Ghost Symptoms

My husband and I began TTC our first baby at the beginning of this month. I've been feeling so tired, having cramps after sex, sore breasts, fatigue- you name it. I want to hope I'm pregnant, but afraid to get my hopes up. Since my husband and I got married, every month I hope and pray I'm pregnant (even when I was on the pill- hey...it could happen). And every month I cry and get depressed when it doesn't happen. Now that we are REALLY TTC, I am afraid I'm reading too much into what I feel. I have had miscarriages in the past, but was never far along. What symptoms did you have when you were first pregnant? How did it feel different? My period is due in a few days, so I'm trying to avoid testing too early. I'm just so ready to be a mommy. Any help or advice would be appreciated!
