Going Crazy

[Mama87]

I feel like i'm going crazy!!! So AF is due next wednesday but for about a week an a half i have been having symptoms. My boobs are bigger, heavier, sore and covered in veins! I need to go the loo all the time and have lower back ache. I have took a test and its a BFN but i know myself i feel different, is it all in my head or am i testing too early? Would appreciate some advice ladies thanks x

It’s not all in your head but honestly, they are just tww symptoms. You don’t get pregnancy symptoms until you’re much further into a pregnancy. I’ve been ttc for 15 months now and every now and again, a new “symptom” pops up during my tww that I’ve never had before, it’s perfectly normal. That’s not to say you’re not pregnant, it just means that at this early stage, the symptoms you’re having aren’t related. Test again if you miss af. Good luck!

Everyone will tell you the symptoms are just PMS symptoms but I truly believe they are different. My first was completely unplanned/unexpected/borderline impossible and I knew something was up a week before my period was due, random cramps that were too early to be AF - I was just confused as to what it was as I didn’t think PG was an option at the time. Second time round, I was testing from about 7DPO because the symptoms were exactly the same as that ‘weird crampy week’. Tests were negative until about 11/12 DPO but I still just knew for certain I was PG before I got the BFP the day before AF was due.

@Mama87 this is exactly the same as me atm!! AF due next Thursday but I’m getting some weird symptoms which I haven’t had before during cycle ?? It’s annoying isn’t it as it leaves you questioning even more ! I haven’t tested as I also think it’s way to early to test.. just wish I had the same symptoms for pms every cycle!

Im going through this exact thing! But im due af on thurs. tingly boobs and occasional nausea. But im scared to get my hopes up x

I think sometimes in this tww we are on high alert for any changes at all and therefore become completely self aware of our bodies. Like never before.
The symptoms are completely valid but can be heightened by our emotional frame of mind in this tww too.
I am notorious for giving myself a new symptom every day in this tww 🤦🏼‍♀️ Xx

I came on to post same thing! I keep imagining I'm seeing a line on pregnancy test when I know for fact there is nothing there it's just my imagination! Hate waiting!
