New to all this!

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and was hoping for some advice.
I came of bc in early July and have had a 26 day cycle. I am now 8 days past ovulation with AF due on 1 Oct.
For the past week or so I have been feeling absolutely exhausted, and since Thursday have been feeling really nauseous and dizzy (like when I walk the ground feels like it is moving under my feet.) Last night I was really sick after managing to supress it all day. Today I have started having some mild cramping. I can't explain it, I just don't feel right, but I don't feel ill as such. I bought a test today but I know its too early to do it.
Has anyone else had these symptoms then a bfp?
Thanks

Welcome! Yes ma'am. Those are very good symptoms. What type of test did you buy? It is rather early but some women do get positive results at 8dpo. Many wish not to test that early because they don't want to see a negative result but the choice is up to you. Since you are new I will warn you now that most of us women LOVE looking at pregnancy tests and analyzing them for each other =) How long is your luteal phase usually?

Luteal phase has been around 13 days. To be honest September was the first month that I properly kept track of things as I thought I would let them settle after coming off the pill in early July. I bought a First Response test (early conception - 6 days before missed period) and it was a bfn Telling myself that its probably too early, but who knows. Will have to wait and see what happens at the end of the week. Haven't got any children so feel a bit clueless for what to be looking out for symptom wise!

Ok, well your symptoms are good ones, although they make you feel like crap =) You still have 5 days so it is very possible that it's just too early! Please don't let it get you down. Did you test with first morning urine?

 

[Pickle79]

I didn't (too impatient ) but will do if no AF on Saturday.
Fingers and toes crossed !

ahh, that can make a difference, especially this early! Good luck to you! FX'd with ya!AND, if you decide to test again feel free to post in the pregnancy test forum for all of the test stalkers (myself included). =)
