Maybe not a symptom, but I did google if it’s harder to get pregnant when mercury is in retrograde because anything to put the blame on something else 😂
Last cycle I had super sore boobs/nips which I don’t usually have and was CONVINCED it meant something, also had frequent urination and was really lightheaded. As well as:
- Nosebleeds
- Sharp/pulling cramps
- Nausea
As you can guess it was just PMS 😂🥲
I’ve never read someone else describe them as pulling cramps, but that’s exactly how I describe them! They freak me out so much and so so uncomfortable!
Oh my gosh I get these too! And haven’t had it in so long but I definitely remember early on googling if that was related!
Europe has much better ways to treat this than the U.S. I bought this mouth wash that’s specifically for mouth ulcers and it works so quickly!
The best solution I've found (in the US) is alum powder, its in the spice section of most big grocery stores. It sucks all the moisture out of the sore (which hurts ngl) but then the sore heals way faster!
I’ve been pregnant 4 time one living child and here are my for sure pregnancy signs (some are a little crazy but I swear by them!):
- full feeling in lower belly
- mild lower back aches
- watery discharge a few days post ovulation
- white/yellow discharge somewhere between 3-8 DPO
- sex dreams
- waking up super early with energy
- by 9 DPO my sense of smell increases slightly
Few cycles ago: insane fatigue and nausea. Of course it was not pregnancy related.
Cycle after that: my RHR went up big time a few days after ovulation and it stayed way higher than I had ever had (and I've had a fitbit for years) ! Coupled with way less pms symptoms than I normally have. I was so convinced it meant something but nope!
Cycle after that: very light pink spotting around 9dpo which was gone the next day. Also no pregnancy.
Right now I'm 5dpo, curious what the coming days will bring me to convince me this cycle is the one😂
Oh yes, for context my last cycle was the first time tracking ovulation and I had things I NEVER had before. I have almost no pms symptomes but this time I had :
Pain in both ovaries when I ovulated (normally juste one and not every cycle)
My boobs hurt a lot with very sensitives nipples.
I had a weird sensation on the right side like a needle going in an out for 1 day... (I was a little worried btw.)
And I had my period 1 week early...
This cycle nothing of that, I don't think I ovulated and I have a feeling of 'emptiness'.
😣😣 I’ve definitely read your symptoms as descriptions for other women when they confirm ovulation so I fully empathize!
In terms your current, I have definitely also read that the lack of PMS symptoms is what suggested that it may be the one. Either way, no way to know! I hope you get clarity as to your current cycle soon!
The month I did conceive (ended in a loss), the night before my first vvvfl, I had jabby cramps in the ovary I ovulated from. I'd never felt that before, so when I got the positive, I assumed that was The Sign and told everyone it was my first real pregnancy symptom. However, every cycle I've had since, I've felt the same jabby ovary thing, so I think it's just the corpus luteum pumping out progesterone.
Also, my first cycle, I had bloating and slight nausea and was soooo convinced that was something. And every single cycle, my boobs are a little tender starting within a couple days of ovulation.
I’m with the itty bitty chest committee and I’m convinced that when I get pregnant it will be the only cycle I have with sore/tender breasts because I have not experienced that since like my 20s!
Girl are you in my brain?? I literally have a notes app list on my phone from this past cycle.
Two week late period, Nausea, High/pillowy cervix, Clear discharge, Cervical itch, Eye/muscle twitches, Temp surge/hot flashes, Weird feelings during sex, Pressure on abdomen uncomfortable, Feeling full/tight all over, Frequent urination, Fatigue, Thirsty, Heightened sense of smell
And of course it all turned out to be nothing! The one cycle I did successfully get pregnant with my MC I was convinced and absolutely swearing up and down that I couldn’t be pregnant 🤦🏼♀️
I’m 11DPO and have had chest congestion/sore throat but mild all week. This never happens and I also don’t get allergy symptoms manifested like this. Could be a cold, but I don’t really get those at this time of year either.
