Symptoms are driving me crazy am I pregnant?

Hi everyone sorry about this! Me and my partner are trying to conceive and I have a few things that are driving me crazy!

I’m currently 5/6 days after ovulation. I have had cramping in the lower part of my abdomen for the past two days my boobs are incredibly sore to the touch, I’m really tired and also randomly really snappy! Could this mean I’m pregnant or is it just PMS kicking in?

Sorry but this is literally driving me to distraction especially knowing it’s too early to test!

Most common day to implant is 9DPO and you can't implant earlier than 6DPO - so whatever you started feeling at 4DPO was not pregnancy related.

Truth be told all pregnancy and pre AF symptoms are caused by progesterone so can be symptoms of either, and should probably just be ignored to be on the safe side. I've had the whole lot over the past year - implantation pinching, lightning crotch, nosebleeds, metallic taste etc - and not a single BFP to show for it!

Most of it is in your head. I’m saying this through bitter experience. Symptom spotting will drive you insane.

You might be pregnant but you can’t tell until you’ve got a positive test.

Hopefully it’s just too early. Good luck.

Thank you both! I did have a feeling it was just in my head because I want it to happen so much! I’ll just have to wait and see I guess!

@misscarey94 I can't blame you! I'm the same each cycle, no matter how hard I try not to - can't help but get my hopes up :)
