Manic symptom watching!

Best of luck to everyone on this thread. Before my BFP, I had very period symptom under the sun. I wore pads for 3 days because I was convinced my AF was coming. I had to take 2 pregnancy tests before I believed I was pregnant!

This thread is great!
I am 7 DPO and driving myself mad symptom spotting!
I have been sick 3 mornings in a row at 4 and 5 DPO and felt sick pretty much constantly, have aches in my lower left stomach and yesterday got a really weird large ammount of EWCM all in one go which has now gone.
I'm really hoping it's not all in my head but I know it's far too early to test so I guess I will just have to wait and see!

AF due today and so far has not put in an appearance. Did a test yesterday and got a BFN though so imagine AF will arrive later/tomorrow.

2dpo here and my nipples are really sore, to touch is agony! Also slept in til 10am which I never do, am always awake at about 7. Definitely pregnant

More vivid dreams, but no other signs. Last nights dream I was in some sort of tropical island, lots of things were going wrong and I ended up in a pregnancy testing area for graduates. Really odd. I have had a vivid dream every night since they started. AF is due on Friday, so it's just a waiting game, I envisage a bfn though.

jbee1979 - congratulations! and it's actually really interesting to hear about the very, very early symptoms of someone who got a BFP. I keep wanting to ask my friends if they had an inkling before POAS, but then I'll give it away that we're trying, and I don't want anyone to know!

Hi all - hope you don't mind me butting in - i wanted to share my weirdness! !

i had a fluttery/poppy feeling in my lower left abdomen for days before my BPF and boobs weren't sore immediately after ovulation (like normal) but then my left one started to hurt about 8dpo. i was googling "sore left boob ttc" and "fluttering in lower left abdomen ttc"!!

i also thought the inside of a used fiesta with the heat on smelt REALLY good. like good enough to eat

I love this thread! Just been having a good old chuckle reading through them all.

So i have ONE itchy nipple, indigestion at the back of my throat, runny nose, and i am on day 23 which is when i usually spot. Only its 10am and none has arrived so that's most definitely a sign too ;)

I think I may have just got another faint faint line on a ic. Need to stop poas now! Im going to try and wait until after the weekend!

I love this thread. It's really great to have company! I'm pretty sure the symptoms I'm getting could be ovulation, but as ovulation and early pregnancy seem to have all the same symptoms - in my case bloating and cramps and feeling over-emotional - it's really hard to tell! Also manic symptom-checking and googling of earliest date I can POAS. Nipples a bit more erect than usual, but maybe just because I keep checking them!! I know the best thing is not to think about it, but HOW does anyone do that?!

I no longer have any symptoms, real or imaginary. It's quite disappointing!
Am resisting the urge to buy a stick to pee on tomorrow. May as well save the money...!

9dpo today and I have no symptoms. I think this is a symptom. :)

7dpo now and tired, sore bbs, itcy/burning nipples too tmi!! Feeling dizzy if I sit for too long, stabby-type pains where I think womb should be (?) and cm. Gah!! I had a CP too last month hopeful and it does mess your head up doesn't it?! I'm hoping so much that I am pg but then really can't face testing at all in case it doesn't stick again! This ttc business is hard!

My bra is really uncomfy today. That's a sign right?!

I'm bleeding but it's nothing like my normal period. It's light and keeps stopping where as AF is usually heavy from the start. Don't know what to do. Trying so hard not to run away with myself..

Meh, I feel rubbish today! Really emotional for some reason. My boobs hurt, my back and lower abdo feels like I've got a vice squishing them. I'm tired and clumsy as heck today. Not felt like this before and its crap. I think symptom checking has made me crack! AF due in 8 days...feeling a lot less hopeful today too.
Sorry ladies I just needed a vent!!

I am in my first month of TTC. it is also driving me crazy!

I have been so tired, nearly fainted last night and so so hungry! I am under a lot of pressure at work so prob that!

I have a question - I had the coil removed exactly 2 weeks ago. 3 days later I used the ovulation monitor from clearblue and said I was ovulating. Since I have no idea when my AF is due as not had one in 4 years is it still worth testing said around next weekend just to see?

Hadn't read your post before I posted hopeful... Sorry to hear about your cp. I would wait a few days and test again if I were you, or speak to gp. Fingers crossed for you though! Xxx

Haha this thread has really given me a giggle this morning! I am definitely in the same boat as you lot! Last month was my first cycle ttc and I convinced myself I had implantation aches, tickly nipples, needed to pee more often and lo and behold my af arrived... Promised myself I wouldn't get caught up in symptom spotting again as the disappointment was horrible.
However here I am, a month later, 2dpo and I'm sure I've got a low, dull ache on the lower left side of my tummy! And that dream I had last night.... ttc crazy lady here!

hopefull2424 I didn't want to read or run. I haven't taken a pregnancy test yet so I have no idea about evap lines. I just wanted to say that I am sorry to hear about your chemical pg. x

Another vivid dream. I am trying to convince myself that it's just because my sleep cycles have changed since getting back from my honeymoon. The amount of threads I have read about vivid dreams in early pregnancy is unreal.

ok ladies ..... you all need to have a serious word with me!! I need a telling off.
Came home form work and the tests were just sat there waiting for me
(Now im not normally this crazy but I had a chemical pg last month and so still feeling a bit emotional)
Anyway im not 100% sure when af is due... I would say late next week but I couldnt resist the urge and poas.
Put it on the side whilst busy getting changed and when I came back it looked bfn but (as you do) when I looked closer there was a second line ... almost no colour at all it was that faint.
Do you think I could still have some of the hormones from my chemical pg still or is this me just seeing lines because I want to. The other thing is it could well be an evap line as I didnt read it straight away.
I am giving the dh the tests to take away from me as I cannot be trusted :?

I feel exactly the same as you all!

Unusually tired - pregnant
Rock hard boobs - pregnant
Sensitive to smells - pregnant (nothing to do with the fact it was a truly unpleasant smell, oh no!)

Suppose I'll find out on Sunday(ish) when AF does/n't make an appearance. Will probably wait until next weekend to test though. Just in case my cycle has randomly lengthened, just to spite me.

I'm not going to buy any. No. I will not. Surely I can hold on until next week and not poas. I've never poased before. Surely I don't want to go out and buy some tomorrow for use on Saturday which is when according to several Internet calculators I could test. No. No...... Luckily I live a long way away from civilisation and can't just pop out and get one but I WANT TO. Make it Monday already!

I resisted temptation to buy some today!!

Ohhhhh someone needs to make me see sense. 20 new pg tests have just landed through my door. I might get dh to hide them
