Going insane!!

[Berrylady]

Hi everyone, I am going insane. Currently 6dpo and have been experiencing nausea, cramping, very sore boobs, vivid dreams and my skin has broken out in so many spots.
I know I’m just symptom spotting but it’s driving me crazy. I’m feeling positive about this month but the TWW is driving me nuts! I’m well aware that it’s probably all my in my head as too early to be anything pregnancy related but just wanted to see if anyone is in the same position??

I'm 6dpo. I have one sore boob 😂 I'm pretty sure it's just because of higher progesterone this month as I also had spotting at ovulation which I've not had before! Too early to have any pregnancy symptoms yet anyway so just trying to put it to the back of my mind. How long have you been TTC for and is it your first?

@moosey89 i’ve been TTC since August last year, but have had 5 chemicals in between, but feeling more positive about this one for some reason! This is my second. What about you?

I’m in the same boat! I’m still 2 weeks away from my next period & still a couple days away from my predicted ovulation. Right after my last period ended (last day was 4/7) my husband & I started immediately trying. For the past 6 days I have had mild cramping in my lower abdomen, nausea, either starving or can’t even look at food, and definitely heightened emotions. Can’t tell if I am tricking myself into feeling this way but I don’t know how I can wait almost 2 weeks longer to test! 😅😅

@Berrylady well I hope your positivity is a precursor to a BFP for you! 😁

I've had a crappy time TTC number 1 lol, 2.5 years with my ex, ended in MMC at 11 weeks. 6 months with my current partner, ended in MMC and this is cycle 9 since!

@Plb0008 I think the same! The TTW is the worst! I have everything crossed for a BFP 🤞 x

@moosey89 I’m so sorry to hear that! I am sending lots of baby dust your way. TTC is just so exhausting isn’t it xx

I’ve been TTC 10 months and I’ve now learned to tell myself that you won’t get symptoms before implantation has even happened, so anything before then is just progesterone. Implantation usually happens around day 8-10 so I don’t allow myself to even get slight hopes up about any possible symptoms until day 9 at least.

I agree with you all in general about symptoms being unlikely before implantation although this is interesting research...

@TennisLady yeah it's best not to read into anything! I think we also are hyper aware of every teeny feeling when TTC so what we may actually have been experiencing for years, we only notice when we're choosing to listen so closely to our bodies.

@Berrylady thank you! Yep it's so draining. I wish we were told more when we were younger about how it's not easy for everyone!
