Could I be pregnant? Symptoms?

Me and my partner ttc on the 4th, 8th and 12th of this month - I think I ovulated between the 8th and 9th. Had light cramping on the 9th a bit like usual period cramps and twinges in left ovary. Pretty much cramping very slightly every day since then.
Around the 15th my boobs started aching and feel swollen and slightly larger. My partner pointed out that they had gotten bigger before I'd even noticed.. I've been seriously bloated and my moods have been all over the place, overly emotional and irritable.
I haven't noticed any spotting or had an implantation bleed which I did experience last time I was pregnant - but my boobs were the very first symptom before I got my bfp.

Most of these symptoms could be passed off as pms symptoms - my boobs used to get sore and I used to cramp lots around ovulation time but I never get symptoms like this anymore. I'm due for my period in 6 days (23rd July)

@Sydneey hey, OMG this sounds exactly like me!!

I ovulated around 7/8th July and since 12th by boobs have been so sore, it's even hurting to walk! and they seem swollen and bigger.
I've had a headache/dizziness and sharp shooting pains.

However this happened to me two months ago, I was even 2 days late and got a faint positive but then AF came so must have been a CP.

So I don't want to get my hopes up, but i've heard that sore boobs are a good sign! my AF is due 22nd.

Fingers crossed for us both, keep us in the loop how you get on xxx

@HayleyD84 We have such similar dates then!! That's super exciting! My boobs started to itch like mad today as well! Possibly due to them growing?? Ive been going crazy waiting to test lol.
I'm thinking of doing the clear blue 6 days early test - not long until AF is due for us both now! Fingers crossed for the both of us xx Thanks

Buy a FRER tomorrow, you can test with them now. Good luck both

@Sydneey I tested today and bfn 😢

I'm getting stabbing pains in my lower abdomen. But my boob pain has eased right off which is weird?

I can't help testing every day which is going to drive me insane ha ha 😂

I also tested earlier today and bfn.. however I did ask partner to get an early detection test and he got one you're supposed to take after missed period 😂 so will be testing again later when can pick up correct one. My boobs are less sore as well! And pain in abdomen is more of a dull ache than a stabbing pain. Which test did you use? I'm going to pick up a clear blue 6 days early test (5 days left until AF is due now!)
Are you having any other symptoms?? Keep me updated and best of luck x Thanks

Good luck to you.

I remember TTC well - I never felt more convinced I was pregnant than when my period was due (and arrived). Mother Nature is a cruel mistress.

I hope it happens soon for you!

Girls please don't test so early as it will just consume you and highly unlikely to get positives at 8dpo.

Wait until af is due.

I know someone who tested 3 times between 10dpo and af due and got negatives then positive when 2 days late.

Try hang on as the disappointment of a negative when you are convinced it should be positive is hard

@Sydneey

I'm 10/11 dpo today, leading upto today i've had sore boobs for 6 or so days, felt dizzy, sharp stabbing pains in abdomen.

This morning I ran to the toilet as I felt so nauseous but wasn't sick.

Today I've gone to the loo and absolutely devastated that AF had arrived (4 days early?) but it is very pink and light (just about enough to fill a small panty liner - sorry tmi) and I've got mild cramping.

I never had this with my first pregnancy, thinking could it be implantation??

(still hopeful Sad)
