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?

Bugger, meant to put a smiley face in after munki to show I was chuckling and enjoyed her post - I did! :)

Hello arthursmum! Sorry to hear about your divvy GP, duhhh to the medics! I guess if you have a ds it can't be causing a major problem but still...

I have a very slight suspicious boob now, thanks to days of constant prodding I've managed to make one slightly sore - result!

Nice work munki, take care of that prodding finger, maybe bring a chopstick into use to save it from getting RSI .

I'm due on Friday and last week I had unusual amounts of cm, felt really nauseous, had sore boobs, headaches, and kept randomly bursting into tears (so not me - and very embarassing!).

This week I feel completely normal. I was convinced I was pregnant - now I reckon not

Hi everyone. Yey even more new people - I'm liking this thread. Munki I think you'll fit in just fine on this thread......

ArthursMum don't worry too much about the endometreosis. I was told at 18 that I should have a hysterectomy as it'd help symptoms and I'd never be able to conceive anyway as I was infertile. Thankfully I'm stubborn and refused it. Considering I'd never conceive I haven't done bad to have had 8, yes EIGHT pregnancies - shows what they know! Fingers crossed.

Munki I hope it does happen straight away for you but don't be disheartened if not as I fell on straightaway with my first 3 or 4 but have been trying for a while to get one to stick this time!

Row when do you think you'll go to dr's? I understand you wanting to wait though and think it's a great idea.

Assasin gutted your symptoms have tailed off but there's still hope.....

My symptoms seem to be getting stronger especially the sickness (although never had morning sickness before!). I'm sooooo tired too. I was due on 6th but am not going to trying not to test for another 2 weeks. This will take strength but I can't cope with a BFN right now and can always kid myself I'm having another 40+ day cycle. I pick my new car up (hopefully, considering I should already have it!) on 21st so will try to wait until then

I can't go to sleep tonight now. I was asleep and DH came up and found a massive spider on steroids big spider next to me on the bed and I HATE spiders ( massive phobia!!). Help.....!!!!!

munki and pippa, clear cm was a symptom for me, so fingers crossed

radley - you are hard as nails! I would have done about 10 by now. Fingers crossed for you. I think I'll go to the docs at 6 weeks, maybe just before I go on holiday, if I make it that far...

I had some bleeding earlier today, very pink, it stopped again straight away, does anyone know what you are supposed to do? There is no point seeing a doc is there as they won't be able to do anything?

Thanks for the solidarity radley - I am totally impressed that you are holding out until 21st - good on you - and I have also been freaking out about the massive sodding spiders that have been invading my house!
row78, I don't think pink bleeding is anything for you to worry about, from what I can gather its very normal, and the fact it stopped straight away is good. Let us know how you are doing. Lots of positive thoughts coming your way...

Hey all am on hols so sorry I havent been on. Row my cycle buddy I am so pleased for you :) I bled a bit in early pg and all was well- see doc incase you are worried etc. Also interesting about hormones and booze, I am going completely teetotal til xmas next month, see if that helps my hormones. I havent tested this wk- cue I am a big wimp who doesnt want to see a another bfn emotion. Symptom wise I am still crampy now and then- ovary pain, still veiny boobs- hurt when i take top off too and maybe more tired- this could be blamed on lots of other things inc. ds. Really lost my sex drive (sorry tmi) this is def not me. still got lots of cm too (sorry tmi, again). Also does anyone else have an almost hip bone pain? Is this just me? Cant test til Sat. arthursmum I too am thinking of getting a CB monitor though think my periods are too all over the place. On phone cant see next page. Hi new posters :) and hi assaisin,radley and everyone else I forgot (waves)

sorry that post was so long! Can see this page now and just wanted to add- munki poking sb and clear cm (well more white and lotiony, sorry tmi. I.ll kill the thread with my tmi's at this rate)- me too! Radley also very impressed you are holding out so long :) Do you think anyone can tell I've had no one to talk symptom spotting to for about 4/5 days?

Radley, loved your story about your special dates and grrrrrr to tesco, let us know how that develops. I admire your restraint at testing!

Been catching up on the posts, hello to all the newbies.

Helo, can i join in please?

TTC since December 2009. 1 DS (born July 2008), i am currently on 10 DPO (i think), being on month 10 i was sick of the let downs so didn't bother using OPKs this month!

I got a BFP the first time round after 7 months and after joining a mumsnet thread so figured it might send some luck my way.

Oh my goodness not even sure if Im in the right place here, only just started TTC, but feel like I'm going mad today so going to post anyway. Had very achy pelvis this week (had spd in last preg) and didn't think too much of it, but had really bad PMT symptoms for few days, got AF yesterday, which is over a week early! What is going on, why would my period be 8 days early for no reason. Feel very weepy and hormonal today, crying at daft things (which I did all through last pregnancy) A friend said it may be implanting bleeding (?) or could it be a very early MC? Feel like I'm going a bit bonkers today.

Oh and as far as symptom spotting goes:

Sore Boobs (not uncommon at this point)
Crampy pains that come and go
Back ache
Slight light headiness and nausea which comes and goes

So all in all it looks as though AF coming as not much different to any other month

I seem to start with pms almost immediately after OV!