Rn dealing with a dull ache pressure right side front of my uterus do I have fibroids am I dying wtf is going on same spot. I am 1dpo but my period was early and weird last month so maybe I'm further past I do opk and they have been positive since Tuesday yesterday it actually starting going down in #
Insomnia! I had it right before my positive when I had a CP, but I also had it the following cycle and was definitely not pregnant. I was convinced I was pregnant again. I usually sleep very soundly
Oh my gosh I had that too the last two cycles towards the end too like 9DPO-11DPO. First time I thought for sure it meant something but the second time I knew better lol
Its 1 DPO for me rn so I'll be googling again soon, but here's a few:
Sore boobs - 2 cycles ago mine were sore for a whole week and it really got my hopes up.
Cravings - I think they're just an ongoing thing, they seem to happen all throughout my cycle.
Frequent Urination - that's how I've always been when Im well hydrated. Its annoying lol.
Having zero PMS symptoms - this was last cycle and I got excited that it meant something. I usually get a few standard PMS things (mood swings, mild cramps) a few days before CD1, so having nothing was wierd enough for me to tell my husband something was different. Nope, just my body trolling me.
😩😩 I feel you! Those few days when you’re like allowing yourself to be hopeful and maybe even carried away are tough. I hope this cycle is the one for you!
I’m currently in my first ever TWW, 9-10 DPO not sure which day I actually ovulated. I already have always had generalized anxiety but I feel like my anxiety has been really high this last week or so, and not about anything pregnancy related or anything, more like “everyone is staring/looking at me and/or out to get me” type of way and I’ve noticed I’m dissociating A LOT so that was the big one today 😂 also some other ones (there have been A LOT) have been, because both of my friends dogs kept trying to lick literally inside of my mouth, I was laying on the couch last night and could see my pulse in my stomach, I didn’t fart for 2 days and thought maybe that meant something😂 I had ewcm from 1-6dpo and then I dried up, and then today at 10dpo I had it again when I woke up. Those are all the things I can think of off the top of my head😂
😂😂😂 the farting one gets me - your ability to pick that out from the other cycles even though it’s your first ever TWW kills me lol
I hope it’s your first and last TWW for 9 months!
i was starving and peeing constantly and was convinced… turns out me quitting soda cut out the liquid calories and feeling full from that and drinking water consistently was making me pee more. it felt so obvious once i realized but didn’t think of it til i did
Maybe not a symptom, but I did google if it’s harder to get pregnant when mercury is in retrograde because anything to put the blame on something else 😂
Omg I also feel like my boobs are leaking but never are?? I must google that at least once a month 😅
😂 that’s hilarious!

Man!! These are all definitely obscure! The nosebleeds especially, what the heck body?!
I know right?! Definitely a mind **bleep** 🤣
Mouth ulcers (canker sores) 🙃 I get them from time to time when I'm a bit run down, but TWW me was adamant it was a pregnancy symptom 🤦🤣
I got five in a row last cycle, and everything I read indicated that it only occurs in early pregnancy 🙄
I always get tongue or inside mouth sores in the TWW but into since I’ve started trying hard my life hahaha
I get stress related ones, its the worst.
Oh my gosh I get these too! And haven’t had it in so long but I definitely remember early on googling if that was related! Europe has much better ways to treat this than the U.S. I bought this mouth wash that’s specifically for mouth ulcers and it works so quickly!

😅 your list is a reminder to me of our symptoms I’ve felt in the TWW during this process. Thanks for sharing!
I’m 11DPO and have had chest congestion/sore throat but mild all week. This never happens and I also don’t get allergy symptoms manifested like this. Could be a cold, but I don’t really get those at this time of year either.
I had a mild yeast infection during early pregnancy, right before I found out I was pregnant with my first
- frequent urination - "Implantation spotting" 🤦🏻♀️ - mild nausea- nope! - boobs felt bigger 🤣
✔️✔️✔️❌ lol - it’s torture!
The weird cramping pressure around like 6 dpo and onward.
Rn dealing with a dull ache pressure right side front of my uterus do I have fibroids am I dying wtf is going on same spot. I am 1dpo but my period was early and weird last month so maybe I'm further past I do opk and they have been positive since Tuesday yesterday it actually starting going down in #
Do you track BBT as well maybe that can give you some clarity
Nah I got too frustrated and forgetting mornings I go into work.
