My husband and I have been TTC for 3 months. It's possible that I'm just more in tune with my body and never noticed this stuff before, but it seems like all of a sudden I'm getting cramps in the middle of the month, am more irritable, disgusted at the scent of certain foods, constipated (which I've been told can happen from the prenatal vitamins I take), dizzy or nauseas far more frequently than I ever have been before...
This last month my period came 5 days early and was only for 3 days. 1 day was almost normal, the other 2 were brownish spotting (sorry to be so gross)..HPTs are coming up negative. I started my period on the 17th of September- when it should've been on the 22nd- and have taken a test as recently as 2 days ago, so I'm fairly certain I'm not pregnant.
My husband is trying to tell me that women's bodies can react to TTC itself, and that some of these things are common, even if you're not pregnant. Is this true?

How much of this could be caused by the prenatal vitamins?

None by prenatal Vitim's. You can be thinking so hard about getting pregnant that you are starting to make yourself think you are if you constantly due this it become a physiological thing and your body will respond to it and make yourself feel like it and sometime your body will start to really think it is and you will Begin to look like your pregnant, with a growing bell and lactating. But if your not doing this then your body can just be under going a change or you can be really stressed out over something. Just take it day by day and be calm about it and just let it happen.

Prenatal vitamins would not be causing this. I agree with your husband... in TTC sometimes you want it so badly your body reacts... Good Luck

I could be, that your body is preparing itself for pregnancy. I am TTC also, and I have these symptoms.
