TWW - Early symptoms or my mind playing tricks?

Hi all,

My husband and I started TTC baby number 2 in late November but so far nothing has happened - aware it’s no time at all to have been trying!

I loosely track my cycles using Glow app and ovulation was listed as 31st December which based on CM was probably accurate.

Is it too early to be having symptoms? TMI alert but my CM is really stretchy and there’s quite a lot of it - more than usual for this time in my cycle I think and I’m constipated. I suffered with this in my last pregnancy but haven’t experienced it outside of pregnancy before.

After a very traumatic miscarriage in December 2021, we are desperate to add to our family so I know my feelings about being pregnant could be creating these symptoms etc but I just wondered if anybody has any experience of symptoms this early? It feels too early to do a test but I feel in limbo!

Some will say yes, and some will say no. It almost doesn't matter as there is no symptom before circa 6weeks indicative of early pregnancy.

Meaning, regardless of signs we use to get our hopes up, the only sure way to confirm will ultimately be a hcg test. That's why there's no way of avoiding the torture of the TWW.

Good luck for test time when it arrives

It's hard to say isn't it, I'm trying for my second as well and had an early miscarriage in august.

I had sore boobs and period pains at 4 weeks with my first, so I'm not sure I agree with the comment about no symptoms prior to 6 weeks

Good luck Op I will be back in the same headspace myself in about 3 weeks

Increased cm has always been a symptom of mine during the tww when I’ve been pregnant! Currently pregnant with baby number 3! Good luck ☺️

I'm also trying to conceive baby number 2 after an early miscarriage. I initially tested positive 9dpo so maybe test in a couple of days?

I'm currently 10po this cycle and losing hope after early tests were negative this morning.

Sending baby dust ✨✨

I need an advice or opinions.
I'm more than aware that is very early, however...
Ovulation was on the 5th of Jan, unprotected sex was on the 4th of Jan. I know when I ovulate as I have ovulation cramps, they usually last a day- day and a half and then nothing until the day before period starts.

I know I'm only 3DPO however, cramps are still here, I have pelvic pain that feels like stretching that goes to the top of the groins, I have lower back pain, breast started being tender today, basically I feel like my period will start even though it's not due for the next 12 days.
I also have white- yellowish discharge.

Those cramps and strange, stretchy feeling is constantly here. I also have runny nose and my throat feels prickly even though I don't have a cold. I'm also sweaty even though I never sweat 🤷‍♀️

The question is- am I going nuts or these could be early pregnancy symptoms???

This would be my third pregnancy,last one was 11 years ago.

Thank you!!
