Hiya all I'm new to all of this so please bear with me as I haven't yet picked up the lingo! So I'm around 11dpo first time trying for a baby had no previous losses and I'm going to test tomorrow with a frer 1 day before my period is due . I have lots of symptoms so to speak but it's hard as I've just finished a course of antibiotics for a eye infection which some side effects are sickness , thrush & bloating ( so when I had these i was over the moon untill I realised it's probably the tablets and not pregnancy) anyhow I've digressed
Around 7dpo mild tugging milder cramps to period and when I went to the toilet and wiped there was the tiniest bit of pink blood with clear cm I wiped again it was a tad brown then nothing else and when I say a little I mean literally a smudge. I never spot in-between cycles so this was a promising sign and boobs stated to hurt around the same time ( my boobs only hurt now and then before period and it's for a hour or so ) id already been on the antibiotics for one day at this point and it hadn't then dawned on me the side effects. I felt nauseous over that weekend and was sick 4 times started with dry heaving which the was vomit . My breast still super sore well my nips but only in fluctuations and boy are they sensitive to touch I was full of gas which is not like me so I got my hopes up and then again the side effects of the medicine was bloating so that deflated me ( no pun intended) I'm not sleeping well but I'm constantly exhausted I'm so hungry and thirsty from what I've read checking your cervix isn't reliable but I have been and considering I'm due on in 2 days it's high soft and close and lots of ewcm so fast forward to today I'm 11 dpo off the tablets and my symptoms are still the same minus the gas could it be pregnancy or could it be the side effects I know the only way to know is to test but I'm just wondering if anyone else has had similar

ALSO my boobs are so swollen like I'm been blown up in having to wear a sports bra for comfort but I feel like I've had surgery I could just been super symptom spotting but this is really out of the normal for me ahha as well my emotions have been all over the place today I shouted then cried then ate a pot noodle and watched a film all in the space of a hour so sorry if this hasn't made any sense it's my first time please bear with me and any feedback would be much appreciated thank you all take care x
