I'm now 9 or 10 dpo... the nausea comes and goes but its not the same type of nausea you get with the stomach flu, it just feels different. Today and yesterday I had headaches and backaches on and off and I've been really tired. My BB's are tender off and on but feel fuller or a little swollen. No spotting or anything, some discharge off and on for the past few days. Very mild cramps, nothing like when af is here. I've been moody and I'm sure my husband would agree with that lol... very emotional. I'm due for af between the 8th and 11th (my cycle is usually anywhere from 24-27 days). I'm hoping for a BFP, and have a feeling I may be pregnant but this would be #1 so I'm not really sure how I'm suppose to feel or what all is suppose to happen. Any suggestions... oh and the wait is driving me crazy!!

Yes, the wait does drive us crazy. However, you really need to wait until your period is late to test for the most accurate response. Premenstrual symptoms and pregnancy symptoms are almost exactly alike aside from missing your period.

When you are late, be sure to test using first morning urine as it is most concentrated in the pregnancy hormone hCG.
