pregnant or going crazy?

Hey all..

For four days I have had really tender breasts and very sentive/sore nipples, for two days and at its most noticable today I've had lower abdomen cramp, its not to either side, but like heavy in the middle - so much like PMS.

I usually get tender breasts for 1 day, and cramping for 1 day a few days prior to bleeding.

However, I am 15 days from my due date. So getting these symptoms 12 days early and for longer has started to play on my mind.

With PMS I never get sore nipples either, and they do have pinky/white bits on the very ends (like spots but the glands i guess which are whitish).

I wondered if it was ovulation pain/aches but i have never expereinced pain at ovulation before.

I think i am going to go crazy if this continues and i cant take a test for over two weeks!

I've been reading everyones posts and i know the symptoms are there. This would be an unplanned pregnancy, but would be very welcome all the same!

I guess i am just looking for some kind of reassurance that i am not going crazy.. it's only because my breasts have been tender, larger and aching for 4 days now that i am starting to wonder if i am pregnant, and what with the lower abdomen aches i am now having soo far off my due date...

could i be crazy? or is it really likely that i am pregnant?

I am in the same boat I have the same exact symptoms and my af is not do for another 2wks and it does feel like you are going to go crazy especially the thought of having to wait two weeks I took 2 hpt already (which came out -) I am very impatient If I get any good info I will let you know for now I will just wait impatiently and crazy good luck

When I ovulate I get the same pain you are describing and it is usually 10-12 days before my AF is due. Hope that helps!

Thanks benicaca,

How long does your ovulation pain last?

I'm now on day 5 of tender, enlarges bb's and sore nipples and of the 'AF' coming feeling...

I'm absolutely calm about it - as whilst not TTC, i dont mind if i am. So either way I wont be dissapointed.. I guess i am just trying to get logical about WHY my body is suddenly doing this if it is just ovulation pain.

Hi tjclancy

Snap with the symptoms thats great!, I hope this time it is + for you.

Either I'm pregnant or my hormones have picked an interesting time to start doing strange things at ovulation time !!

Roll on the next 14 days till testing time..

When will you be testing again?

My two cents on your situation is that it's likely O pain that you could be experiencing, pregnancy symptoms don't normally hit most woman until after or during implantation which occurs anywhere from 7-12dpo and if you aren't expecting your period for another 2 weeks then I am going to assume you are either O'ing right now or coming off your O. Sore bb's can be caused from a number of things, and unfortunately during that TTC period we experience, or are pretty positive we are experiencing, all sorts of aches and pains. Not to say that you aren't in any way pregnant, but based on the information you provided there is nothing you can do except wait until your period is overdue and test then. That's my advice.

Yes, thats the thing.. not TTC, but when investigating the symptoms pointed that way. Which is what landed me here in the first place!

I've been reluctant to go to the doctors because it just feels like PMS.. except now we are on day 5 and I've still got all these things going on.

The longest i've been able to find for the O pain, Mittleschmerz is 2-3 days.

Has anyone here experienced it for longer?

I also read on one of the QA doctors sites that if it persists for over a week then should visit doctor.

LoL - thats the trouble with the internet - so much information, but what makes sense!!!

So either way - whatever it is I'll be making a doctors ap if i still feel like this on Friday morning, as that will be day 7 of the pain.

TBH I would be glad if it is O pain, although not upset if not. (!!!)

Good luck to everyone else.

Will prob test on 17th if symptoms persist.

AF Due on 20th, so I am guessing if i go with an early test 3 days early, then 17th it is.

I was sitting calculating everything just now, maybe becuase paranoia is setting in - its like from everything i'm reading this could either be O pains or i could be pregnant, and if i am to go along with the 'normal' cycles of ovulating to be honest i shouldnt be pregnant.

However with DD1 we did the BD 3 days after my AF and i got pregnant, by my calculations, this time it was 2 days after my AF - so um.... if DD1 anything to go by - then it is totally possible my ovulation days are not the 'norm'

WOW - its amazing what you can work out when you keep your old diaries LOL !!!

I hope the painful cramping today for you wasnt too unbearable. I'm feeling very tired and wondering if it's just because I'm starting to get a little more concerned every day as symptoms persist.

Do let me know how you are feeling tomorrow!

Hugs
