Going crazy

Hi hi ladies,

As the title says, I'm going crazy with my body...
I haven't been on contraception for 1.5 years and know that I could get pregnant. I'm not really thinking about it, but it's definitely welcome...

Now, I ovulated on Friday 5-1.. had sex the day before..
But now..
I read so much, one site says I might have symptoms, others say no..
What am I suffering from?
- tired, tired and still more tired
- but can't sleep
- since the day before yesterday, my stomach has been gurgling
- nausea in waves... (not vomiting)
- cramps in my belly
- back pain (nothing new, I've had it for years)
- feeling hungry but full after a few bites...

Does anyone recognize this in the early stages?

    I think it's pretty early. I really only started having symptoms when I was overdue. Before that, I did have symptoms, but those were every month, before my period. It would be easier for yourself if you tried to scan less for possible pregnancy symptoms.
    But that wasn't your question, I think.

    I'm at 5 weeks and don't feel much.. it's different for everyone of course :-)
    Just wait and test! Your body can really play tricks on you, believe me :-)

    Thank you all. I know my body can play tricks on me and that I shouldn't scan for pregnancy all the time, but it's pretty tricky, hehe...

    I totally get you!
    The journey is sooo exciting. I'm 23 and we were at it for almost 7 months, nearly 8 even. In the 8th month, a miscarriage (last month) and then right after, pregnant again...

    Aaah that's less good news about the miscarriage, but how nice that you're pregnant again right away.
    Congratulations from the heart, enjoy your pregnancy!

    It's definitely exciting, especially because my body is getting in the way so much. And on the internet you read one thing and then the next.

    It's also just annoying that it's basically the same hormones... I didn't really notice much either. I always get a headache 2-3 days before my period starts. And when I'm pregnant, it lasts longer and starts earlier. That's actually the only symptom I look back on and think, oh yeah, that's because I was pregnant. Unfortunately, still have to be patient.

    Hi hi mamaN, yeah waiting is so annoying.. I'd really like some clarity haha but unfortunately a few more days of waiting and it all feels so long haha????

    But apart from everything else, a lot of symptoms have subsided... though since this afternoon (9 days past ovulation) I've had severe cramps in my lower belly and tender breasts. And I still haven't been able to keep much food down... we thought tonight we'd go and have a nice stir-fry, but unfortunately only 2 small portions and I couldn't eat any more... so now we're sitting in uncertainty for a few more days hihi. So excitingdd
