Symptom spotting- a compilation

116 replies

BankWuggery · 18/03/2013 13:01

This is really just to pass the time of a 2ww. I can't test until at least Sunday and although I know I can't possibly detect any symptoms until at least then (or if not after), can you lot please come and tell me what "symptoms" you watch out for?

I've heard stuff about a runny nose, grumbly tum, headaches etc etc and my rational side knows that these would be either coincidental or just imagined at this stage- but would help me pass the time!

So, what vvv early pregnancy symptoms do you look out for?

Is pink spotting a sign? As opposed to red or brown blood. After doing the test yesterday and it being a BFN I noticed some spotting, very pale pink but def there. Put in a pad just in case the witch came early. Nope. Maybe I tested too early.

Feeling a little disappointed- can feel my period is coming today Hmm had what I thought was IB on cd 20 but alas, had more cramps and brown spotting today. Bleugh, it's sooooooooo unfair!

Meemawandmoonpie · 23/03/2013 16:06

Caved in too, BFN. Strange cause I still 'feel' different. Oh well. Onwards!

NathanDetroit · 23/03/2013 14:22

Sorry Bunny. :-(

Good luck Ruby, it's the first morning urine you need!

Symptoms seem to be coming and going here so we'll see. Regroup tomorrow!

Well, I caved in & tested today when I got home - BFN. But now I'm still thinking that I'll keep testing till AF starts. It's more than likely a no but I keep wondering if the POAS test wasn't sensitive enough (AF not due till Sunday) or whether drinking 3 litres of water today might have affected the result...!

agendabender · 22/03/2013 18:02

I'm out Sad AF over here. I'm completely shocked by how excited I got though! Maybe I'll try a serious conversation with DH about having a child on purpose!

IrnBruTheNoo · 22/03/2013 14:35

By checking an ovulation calendar, apparently my most fertile times are meant to be between 21st and 25th March. If I went by that logic then I'm either ovulating now or just about to.....

IrnBruTheNoo · 22/03/2013 14:33

I have irregular cycles TobyLerone. I don't ovulate at the same times every month unfortunately. It can happen at any time.

TobyLerone · 22/03/2013 13:27

If you're due on 10th April, would you even have ovulated yet? You might have a bug.

IrnBruTheNoo · 22/03/2013 11:44

AF due 10th April but I'm feeling more nauseous by the day. This is horrendous. Getting the cramps on and off.

CatPussInACrownOfThorns · 22/03/2013 11:03

Well I've got a funny taste in my mouth and I feel sick. AF not due for 7-10 days so might be pushing it a bit, even for me! Confused

Meemawandmoonpie · 22/03/2013 09:39

Ah and there was me thinking unquenchenable (sp?) thirst was just me! I can go all day on one glass of juice, I don't drink tea, coffee ( or much else... Yes, just like a camel) but yesterday at work I finished nearly 3 litres and just couldn't quench it. Now, couple that with the weird 3 hours of eyeball watering cramps mid month, the 2 episodes of dizziness and a slight tingly nip (just the one) I'm now thinking hmmmmm....

Bunnygirlie · 22/03/2013 08:18

Tummy pains this morning so the evil witch is def on her way, maybe early Sad

gilly86 · 22/03/2013 00:43

Hello Symptom spotters!

Im now 10dpo and all of a sudden have very watery CM.
It is NOT sticky... not thick... not white... just clear and watery! yesterday it was quite mucous-like (literally snotty SORRY TMI) all day and now its shifted and is really thin, clear and watery.

Whats that about!?

Getting a lot of twinges and buzzing/vibrating type feelings down below (odd!) which is pretty strange as well.... however AF is due very soon so it could just be AF on the way.

Oh bad luck Bunny damn our effing periods.

Loved the link :)

Bit emotional here too. Both ds1and 2 being particularly cute and lovely at the mo, they are 8 and 4 and so desperate for a baby. They don't know about our plans of course but knowing how much they want another brother or sister is making me a bit weepy! Ond or other will ask at least once a week if we could "get another baby in our family". Waaaah! Tissues all round.

NathanDetroit · 21/03/2013 22:34

Wait & see Bunny, but that could mean all sorts. fingers crossed
Can I add unquenchable thirst and sense of smell to the list of symptoms. I really do wonder what's going on if it's not a BFP on Sunday. :-/ Good luck all, only three days to go...feels like i'm counting down the hours.

RubySlippers77 · 21/03/2013 22:06

Bunny - sorry to hear that - hopefully next month!!

Really hoping my tests turn up from Amazon tomorrow. If not I may have to go to Tesco and buy a cheap one, can't stand all this imagining/ experiencing symptoms any more without knowing for certain one way or another! After all without knowing I can't yet blame my general absentmindedness on baby brain.....

Bunnygirlie · 21/03/2013 21:49

I think I jinxed it by joining this thread, bit of pink cm this morn so AF is coming!!!!! Due Monday!!!

gilly86 · 21/03/2013 21:17

'Change in Colour of Your Vagina' LOLOLOL

Yup, it's gonna go green!

Shock
IamKuma · 21/03/2013 21:04

Just looked at that site and must say that 'Change in Colour of Your Vagina' was not something I was looking out for!!

Have started feeling quite emotional today and first sign of achy boobs... Will be quite miffed if I get a BFN..... Hmm could just be lead up to AF though, I suppose...

RubySlippers77 · 21/03/2013 08:10

I know what you mean about the peeing - can't decide if I'm doing it more often or if it's because I'm on the lookout for every sign I can!!

Today I'm back to feeling really tearful, which was what started me wondering about it in the first place; I felt very PMT-like (hormonal, sore boobs etc) only it was two weeks early! I may crack & test tonight, 3 days early but some peace of mind would be nice...

Hi Bunny, Nathan and Kuma

There is going to be a POAS-athon on Sunday, the nations sewers will not know how to cope Grin

Have another "symptom" today- rubber nips. Happened with both my dc, my niploids turn to this very strange rubbery texture and didn't go back to normal until I stopped breastfeeding. Very strange. But I must admit I don't know whether they do this normaly before my period as I am not in the habit of checking my norks for rubber.

Toby - your light bulbs story did make me smile!! I am hopeless in that respect, have two lamps which I've had for a couple of months and still haven't managed to get the right bulbs for them!

I definitely have crampy pains and a dodgy tum, although I may have managed to poison myself with my own cooking rather than anything else.....

Can't decide if I'd be more upset to get a BFN (as I've only been with my DP for a few months and we haven't been TTC - it would be a surprise!) or scared to get a BFP Confused

Bunnygirlie · 20/03/2013 20:47

Hi y'all! Can I join in the fun? On day 25 of a 29 day cycle!
