Hey girls,

Its month 5 of ttc for Hubby and I.

Im probably around 9dpo? not quite sure as my cycle is from 27 to 33 days. I am taking Prenatal vitamins (Pregnacare), but have only started taking them this cycle! I did take them previously but stopped, for some reason??

Here's the thing.....

I am having pregnancy like symptoms? (? coz i don't know if they are!)
I am having cramps down below, (these could be AF cramps, coz they feel so similar)

My nipples are really sore, like really, really sore(left one esply!) (again it could be due to AF coming)

I had a cold over the weekend, still got a stuffy nose (probably coz it was cold?)

I am running to the loo more times than i normally do (might be coz of the amount of water i drink, but it is more then usual, i am thinking aswell it could be UTI)

i have others but i am starting to question myself if these are preg symptoms or if its something else!

Could these symtoms have anything to do with the fact that i am taking these prenatals?

I am too scared to test incase its too early as i don't know the exact length of my cycle.

Opions please girls, going a bit crazy!

thanks

You should check out both the thread of Early Pregnancy Symptoms and the thread of AF symptoms. I was convinced I was pregnant last cycle from my symptoms but it was just AF on its way. It's crazy but there is just no way of knowing.
As for how early to test, that is an individual decision. Depends on whether you can handle lots of negatives ahead of a hoped-for positive and whether you mind spending the dosh on the tests.
Good luck!

I don't know, honestly! I actually wish I knew what was going on for you, because you sound almost exactly like me. It all started yesterday for me, which was only 5dpo. However, I have an extreme sensitivity to hormone changes... which I imagine will be less than pleasant during a pregnancy.

The nipple soreness thing... OMG! I always read about people saying how bad their nipples hurt and I was always like, "Pfft, pansies! How bad could it be?" Well, now I know and I guess you know too! It's miserable! It's mostly my right one though. LOL

I wish I could offer you advice. Since I'm in the same boat, I'll go with... Definitely pg! I'm way too early to test, so let me know how it turns out for you... maybe it'll help me too! GL hun!

I think you have kind of answered your own question here with your comments in brackets! These symptoms could be one thing , but could be another. I understand the temption, however until you test you wont know for sure. If you are 9dpo not long to go. Good luck hun. X

i will deffo keep you posted Megg33k.

baby dust to all.

Its a nightmare when we get these symptoms isn't it we all wish for the answer we want, truth is we just don't know...some ladies test at 9dpo and get a others can wait until 16dpo its all a waiting game...

Still sounds very hopeful so fingers crossed for you and keep us all informed
