Hi all.

I'm TTC and am due on next week, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that I've "done it" this time. We've been casually trying for a few months off and on, but this month we started ovulation tracking and everything.

I've never been pregnant before so I really don't know what to look out for before my missed period/test. So I'm just wondering if any of you guys could tell me if the following weird symptoms are a promising sign (some of these may be TMI. Apologies in advance:

-getting period "cramps" wayyy before they usually do. Sometimes I feel like I've started my period.
-My breasts feel like they've grown. They were large and in charge anyway, so this isn't the most helpful. They're sometimes painful and very heavy feeling.
-i feel bloated.

  • I feel proper weepy. DH showed me my puppy on video call this morning and I actually wept like a baby.
  • my CM has been... Almost like PVA school glue.. or jelly-like like when I'm ovulating.
-i can smell horrid things others can not. Or people can smell food, and it smells like poop to me. -ive had stomach flutters. -ive been feeling weirdly sick. Like a nausea you get when you're nervous or going over a bridge.

I ovulated about a week and a half ago and had "it" every other day throughout the window, last was Saturday this week (it's now Thursday).

Am I just imagining promising things? I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm stopping myself from looking at prams!

Thanks everyone!

Exciting times! I have just had my first BFP - and my early symptoms were very like yours. Bigger breasts and achey belly definitely. I also cried because they didn’t have my favourite cake at the shops. Good luck OP, fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Thank you. I really really want this. Just don't want to put all my eggs in the one basket because I'll know be so upset if I'm not.

I honestly feel like I'm about to Start. And I'm really not. It's so strange! Hormones are weird!
