Hi @M4v3r1ck - Yes, this is my first time TTC, and his. So it's all very unknown and makes me feel very anxious! My latest obsession / concern (besides our advancing ages) is that my cycle is only 25 days long. It always has been, not a new thing. Interested to see what OPK tells me about my luteal phase, as i've read that a short one can further complicate things.
Hi @Kitekat81 - Yes, otherwise i've only my husband to talk to, as i'd feel the pressure too much from friends and family.
First cycle of TTC last month and by the time I got to this point I felt thoroughly ill. I wasn't sure if anything was a sign of pregnancy, but I felt so nauseous I couldn't get in a car (even as the driver). Constant headaches for the week before AF and sore boobs. But sure enough, AF arrived right on schedule. Husband was convinced it was my body 'getting ready'. I think I might have caught a bug or something.
This cycle, after what I have assumed is ovulation, my boobs have been even worse. I usually get a bit of tenderness before AF, but I can't sleep on my front and even in my best and comfiest sports bra running is really painful! I had strange heart palpitations, like a fluttering, around day 16/17. I think most of this is probably due to anxiety and being more aware of my body. I need to chill, but it's really difficult to take that advice!
