Hi there, I'm a newbie and have only being ttc for 2 months. Was convinced we'd managed 1st go as I had a whole raft of wierdie symptoms I've never had (or even knew about before) bloating, constipation, heartburn, cramping,etc but then af arrived. This month I've had similar with the added joy of lots of headaches, backache and extreme tiredness. Pretty sure it's PMS and not pregnancy as started around ov date (although not sure exactly when this is as cycle not always same length). I have never had PMS like this before, usually have dull ache in tummy and 1 day of tiredness around start or 1st day of af (lucky I know) Now I'm getting it for 2 weeks! Has anyone else suddenly got PMS only since they've started ttc???? What's going on?????:\?

Did you come off the pill because the pill can help with PMS symptoms.

Otherwise it might be because you are more aware of your body after ovulation! xxxx

Not been on the pill for years. Could be noticing some symptoms more but others I've never had. Mind Games?????

Sure mine will this month too! Wouldn't mind having perculiar stuff going on if it was due to successful attempt but just so af can turn up is getting to be a pain in the arse! I feel sorry for those people who have put up with pms since starting af. I didn't know how lucky I was!!!!!

I have similar problems, I always got PMS but now its much worse, I have a dull headache for about 2 and a half weeks, strange cramps, shattered all the time, mood swings and weepy at random times of the month???? I really thought I was pregnant at times but unfortunately thats not the case and I cant wait to get back on the pill !! once I pop a little one out that is !!! LOL

Oh and I have put weight on!!! ggrrrrrr

this is weird because i to have also been feeling like PMS symptoms are worse now.
I had my non hormonal coil removed in December so i have not come into contact with any hormone contraception for years - it seems since we have been trying (and doing lots of BD over ov) i get more symptoms from OV to AF - my boobs never used to swell and now from 1dpo they are a problem :LOL: and i get bloated and water retained to. I cant blame the emotional mood becasue i am sure that is psycho symatic.
I wonder if an increase in intercourse tampers with your hormone levels - hmmmm

hi

i know you said you weren't on the pill but thought this might make you and anyone else laugh - cheers me up whenever i think about it!

came off pill in oct and started ttc in Jan. anyway, hubbie said or did something annoying once and i snapped "ever since i came off the pill you've been REALLY annoying!" ha ha that will be the PMS then!!! poor hubbie just muttered, i'm the same you just react differently now.

poor thing!
