Too early for symptoms?

Question

This is our first month TTC. On Wednesday I was 6dpo, I was a teary mess, I cried 3 times at work and all night once I was home. I've had slight cramps on my right side, sometimes I wonder if they are just in my head. I just started charting my bbt after my fertile days but its staying consistent and going up a bit. Well this morning I had a spike it went from 97.5 yesterday to 98.4 today and I am 9dpo. Still having a slight cramp on the right side but also woke up with a stuffy nose and sore throat. So maybe I'm just getting sick?! We BD more than usual this month and during my fertile window. Last night I was also very agitated. Is this all in my head? Are they just AF symptoms?

Answer

If could be any of the above. Our first month TTC I noticed all kinds of "pregnancy" symptoms, but I wasn't preg. I think once we are TTC we are more in tuned to what's going on with our body's and emotions. If it would make you feel better, take a test on 12DPO. If it's a BFN, wait to see if AF shows her ugly face. Good luck and baby dust! ?✨

Answer

Your hormones are changing so it does cause a lot of havoc. Your temps will go up while in the Luteal phase even if you aren't pregnant. They will go back down when AF is due. The cramping on one side is the egg traveling down that Fallopian tube.

Answer

Could go either way. Sadly af symptoms are close to pregnancy symptoms. Super annoying. But I don't think it's too early for symptoms. I just got my bfp about a week and a half ago at 9dpo and I think around 6dpo I noticed some foods I ate tasted a little weird and I nearly cried at every really happy thing on whatever tv shows we were watching at either 7dpo or 8dpo. So who knows! Your mind does play tricks on you though! This last cycle I tried not to put much thought into any "symptoms" I had becaus I felt so many the last few cycles and no bfp.
