Cycle 6 - Symptom tracking

Today, I'm 8dpo on my 6th cycle TTC.

This month, I've been trying not to focus on symptoms as much except to record them on here. I'm trying to avoid thinking every symptom is "it" like previous cycles.

It seems every month between 7dpo until AF shows up, I start having some symptoms which usually turn out to be premenstrual. It's very frustrating knowing that AF symptoms and early pregnancy symptoms are so similar. I even get a little nauseous a few days before AF.

This month has been slightly different (but it always seems that way every month). Today at 8dpo, I've had very faint cramping, itchy nipples, and last night I felt an odd sensation around my belly button; it almost felt like a cat was pawing softly inside me (weird but that's what it felt like). I did take a test this morning and of course I think I'm seeing lines but I think it's too early to tell.

Anyway, my journey continues.
