Symptom spotting part 2 - Home of the suspicious boobs and other strange goings on!

My boobs are no longer super sensitive :( at times they felt like someone was shoving red hot knitting needles into the nipples (ouch) but now, nothing. Tummy cramping is still ongoing, so now I'm sure AF is going to appear at the weekend. Also got spots erupting all over the place. Ah well - sigh.

Hi pozzled,my af is due on 11th as well (normally 30 day cycle but can vary on occasions).
I think holding off on the test is wise,as i def find it much more disappointing getting a bfn than af. Im determined not to test until i am certain it will be a bfp.

Hi all and congrats to those who have their BFPs!

Haven't posted in TTC before but would like to come and join you. I have a DD (2.1). This is my first month of TTC no2, AF due on the 11th sep. But have come straight off the pill so I don't know whether my cycle will be normal this month or take a while to settle?

Anyhow, I'm trying hard not to get my hopes up. Have felt quite queasy the last three evenings. Also pretty tired (but that's not unusual). Had some mild aches and pains earlier on in my cycle but nothing at the moment. I have a test sitting in my bathroom cabinet from ages ago and am determined to resist the urge to test.

oh row that it great news!!!!! huuuuuge congratulations!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your words of reassurance re waiting for the results,its good to know that its not unusual for them not to give the results over the phone.

I didnt get to finish my post earlier cause i realised that my roast was nearly ready and i hadnt even put my spuds on to boil yet lol

Rad and Shelley just wanted to say good luck for your special dates.

Arthursmum im the same as you with the spottiness and random bouts of feeling sick-heres hoping its a positive sign for us both.

Rad i had a look at your thread and i def dont think yabu!! I would have done the same in your position. thank god your ds is ok.

A quick update on my symptoms-cramps gettin worse each day,like a constant dragging feeling,and my nips def do look different. I am really hoping that the hsg worked wonders for us this month.

I am absolutely thrilled for you row78!!!! - I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you! You have definitely given me the kick I needed to go for it, just wait for this month's AF to appear, then will hit the sales and start target practise with my pee!

Ajasec - how late are you?

arthursmum I have a CBFM, it is great, very easy to use, showed that I ovulated later than I thought this month and I would have stopped before then otherwise. Once you wee on the stick you take the lid off the other end and put it on the end you weeed on. You then put it in the monitor. So theoretically it shouldn't be all contaminated with someone else's wee. Either way it should be really easy to clean with a cotton bud.

And I would really recommend it because yesterday, 3 days early I was a bit bored, took a superdrug pregnancy test and oh my, there was the faintest of faint lines on it! Did another test today, but late on in the day (not ever FMU), clearblue just to check that superdrug are not dodgy and it was faint, but definately there! So fingers crossed that it sticks!

assassin it's awful waiting for the results isn't it? We had the same thing and even when we did see the consultant I wasn't sure why someone on the phone couldn't just read out the figures and the average figures. However the hubby was excellent in all areas so it doesn't mean bad news.

radley and shelley good luck to you both in getting your special dates. Fingers crossed for you both.

Hi Guys,
Hope you're all ok. I've more symptoms to report - absolutely knackered, dizzy, feeling really sick, metallic taste in my mouth. Plus all the other symptoms still. No AF, but again tonight BF-bloody-N!
Radically p*ssed off! Allthatjazz, I wish my dp was as understanding as yours - he thinks I'm losing my mind. Your symptoms sound very postive.
I'm thinking of starting a thread asking how long people have been pg before getting a BFP. What do you think?

allthatjazz my dp has decided im pg too like yours has lol not cause of me being stroppy (im always like this ),but cause my boobs look so weird lol

We were watching a dvd last nite and my nipples suddenly felt like they were on fire. I pulled my jammie top up to see what was going on and noticed that my nipples were huge and a big blue vein has appeared on my boob. Dp then commented that my nipples look a different colour .

No burny nips for me today though they do feel very sensitive,and have done so for a couple of days. Ive still got a crampiness down below and have been constantly feeling headachy,not so sore that i have to take tablets but enough that my head constantly feels heavy

I think its a nice way for a theoretical son to have a link with his uncle who i know would have adored him as he did ds. Hope you get your special day Radley. Im not sure how i feel about the possibility of db's birthday as a birthday for a child not sure if im ready to deal with that yet. All i know is whatever happens i will still lay flowers at the scene that day whether i have to discharge us from hospital or not lol.

I am going to risk jumping back in again...

