symptom question

in 1st Trimester

So, I am a usual poster in the TTC board, and thought I'd have issues because of a recent DX of PCOS, but I ovulated on the 2nd and I am wondering how soon is too soon to start showing symptoms of pregnancy? I'm trying to figure out if it's all in my head.

Since the evening of the 5th DPO I've experienced constant nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and bloating. Today, in addition, I have noticed intense unpleasant smells, the urge to pee, (but it's only a light stream cuz I didnt really need to go) thirsty and feeling winded, and a headache with lower abdominal cramps for about the last 3 hours. And I am SO hungry, despite the nausea. I eat cuz I'm hungry, feel nauseous, and it fades to hunger again. It's also not the debilitating nausea I usually experience. I feel like I can go out, run errands, exercise, or clean without it being disruptive. Usually, I'd be hanging off the toilet. 

But here I am, not even able to get a BFP and feeling like I'm four weeks along. Anyone think I'm crazy?

    Oh, the joys of the hellish 2WW!

    Honestly, those could be pregnant symptoms, but they might AF symptoms that crop up all of a sudden (I know I never felt nausea before AF til I started TTC!). 5 DPO isnt too soon for symptoms, but it is too soon to know if it's pregnancy or a weirded out cycle.

    I know it sucks, and I know it'll drive you crazy, but you'll just have to wait to take a test. I'm sorry! Best of luck to you!

    I felt the same things before I got my BFP. Exact same kind of nausea.

    That is how I felt a week or so before my BFP.

    It was about a week after O for me that I thought that I was getting sick or something.  I even considered that I had miss calculated getting my period or I was having the worst PMS of my life.  My husband and I weren't trying, we were actually using protection so I thought it was near impossible for me to be preggers.  6 days before my missed period I tested and nothing.  I didn't get a positive till I was 2 days past my missed period... Longest 8 days of my life.  Good luck!

    I had always read that if you are pregnant enough to feel symptoms, you are pregnant enough to test positive. But I started having symptoms 1.5 - 2 weeks before my period was due. I thought it was all in my head, but turns out it wasn't. All you can do is wait it out and retest. Good luck!
