Pregnancy symptoms?

I have seriously irregular periods (ranging from 35 to over 80 days with no pattern) but tested all clear for PCOS last month. Since then I've been using the Ovia app and checking for signs of ovulation and DH and I have been DTD every few days. I'm on CD40 today.
In the last week I've had a couple of bad headaches and the odd bit of nausea. I have had sore boobs for a few days now which feel heavy and more sore than the usual sign of my period coming. I'm also thinking my sense of smell has increased (but I may just be talking myself into that one!)
The thing is, I had one random day of EWCM a couple of weeks ago and that's it, more or less dry before and since then so I didn't think I'd ovulated at all yet. I'm so confused, could these be pregnancy symptoms or am I looking too much into it? I have no idea when to test because of my irregular cycle! So frustrating!! Confused

And even more confused that my confused face has shown up as a bottle after posting!

Hi, this does sound like early pregnancy symptoms. I'd give it until Sunday and then do a test.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Grin Fingers crossed! I'll be incredibly lucky if it is, I was expecting to spend at least a year trying with my irregular cycle!

My friend has really irregular cycles and has managed to fall pregnant 3 times. It happens. If you have no luck Sunday, give it a week and do another. Keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🍀

Crazy sore boobs were my first symptom followed by crying over the stupidest thing , nausea and sense of smell Started around 7 weeks for me but everyone is different

SMurphy91 · 15/02/2019 10:10

toomuch that's really promising, do you know how long it took with her 3? My doctor literally said to me "it's good you're starting now, ill probably see you in 12 months to discuss how we can help you more..." Hmm

homegrown I'm so excited about this now, trying to contain myself! Who knew sore boobs could make a girl happy haha

She fell pregnant in the same year she started trying,and now has a 6,4 and 1 year old, she has polycystic ovaries and was having 2 periods a year.

I think I'm pregnant atm but haven't tested yet. I'm 16 days late and have sore boobs, headaches in the morning, cramps, and my sense of smell has gone through the roof! Everything smells so strong.

SMurphy91 · 15/02/2019 11:14

Ooh good luck when you do test, I hope it's positive for you!
I'm still telling myself to expect a negative test, can't quite let myself believe it could be positive

SMurphy91 · 15/02/2019 11:24

BFN yesterday but still no AF... it's been 15 days since EWCM so god knows what's going on! I think I'll give it another week before testing again. Am I right in thinking after O it should only be around 2 weeks before AF or BFP even with irregular periods?

Should also add that I have been beyond tired the last few days!!! I've had to have a few naps which is completely unlike me Confused

toomuchtoolittle how did you get on?

OP posts:
toomuchtoolittle · 18/02/2019 10:51

Aww that's a shame. I agree..give it another week.

I got a positive. I knew though before I tested. Baby no6 so I'm a bit of a pro and know when I'm in early stages of pregnancy.

Keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

SMurphy91 · 18/02/2019 11:23

Thank you 😊

Oh no 😩 bloody typical!

TTC for a few months - had a MC a couple of months ago.

I am 16DPO and AF was due 2 days ago.

Last 2 weeks I have had headaches, slight nausea, tender boobs (but not nipples getting sore or bigger) cramps that are constant but light and today lower back pain. And SUPER tired all the time - also more hungry!

I had a small amount of spotting very light pink yesterday evening.

I took a clear blue digital test yesterday morning and it said NOT pregnant.

Could I still be pregnant even if I had a negative digital test? Advice!!!

Would love to know if you've been through similar! Thanks :)
