Could these symptoms be early pregnancy signs or am I overthinking?

[Bakeycakes]

Just wanted some human clarification on some bodily changes that seem to have happened to me in the last week or so which I'm beginning to think might be signs of pregnancy.

We're actively trying for a baby so there's an element here it might be wishful thinking but I'm due on tomorrow. Typically pretty regular and there would be some signs as a rule, I've not had the same symptoms as i typically would, in this instance my boobs are so painful I can barely touch them which is unusual, and i seem to have an increase in discharge which feels like a period flood when it happens, but isn't. There's been some slight spotting, which isn't uncommon and some stomach pains but not anywhere near as bad as my period pains would be. What's become more noticeable is my body odour, I stink! I shower twice a day, I've changed my deodorant to see if it's that and nothing and I'm running at what feels like 900degrees during the night.

Am i getting my hopes up or does this sound familiar? I know obviously everyone is different but I'm curious as to whether these symptoms sound like what I think it might be OR whether I've got something else going on.

Hi, I got my BFP at 15 DPO last week (the day of missed period) and also experienced increased amounts of discharge a couple of days before, which felt like period coming. Around 11 DPO I had mild twinges like period cramps but much lighter which were unusual, and stopped after one day.

How many DPO are you? Will you test? I used FRER tests and got strong line immediately.

Good luck! 😊

This is exactly what's been happening - approx 13 DPO and in the last day or do major discharge feels like I'm leaking type thing (overshare - sorry!) In the last couple of days definite twinges, and on Saturday some spotting which wasn't my usual kind - a more yellowy twinge with blood as opposed to actual blood. It's the night sweats and BO that are tipping me over the edge! Technically due on tomorrow so I've ordered a test from Amazon and we'll see what happens 😅

@Bakeycakes I’ve got my fingers crossed for you, let me know how you get on! 😊

1-2 weeks! 🤗

Congratulations 🎉🤞

Congratulations @Bakeycakes! 🎉 I thought your symptoms sounded reassuring! How are you feeling?

Thank you! I'm so thorough with tracking I just knew something wasn't quite right, so I'm glad it's this and nothing else! I'm very very pleased!! OH is also very excited, wants to tell the world but we'll keep it on the down low until I've atleast got some kind of appointment booked!

@Bakeycakes it’s a weird thing knowing something so big and not telling anyone! If my symptoms allow me to hide it, I’d like to get to 10-12 weeks before telling anyone, and I’ve booked a 7 week scan next week just to check if all progressing as expected (I don’t think I could wait until the 12 weeks one!)

I've thought about one of these scans too - I'm far too early at the moment but I'd like to just have a nosey!

@Bakeycakes do you know how far you might be? Based on first day of last period I’m 6+1 weeks. My partner would wait for the 12 week scan but understands why I want to check earlier!

Aw congratulations!!!

Going from last period 5 weeks ish if my maths is correct! I've seen some places locally that do an early scan so I'm thinking about one of those if I hear nothing from my referral for a while, I know my OH family will be over the moon and he's eager to tell them! If we get the earlier scan that's a way of getting round it 😅
