crazy together!! X
