8DPO and next to no symptoms

[TTC154]

Hiya, currently TTC, im 25 and my partner is injecting HCG, this means he is highly fertile and we had sex on the day of ovulation. I am 8 dpo and have a few symptoms but not many. I am slightly constipated, very tired and my moods are a bit all over the place. I also have a white milky discharge that seems more than normal. Usually around this time in my cycle, my boobs are so sore when i am due on my period but I dont have any pain at all yet they look and feel bigger. I'm just a bit confused lol! Any help/advice would be so appreciated!!💟

@TTC154 hello! The wait can be so tedious can’t it… I’m also TTC #1 after 2 early miscarriages so I feel your pain when it comes to all the symptom spotting and not knowing what means what. From what I’ve seen on other threads, everyone is genuinely totally different! Some people seem to have lots of symptoms early on and others are 8 weeks along and had no idea. I’d say based on my last two pregnancies, the main things I noticed was a pulling sensation in my uterus which I believe is implantation, swollen/ fuller boobs, tiredness and headaches. It’s confusing as these symptoms are very similar to PMS so the best thing to do is take it as that, and test as close to your period as you can (so hard I know!). Do you know when you’re next due on/ how long your cycle typically is? xx

Hiya, thank you so much for replying! So sorry to hear about the miscarriages☹️ sprinkling baby dust to you and all the luck in the world!!🫶🏼 Yeah the wait is awful and can be so confusing with the symptoms of PMS and the symptoms of pregnancy!😑last night I kept feeling a pulling sensation in the left side of my lower tummy and then the right and then nothing. I am very windy (tmi I know😂) and feeling like gurgling sensations which I’ve never had before! My nipples are sore this morning but my boobs still feel fine, noticed in the shower last night too that my nipples are a lot bumpier than usual if that makes sense and I’ve woken up a bit snotty! I’m due on on Friday this week and my full cycle is usually around 26/27 days xxx

It’s rare to have genuine pregnancy symptoms at 8 dpo? Even if you’ve implanted, HCG won’t rise enough to cause symptoms for a while. Honestly, save your patience for the first trimester waiting.
