I am now 5 days away from my period being due. It's my first month ttc after our tfmr in jan.
I fell fairly quickly with dd1 as wasn't really tracking or watching symptoms.
With dd2 (who ended up having T18) we weren't actively trying but had stopped preventing iyswim.
We're now ready to try again. We dtd every other day around ovulation time. Since then, around 3dpo I started getting pretty bad abdominal cramps, like prior to period. They lasted around 3 days. Since then I've had a really achy lower back that I just can't shift.
No other real symptoms other than an increased appetite but that could be down to my running. Oh and fatigue, which I really suffered with both my other pregnancies.
It is possible that the cramps 3dpo were actually ovulation pains and that the app I use calculated my fertile time wrong which would be really annoying but nothing I can do now. I'll get opk next month.
What on earth is this back ache though? It's driving me mad. I've never had to do the traditional tww thing and I've been driving myself mad with the 'am I? Aren't I?' questions.

Backache

Well I'm feeling bloody rough. Backache is still here, I thought I'd got over the fatigue but it's back, I'm shattered! Plus I've had some cramping pains in my abdomen. Plus unrelenting headaches!
I think it may well be the run up to AF. I'm due sat so I'll just wait things out. If nothing happens I'll take another test but I'm fully expecting my period to arrive. I'm hoping it's a virus tbh, I don't fancy this every month.
Saying that my counsellor (who is an ex screening midwife) did say tues is very early to test if due on sat. Although the first response says its 87% accurate on day 5 so that's more than likely a negative.
Either way I'm no further on than the other day
