Anyone want to symptom spot with me?

Am 4dpo (I think) so ridiculous to think I am experiencing any symptoms but going to obsess anyway.

Does anyone want to symptom spot with me?

3dpo - right nipple was feeling itchy. Throbbing in my right ovary. A fleeting feeing in my uterus.
4dpo - slightly bloody nose this morning, both boobs feel tingly similar to when I was breastfeeding.

Clearly I am insane(!) but feel free to symptom spot with me.

waiting I think it's great to be excited. The dissapointment I've felt every month I haven't conceived is horrible but if I do get lucky enough to get pregnant I want to enjoy every bit including the anticipation of a bfp. I feel a bit silly when I'm showing my OH another bfn but one day....

I'm now CD40. No af but definitely something happening as I'm getting cramping now.

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 09/12/2012 10:37

Waiting you can't help but get your hopes up eh? When I was trying for my 2nd ds I thought every month was the 1 and like you I get spotting for a few days before af but it never happened as much when I was ttc so every month I got my hopes up Hmm

waitingtobeamummy · 09/12/2012 10:03

linda that's very exciting for you! Still no sign for me, I normally spot a couple of days before hand so waiting for that today. Know I'm starting to get my hopes up far to much.

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 09/12/2012 08:58

Morning ladies, well af is finished now so this is it! I'm officially ttc, woohoo!
How are you all today? Hope you had a good weekend.
Loveyou have you tested this morning yet? Fc it's a definite bfp if you have Grin

FelixCited · 09/12/2012 07:15

Me again.. Sore nips and boobs, might cave and test on Monday but should really wait until tues at earliest. Any more news this morning loveyou?

tothemoon · 09/12/2012 00:25

meandmycats exactly the same, 3 terrors! Love them though.
Husband works in Saudi so no chance of me going out there unfortunately, it's going to be a long term thing so we are starting ttc now and seeing what happens. Will be amazed if I get pg first cycle! Bet you are glad to have him back home now, best of luck!

Meandmycats · 09/12/2012 00:02

tothemoon - I have 3 cats. At the moment they are my substitute children but I really want to give them a human sibling! (whether they want one or not!)

Aww, yes I can understand how difficult it is to match up ovulation with times your partner is home. Fortunately for me my husband is now back permanently so I'm hoping we'll finally be successful!

tothemoon · 08/12/2012 21:51

Is craving roast spuds a symptom? Grin Queasy as hell tonight.
bugoven same here, a summer baby would be lovely! Congrats loveyou great news!
Reallly tired today again. I'm either coming down with something or... I darn't say it!
meandmycats how many cat's you have? lol, you sound like me. DH works abroad, we have 5 windows of opportunity a year to ttc. Trying to match those up with ovulating is a mine field.

waitingtobeamummy · 08/12/2012 21:25

Hi all, still hanging on but now have zero symptoms :-( have 3 more days til when fertility nurse said I should test but not holding out much hope.

bugoven · 08/12/2012 18:47

All this good news is making me mire hopeful for a Summer Hols baby Smile Well done and/or good luck. How exciting

Meandmycats · 08/12/2012 18:33

Ooh yes Katy! I've just been in Asda and tears sprang to my eyes when there wasn't any Glitter Berry J20 on the shelf! I hadn't even been wanting it, I'd just seen a TV advert for it so thought I'd look as I walked down the aisle and suddenly there were tears in my eyes!

KatyAnn28 · 08/12/2012 18:28

Oh, and I also burst into tears twice today. Once when my DH told me I needed new boots as they were scuffed and another time when he told me my hair was looking a bit bouffant (later he said he meant it as a compliment)!

Anyone else feeling overly emotional?

KatyAnn28 · 08/12/2012 18:26

That sounds great LoveYou, congrats!

I tested again yesterday morning, another bfn. Going to try again tomorrow morning (good job I bought some IC as I think I may be addicted!)

Have been exhausted all week, got a great night's sleep last night but have been literally dead on my feet since early afternoon. FC! xx

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 08/12/2012 18:18

There's always something to put a downer on things but I'm sure it will all work itself out, best of luck to you x

LoveYouForeverMyBaby · 08/12/2012 18:10

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 08/12/2012 17:43

Oh my god loveyou that's sooooooo fantastic, can't wait until tomorrow now to see if it's a defo bfp. Fc for you Grin xxx

bugoven · 08/12/2012 17:40

loveyou that is sooooo exciting. Keeo us updated. Please? Smile

LoveYouForeverMyBaby · 08/12/2012 17:33

Did two FRER tests today both showed two lines so bfp? On both tests though the second line was always vey faint (but both oh and myself saw it). AF is due tomorrow will test again tomorrow.

bugoven · 08/12/2012 17:27

meandmycats it sounds like you didn't ha e a great chance before then so maybe your symptoms and dreams are telling you something Smile

I worked in a kids' home as a residential care worker so was away a lot. That was until end of August so like you I should probably not worry too much and not think of all that time as "failing to conceive" more like missing the chance.

It's what I need/want more than anything too.

Meandmycats · 08/12/2012 17:06

Thanks bug, I hope 13 is your lucky number!

I pretty much convinced myself before we even tried this month that I would get pregnant because I had a dream that I have a baby girl next August. Generally speaking I don't have dreams that come true but I am really hoping that this one will!

bugoven · 08/12/2012 16:14

Oh and just read back my post - are horrific typos a symptom? Ha.

meandmycats* I really hope you are too!

bugoven · 08/12/2012 16:10

Just installed -another- Pregnancy ap having read all the way to week 40 on the ones I already have. It calculated an estimated date of conception to be 16th Nov based on my last af and average cycle length. That adds up for me as I rember having no "chance" on my birthday, which was 14th, and OH doing his best to make it up to me the next day and one after that. I have pulled another -mindless superstition- thing out of the bag. This our 13th month of trying and 13 jas always been a significant number in our relationship.
Actually finding this desperate stew clutching of mine quite funny Grin Oh and boobs are massive!!
CD 39 no AF. Everything is crossed ( excwpt mu arms which will not reach around massive boobs).

How's everyone else doing?

Meandmycats · 08/12/2012 16:03

Hi all, I am 5dpo and started having 'symptoms' today. My stomach muscles are hurting as if I'd done sit-ups or something, which I haven't. I've been ttc for nearly 2 years now, although I suppose it's not really that long as my husband was away working for quite a lot of it and although he came back for visits the visits didn't always match up with my cycle.

I really, really hope I'm pregnant. All I've ever wanted is to be a mum, I'm now 31 and everyone I know seems to have kids already or is now pregnant (that's not actually true but really seems like it some days!)

Sephy · 08/12/2012 13:27

I agree with tothemoon that's sounding very good padster. The veiny boobs particularly helpful!

I've noticed a couple of times in the last few days that I've been seeing 'stars' - like falling bits of glitter in my field of vision. Is that another one for my possible symptom list?!

It's annoying to still feel so "sure", I'm now just hoping that it'll be different later in the week if I test again. Clearly setting myself up for a big fall on Friday when AF due!
