am I imagining things?

Ok so I have to wait at least a week to test and its killing me! Last period was april 17th but my cycles are usually 30-34 days. I have no idea when I ovulated but there was no lack of trying this month two and a half weeks after period I thought I was starting af again SUPER early. Turns out it was just light spotting only when I wiped and it only last that day. the last couple days I have felt slight stretching feeling in my uterus. A slight throbbing (mostly in the right) breast. And today I noticed that my boobs have BRIGHT blue veins running through them and to the nipple that I KNOW were not that dark before. I've been getting a bit nausious on and off but that might be because I have a slight cold right now. I have a feeling I am pregnant and am hoping it is not wishful thinking. I tested two days ago BFN but I know it was WAY to early.....just couldn't help it! What do you guys think? Is it all in my head?

Unfortunately, the early symptoms of pregnancy are caused by progesterone... the driving hormone in your luteal phase? Progesterone. So it's kind of a catch-22 - they might be pregnancy symptoms, they might just be luteal phase symptoms from normal progesterone... but good luck to you!

Ah! We are in the same boat! I just posted a thread earlier this week with almost the exact same title. I was 5 dpo when I posted it and having lots of fatigue, nausea etc. Opinions were split- some ladies have experienced it, some not, some think it's too early. I will be testing next Wednesday (14 dpo)! How about you?

Good! I'm glad someone else is right there with me. My cycles are either 30 to 34 days so the earliest I can test is Tuesday!

did you test? did you test? !!!!

Oh, I am right there with you down to the day of our last AF!!! sending you BFP vibes!

I tested this morning and got a BFN... but... I have been feeling that slight nauseous watery mouth feeling the past few days... That's so unlike me, even for AF symptoms. I'll try to wait a few more days and test again if no AF.

Do y'all think it's possible to have symptoms before a test registers a BFP?

I tested this morning too and BFN. But I am still feeling symptoms that I usually dont have with AF. SO hopefully we both get our BFP still!!!

Snuggly, yes! We do I have a thread by almost the exact same title as this one that people have expressed their views on early symptoms- check it out! Let us know when you test again!

I definitely think it is possible to have pg symptoms before getting bfp. With dd, I KNEW I was pregnant right after we dtd, but for sure the day before af was supposed to show up. I tested at 11pm that night and it was faintly positive. I couldn't pinpoint why I knew it, other than I just felt off. Good luck to you all!
