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

[AddictedToRadley]

Welcome to our new thread where everyone's welcome. Sit back with your favourite drink and get all those 'suspicious' symptoms off your chest including the ever popular suspicious boob (sb).

If you're squeamish this may not be the thread for you, as this thread is dedicated to those with strange goings on where no symptom is TMI.

Good luck to us all for that elusive BFP to arrive soon. Who'll be the first to get one?

row the strechy clear cm was last week. So I guess this would make me in the 2ww? sorry I am not very clued up on this malarky.
I take it, it would be too early to test?

Another newbie here... already mum to DS aged 4 and have been TTC since Feb 2010 - I'm a sufferer of completely erratic periods so never know if I am ovulating or not. It took a year to conceive my son and I think I was hoping that second time around would be easier - fat chance. Seeing that others are convincing themselves that everything is a pregnancy symptom has been a huge relief for me, I thought I was the only one who spends all day convincing myself that this time it is real.

Oh man, I've gone and killed another thread. Sorry! (Arthurs mum exits leaving a her shaped hole in the wall)

Dont be daft you haven't killed it. I'm still being really good and nt tested dispite AF being due sat and still not arrived. hehe. So hoping I get a BFP when i test at/towards the weekend and if so it sticks.

Hello everyone

Welcome newbies and good luck to all oldies and newbies

I'm on CD26 DPO 14/15/16/who knows - don't really believe what FertilityFriend is telling me these days!

Should be due AF this weekend.

Thought I had lots of symptoms last week:
Sore nips & slightly heavier/lumpy boobs
Very tired
Feeling very grumpy & sorry for myself
cramps off & on since OV
dry Mouth & throat
Anxious/nervous feeling

All of these has disappeared apart from the lumpy boobs, and instead have been replaced with Mount Etna on my chin (PMS much?)Oh well....

Sorry, I just realised how mardy I sounded in that post.
I'm not normally that grumpy - I promise!

fingers welcome, good symptoms! You can get internet cheapies to stop the third mortgage :-)

jazz - you are probably a week after ovulation, which means that you are a week away from testing, not even First Response claim to be able to pick up a pregnancy that early. You can be my cycle buddy as that matches me :-)

arthur - my periods are all erratic as well, and it took a year to conceive my son (and some help). I've just had my first month on the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and I think it helped, it showed that I ovulated later than I thought, so hoping it gives me a fighting chance this month.

Assassin - good symptoms! (as long as they are actually symptoms, if not then hope you feel better soon)

IfAtFirst - have you had any fertility tests etc and any answers if so? Good luck with testing this weekend

My tummy has been grumbling all night, I think it was my chorizo chicken though :-)

I've decided im going to suck it up and test in the morning if AF hasn't arrived by then. The timing would be quite nice EDD would be around 2 days before our 1st wedding anniversairy. Wish me luck for the morning, heres hoping its a BFP

aw thank you row! You've made me feel much better. I feel shocking at the moment. Felt fine when I woke up though. Feel rather dizzy and my left boob- ow! Have hit starbucks already for a sit down, i'm meant to be shopping. Is it common for symptoms come and go? Arthur and Row I also have erratic cycles took over a year to conceive ds with help also but he was conceived naturally- a flook tbh i think. Good luck shelleylou, building up to test is an awful feeling. Hope everyone has a lovely day, its sunny here for a change :)

Thanks Jazz, i was more nervous as when i tested around this time after AF was due last cycle i had a feint positive then went on to have an MC and I'm terrified of having another one. I got a BFN but still no AF. Would my cycle legnth have altered after the MC? does anyone know?

shelley - I wouldn't know about MCs affecting cycles, radley would probably be the person who knows more.

jazz - a suspicious boob! How exciting! I'm bored and symptomless so can you entertain me and tell me what your implantation bleeding was like and how long after ovulating it was?

Well it appears that I jumped the gun (once again), no testing for me this weekend as AF arrived today

row78, I begun to have blood tests earlier thi year, and then I got PG, but lost it after only a few weeks. Doc said not to go back for another year - as if!

row fingers crossed for symptoms asap :) My implantation story- I was utterly convinced it was af- was awaiting my first natural bleed in years before starting ivf treatment thus not trying that month had utterly given up. I cant say for definite when I ovulated (had just come off clomid felt bloody shocking for 8 months) felt all over the place. It was the kind of bleeding you get before proper af comes the next day if that makes sense? It lasted 24 hours and then it had gone. It was bright red and I had none of the "pinky blood stained mucus" which is often spoken of. I felt like i was about to come on. Had horrible windy feeling too. Hth :) Now a TMI Warning, if you are eating I'm sorry. Cm, irony smelling- any ideas? ifatfirst Im so sorry af got you :( < offers chocolate, wine or both>

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.

