I'm being thick......

Hello - can you help me out please?
I've just come off the pill after being on it non-stop for 4 years. I never had any period pains/symptoms at all so am just learning how my body reacts to a "normal" cycle.
We're TTC, but not actively IYSWIM. Last time we had sex I was ovulating (14th and 15th Nov). Next period is due 28th Nov.
Since Monday, I have been very tired (going to bed at 8pm), my boobs have been quite sore and I've been a bit emotional (more than normal anyway ). This is the first time I've had this since coming off the pill in August.
I think it's far too early for pregnancy symptoms - so what I want to know is - what do you normally experience a couple of weeks before you're due? I really need to start putting my symptoms into context with my cycle. Doesn't help that my memory's as crap as it is!
I know everyone's different, but any advice etc will be gratefully received.

Also don't worry your not being thick! I was on the pill for 4 yrs before having ds and hadn't had a period all that time so i took ages to get into the swing of the blood things (pun intended)

Thanks for coming back so quick! I'm making a note for future reference - can't misinterpret then.. Would be just my luck though to get caught though, I go on holiday in nine months. My DH is threatening to go on his own