Have been trying to be very chilled out about ttc, but really am a seething mass of worry and symptom spotting so here goes;
Sensitive nipples (but when pg with DS my boobs really hurt and its nothing like that)
Felt sick for no reason last night
Backache
Weepy
Really greasy skin with lots of spots
All of which are classic AF signs (not sure when I am due on as have ridiculously erratic periods).

A quick question, and please tell me if this sounds really icky, I was thinking of getting a Clearblue Fertility Monitor but can't really afford one, is getting a pre-loved one totally gross, or an economic miracle?

ajasec I have exactly the same symptoms as you and yes i have negative tests too. To top it all off I had a proper tantrum yesterday- very out of character for me have been very embarrassed ever since dp didnt mind though as he has decided im pg. I apparently had a strop last time. Did anyone else? I also have cramp/pains right side. Found my korma hot, felt hungover 2 days in a row and hungry- until now i havent had much of an apetite. Can anyone enlighten me? Radley i'll check your thread asap. I really hope for both you and shelleylou something happens on your special days. I conceived my ds shortly after dp's grandad died. assassin sounds promising to me. Very annoying about the doc's though making you wait. Hope everyone is ok :)

Radley now you've wrote that i feel more confident to explain my post earlier where i was rambling about dates. My db was killed in october last year and his birthday is in june. If i fall in october i should have a EDD of the day after his birthday. If i have a BFP begining of next year i have the day before he was killed. When i had my MC i realised i was late on his birthday so it was like a sign from him. When i eventually told my mum about it she said ' You'll have a baby on dbs birthday' she also expects me to concieve the day db was killed. Not in a nasty way just a gift from my brother. Its weird if i do have one on his birthday it will not only have his birthday but if its a boy will have his name as a middle name. I decided that one a while ago be in his honour.

Hi everyone

Welcome newbies and good luck!!

Rad you're a bit of a night owl aren't you . Lets hope the dream about your dad signifies an upcoming bfp,just like your last dream did . When is your af due btw?

Cd24 for me today and not much to report apart from my back is still sore and i was awake during the nite again with heartburn and strange crampy feeling in my stomach. its still there this morning,can only describe it as a slight dragging feeling down low,its not all that painful,just feels really weird.

I rang the hospital yesterday for the results of dps sperm analysis and they wouldnt give me them. apartantly they dont give them over the phone due to the nature of the test and we have to go to an appointment with the consultant to get the results. The appointment theyve gave me isnt until the 17th september so that means we have to wait 2 weeks for them!! Its going to be a long 2 weeks!

Anybody got any strange goings on to report??

Sorry - posted before I was finished...
The nips a week ago first alerted me to the fact that I might be pregnant. Hoping that I am now!

Hi Everyone,
Can I please join this thread. AF is 2 weeks late and I've got all the same symptoms as you ShelleyLou:
Sensitive nipples
Tingling heavy breasts
Indigestion
Gas (sorry!)
Change in CM with a different smell
tired
nauseous
Ive got 2dd and a ds and had a TOP years ago, so Im kinda familiar with the symptoms. BUT BFN... Every day for a week!! (yeah I'm testing every day .
Am convinced that I'm pregnant, but stick says no. Am I going mad?? I wasn't ttc, I was trying not to. The nips

Thanks for that Rad;ey. This is my second since the MC and was a 33 day cycle which is very unusual for me. Think last one was about normal. I've had so much go on over the past year it aboutt ime something nice happenede. I'm just seeing the date issue as a positive and a message from my db.

It sounds like it could be promising I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

AF arrived today so will have to try again next month lol. Just worked out fertile days using the mn ovulation calculater. I was saying to DH earlier That i can see me having an EDD date of a specific date in June or October. If i'd have had a BFP thistime round or in 2 months time both EDD were within 2 days (based on 28 day cycle like ive been having) of an important event in my life. One of which being a day after the June date. Just recalculated on what cycle lenght is atm and i have the day before the October date and surpoed to be fertile on that date this year. Spooky. I realise this is probably a bit of a riddle but was trying to keep the positive side of it rather than the negative

Hallo ladies :)

I'm on my first month of TTC, AF due 11th Sept and so far driving myself mad with:

Heavy and bigger boobs and sensitive nipples (on and off)

crampy tummy (on and off)

Had chilli con carne and a sweet chilli stir fry, which were both much hotter than I'd usually find them - stung my lips

everso slight queasiness (probably in my head)

Tiredness (probably overworked)

Very emotional (probably due to stress at work - or maybe I'm finding it extra stessfull cos I'm feeling more emotional, aaarrrgh!!)

Driving myself mad.
