Question

First Time TTC

So, this is my first month TTC and being off of birth control. I have only been off of birth control since my last period started on July 22. I have normal cycles 28 days and I have ovulated on Aug.5. My question is the day that I ovulated and up to 4 dpo I have had a multitude of every symptom...headache, tons of CM, dizziness, cramping, twinges, vivid dreams, nausea and everything else. But since 6 dpo I have only had headaches and moodiness. Is this normal ovulation symptoms? Or is it more towards pregnancy. I tested at 9dpo with a FRER and it was negative. I have one child that I got pregnant with on birth control so I remember thinking some symptoms were birth control related until I missed a period. Any info/advice is appreciated!!

Post-ovulation symptoms are basically the same whether you are pregnant or not, because they are all governed by progesterone. In other words, PMS is identical to early pregnancy. Don't worry too much about what symptoms you feel, there's really no way to guess whether you're pregnant until you get a positive test or AF. Good luck to you and I hope you don't have to wait long!
