Question

I've been having what I believe to be pregnancy symptoms for about a week now.

I've had;

Quite bad nausea, with the worst being yesterday morning. But this eases off during the afternoon.

Friday I just ate all day. I never eat that much food.

Today I am so thirsty (had this on Friday too). Nothing quenches my thirst.

Sore and heavy boobs. They're getting so uncomfy that it wakes me up during the night.

I've been feeling lightheaded and dizzy. This has been quiet bad today. Considering I spend my working day sat at a desk and today I got some lucozade to try and help in case it was my blood sugar levels causing the issue and it hasn't helped at all.

Had cramps yesterday. They were more noticeable for a couple of hours during the afternoon. They aren't like my normal AF cramps either. As my AF cramps are a constant ache and these cramps are more of a pinching sensation.

I've also gone off of chocolate today! That never happens. 
 
I've added my chart from Glo so you can see.

Anyone else get this? Could I be pregnant?

Answer

That's a whole lot of symptoms lol! Not all of them necessarily mean you are pregnant. As a lot of early pregnancy symptoms cause also be AF ones, even if you've never experienced them before it could just be that you're more aware of them cause you're trying. But, saying that it could possibly be pregnancy related. No two pregnancies or women are the same! So what one experiences, another may not. I found at 5 weeks and two weeks before I got my BFP I had really sore and sensitive boobs and nipples. Then at around 7/8w I got morning sickness (the morning part is a lie, it lasts allllllll day lol) & thus didn't go till like 18-20w!! But apart from the tender boobs I didn't have any other pregnancy symptoms and just assumed my boobs were hurting because AF! I did a test a week before I was due on and it was negative, I did one the day I was due on and it was positive & sure enough I was 5w! Id say just wait it out, see if you miss your period or not and then go from there because you truly never know based on symptoms alone. Stay positive though! A week made all the difference for me, even though I was pregnant when I got a BFN im guessing my HCG was low. So defiantly retest if you miss AF & get a negative! Goodluck Hun 🌻

Answer

You're right. A few of them are the same as AF symptoms. It's so hard to tell isn't it. I don't know if I'm just looking for things I don't normally look out for. Although some of these symptoms are so outside of the norm for me that it is making me wonder. Could just be coincidence.
