In need of wise words from wise women

[Fuddlestix]

I'm on my second month of TTC. I'm roughly between 6-8 DPO...AF should be due in 4-6 days. For the past few days ive had heartburn ( I never have heartburn)and strange cramps that alternate sides. Today I thought I was going to pass out whilst out shopping. I had extreme hot flushes and lightheadedness followed by a tugging feeling then very creamy CM (sorry) now I'm feeling really sluggish. I can't tell if my body is playing cruel tricks on me and this is bad PMS or I might be pregnant.

Side note I've been on depo for 4 years and had no periods. I came off last year, periods came back July this year so Im not in tune with my body and what a period should feel like just yet. If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated as well own experiences

@Fuddlestix , the problem is, is that AF symptoms are really similar to early pregnancy symptoms! You could be pregnant, but I'm afraid until you take a test, there's no way to be sure. That's the dreaded 2WW for you! It sounds promising but you need to get an FRER in so you can test asap! Good luck xx

My advice as someone who has been trying for well over 10 years, (and I mean this with good intentions at heart) is try to stop obsessing over tiny details and symptoms. It will drive you mad. You will convince yourself you're pregnant every month and then it will be devastating if you're not.

Live your life as normal and test when you miss a period. You'll spend a fortune and drive yourself bonkers otherwise.

Thank you ladies. I don't remember periods being like this 5 years ago, the things our bodies do gaaaah! like you say though, now I'm TTC I'm noticing symptoms I would probably shrug off in any other
circumstance. GUNTY I hope you get your BFP!
