Advice or thoughts?

My husband and I are TTC for the first time and this cycle has been really different so I'm looking for some thoughts from all you experienced ladies!?! First off, we have been doing natural family planning for the last 2.5 years to prevent pregnancy and my cycles are extremely regular (which average 25 days). I usually temp, check CM, and CP, but due to having to work out of town this cycle and leaving my BBT thermometer at home, I have no chart for this cycle. Not the best news, I know!

 

Anyway, fairly certain I ovulated Monday 29 July (based on CP and CM and increased libido) and hubby and I did BD on Sunday 28 July. Days following ovulation, CP was low and firm with milky thin white discharge so that's why I say I'm fairly certain on O date (I know it's hard to say without temps). However, did have some extremely light pink spotting (only one time when I wiped) on Wednesday 31 July, which I have NEVER had before. That would've been 2 dpo though?

Since that time I have just felt "off...." Extremely bad heartburn everyday with nausea, abdominal cramping (but not like the normal PMS cramping), feeling hot (which is out of ordinary for me, I'm always cold), extreme fatigue (been sleeping a TON)...all of this is very out of the normal for me, so I was just looking for some input from you ladies?

I won't test for another 6 days, and I can't hardly wait to see what it says....ugh...the waiting is AWFUL!

Also wanted to add that my breasts feel swollen, but not really tender....

I commend you for coming here with charting information- Gold star for you!!

But, it is too early to have symptoms and too early for a test, wait another week or so.

Good Luck to you

I know it is too early for symptoms but I was just curious because these are so out of the norm for my regular PMS symptoms....thanks for your input!

I have had cycles where I have had no symptoms and others where I have had tons.  Cycles can be weird sometimes, even when they have never been weird before.

It is also pretty common- once you have decided to TTC- to notice things that you may not have noticed before.   

Or for that matter - you could be getting sick.

To add to PP, traveling for work could have changed your normal symptoms too. Best of luck. Testing in a week should be pretty accurate. Buy a bunch of dollar store tests if you are impatient like me
