Feeling strange whilst TTC

[Blessing]

Hello

New to the forum.

Hubby and I are on our first month of TTC.

I feel really very very strange the last 48 hours. Can't get my temperature quite right, struggling to sleep, tummy cramps, sore breasts, feel 'sore' inside, like a period is about to start and perhaps most strangely, I'm craving with a passion things I normally turn my nose right up at because they make me pretty ill (digestive complaint).

I don't normally suffer with temperature, sleep, tummy cramps (even with a period) or sore breasts, and normally when I 'cheat' and eat something I shouldn't I'm in pain within 20 minutes, yet I've been scoffing for two days with no ill effects.

Had full heath check so there is nothing wrong with me 'illness' wise, other than digestive problem, and definitely not pregnant from before this cycle.

Neither of us feel stressed, we're not expecting to conceive first go.

Am I going mad or is feeling unusual part of the experience?

Well, probably a bit of both!

Either you are pregnant (and tbh it does sound very much like you might be) or you are the victim of 'symptom spotting' now that you are trying!

Most of us on here are slightly mad in the head with all this ttc nonsense. We regularly pee on sticks and get excited if we feel hot or get pins and needles, anything that might mean something. Unfortunately once you start ttc you being really aware of everything going on in your body. Another couple of cycles and you will be talking about your EWCM and DPO like a pro! xx

The odd thing is that whilst I'm in high fertility area I've not actually ovulated yet, no ovulation no egg released, no egg released no conception, no conception no pregnancy!

So whilst I am wondering if it's all in my mind you think I'd be 'seeing' symptoms when I thought I could be pregnant and not before I possibly can be!

I've not been taking anything Samsgirl. I had complete blood work done and I am the picture of health, even with the strange diet I am forced to eat. B12 and Folate levels are excellent!

I'm starting to feel a bit crazy.
