I'm hoping hubby doesn't catch me on here He hates when I Google pregnancy symptoms. We've been TTC for 9 months, but this month I'm having some different symptoms. According to my ovulation tracking, I'm 8 days past Ovulation today. I've had very tender breasts for three days now, and my husband said they look a little 'swollen.' I also had some light cramping today. I usually do not cramp before AF only during AF. Anybody know if these could be symptoms? I know early symptoms are like PMS, but I'm so hoping for a BFP this month.
The first symptom of pregnancy is a positive test.

We hate that here too.
Your symptoms could be pregnancy related or PMS related. Nobody knows until you have a +HPT. If you're pregnant enough to have symptoms, your pregnant enough to have a +HPT, so you should probably just got pee on a stick. No need to update us with results.
Guys, I'm sorry. Didn't realize that posting on here would yield such negative comments. I'm just gonna retreat, thanks anyway. Good luck to you all...

The dirty delete was unnecessary. You've been quoted....
Just in case you do come back, OP, I'd like to offer you an anecdote:
A few cycles ago, after 20 something years of menstruation, I had breast tenderness leading up to AF for the first time EVER. Ever. Ever ever. In all of my 33 years of living. And guess what? I wasn't pregnant, it was just a fun new PMS symptom my body decided to adopt.

Or, you could have read the thread at the top in all caps that says: "READ ME BEFORE POSTING"
You could have followed the guideline of not asking us if your KTFU, and you would have not yielded such negative comments.
You know, I signed up for this website a while back. I haven't used the forums until just now. I was trying to delete the whole thread. I'm sorry, I suppose I should have read more into the culture of The Bump before posting. I was hoping to find a community of like women. Struggling to conceive is hard enough without all of this, though. Again, I apologize. I think I simply misunderstood the purpose of these forums.

@MrsStephens1990 - you found a community of like women. I say this with kindness, so please don't take it as snark, but the women of this group (to which I'm quite new to) are helpful, kind and considerate. What you did here is against social norms, regardless of what pregnancy site you choose to use. You effectively walked into a room of strangers, spouted off some personal info and asked a question (that's against the TOU of this site) and expected us to guess if you *could* be knocked up. If you choose to stick around - lurk, participate and you'll find you've made a good decision to be here. Good luck with TTC!
Stick around OP. These women are ahh-maz-ing. The TWW thread is made daily and that's where we all post to ask questions and commiserate. You'll learn a lot here and find yourself a part of a smart, supportive community. Promise.

Lurk a little and let your thread die. You apologized without getting crazy (which is awesome!) and it sounds like you might learn a little something! Give it some time and you'll figure out what the culture of the board is and soon you'll be rolling your eyes right along with us!
Just in case you do come back, OP, I'd like to offer you an anecdote:

So, long story short, symptoms =/= pregnancy.
Yep. I had similar weirdness happen while I had the nexplanon implant. They appeared to grow a cup size overnight, out of nowhere. Not pregnant.
On that note (*pregnancy mention*) when I was pregnant, I have never in my life been so sure I wasn't pregnant and had zero symptoms but took a test just in case before taking certain meds. Boom, pregnant.

It's almost like you're trying to ask us if you are KTFU. We don't know. HPT's, they know.

A test is really, truly the only way to tell.
