Hi everyone.
im new to this forum, and to everything parenting. I’m 43 and TTC for the first time. I know time is it on my side, but so far I have no perimenopause symptoms. I’ve never had a pregnancy scare, and have never TTC before, I have PMDD (not officially diagnosed, but trust me, I have it). I had the implant removed two months ago, and was advised I could start TTC right away but thought it best to leave it a couple of months. This is my first month trying, and I got the static smiley on the ovulation test. I was ecstatic as I was worried I wouldn’t see it given my age. I’m now 7dop and driving myself crazy with not knowing, I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy from time to time with some nausea (not a result of the dizziness) and a little crampy. I’m thinking I’m more likely to have a viral infection than to be pregnant, especially as I’ve felt like my PMDD symptoms are starting to creep in. I’m not normally a very emotional person, but this morning, I wanted to cry for no reason. I’m not sure what the point of this post is, other than I guess to know that I’m not alone in this. My DP already has children, so we know he’s fertile. I haven’t tested as I know it’s too early. AF is due on the 24th so I guess I just need to wait….
