8 DPO — Emotional, Cramps, Discharge & Everything Feels Intense This Cycle 😩 Anyone Else?

Hey Glow fam 💛

I’m currently about 7–8 DPO, and even though we had sex after ovulation (according to my app), this cycle just feels different — especially emotionally and hormonally. I know it’s still early, but some of these symptoms are way more intense than my usual luteal phase, and I’m wondering if anyone else has felt this before a BFP.

Here’s what’s been going on:

• Super emotional/sensitive — crying over everything, and just feeling all the feelings really deeply

• Twingey cramps — especially near my ovaries when I sit or move suddenly

• White creamy discharge — more than usual and still sticking around

• Vivid dreams — started right after ovulation and continuing now

• Mild nausea/dizziness — felt kind of off and floaty yesterday

• Areola itchiness — random but definitely noticeable!

• Fatigue — was soooo tired yesterday but feel a bit more normal today (which is kind of messing with my head)

• Hot flashes — random waves of heat that come and go

• Headaches — dull and annoying the past day or two

• Frequent urination — more than usual for me, even without tons of water

I know technically the timing wasn’t perfect since sex happened after my predicted ovulation day — but my symptoms this time are stronger and different, especially emotionally. It’s hard not to wonder if something is going on in there 🤍

Anyone else ever experience more intense post-O symptoms even when the timing felt off — and still got pregnant? Would love to hear your stories or TWW buddies to wait it out with 💫
