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?

Arthur what cd are you on? Would it be totally unreasonable for you to test?

Im going round to boots in about a half an hour to buy a test. I was up practically every hour last nite going for a wee (practically bursting each time) and i have been feeling a bit sick in the stomach all morning (kinda like hangoverish) but i did not touch a drop last nite.as a matter of fact i havent had a drink since 14th august lol
I also still have a crampy stomach and im convinced my boobs are starting to hurt a tiny bit

hurry up assassin! How have you the will power to not test when I have no patience to wait for you to do it? Fingers crossed!

yep arthuer what CD are you and what is your usual cycle length? Then I'll consiser a talk down

Damn, logged on too late. BFN i'm afraid, and I am not helping matters by having just eaten my own body weight in brie.

Problem with the cycle thing is that mine is completely unpredictable. Last period started 06/08 but before that is was about six weeks, and before that it was non-existent.

assassin you are a legend, and I am in awe of your self control. I am sending positive thoughts winging your way!

Right, what else have I got in the fridge....

my god I am so excited and really really really really really hope you get a bfp assassin!

assassin wow sounds very positive, all those symptoms you describe I have had in early pregnancy (and you can't imagine getting up to wee!)

I am def out, the auld witch turned up yesterday, pah.

sorry the witch got you munki, have a big glass of wine tonight

assassin, what are you doing? Get back here and tell us what the test said

no news yet?! Im heading for the 2ww I think, not counting the days but had a bit of the stretchy stuff so has to be around that time so making the most of it

Sorry haven't been back on everyone,had to go pick dp up from the airport yest right after i tested and then we were building a garage that we bought for ds,the bloody thing took hours im not kidding.

Anyway back to the test-it was bfn .cant believe it, was so convinced it was gonna be bfp. oh i could cry,ended up being so grumpy yesterday. af has still not arrived so i guess that hsg i had must be messing my cycle up a bit.fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Sorry that bastard of a witch showed up munki.

So sorry munki and assassin - I am still waiting for the crimson tide, despite having had vile period pains all week, which seem to be getting worse and worse.

assassin - getting a BFN is bad enough, but doing DIY on top of it? No wonder you are feeling grumpy. The mood I was in yesterday all it would have taken was my DH being a tiny bit mean and I would have ripped his head off and smeared myself Boudicea like in his still warm blood. Actually, that still may happen today considering I am still feeling borderline psychotic!

It is all so sodding unfair - but I am finding the support on this thread a bit of a lifeline - much as I love DH, he just cannot understand the yearning and disappointment when we discover we are not pregnant - thanks everyone on here.

Thanks arthursmum

at your smearing yourself Boudicea like in your DHs blood. But your right,there is no way men can understand what we go through,even though they may try-its our bodies after all.

Have you decided yet when to test?

Did one yesterday assassin and it came up negative. Been feeling rough all day today with period pains in waves and also a lot of feeling sick. I know I am not pg so am now getting riled that AF just hasn't arrived. If it did I could get on and buy a fertility monitor and start trying again.

A big booooooooooo for all BFNs

assassin - which brand did you use this time?

Thats exactly how im feeling arthursmum,at least if af shows up we can start concentrating on next cycle.

Row i used a first response. ive still got one left,maybe next month it'll give me the result i want--thats if af hurry up and arrives,really hope its not gonna be a really long cycle. Did your hsg mess your cycle up? im wondering if it has delayed ov or something

So sorry to hear of all the BFNs especially yours Assassin . As I was reading the last couple of days posts I was convinced you were going to get a BFP. I think I'd have been happier you getting it than me! Don't get me wrong I'm desperate to have another but you've just been through so much and for so long I really really wanted it to be your month!

Just a quick update about me: I'm trying to stay away from here for a bit because I'm trying to pretend I'm still on the 2ww!! If I'm not pregnant I'll be very surprised because of my symptoms but I'm so trying not to get my hopes up!!

Symptoms are;

• Feeling very sick for the past week or so
• Can feel my appendix and section scars pulling as if tummy's stretching (got same with appendix scar with ds)
• Just feeling pregnant
• Nipples very sticky out, enlarged, sore and sensitive
• DS pointing at my tummy again saying "Baby, baby"!
• Extremely tired all the time

I'm now a week past af due date but won't test until I'm either 100% sure or next weds (14th) I'm trying to hold out til 21st if I can. I cannot cope with a bfn this month so would rather wait for af or until there's absolutely no way it could be anything but a bfp.

Good luck everyone. I'll be reading the threads over the next week or two but probably not posting so please don't think I'm being ignorant (just trying to avoid the overpowering urge to test!). Lots of love and baby dust to all.

