Question

I can't imagine anything else that could cause these symptoms!

I can't figure out if all of the symptoms I am having are just in my head! I am 38 and my husband and I have avoided pregnancy by using the withdrawal method for years. I have a perfect 30 day cycle and only experience the symptoms that I am feeling when I ovulate and the day before my period. We had sex 2 days before ovulation (withdrawal). I am 8dpo. I have had gas for days. For the past two days my belly becomes bloated as I eat throughout the day and I look and feel 5 months pregnant. My cervix is so high I can't feel it and it's wet and I've had white discharge. I've had very dull cramps like I'm getting my period. I've had extremely vivid dreams for the past 3-4 days and I never dream. Also, I'm extremely horny! I'm scared and hopeful at the same time but mostly feeling scared that I'm not pregnant and I'm just going crazy. In the past these symptoms have passed after a day when they are period related but these symptoms are persistent!

My two cents: pregnancy symptoms are tricky. It could really be anything (food sensitivity, minor virus etc). I would forget about that for now and wait for AF. Easier said than done, I know...

However, I couldn't help noticing that you seem to want a baby while your dh doesn't (I know how hard that is). Maybe address this issue first and have 'real' (no pull-out) sex next month and start TTC properly? Good luck & baby dust to you!
