Is it just wishful thinking?

Hi - I'm new and I'd appreciate advice!

I came off Noriday on 1st August 2010. We were going to wait until my first period before TTC but by 29th August 2010 it still hadn't arrived, so we started anyway.

In the past 3-4 days I have been experiencing the following:

- stomach cramps, like a period, but still no period
- bloating in my lower abdomen - but not in a way I've ever felt before
- today I have needed to pee - A LOT! Had to get up 3 times last night and then very regular intervals during the day

I haven't had a period for years due to the Noriday, so I've no idea when my period would be due or even if I have OV'd. Could the above be signs of pregnancy?

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as I know it's a long shot this early after starting to TTC, but I just feel different.

Hi welcome to BB,

You get loads of help and advice on here.....Well have you done a test yet I would do that and also buy a opk (ovulating predicting Kit) will tell you if you are ov! Lets us know how you get on! Speak soon x

I'm not sure I can test this early. When's the earliest I can test? All the info I can find refers to when your period is due, but I don't know when mine is due. From what I've seen there's no point testing until a couple of weeks after implantation - I'm just wondering if what I've experience over the past few days could be signs of implantation?

It goes without saying that there's still no sign of my period.

You're in a similar boat to me, I had the implant until the 18th August and since then have tried a few times. I'm a bit confused as I haven't had a proper period in 3 years.

I just worked out what time i should ov from a few days after i had the implant removed because I had some spotting.

I wouldn't get hopeful just yet as it takes around 10 days to implant, though you could just be in the 2ww. There are tests that you can take up to 6 days before.

Just wait it out for a few days/weeks and see what other symptoms you have, don't get your hopes up too much but don't lose all hope either! Hoping the wicked witch doesnt come and sending you lots of hope and love

Let us know what happens!! x

They could be signs of pregnancy, or signs that AF will be coming soon. It's impossible to tell because we don't know when/if you O'd. POAS once a week. If you go 60 days without AF or a + preg test, then call your doctor. She can give you meds to trigger AF.

Good luck!

Still no sign of AF, still feeling bloated. I've also now got very tender nipples ad I have been feeling a bit dizzy/light headed today. I'm going to POAS tomorrow morning - again, trying not to get my hopes up too much, but can't help feeling excited!!

Test was Neg Breasts are feeling more tender by the day. If this is all building up to AF then I'm not looking forward to it because I've never had symptoms like this before AF. On the other hand, maybe it's still too early to test. Going to try again in a few days if still no AF.

Good luck honey x

It was wishful thinking! All symptoms subsided a few days ago and AF arrived today. Still at least that means my cycle is getting back to normal fairly quickly and I can at least work out when I might OV!
