text: is this normal (ttc)? for the pass few days i've been having the following symptoms:  mild period type cramping, abdomen and back pains (all over), sharp pains in pelvis and side, bloating, increase vaginal discharge.  i ovulated five days prior to these symptoms, now i'm 9 days pass ovulation. my period isn't due until friday. i've never felt like this before period besides the cramping. are these normal symptoms during early pregnancy? has anyone else experience this? these can be early symptoms of pregnancy or of "normal" pms.  other early symptoms can include tiredness, frequent urination, sore breasts, and mood swings.  you'll need to wait until you expect your period to show before you'll get a reliable result on a home pregnancy test.  good luck.
