New to TTC and am going crazy 2WW!

I am new to the bump, and hope I can get some good advice on here. Well, my cycles are super regular, I have been charting my ovulation and cycles for 6 months so I know it and my body like the back of my hand. With that said we just started TTC and, about 2 days past O I started to have small cramps, about 5 days past O I had light brownish/red spotting. The symptoms I have are spotting and small cramps/twinges on and off, fatigue, sore breast and bloating, which are basically PMS symptoms, but I never get these symtoms before AF. I took a test today, 6 days before AF and nothing. I swear I am pregnant though, it sounds crazy and maybe I am making my body believe these symtoms, but I am going crazy waiting! Any thoughts? Feel free to tell me I am crazy if you think so! :-)

    It could be a lot of things, like:

    1. You're pregnant, and you tested too early

    2. You have PMS, and you're just getting "extra" symptoms this cycle

    3. You're reading into every little twinge and feeling because you've officially started TTC

    My advice: sit back, relax, and enjoy the next week. If/when your period is late, test again and see what happens

    I am new too and can't figure out this website. I have been reading into every symptom for the past two months but my periods haven't been regular so im officially going to start charting soon. I was convinced I was pregnant last week and turned out I started my period a week earlier then what I expected.  I've been reading posts on the site that are so helpful. Did your spotting go away after 2 days?  How many dpo are you now? Hope you get your answers soon! Good luck!

    Hi! Yep just 2 days of spotting, now it's gone. And im 12 dpo. still have small cramps/bloating and my breast feel heavy and hurt, but I'm 5 days from possibly starting, so now all of this could actually be PMS. What a mess. :/

    Hello, new here, and I too am having all kinds of symptoms (super heavy tender breasts, cramping, fatigue), but I'm only 6dpo, so I know it's too early.  I'm curious how it turned out.  Any updates?  Also, any advice on how NOT to read into everything? :) I'm also going crazy...

     

    Thanks!
