TTC and Breastfeeding

I am 5 possibly 6 DPO. I woke up this morning with terrible cramps, pain in my lower back and nausea. I have been feeling this way ALL day. My husband is super excited and thinks I am PG. Even though we are actively TTC and we BD on the "right" days, I am in such denial that that could be a possibility because I had such a long and difficult journey getting pregnant and finally carrying a healthy baby to term with my last pregnancy.

Is it too early to be feeling these symptoms? Please feel free to share BFP symptoms.

Hi :) Well I can see that the next 5 or so days are going to be torture for you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no great advice on early pregnancy symptoms as with both my pregnancies I can honestly say I never really had them......It does seem very early for you to be feeling this stuff BUT the cramping could maybe be implantation as the timing is getting close to right for that to be happening. It could also be early Af signs though - with my AF's until recently I was getting cramping mid cycle for days on and off and then nothing and then AF - don't want to discourage you but don't want you to get too excited yet either as it can be so disappointing.

There is a fun website I like to stalk called twoweekwait.com where other women share their stories of preggo symptoms etc. You should check it out and compare notes and then come back as soon as you know what is up with you and share !!!

I wish you great luck and hope that it really IS that much easier for you to conceive this time around!

Hugs, Jasmine

Thanks for sharing the info. In some sense, I'll be very surprised if I'm not PG, because I never have mid-cycle cramping and have have never had these symptoms during the 2WW. My left breast is so tender today. Which day DPO is it acceptable to start testing?

Rose

Well around here any day seems acceptable as we are all so obsessed with Peeing on sticks - LOL....realistically I would say don't test before 9DPO - 12 DPO seems to be the most common time to get a BFP.

GOOD LUCK - I am excited to hear what happens!!!!
