7dpo symptoms or just pre period?

[S23xxx]

Hi! I think I'm about 7dpo so might be far too early to ask this type of thing but thought I'd chance it!
I've been having some symptoms that are quite strange for me in this part of my cycle:
Some nausea (not a crazy amount but last week I had to go home from work)
Increased appetite
Slightly thirstier than usual
More sensitive smell
Stomach cramps that feel like very mild burning
Super tired, like I'm tired within 2 hours of waking up
Extremely sore boobs, my bra hurts them, touching them hurts, speed bumps hurt...
Low moods and feeling very overwhelmed
Bloating
Greasier hair than usual, a day after washing you could literally fry chips on my head

Not sure if my cycle is just changing due to work stress as a lot is going on or if it's something else, trying to not get my hopes up but I definitely feel very off this cycle and it's not normal for me at all.

I know this was super long so I'm so sorry about that, this potential thing wasn't planned at all and It's a lot to deal with for the first time, so I appreciate any responses and help!! Thank you xx

I am 1 day ahead of you and had a few similar symptoms to you, including the bloating and burning feeling in belly, I believe at this stage there is very little difference between pms and pregnancy symptoms and progesterone levels are peak around 7dpo which can cause symptoms!

Its such a long wait isn't it?

When are you going to test? Good luck!

They’re so similar it’s so frustrating!! I think if it wasn’t for the sore boobs that I’ve had for literally 6 days now, and the burning crampy feeling I wouldn’t have thought anything of it.

I was thinking tomorrow as it’ll be 9DPO using a first response early and clear blue early, then every 2 days unless my period comes :) The waiting game is killing me! How about you??

Hey 👋 I am 9dpo today, and since yesterday my boob's!!!!! Super super painful. Pointy nipples and ouch! Im a duty manager and first day off today from Thursday and have slept the whole morning away.. weeing every few hours. And so thirsty. I actually am not trying to conceive just yet tho, (first month) took 2 years for 2nd son and weeks for third. Im 37 🤢 and me and hubby had a chat about having another. I go in waves of waiting another to be super scared. Our oldest is 20 so was young parents and a 10 year age gap between 1 and 2 16 months 2 and 3 and will be a 10 gap between youngest and if im pregnant. I have all boys and absolutely have adored raising them, so think a baby would slot right in. Good luck for the test!!

Oh wow that’s amazing!
The tiredness is really bad isn’t it!!! Gosh don’t get me started, my boobs can’t even handle a bra right now it’s terrible

A baby would slot in perfectly I think but good luck regardless!!
Thank you!

I’m pregnant currently (early stages) and have been re-reading my diary from when I had a successful pregnancy to compare. This is exactly what I had written:

“I’d also had really sore boobs (had to wear my bra open at the back)”

So the boob thing definitely sounds like pregnancy! All you can do is test 😊 (once enough days have passed)
