So, af is due in a week and I've been doing my best not to symptom spot. I've had twinges here there and everywhere but I haven't been too bothered by them or thought into them much ive just acknowledged they're there.
Anyway, I've been completely exhausted over the past few days, ive woken up in the morning and then slept again right though to the afternoon and still wanted a nap later on which is completely out of character for me as usually once im up there's no going back to sleep!
I'm ttc #1 but I've been pregnant before and I remember how drained i felt although I didn't link the exhaustion ive been feeling now to pregnancy until I read online that the surge in progesterone can leave you feeling exhausted.
I won't look into anything else (hopefully!) but I just got really excited by the thought of possibly being pregnant although I know it's way too early to test and I won't be peeing on any sticks until AF is a good few days late at least.

Sorry for rambling im just feeling very hopeful! Especially as this is the first month ive managed to DTD every day (until CD20 anyway) so im feeling optimistic and really wanted to share!

Has anyone else had tiredness they think is related to pregnancy even though it was before af is due? I'm always clutching at straws but I suppose being too optimstic is better than being the opposite!

I know how frustrating that 2 week wait is. Any new niggle is assigned to be a symptom! I'm very guilty of reading into everything.
Tiredness is definitely a symptom, but tbh is is still VERY early to be experiencing any sort of symptom and you could drive yourself mad over the next week.
The great news is that you covered all bases so there's a chance you are pregnant. Try to take comfort in the fact you've done everything possible to conceive this month, and I'm wishing you a super speedy week so you can pee on stick and get your answer.

Remember implantation doesn't normally occur until around 7-10DPO. At after that you aren't likely to get any real symptoms for at least a week or two.

Good luck to you

Thank you girls!

I know I'm being ridiculous im probably just overworked and I haven't felt this level of tiredness since I was pregnant so I'm just assuming it's the same reason (silly I know!). It's funny how i read into everything im just so unbelievably impatient! God knows what I'll do to keep me occupied over the next week, possibly eating a lot of easter eggs then blaming feeling sick as a possible pregnancy symptom haha!