Hi Choccie and Daisy - I am fairly new to this thread and wanted to wish you a fond welcome - not sure if I can offer any advice about what either of you are going through other than to say that you are not alone, and Daisy you are in the right place! Sounds a bit strange to have AF a week early, when I was pregnant with my DS I have some bleeding round about when my period was due and wrote off being pregnant at the time, then took a test a few weeks later (having just found out a colleague was pg, I was feeling really down so bought a packet of fags, having not smoked for a year, and a pg test - the test was positive, the fags got binned!)
I am pretty much certain this is not going to be my lucky month, but for the 0.000001% chance I am pg, I have been experiencing massive mood swings this week, floods of tears last night, uncontrollable anger today, and covered in bloody spots. Basically, I am turning into a teenager. Going to my room now to look at my posters and play some really loud music.

Hi everyone, I like arthursmum am fairly new so I'll join her in welcoming daisy and choccie. Am glad people have come back to this thread I thought I killed it with my large chunks of late night tmi! Sadly I have no advice as my body is clearly having a mad moment. daisy my pelvis feels like when I had spd, it didnt register that it is the same pain until I read your post. Does anyone know what this means? Is it common to feel the symptoms more at night? Hope all are well :)

Hello all, daisy SPD like symptoms were what I had in my last pregnancy so fingers crossed for you.

I think I'm out for this month, all cm has gone, since we're on the subject of cervixes I feel I can tell you mine has gone really low from being so high as to be non-existent a couple of days ago, and this morning my temp (am charting) is through the floor - for those not au fait with the lore of charting this means AF about to start. Bummer. Will be drinking lots this weekend to make up...

Welcome Daisy, Choccie, Munki, King and Pippa

Jazz hope you are having a good holiday and come back to some good news.

Row i dont think the light pink bleed should be too much to worry about. I too had bleeding in early preg,it was bright red and was only there once and i panicked and rang the epu. they said try not to worry,put a pad on to monitor the amount of bleeding,and if it didnt stop to come back to them. thankfully it stopped,but i still dont know what it was.hth

pmsl at arthurs post . Did you get yelled at for having your music on too loud and get grounded for a week??

How are you doing Bossy>

I have a confession to make-i tested last night. I thought i could see a really faint positive but the line was so faint its practically non-existant and tbh im not sure if im imagining it . Cant even get dp to look at it for me as he is away visiting his friend in wales until tomorrow. still have the test sitting in the bathroom and keep looking at it to check but i dont know if my eyes are playing tricks on me!! I feel a bit mad lol

I have feelings in my pelvic area that remind me so much of being pregnant and this is the first time ive ever really felt these while ive been ttc number 2.The only way i can describe it is that it feels like my pelvis is being pumped full of air,esp when im lying down (kind of reminds me of why i had to sleep with a pillow under my bump when i was pregnant with ds).Also was running to the toilet all day yesterday and constantly feel like i could go.my boobs def feel fuller but they dont look any different to me,and sometimes they go like this before af. cramps are still present,though are on and off and vary in intensity.
I dont know whether i am imagining all this because i want it so badly and have been trying so long,and am hoping the hsg i had has worked a miracle

oh dear i sound a right doom and gloom today

omg you need to get another test, I demand you go and get some right now!

(arthursmum emerges from bedroom where she have been writing angst poetry and filling bra cups with tissues to say - I'm with bossy on this one - get another test, rather than torture yourself with the current one!

I really appreciate the feeling of wanting it so badly, you are not alone, let us know how you get on...

has been, not have been, sorry!

Hi all,

Bossy and Arthursmum sorry to disappoint but i didnt get another test. I was considering getting one when i was in tescos earlier doing my shopping but am glad i didnt as i bumped into dps sister and she def would have noticed it in my trolley!! I will buy another one tomorrow (cd30) if af does not show up and i will do it on sunday with fmu. Im going to buy a first response cause clearblue have a reputation for false positives cause of the blue dye they use apparantly (was googling this earlier,as if you couldnt tell lol) and the one i used yesterday was CB. I honestly am starting to think i am going mad!!!!

I totally understand assassin - and thanks for the heads up on clearblue, I didn't know that about the dye. Take your time and only test when you feel ready for it, I know how completely crushing getting a BFN is - but you are definitely not going mad - although longing for a baby feels a lot like it sometimes... keep in touch, and don't lose heart.

good to see you back, been keeping an eye on the thread. I bow down to your restraint, I really couldnt be that sensible and wait to test but I just like disappointing myself. Got everything crossed for you but legs Keep thinking happy thoughts!

Thanks girls,you are so nice.

Im trying not to think about it or torture myself.what will be will be and if it was a very faint positive last night then it will do no harm to wait a few more days and clarify things properly. Haha im starting to wonder am i actually starting to believe my own pep talks .

Happy thoughts all round tonite Bossy.got the back up plan to watch on dvd and just ordered a chinese. Dp will be back tomorrow afternoon so trying to make the most of the me time i get once ds is in bed,though i have to admit i am really missing dp and he has only been gone since 4.30 yesterday lol absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that lol

Arthursmum i was googling for pictures of faint positive tests and one came up with an insertion beside it saying it was a false positive and then went on to compare cb and fr tests saying fr positives are more reliable.have no idea if any of the shite i am reading online is true but im not gonna take the chance.sort of have an emotional attachment to cbs though cause i got a +ve when preg with ds on one and have gotten nothing but -ves with fr so slightly dont like them,though always used them in the past cause boots always have them on offer (cheap skate that i am)

its also nice to know im not alone in the madness

Need help from thread chums - cannot resist urge to test despite having loads of period pains and feeling due on - talk me down team!
