4DPO - cravings & Heightened sense of smell

[Haywishes]

Hi all!

I have been TTC For last three months and still awaiting the baby dust to come our way! This month feels different however, I do not want to get my hopes up as each month when AF comes it absolutely devastates me.

For the las two days I have had cramps and developed tender breasts - this happens when AF was on its way however this month it is too early for these by 5-6 days, I am not due AF till Jan 9/10th. Yesterday I noticed I developed a strong sense of smell, I cannot bare to open the bin or dish washer and have had to move my perfume bottle to another room as I find it too strong (it is not a strong perf) I have never had this before and today I have needed to have lemons and drank the squeezed juice neat, I feel the need for a sour taste but the lemon juice is not satisfying my craving! Usually I shudder at the taste but today nothing! I feels far too early to have this reaction when I have not had a BFP yet and too early to test. Other symptoms are feeling very wet (sorry tmi) and very tired.

Has anyone had similar happen to them? I would appreciate comments, I am really new to TTC and signs etc!

I'm also 4dpo and having symptoms though of course it's said to be too early. I have terrible low back pain and I occasional pinches/cramps in front. Woke up with bad headaches yesterday and today, and an feeling quite nauseous right now. Can't believe there's still 5 days til testing! Last pregnancy I got a bfp at 9dpp so trying to hold out til then....

I am worried it is my mind playing games on me and trying to not think about it, I hate the Tww! Were you sure of a BFP prior to testing with your first? I will hold out to 9dpo at the very least! Wishing you luck!!

My back pain is even worse today, and my temp dipped quite a ways. I was pretty sure I was pregnant last time, I woke up 9dpo and wasn't surprised at all by a bfp ;-) I'm not as sure this time. Any new symptoms?

Today I am suffering from dull cramps mixed with odd sharper pains, have a feeling of fullness and my boobs are sensitive and throbbing/sore -all that in addition to my heightened sense if smell and craving for all things lemon! Tried so hard today to not think about a BFP although I have never had AF symptoms this early, although knowing my luck there is a first for everything! :-/

How are your symptoms today?

I am 4DPO today... from 2-4dpo I have been having very realistics dreams, where when I wake up I have to think for a few minutes because I am confused as to whether it is real or not - I very rarely dream, or remember them at least when I wake up. At 2DPO I was holding some old papers and had to throw them out because all I could smell from them was the soggy-cardboard-vomit smell, and at 3DPO I had a wrap with feta, but it had so much I took out half. I ate it no problem but when I was done I almost puked because no matter how far it was from me on the table, it's all I could smell. Other than that from 2-4DPO I have either had gas (TMI) or the bubbly gassy feeling in my tummy with mild cramping.
To be honest, I feel like I am reading too far into my symptoms as it is so early... but still fingers crossed!! Going to start testing at 10DPO which is 5 days before AF is due!
