Angry, hormonal gremlin before bfp?

The title says it all really. Dh and have been having a break from tracking as it all got too much going in to 3 year TTC without a sniff of a BFP. I have still been tracking my O for the past 3 months just to make sure my data was all accurate for when we do start trying again and I'm 10 DPO today. This morning I actually realised for the last 4 days I have been an absolute crank. Angry, emotional, bloated, hungry and tired (like PMS on steroids!!). Me and DH never argue but ive been so on edge this week we have been bickering the whole time and I know its my fault for being so irritable. This realisation is what prompted me to check when AF was due, but its only Tuesday. So I have just done a test and I feel like I can see something. Am insane?! Anyone else had the mood swings before a bfp. X x x

Everyone is different so you may well have crazy mood swings with a bfp... But my experience is the opposite.

I get crazy mood swings before my period and in pregnancy my mood was the most stable it's ever been.

So my biggest pregnancy sign is a lack of AF symptoms. Actual pregnancy symptoms (boobs, sickness etc) didn't start until I was just over 6 weeks pg - but the lack of PMS was a big green flag.

However some women might get more mood swings before a bfp. So I don't think my experience necessarily rules you out!

Its really out of the ordinary for me to be this irritable and moody. Even with PMS I'm usually just achey and a bit emotional (I love a good cry). It's so strange. I'm sure it's not anything really and just another month of nothing. Its just been a very odd week for me feelings wise somthing seems off... X x x

How did you get on @RCARB ? Hope this was your BFP x

@CTak I haven't tested again. AF is due tomorrow. So I guess time will tell. I have a feeling last week was just a overly cranky one for me, I don't think a BFP is on the cards for me this month but I guess you never know 🤷🏼‍♀️. I just hope the mood swings are not going to be a regular thing, for mine and DH sake 🤣 x x

I thought that about this cycle too but now I'm sat here four weeks pregnant so you never know!

Still, I'm sure your DH will appreciate his stay of execution 😂got my fingers crossed for you x

Af arrived today, so guess I'm just a grumpy cow 🤣. Nevermind. I shall have a large glass of wine with my tea tonight! On we go.. Xx
