pregnancy signs or getting crazy...????

Hello! Back again...Well, I think this month me and my dear hubby did everything ''by the book'', trying to conceive...and must say we enjoyed it too!! However, the waiting period will eventually drive me crazy, so I was wondering if I could get some help here... I am currently 2 dpo (please don't judge, I know it is TOO soon) but what I have noticed is that yesterday I had a pounding headache (they usually appear only before AF), my CM has become creamy today, have mild cramps and my boobs feel really heavy and full but not sore any more (even though I am not sure how to define sore...can anyone describe the feeling?and I have a runny nose). I know I am obsessing but could this be related to pregnancy or does it have to do with ovulation (had really bad cramping on ovulation day but not much CM, as far as I can tell)? I know pregnancy symptoms are related to HCG which is not there before implantation, but still something must be happening to our body even before that, right?... Anyway, thanks in advance for any answers and please wish me luck this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is kind of weird....cramping (AF like cramping) has stopped...and it is weird because normally it is now I should be getting some serious pre-AF cramping...Hmmmmm....Probably I am reading too much in it... Sthg else too: last night I had dinner with my mother (just chicken breast and some rice, less than half a portion and some salad) and immediately after I felt I couldn't breathe properly, my stomach was really bloated, I felt gassy and like I had needles piercing my stomach...Once I drank some sparkling water (and burped a lot-TMI), I was fine... I've never had anything like that before, especially with such small portions...Has anyone felt similar discomfort? I am sure it was not food poisoning, since my mum was fine (we decided to split the same portion) and I had no wish to throw up or any diarrhea.

I know you are most definitely right....BUT I also know it is too dam hard to relax and don't think about it, as I am pretty sure most people here feel the same.... As I said it is the first month I have been having all these symptoms, which, although I know are also there during PMS, never occurred for me that early in my cycle... That's why I am feeling hopeful! On the other hand, you are right, if we want sthg so badly and get obsessed about it, our body and mind can ''create'' symptoms that are not even there... I guess I will have to wait and see... CD 21 today.... Another 6 days until AF is supposed to come....Thank you for sharing, it is very useful when someone tries to protect us from getting our hopes really high...

Hi, Last month i went through the same thing my period was 3 weeks late!!! i had every symptom there could possibly be!! i was soo positive i was pregnant and i went and got a blood test and it was negative i stopped stressing and periods came a day later!

If you believe you are pregnant or try topick up on signs you will convince ur body you are hence bringing all the symptoms with it, Some people have what is called a phantom pregnancy where they even get the belly.. (there not really pregnant) if you r so positive get a blood test done in a week or so they are the earliest test u can do! But please stop looking at every symptom as pregnancy i learnt that the hard way.

I wish u the best of luck!

Ok, 1 more week of waiting...Af is supposed to come next Sunday... Creamy cm continues (definitely not yeast infection), headache throughout the day, and last night I woke up by very intense twinges on left abdomen... It is very annoying that any of these symptoms can actually be PMS....Ghrrrr....

Thanx, ladies!!! I am currently on 5 or 6 dpo and the new ''symptoms'' I have are: increased white cm, sore nipples, very vivid and mouthwatering dreams about food (!!!) and more cramping... I must add that apart from cramping 3-4 days prior AF, and sore nipples on ovulation day, I never get any of these ''symptoms'' throughout my circle... What do you think? Any ideas? Anyone having similar symptoms and finally got a BFP???.... TWW is driving me crazy!!!! Thank God for these forums!!!!...Cheers!!!!

It looks like I'm only able to upload via computer. I tried it once a few months ago and it wouldn't let me, but I dunno if that's due to user error.

I know how you feel, the constant wondering every month its horrible.  I am on day 26 of my cycle and am getting signs but I have this same thing every single month only difference this month is I was pregnant last mth but lost it.  So am now even worse thinking about if I am or not all day... When I was pregnant last mth my signs were hunger, really vivid dreams (more nightmares), that was probably a wek after ovulation.. I was really moody with my husband I hated him other than that was happy where as usually I get quite down....that was it! good luck

I think instead of CSM they mean to put to put can. It looks like they're on a iPhone and it put that when they mistyped. (Im on one as well and it just did that)

Sorry but that .. It was kind of tricky for me

They could be anything. I doubt any of it's related to pregnancy though, only because it is the hCG that causes those, and you wouldnt have any in your body just yet. (As you're already aware of, lol) If I had to guess, I'd say it's from ovulation personally. I do hope though that you'll get your positive this month though. Good luck!!

Every woman knows their body is what I like to think. I know it's hard but give it a couple more wks and monitor ur symptoms.  Have u been taking ur prenatal vitamins? I don't want to discourage u but anything is possible. After I mc and ttc again I had the same symptoms that I had before when I was preg( didn't know I was at the time) but af came. It CSM b kind of tricky. Keep a journal of everything . I wish u all the best
