Not especially - because pms symptoms can be pretty much the same as any very early pregnancy symptoms.
Keep busy, hopefully you've been taking your prenatal vitamins already, and try not to test too early! It's rubbish squinting at a test strip wondering if there's a line. Wait until your period is due, or almost due, and then do a First Response Early Results test!

Good luck! Try and carry on for as long as possible as normal since symptoms don't usually kick in until 6 weeks.

Well, not Gona lie... haven't been taking my vitamins as we've been away on holiday for the past week getting married. Can you recommend any in particular? Some I read about people were saying they messed up there cycles x

Folic acid is the most important one, you should be taking that before TTC to build it up a bit, but better late than never!

I know the Pregnacare vitamins with everything in are really popular but some people have stomach problems with them. Might be easier than buying tons of different ones though!

@Stephanie226 when I was ttc I took a combined folic acid and vitamin d tablet from boots - about £3.50 for 60 tablets. My cycles were between 25-29 days when taking those.

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant on my first cycle TTC, I had what I believe was an implantation bleed, period cramps, backache, sore boobs, so really similar to normal period symptoms! I 100% just thought i was coming on my period

Hi! Also in my first tww, currently 6dpo but not feeling too confident as we only managed to dtd 3 times during the fertile window! Good luck x

Sounds bizarre I didn’t have ANY symptoms, which maybe was a system 🤣 then later on started to get cramps like AF.

good luck 🤞

Stephanie226 · 05/07/2022 12:05

How is everyone doing? AF due tomorrow. On Saturday I had spotting both brown and red but only last a few hours so not sure if that's a good sign or not. I'm on honeymoon still so trying not to focus on symptom spotting however hubby touched my nipple the other night and I nearly went through the roof with the pain! Again not sure if just sign of AF appearing tomorrow x
