What were your symptoms?

I know, I know. Everyone hates the “Could I be pregnant?” questions. I’m just looking for advice if anyone has had the same symptoms around the same time or anything. I will obviously test to know for sure.

So, I’ll start off by saying I’m 22 and in a serious relationship. Been with my boyfriend (only boyfriend) since I was 16. Anyway, I’ve been off birth control for quite a while since I no longer have insurance.

My period is due in 5 days, but recently for the last 2 weeks I’ve felt “off”. I have never had sore boobs before a period before and my boobs are extremely sore. I’ve noticed I’ve had thick discharge lately too (sorry if tmi), and it does seem excessive just because I’ve never had this much almost every day. I have been cramping on and off and I don’t often cramp during or before my periods either. I’ve been extremely tired; I’ve been having a hard time falling asleep and then wake up early, stay up a few hours and then I pretty much nap allll day. Yesterday I napped from 11-4... not usual for me, although it could be because I have been staying up late, who knows. My body almost feels like I can feel it beating/pulsing in my uterus. Maybe I’m just making myself feel like I do, but sometimes it feels like I can feel movement (probably gas, but it scares me how many women can have “periods” and still be pregnant). I haven’t really felt nauseous or anything yet, but I do occasionally gag at things... I am super emotional as well. I got mad at my boyfriend earlier for not wanting to massage my aching disc and almost cried over it. I have been wanting to cry at heartwarming videos I see on Facebook or I get mad at the littlest thing. A week ago I got so mad at my boyfriend for not getting me a blizzard from DQ like he said he would after work that I ignored him for 3 hours and finally got it myself. I never get mad at dumb stuff like that. It’s embarrassing. He has never seen me like this and has been wondering what is wrong.

My boyfriend has also mentioned a few things to me, like asking if my senses are off because I took a sip of Powerade and said it tasted like coffee, or saying outside smells like cow poop and he can’t smell anything. He has also noticed that my boobs look bigger and said I seem curvier, like a smaller waist. I’ve been bloated the last few weeks too.

All my symptoms point to early pregnancy or pms (shocker) and I will be testing if I am one day late. All I am asking is when you were in your early stages of pregnancy, what were your symptoms? Did anyone say anything or notice anything that made it seem like you were (like what my boyfriend said to me)? What are your opinions?

I’m just looking for your own stories to help ease my nerves. I’m not really interested in people saying they don’t know or to test because I am going to test.

Thanks in advance!
