Am I pregnant or am I just wishful thinking?!

Hey everyone, I’m new to this and just really need an opinion! So I’m 7DPO and I am experiencing lower back pain, lots of CM which is very wet, mild cramping in lower abdomen, runny nose, tired, eating everything in sight and hormonal. Last night and the night before I had a few pains in my leg too. I’ve had random bouts of feelings a bit sicky. But I do not have sore boobs... which is making me think it’s all in my head! Thoughts?!?!Sad

...not to mention lots of gas (sorry for the tmi)

By 7dpo you probably wouldn't have symptoms because implantation may not even have happened. I'm sure it's not impossible but quite unlikely to have strong symptoms.

@waitingonasmiley42 thank you! I think I’m just reading too much into it. I’m going to wait on AF and go from there!

What @waiting said. Good luck on your TWW though 🍀

Hi op
So many women look for symptoms and if they’re looking for them, they’re magnified and give you hope... but a lot of the time, it’s just hormonal or unrelated to pregnancy.
You could still be pregnant of course but I don’t think the symptoms are related to pregnancy as it’s still really early!
Fingers crossed for you that it does turn out to be a bfp for you this month!

Whilst TTC I've discovered that I get EXACTLY the same symptoms around 5-7 DPO as part of my normal cycle. I tend to feel rotten and sicky for a couple of days and then it goes away. Which is very annoying when you're symptom spotting!

I’ve never noticed it before aprt from now when I’m TTC. This so disheartening! But it will happen when it’s meant to I guess!

Afternoon Everyone, so I couldn’t wait any longer and just needed to test (90% expecting for a BFN) however, I used the First Resp 6 days sooner preg test and appears a very faint line!! I’ll be testing again the morning but just thought I’d update you all Grin

Thank you everyone! I’m shocked I didn’t expect it to come back as +!!

@MrsRLM yes, I’m 9dpo today! I’ll do another test tomorrow and see if it’s any darker.
