Pregnancy Symptoms???? 3DPO Need help

[Steph3052]

So I'm new at this...1st month actively TTC. I've been taking prenatals, mag, Maca, and vitex for almost 2 months as well as healthy diet and exercise. Both of my half sisters have PCOS with a hx of MCS so I decided to give myself a leg up. I'm using fertility friend which showed me I have a 29-30 cycle and AF started on 2/7. Using OPKS I got an LH surge on 2/19, we BD every other day leading up to O as well as on the day of the LH surge. I know you don't usually have symptoms in till implantation but I'm having some that I'd like advice on. On the 19th I had a slight streak of blood mixed with my CM which I chalked up to O. On 2/20 I started having urinary frequency every 20-30 mins. My 1st thought was a UTI due to excessive BD but I work in the medical field and I know all the signs and I'm able to get out a decent amt of urine with each trip, the only difference is a stronger smell that's not infection smell just pungent. I only drink water usually 10+ glasses daily and I've made an effort after BD to thoroughly clean the area to prevent a UTI. I've also had breast heaviness and a bout of nausea with a full feeling in my lower abdomen. Am I just mistaking hormones for very early pregnancy symptoms? I'd also like to wean off of the Maca and Vitex but I've heard esp with Vitex that some women can MC once they stop it to early. Any advice around be greatly appreciated😊

Early pregnancy symptoms are typically caused by progesterone, which is a hormone that surges after ovulation (it causes your temperature rise, as well as the symptoms typically associated with PMS). While there's no way you're pregnant at this point, it IS a good sign -- you probably had a good, strong ovulation!!!

Thank you!! Having back pain now, feels like a fist in my left lower back! It's crazy how your body can play tricks on you!!

Congrats on your BFP, praying for a sticky bean🙏

Thanks so much!!!

The body can be so cruel with the mind tricks. Fingers crossed that you caught your eggy and this is your body making a comfy landing spot for it.

3dpo is definitely too early to confirm pregnancy, and as Dill said, this is probably due to the rush of progesterone. I started noticing all sorts of symptoms during my first cycle TTC, but I think I was just picking up on my usual post-O symptoms that I'd never noticed before because I wasn't hoping before. I'm not saying you are pregnant, and I'm not says you're not. It's too early to tell. It is a good sign, though, because it means you've got good hormone levels going on

Good luck!

I'm 1dpo myself, 4th cycle trying.
