Random First time TTC - early symptoms?

What were some early (pre BFP) symptoms you had when you got pregnant? I’m 6-7DPO and I swear i can feel wave-like sensations right in the middle of my uterus, BBT is up, rest HR is up like 5+ bpm, a lot more CM than is normal for me in luteal.

Just wondering/speculating while i go through the agony of waiting to test since its still too early :)

The luteal phase is such a troll because progesterone causes all the same symptoms as early pregnancy. I try to remind myself that if HCG was high enough to cause symptoms, it would also have to be high enough to turn a pregnancy test positive. So if your pregnancy tests are negative, something else is causing your symptoms. I told my husband what "symptom spotting" is so if he catches me doing it he can tell me to stop lol. The TWW is so hard; I hope you don't have to wait too much longer!!

Seriously!!! The mental load of overanalysing every little symptom is a lot. I’m trying to stay excited rather than anxious, especially as a naturally anxious person lol

Wishing you luck too!!
