8Dpo

Well I'm back posting on the first trimester board because I get the most feedback here. . . Okay I am now 8dpo and I am feeling very awful I guess this is just me venting since I have no one to talk to well I do,but they'll look at me like I'm a crazy person. I am very moody and extremely irritable I'm tired during the day and very restless at night my body hurts 10x worse than anything I've experienced during pms and I don't want to get sucked in to this whole wanting to be pregnant thing only to find out I'm not so I've been telling others and myself that I must be coming down with the flu. My legs,my back,my arms,under my arms,my head, my boobs including my nipples are in so much pain I could cry. I took my temp this morning and it was 98.4 I took it again after a much needed nap and it was 98.8 so I'm not having a fever. I feel like if this isn't a pregnancy then when the 10th arrives (the day of my expected period) it is going to be thee WORST one ever. I haven't noticed a thing in my cervical fluid, but I have noticed that I seem to get a slight head cold off and on which is strange to me and I'm having a few all around abdomen cramps,but I don't feel them all at the same time for example I'd feel something on my upper left side and then the lower left side it'll go away and then I'd feel something else on the lower right and then the upper right not like my normal pms where I'd just feel it in my pelvic region and I don't have that "my uterus is falling out" feeling either. I think that all of this is too extreme to be signs of a period, but like I said before I don't want to start hoping that I am pregnant. Would this wait just hurry up and be over already lol. Ladies I'd love to hear about what you all think has anyone that is pregnant had all of this happen to them at just 8dpo? I promise I'm not making it all up and it's not just all in my head I am actually experiencing this.

You know, you can take an early hpt now. There are those that you can take 5 days before your expected period. All I remember was my breasts were extremely sore and I had a day were the cramps were so bad I could barely stand. I didn't get that uterus falling out feeling though. I just had severe back aches. That's actually what tipped me off.

Best of luck, I wish I could help more but I'm useless in this :(

Aww it's okay I truly thank you and appreciate all the help I could get I'm hoping that this weekend would involve me getting up and out I've been in so much pain that I try to stay sleep most of the time. My pain is in my back and legs (thighs) mostly. I'm holding off on testing to see if af shows vs. becoming a POAS addict I'd feel bad after spending money on a hpt only for AF to show.

I know how you feel dreading but can't wait to test. My DH and I have been trying for almost 2 years to conceive and the time before last just broke my heart when it was negative. I'm currently 7 weeks along and I was/wasn't hoping I was pregnant around 4 weeks. I was really tired all the time, breasts were so sore and heavy feeling made sleeping uncomfortable. I usually woke up at least once a night and had to change positions. I also had a queasy/gassy stomach and heartburn. :P

I hope it turns out to be a happy surprise for you!

My cycle is really screwy and usually is 45 days instead of 28 or 30 some. I didn't feel sickish til 4 weeks and had to wait to buy a test for my paycheck. (That was really hard cause we wanted it to be .) I think its harder when you have a weird cycle. I remember something someone told me that still rings true. "I want patience and I want it quick!" :D
