Hey, it's my first time TTC. Reading everyone else's posts, I always hear people going through symptoms e.g spotting, nausea, change in sense of taste etc. I understand everyone is different.

I'm DPO 13 and feel slight cramps, no spotting, extremely sore boobs, my period is nowhere to be seen, which is unusual because my period is normally on time.

My question is, does spotting have to occur before you're pregnant? I know I should be taking a test, but am curious😅
