I am a little over a week past ovulation. Right now I am experiencing some symptoms that could be related to early pregnancy or a pending period. I would like some opinions please. For the last few days my breast's have been sore and heavy getting worse and worse as they days progress. I have been eating non stop and not feeling full. I have been having some terrible heartburn and a huge increase in cervical mucus, it is lotion like and is an off white color and kind of sweet smelling ( please don't be immature about that comment ) I have been feeling minor twinges in my stomach and have been having horrible insomnia lately not getting to be until 4 sometimes 5am and sleeping in until noon ( good thing my little one sleeps in late too ) I don't want to get my hopes up only to get let down again, I am due to start on the 19th of this month so in about 6 days. I would really like some opinions as to what you all think this could be, should i start to get excited or not?????

I would try not to get TOO excited. It sounds like you could be pregnant, but the more you think about it, the stronger your symptoms will be. Power of suggestion. The best thing I can tell you is to keep yourself busy and try not to think about it (but do NOT smoke, drink, or do anything else that you would not do if you were) and take the test the day after your period is. good luck!!!

Most pregnancy tests can't accurately predict pregnancy has occurred until between 10 and 16 days past ovulation. Either a day or 2 before your period is due or better yet a day or 2 after will tell you if you are in fact pregnant. Tender, full breasts are quite often the first sign. Most other signs of pregnancy won't happen until you are 6 to 8 weeks pregnant and heartburn doesn't often occur until the 2nd or even 3rd trimester when the baby is getting bigger and pushing on internal organs. There's not much you can do right now but wait for a few more days.

I am an EMT and also the father of 9 children,so I know a little about your situation.While most of your symptoms can be caused by several different things,the discharge you describe and changes in your breasts are the key to determining your status.The earliest sign of pregnancy is the presence of small bumps around the nipples.It is my guess at this point you are most likely pregnant,but I can not tell for sure without seeing you,so I will suggest a home pregnancy test,then if it's positive,see a doctor right away.Then remember that most "complications" are diet related,so EAT RIGHT !!! Worry about your girlish figure later,for now feed the little one!

Honestly I am going through the same thing right now, I hate waiting and not knowing but we all must do it, maybe you could go to your doctor and they could give you a blood test to see. Best of luck to you and I hope all works out for you
CORRECTION TO THE ONES DOWN BELOW STATING THAT SYMPTOMS DON'T OCCUR THAT EARLY THAT IS A FALSE STATEMENT AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SAY DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE YOU GO AND TRY TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT SOMETHING, THE MOMENT THE EGG ATTACHES TO THE UTERINE WALL IT BEGINS RELEASING HORMONES THAT CAN AND MORE THAN LIKELY WILL CAUSE YOU TO FEEL SYMPTOMS THIS EARLY ON. ONCE YOU HAVE A SURGE OF HORMONES GOING THROUGH YOUR BODY THINGS WILL FEEL WEIRD OR DIFFERENT, AND YOU VERY WELL COULD BE FEELING THE SYMPTOMS THAT THIS WOMEN HAS STATED ABOVE.

So if I tell you not to get excited are you going to be okay with a neg? If so . . . don't get excited.
It doesn't matter what anyone answers, you're gonna be upset with a neg and happy with a pos! Just the way it is!
I wish you the best of luck though. I know how hard it is waiting. I know how devestating those neg tests are. (yes I have 2 kids but I also have PCOS-we tried for over a year for the 2nd one!)

Well honey, sounds like you're pregnant! I had the same exact symptoms. I am current 2 months pregnant. And the increase in discharge also sounds like a pregnancy symptom. Time to pee on that stick! LOL

I am going to through the same thing also.
My best friend is 6 weeks pregnant and she has and had the same symptoms.
So you could be. We all could be!!!
Good luck to you. My cycle is due the 18th. I am going to try to wait until then to test.
Good luck again

the mucus makes me think you might be ovulating now but everything else sounds like you are pregnant. good luck.

If you're a week past ovulation, you're saying you're only 1 week pregnant?
Symptoms don't happen that early.

if you are pregnant--you wouldnt get any symptoms or signs yet-they dont start until you are 6-8 weeks pregnant.
it sounds to me like your period is just on it's way.
having sex right before your period can make it early, late or not come at all.
