Quick question: symptoms after ovulation

Hi ladies!

I'm new to this site and I have a question:

I ovulated on October 18th, which I felt clearly. Of course, there was pain during intercourse.

Now I'm noticing (or maybe that's because we really want to get pregnant) that I have cramps on both sides a week before my period. They're more like throbbing twinges. I also have thick, creamy discharge. It's not excessive, but definitely not dry either (sorry for the graphic details). My breasts and nipples are also more sensitive, as if I'm often cold, and sometimes I can't lie on my stomach or side because the sides hurt.

Of course, I still have to wait a bit, but I should be getting my period tomorrow.

I'm curious, but of course I don't want to hope too much, even though I'm doing it unconsciously!

    Hi JoChels, feeling PMS symptoms a week before your period isn't that unusual. I also had severe nausea and sore nipples a week before my period started, just like you described. I tested with the Action "ezeltjes" test 5 days before my period and got a very faint line. You said your period is due tomorrow, so you could actually test if you can't wait any longer

    I had all sorts of symptoms during the last 2 rounds too, but wasn't pregnant. Unfortunately, you can feel all sorts of things and still get your period. That waiting is the worst part! When I was pregnant with my 2 kids, I had absolutely no symptoms. Nothing at all. Only being overdue. And now I felt everything, but still got my period. Hopefully, you'll have a positive test soon to put your mind at rest! Good luck!

    Hi Ann!
    Yeah, sounds familiar. Nausea is super light and maybe only lasts a fraction of a second. But every body is different, of course
    Yeah, I find it so exciting, I'm still waiting 1-2 days just to be sure.
    Thanks for your nice message!
