Question

Can someone give some friendly advice? :) thanks!

My man and I have been trying to conceive for about 7 months now so not too long compared to most ladies I've read about. It's been difficult and we've ran into months where we thought we had a good shot but AF would show up. Basically last month my period was a full 9 days late. So weird but I attribute it to some weird spotting I had a week after my period. I started testing LH this month and noticed that I ovulated 4 days ago from what I believe. I am now 4dpo. I know true symptoms can't be read too much into yet, but ice noticed a big one. My boobs slightly hurt yesterday and today they are extremely sore Mainly under and on the outside. There's some soreness overall and tonight they felt sort of tingly. Idk if they're just cold or not. Just seemed confusing since I normally don't have that until 2-3 days before my period. Also, I've been burping all day aND my skin is itchy. Does this sound like pregnancy?

this sounds like PMS - there is no difference between early pregnancy and PMS symptoms as both are caused by progesterone - at 4dpo you have no pregnancy hormone (hcg) in your blood - it starts appearing after the implantation at c. 6-7 dpo and produces symptoms from a week or so later

I agree with the first comment.. progesterone is a bitch, which your body naturally produces coming up to AF. It completely mirrors pregnancy symptoms - sore boobs, nausea, fatigue - the works.

It's incredibly unlikely to be a pregnancy symptom as the egg would not have even implanted yet so you wouldn't be producing pregnancy hormones yet.

This doesn't mean you don't have a chance, just that it's too early to say it's pregnancy related.
