So I have been trying to get pregnant....

It’s now only almost a week and a half, since ovulation. My stomach has been feeling like it’s shifting, I feel full after eating an orange (id normally be starving if that was all I’d had by 12pm!), I feel bloated, I feel like I’ve put on weight and people must think I’ve got the fattest stomach in the world..!!

I’m trying not to take a pregnancy test since I’m due for my period in 7 days and it’s so early. But I’m struggling to not be hopeful or feel like it’s something bad I’m ignoring because I really want to be pregnant. Does anyone recognise the symptoms?

Thanks
Ash

These are all the symptoms that are also associated with period coming, so stay optimisyic but realistic.

The symptoms you are describing, from my experience, come along about 5-6wks after a BFP, but I’ve only been pregnant twice and everyone has very different experiences.

I would advise you relax, continue folic acid and carry on as you would normally and wait for the date of AF. Test after that date.

Thanks😊 yep, think I’ll continue to try and distract myself for the next week at least! I’m very consistent with my period and the pain associated with it, so this is all new to me.

Fingers crossed😊
