Early Symptoms

I've been experiencing some noticeable symptoms. I'm still 6 days before AF is due so I'm holding off testing but I wondered if anyone else experienced these symptoms in VERY early pregnancy

I have developed little white bumps on my areola. They look like tiny little whiteheads/blisters but they're really tiny. There's loads of them surrounding each nipple.

My boobs feel so heavy. I'm a 'big girl' anyway but they're extremely sore and weighty

I've been feeling a little nausea but nothing extreme, just unexplainable. Like motion sickness without the motion, and it goes as fast as it comes on

I've been crying at quite literally everything, then in the next second felt really agitated and snappy. My mood swings are off the scale!

I honestly can't tell anymore what is a symptom and what's wishful thinking but this 2ww is driving me crazy!

Also feeling a little nauseated today and very tired. Even lifting my arms to brush my hair, it feels like lifting led!

You said you're 6 days from AF - unfortunately all symptoms you're experience are caused by rising progesterone, which is the same in early pregnancy and in the luteal phase you're in right now.
The 2WW is very hard, I know! And my body tends to do weird things each time. I feel like it invents something new each cycle.
So basically yes, could be pregnancy related, but could also be not pregnancy related. Not a good answer I know and I'm sorry :)

What I like is this site. This one for statistics on symptoms per dpo: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/early-pregnancy-symptoms/dpo-chart.php?dpo=6
and this one to determine the chances of getting a BFP: www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/results-by-day-past-ovulation.php

@Bundaberg84 thank you for replying! I've never been more aware of my body! I'm sure i get all the same symptoms in the run up to AF I've just never paid such close attention to them as now! x

I took a break from TTC for a month last year and tried to focus a lot of what my body is doing in the 2WW. I had ALL the pregnancy symptoms, I was thisclose to use a pregnancy test even though we didn't DTD at all in the fertile week ;)

@Bundaberg84 just had a look at that website, it's brilliant! So informative. Thank you for the link x
