Advice please: is it hopeful?

Wondering if someone has an opinion. We are currently ttc. First day of last period was 23rd July, ended 27th July. We dtd immediately after, every other day since. For the past couple of days I've been having very mild period cramps, not enough to be painful, just so you know they're there. My abdomen has felt heavy and I've had some mild lower back ache. I know it's not related to ovulation as I never get any ovulation symptoms at all, I only get these things the day before my period, literally. Does it sound likely that these could be really early pregnancy symptoms?

Sorry but I can't really see how it could be pregnancy related, your period only ended just over a week ago. It's probably either ovulation related or something else entirely.

I would be very surprised if these are pregnancy symptoms. Your period only just finished, surely it would be almost impossible to ovulate, conceive and then implant and start developing symptoms. I may be wrong but I'd say it's likely your body is gearing to ovulate, this is more likely than being a sign of pregnancy.

Hmmm that's really odd then as I've literally never had any signs of ovulation before, which is the only thing that made me consider it being pregnancy signs. Bodies are weird :(

Funnily enough, you tend to notice all bodily functions more when ttc. I know what it's like. I never noticed ovulation symptoms before we began ttc and now I appear to be very sensitive to them! Same goes for af symptoms. Unfortunately, all symptoms for all of those things are the same. It's likely ovulation or you're a bit under the weather. As others have said, it can't be pregnancy yet.

Got my bfp this morning :) not even due af for another 5 days
