Question

I feel pregnant, but chart seems to point to AF in the next couple of days.

My hubby and I are TTC #3 after five years on Mirena and three months on BCP. With both DD and DS, my first sign of pregnancy was sore breasts, to the point of not being able to shower or walk up and down stairs, a symptom that I've been experiencing for nearly a week now, but I've had a string of BFNs. From the downward trajectory of my chart, I have to believe that AF is imminent, but I'm curious if anybody thinks there might still be a chance. In addition to te soreness, I've also been exhausted, congested, nauseous, having vivid dreams, etc. They could just be PMS and/or a byproduct of the stress of TTC or coming off of long term birth control.

I don't chart my bbt but last cycle I had the most painful, tender, swollen breasts I've ever seen (when not pregnant) I even had discharge from my nipples. Honestly it must have been the worst pms of my life. I think on average pms gets worse from your twenties to your forties, and if you're really baby crazy, like I was I don't think that helps! That said, it's not over yet, I think you should use a sensitive test to get a definitive answer. Fingers crossed for you, all the best.

Thank you for your response. I feel like a crazy person! I really had no expectations for this month with it bein my first month off of BC in seven years, but everything seemed to be promising. Of course, today my temp showed a little bump back up and I'm wondering if it means anything. AF should show today, but with my DD I didn't get a BFP until 17 DPO, so I might end up being a crazy lady for a few more days. If everything I've experienced is PMS, I'll probably never know if I'm pregnant without a BFP! Guess I can't compare 34 year old me to 24 year old me. Thank you again.