PS Row how's everything going?

Hi all. Sorry I havent checked in have been feeling confused and crap tbh. So sorry to hear about the bfns. It is truly heartbreaking. I have my own bfn stick to join the club. Am gutted like assassin i have symptoms but no af here and no bfp. Symptoms are sore boobs and crampy odd pains on my right side. Cant lie on my front feels odd and im rather easily annoyed fuming angry not me at all. Also still lots of creamy white thin cm. What should I do? Admit defeat? My cycles are so erratic I dont know whats going on :( how is everyone, assassin arthurs how is it going row? Sounds so promising radley good luck :) I'm so impressed you are still holding out.

Hey jazz, sorry about the BFN, but welcome back. Like you, I have been having odd pains in my right side, and am also "easily annoyed". I have pretty much written it off as pre AF symptoms. Was sure I was coming on in M&S today but when I got home !!tmi warning!! I had just some brown tinged cm. I will give you all a moment to swallow down that bit of sick that may have erupted into your throat before I continue... Bound to be AF, but wishful thinking says 'ooh ovulating or implantation' - reality means surfs up. Hey ho, guess me and DH have to get back in the saddle...

I was convinced assassin was going to get a BFP as well. Where has the hsg come from?

radley, sounding promising! I can't believe you have managed to still wait to test. Respect!

jazz - a big boo to your BFN as well. How late are you now?

arthur fingers crossed it is implantation and not the witch

oh and thanks for all enquiring how I am, I'm good, no sickness yet but still getting BFPs on my ovulation tests (cheapies, may as well use them up, even if not for ovulation). DS has turned into a monster however, radley - did you say you had a Dec 08 boy as well? Does he throw tantrums at just about everything?

Oh no assassin, I also really thought it was your time, its awful isnt it, every month we convince ourselves but then you get that month where you really really believe its going to be and its hard when its not.

Come on Radley we are relying on you here to get a bfp now, we all need our spirits lifted to give us all some hope! Ive good a good feeling about you this time, would be amazing after everything youve said.

hey arthurs ooh I really hope its implantation :) dp and I will be getting back in the saddle too. Think I will just have to put up with feeling crap and not knowing why :( p.s arthur is a fab name. If we have another ds he would be called arthur :) row so glad all is ok. Cycles so erratic im not 100% sure. Im feeling very sorry for myself my boobs hurt and I have cramps :(

hey bootyboop I somehow have totally missed you! Are you in the 2ww now? Hope all is well. Sorry to everyone else I've missed

Got bright red spotting last night so was fuming that AF had arrived as was convinced that my symptoms were all positive signs!

I fully expected a full on AF this morning but nothing I am now also hoping for implantation as yesterday was 13 dpo i think! Maybe i ovulated very late this month and will have a 45 day cycle

I think in the 2ww you can convince yourself of anything

Well still hanging on in there! I know I said wouldn't be back on until I test but need a little support. I've got a little bit of pinky coloured cm and am hoping it's just implantation bleeding. Normally I would be convinced that af was due to start but it's different to normal. Af ALWAYS starts with brown discharge then becomes full red flow within a few hours. This time however it started this morning as pinky cm (looks like there's a tiny streak of blood mixed with the extra cm I have) but has gradually lessened to nothing but clear cm again. Is my body playing tricks on me or is it really implantation bleeding (that elusive ib that we pray isn't af but is af every month!)? Oh I don't know what to think. I want it so bad like we all do (otherwise why would we be here obsessing every month?).
Thanks for all the respect/strong messages. I don't think I'm being anything other than a chicken as I really can't face another bfn
Row I have a Nov '08 ds. For him his tantrums are shocking but compared to others his age he's really good. He's always been so chilled out and easy going but he's definitely got his daddy's temper!! Infact ds is SO good I'm convinced that next dc will be a nightmare!!
Lots of luck to those on the 2ww, hugs and wine to those who got caught by the wicked witch and lots of strength and hugs to those with bfns still waiting for aunt flo. Thinking of you all xxx

Hi allthatjazz! Been ducking in and out, trying not to get too obsessed this time - yeah right! Im on CD16 - I said I wouldnt count but couldnt help but check!

Decided to print the old thread off as it was like a diary of ttc journey and thought in the future when sat with the baby I so longed for I would find all this hilarious! It was 134 pages long I thought I could shorten it by just printing from when I entered the thread but that was page 5 or something like that, it was quite early so had to print the lot! Havent read it, but one day I will

assassin - I have just realised that you said hsg and not hcg - doh - sorry! Nope, I had a lap and dye and it didn't affect my cycle at all.
