My TTC story....would love advice! - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

Hi everyone,
I would appreciate anyone who can help me analyze these symptoms! I'm driving myself nuts and could use some help!
My husband and I just recently started trying to conceive. The first day of my last cycle was Thursday, July 20th. I'm fairly sure that I ovulated on Wednesday, August 2nd. This was day 14 of my cycle and I had some pretty bad cramping and very heavy discharge. My husband and I had sex every day leading up to my "O Day", including that day, but then had to stop because he went out of town.

Anyway, last Sunday night I was woken up in the middle of the night with cramping, much like what I would have while on my period. They were bad enough to make it hard to fall back asleep and they would wake me up throughout the night. Yesterday the cramps were still there, but much milder. Today I can feel them, but even more mild and less frequent.
Beginning today, my breasts are starting to get sore. I'm also very gassy and moody. There have been a couple of times when I felt like I wanted to start crying for no reason!
I know I am probably overanalyzing things, and what's really tough is that the symptoms of PMS are so similar to symptoms of pregnancy (or so I've been reading). I just wonder about the cramps. Do you think there's a chance it was implantation? Or just bad egg drop soup I had for dinner?

Any advise/encouragement would be appreciated. I spend so much time on this message board these days! So nice to have a group of women to talk to that can relate!

P.S. Is anyone else on the same cycle as me? It would be great to get a "same cycle" thread going!

It is much too early for implantation. You might possibly have implantation bleeding around days 7-12 days past ovulation. Some women do, some don't. It is also quite early for symptoms since technically you aren't even pregnant yet -- you are officially pregnant at implantation, if it occurs.

You just started your 2 week wait, and there is usually a 2WW thread on here. Those are the folks who are your cycle buddies!

Wishing you lots of luck and patience!

Hi texmiss, there is a 2WW thread called 'yet another 2WW, anyone.....' on here. You are more than welcome to come join us on it. My cycle buddies are the best and it is awesome to have people who are in the exact same spot as you. Best wishes!

Hi texmiss,

I read your thread and I to am on the same day. I had a IUI on Aug 2. That means we are six dpo. I think it is too early really to see any signs. I have had a lot of gas and a lot of CM but I not sure if it means anything. This pass February I found out I was pregnant. The only sign I had was implatation bleeding on day 8 after ovulation. Then a few day later I had sore boobs and had a heavy feeling down their ( Like AF was coming). I tested Positive 12dpo. Sadly I ended up having a miscarriage at 9 weeks. I am just waiting again for day 8 to see if I have implatation bleeding. I am going to take a early digital pregnacey test on Sunday. It might be to early but I am having a hard time waiting. Baby dust to you and I will be praying for you!!!
