eag923 had some solid advice! If you're 6-8 dpo it's very unlikely that AF is due 3/01 because that would make your luteal phase 20-22 days. Are you certain of your ovulation date? How do you pinpoint it?

Sorry, looked at calendar wrong. I'm due for next AF on 3/01.

If you're 6-8 dpo, then there is no way your period is still 2 wks out. The luteal phase can only last around 17 days bc after that the corpus luteum dies, which causes the start of your period. Unless you are pregnant, then the corpus luteum lives, continuing to pump out progesterone which maintains your uterine lining & the pregnancy. The earliest the fertilized egg can implant is 6 dpo, with 9 being avg. Until then, any symptoms you have are just normal post ovulation symptoms due to the spike in progesterone that occurs in every luteal phase. If you are 6-8 dpo, then your period is due in about a week. You may be pregnant, but at this point it is too early to tell. Gl!

It's impossible to get a BFP prior to 6 DPO. If you don't know when you ovulated then it's best to wait until AF is due or late to get an accurate reading on an HPT. If your luteal phase is 14 days (which is about average) then you are just at ovulation (if AF is due in 2 weeks) so the symptoms you are experiencing would not be pregnancy.

Could be post-ovulation symptoms, pre-period symptoms or pregnancy symptoms (only if you're past 6-8dpo). Really can fall under any three.

I'd test anyway. Going by my cycle I was two weeks pregnant when I found out I was pregnant. I knew that was early but sure enough there were two lines. Are you tracking ovulation? Maybe you ovulated early this cycle

Honestly, i think it could go either way. What you are describing could also be pms signs. Sometimes when we want something to happen really bad, we will feel the symptoms too. I did that so many times after years of trying, some of those times my cycle would even be off and make me think that this was it. The only way to know for sure is to test. You could also get your blood drawn to see if your hoc levels are up.The tww is not fun but you wouldn't want to stress yourself and make you should be able to test soon. How many dpo are you so far?
