We have been trying for a baby for 7 months after coming off the pill. I have realised that some wierd symptons may not be normal. I get the normal mucus associated with ovulation and detect an LH surge around day 12 but around 4 days after ovulation my breasts are tender until my next period and exactly seven days before my due period I get a day or two of cramping just like when I have my period. Could this be a hormonal issue and linked to not conceiving? I am a healthy fit 34 year old who has a good diet. My periods are very regular every 26-29 days. Please advise as my GP won't test until 12 months of trying. These symptoms are worrying me.