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

ShelleyLou just a quick note to say that my MCs haven't affected all of my AFs. I had 2 out of the 7 that was 40-60 day cycles! Then again after my 1st MC I fell pregnant within a week or two with DS (according to the dates as I don't know when I OVd). If you're up to it psychologically then go for it. Aparently after a MC you're more likely to concieve within 6 months than you were with no MC! Here's hoping!

Welcome to all our new symptom spotters. It's so nice to have you all here. I can't believe how many newbies we're getting on this new thread it's lovely and you're all so very welcome. We need more loons spotters to ensure we all feel 'normal'.

I'm officially on the 2ww and have symptoms that I've never had before ie

• Super sore nipples (they're ubber sensitive...ouch!)
• Enlarged nipples (look like I'm permanently freezing - where the heck did they spring from?)
• Crampy feelings in tummy and back
• Raised temperature
• Really strong gut feeling that we'll concieve either this month or next. I think it'll be next but will explain why later as in a rush to sleep (3-4 hours before DS will wake up!)

Anyway got to dash off now so no super duper long posts this time - then again I haven't written the infamous 'epic novel' so far........ You just wait........hehehe

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

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

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!

Ajasec with my DS I didn't get a BFP until I was 6 days late even though looking back I knew I was pregnant just denying it as didn't want to get my hopes up. Even when I got the BFP it was so feint it was barely visible. There's always hope, some women just show up on the test later than others and some lucky sods show up days before AD is due (not that I'm jealous you understand - yeah right who am I trying to kid?!).

What I was saying my earlier post about being convinced about falling pregnant next month was to do with my dad. I lost my Nanna in 2007 and when DH and I decided to try for a baby I had a dream that baby was sent by my Nanna. I was then given an EDD of 8th Nov 2008 which would've been my Nanna's 80th birthday. I was then given a revised EDD of 17th Nov and was gutted that the link with my Nanna was gone. To try to cut a long story short I was booked for an induction (for my health) on 4th Nov so was sure I wouldn't give birth on her birthday. I was admitted to ante-natal ward to wait for a room in delivery before they started the induction but the rooms were constantly full (I could only be induced during the day as I had to have a consultant there for my labour). On Friday 7th Nov I started in labour after a sweep but it stopped for a few hours and re-started at 6am on the 8th Nov. I had 1 or 2 midwives in the room at all times and was talking to her and told her I'd like to have the baby before midnight (I explained why). She said there was no way it'd happen! Anyway fastforward to 8pm and DSs heart rate plummeted to just 60bpm then kept dropping to 40bpm. They decided I needed an EMCS and just 3 minutes later DS was born at 8.11pm on 8/11/08 on my what would've been Nanna's 80th birthday!! Even the midwife cried she was so happy for me.
Anyway I had a dream the other night (exactly the same as I had with DS) that my dad (who I lost in Dec 2008) sent me a baby. I've got a really strong feeling that I'll give birth on what would've been his 70th birthday in June 2011!! If my AF arrives when it's due this month I'll be due on his birthday!!

It's like I loose someone I'm really close to and when DH and I decide to try for a birthday I end up due on/giving birth on a special birthday of theirs. I hope it's true as it'll turn a sad occasion into a happy one again.

Mind you I feel like this could be the month too as DH and I have been BDing regularly a few days before I OVd, the day I OVd and a few days after so fingers crossed. Probably because I don't want it to happen this month (I want next month) I'll get the elusive BFP!!

Sorry about all the mistakes in the previous post - guess I'm too tired to type and should sleep! Obviously in the first para it should've said .....before AF is due (not AD !). In the 3rd para it should say .....try for a baby (not try for a birthday !! ). Probably other mistakes too (probably in this post as well!!).

Sorry

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??

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.

Assassin My AFs due on 6th September which if I'm on time (which I seriously doubt) and get pregnant next month it'll be due on 13th June which would've been dad's birthday (if I've got dates right). Dad was born on Friday 13th but it was always lucky for him and because of that we're not superstitious about it . Having said that, he was in an airraid shelter at 1 day old after his house was bombed!! Then again he was born at 26 weeks and survived at home with no hospital care!! Hard to imagine today. I can't believe you've got 2 x 2ww's going on, one for your bfp (not af, let's be positive) and one for dh's sperm results! Poor you, positive energy swinging you're way xxx

I've been feeling really sick for a few days now but am not really a sicky person so wondering.....

ShelleyLou I really hope we both get our special days. Sorry to hear of your db. It's lovely you've decided to use his name as a middle name we're doing the same. DS's middle name is Arthur after my Nanna's husband (couldn't really call him Doreen!! lol) and next baby will have middle name of Ernest if ds or Erneista if dd (pronounced Er-knee-sta).

Sorry about this but I'm going off topic now!
I'm really angry with Tesco at the moment and have started an AIBU thread as I'm sooooooo cross. As I feel I know you all so well and consider you all friends, all be it 'invisible' friends, please let me know if you think I'm BU or not and also what I can do. I'm not sure if I'm being a bit OTT in my feelings or if they're justified - I need an 'outsiders' honest opinion. Thanks. Here's the thread
