first post on the bump

Hi girls,

this is my first post on here.  wanted to introduce myself.  but first i have a question:

My husband and i have just started TTC. and within the past few days I've noticed that i feel.... a little off.  having lower back pains and a very strange "twinge" on my right side.  I've also noticed that the upper part of my stomach (right under my ribs) has become very hard and maybe a bit swollen on the sides.  I hate to get my hopes up that maybe "something" has happened already but at the same time I'm a little scared that something might be wrong with the pain in my side.  Just wanted to know if anyone has any insight on any of this.     TIA

~ok ....here goes my intro:

I'm 30 years old and originally from the north hills.  Currently living near elizabeth PA and I'm a teacher.  Hubby and I are coming up on our 3 year anniversary and have decided to start TTC.  Very excited and nervous about begining to start a family!
