Driving myself crazy over here and would be great to hear if anyone else in my position?

I know how unlikely it is to get pregnant first go but apparently it's not making the symptom spotting any better!

Probably only 5DPO now so extremely unlikely I would even be getting symptoms yet but I swear I can feel something in usual period pain area this morning, and sore nipples. Anyone else ever felt anything this early or is it biologically impossible & just my crazy brain?

I'm 26 (nearly 27)
TTC baby no 1
Cycle no 1
CD 19
AF due 23/04

My body was so super sensitive to pills I came off it as soon as it would have been 'ok' to get pregnant so been off for about 1.5-2 years and just used condoms since then. Been dreaming of babies all year and reading up all things fertility so in some ways feels like I've been trying for longer. This time I think I caught LH surge, ddt straight away and think I ovulated next day.

Same boat! No idea when AF due so not really sure when to test. Have PCOS and realllllly irregular cycles. Seems to be better after stopping progesterone only pill which I was on a few months so fingers crossed thats reset it a bit!

Noticed some potential Implantation bleeding today so will see.

This is my second month of trying. AF due right about now! I’ve had a week of very sore, full breasts. Probably ahead of AF but I can hope. Smile

Welcome @Moxska and @problembottom !!

That's exciting about potential implantation bleeding @Moxska , when are you going to test?

@problembottom definitely hope! Boobs is the first thing I felt and it was not too different from AF but maybe more painful.

Managed to get a positive digital today and it's so nice to see it in writing! Still only 12DPO so 'cautiously excited'. My AF would have been due tomorrow.

Any more concrete signs of AF @Slou14 ? X

@waitingforbubbles I don't know atm cause I have no idea when anything happened or cycle length etc was gonna try and do it maybe mid this week or the one after? AF should have been somewhere around there I think :)

problembottom · 24/04/2018 12:14

Ooo how exciting @waitingforbubbles

My boobs remain absolute agony, I can't take my bra off for a second. Because I didn't have periods on the coil before we started trying two months ago am not that sure about dates. I think if my cycle was 28 days AF should have appeared on Friday. DP thinks we should wait until this Friday, if there's still no sign of AF, to test. I'm feeling very irritable today which he is saying might be PMS. This whole business is driving me a bit crazy that's for sure.

Can I please join this thread!! Me and my partner started trying a few weeks ago and I am constantly symptom spotting. I've also gone completely and utterly baby mad! It's slightly insane 🙃 only annoying thing is my periods are super irregular and I haven't come on in months so it's so hard to track. Started using opks daily and think yesterday's was positive!! We have baby danced a lot and then I wake up this morning convinced I feel pregnant. I'm losing my mind!!! Hahaha

Hi @WelshBarbie my periods are really irregular except mine are more frequent but I'm not sure what's worse lots of periods or none both horrible when ttc.

WelshBarbie · 24/04/2018 21:30

@ShortandStout1 It's horrible isn't it! So so difficult to track. I am just symptom spotting like a maniac. I keep randomly falling asleep and having accidental 3 hour naps?! Not like me at all. Just so exhausted. Had an increased appetite too, sore nipples and heart palpitations and stinky pee. Whether they are actual symptoms I don't know, I'm just googling everything I feel followed by the words 'early pregnancy' then convincing myself. Had a negative test 3 nights ago in the evening and wanted to retest with first morning wee but I can't be bothered when I know it'll be negative. Naively want my next test to be a positive one!!!

Can I join too?! I’m in my first ever TWW and think I’m about 4dpo ... feeling very tired, but no other symptoms aside from some strange cramps. Could just be from all of the gardening I did at the weekend, but can’t help but be a little hopeful that something else is going on! 🙈
