Anyone want to symptom spot with me?

Am 4dpo (I think) so ridiculous to think I am experiencing any symptoms but going to obsess anyway.

Does anyone want to symptom spot with me?

3dpo - right nipple was feeling itchy. Throbbing in my right ovary. A fleeting feeing in my uterus.
4dpo - slightly bloody nose this morning, both boobs feel tingly similar to when I was breastfeeding.

Clearly I am insane(!) but feel free to symptom spot with me.

Oh can I !! AF due on 15th ish so will wait until 11th at the earlyiest.
Highly unlikely that I am pregnant but slimchance.

Symptoms .. Feel queasy, metallic taste in mouth, and cramps for the past 2 days. This afternoon evening the cramps were really bad :(
Oh and yesterday I got all teary at at Christmas song.. Real tears.. So unlike me!

Thanks, I think I must be imagining it all.. Would be extremely lucky if I caught this month. We were planning on December being our ttc month!

How are you feeling today?

Same here, we were planning on ttc in Dec but decided to start a month early so its our bonus month.
Just woke up and dont feel any different so far...
Are you ttc #1 or #2+?

Morning! Can I join please?

We're JS so I try real hard not to symptom spot but yesterday was 8dpo (based on casual cm observation) and I had cramps all damn day and felt murderous.
I never get cramps not even with af.
I got extreme fatigue very early with DD so that is going to be my clue for this week I think!

Welcome rugbug I got lots of cramps when early pg with dd...sounds like implantation to me!

I have irregular cycles and rarely ovulate. However on 17th November DH and I had sex (an accident really as DD is only 6 months old).

Since then I've had really sore boobs, and I've felt sick for over a week now. I'm also in a foul mood. Exactly the same as with DD. Took a test on Saturday afternoon... negative. Is there any chance I tested too early? Or am I definately not pregnant and just going insane? haha x

mahna when was your last period? Also are you breastfeeding?

OP posts:
MahnaMahna · 03/12/2012 12:12

My last period was 61/2 weeks ago, but I often go months without one. Not breastfeeding x

It sounds like potentially you could be pg....how do you feel about that thought? Why don't you test using a digi and fmu tomorrow?

beckie90 · 03/12/2012 12:52

What kind of test did you use? You should try a sensative one like first response. I dtd 16th and got a posative Friday with net cheapies the sensative ones used Morrisons own normal ones next day and got a very clear posative xx

lindamagoo · 03/12/2012 13:18

Hi, hope u don't mind me jumping in on this thread but I'd luv 2 keep track on how u r all doing and ur symptoms. I'm getting my coil removed 2day 2 try for baby #3 and I'm already obsessing over it, lol xGrin

MahnaMahna · 03/12/2012 14:05

I used a clearblue. So I think it must be right. Plus, surely if I felt sick because I was pregnant, I'd have hcg and a positive test? It might just be my hormones playing up xx

RugBugsWearingLittleSantaHats · 03/12/2012 14:22

Hi Linda I'm trying so hard not to obsess, I tell myself that it's pointless being organised when we share a bed with three cats and (at every opportunity) a two year old!

Mahna When I was coming off cezerette I had crazy cycles, had a really long one and I was so sure I was pg, had every sympton going (except for a +ve test) I was convinced Xmas Grin, we tried three different test brands but nope, AF eventually showed her face. Upside my cycles have been regular since then.

beckie90 · 03/12/2012 14:28

Don't want to get your hopes up here either but clearblue are suppose to be one of the least sensative tests Google it, so if your hcg was only low it prob wudnt show on it, id try re test with a more sensative test like first resonse or even superdrugs own in a few days if you still feel same. I tested last Tuesday with a normal test it was a clear neg, used a sensative 1 fri and got a posative so just goes to show xx

MyMamaToldMe · 03/12/2012 14:44

Hi all, we are trying for #2 and I'm using the clearblue fertility monitor. I've been using it since August, and since then I have only had 3 periods, and only 1 peak fertility. The peak fertility was a few weeks ago - and lots of sex was had! Since then I have been obsessing that I am pregnant! Symptoms are crying over everything, crampy, more tired than usual, sore boobs (on and off). But of course these could mean my AF is coming too! I did a clearblue test last week Thurs and got a faint line, did another CB test on Sat and got no line. What do you think? Go out and buy a 1stResponse? As AF is so erratic, I can't be sure when it is due, but if I was going on 28 days, it would be due on the 5th.

MyMamaToldMe · 03/12/2012 14:44

Sorry - I mean 2 periods, not 3!

beckie90 · 03/12/2012 15:42

Did you use fmu both times? And did the line come up within the time in the leaflet cause sometimes evap lines appear if you leave it too long. But yea id say first response is your safest bet xx

FelixCited · 03/12/2012 17:41

Hi everyone, I am ttc #2. Same symptoms as first time... But I think that's because my mind is completely messing with me!! Now feel twingy and 'full' of course I had none of these symptoms at work as I was so busy.. But as soon as I stopped I had backache (probably because I was bending down a lot !)

How is every one this evening.. Any poas action happening?

lindamagoo · 03/12/2012 17:59

MyMamaToldMe maybe u shud get the pack of 10miu test strips from amazon! With both my boys I got a very definite BFP at just 9 dpo, they r nice and cheap aswell xxx

ifso · 03/12/2012 18:01

Hi everyone

well, heightened sense of smell here, cleaned out fridge twice this weekend already!!! tired in afternoons, needing to wee lots.. however, this was the same as last month tho, then AF came 8 days late, boobs were ever so sore then too. I never have these symptoms with AF normally. AF was much heavier last month too.

Anyhow, AF due 19th dec so I have a few weeks to wonder! ttc#3 btw

lindamagoo · 03/12/2012 18:07

So just back from getting my coil removed, due to ovulate on Thursday if getting the coil removed doesn't mess my cycle up, doubt I'll b lucky enough 2 fall that quickly tho but u never know and doesn't help that our 18 mth old ends up in our bed every night, bit of a passion killer, lol xxx

RugBugsWearingLittleSantaHats · 03/12/2012 18:42

Think I might have a tummy bug which could explain the ongoing cramping.

Have felt like a sack of shite all day and no appetite, odd lower back pain that doesn't shift if I sit up straight/stretch.
Have that horrid heavy feeling I get the day before AF but not due till Saturday and I have a short cycle anyway so arriving now would be like 19 days Xmas Hmm

MyMamaToldMe · 03/12/2012 20:21

Bought a FR test and negative Hmm Guess my symptoms are AF ones. Gutted.

LoveBeingAMrs · 03/12/2012 20:36

Oooh can i join!? 1dpo, nothing yet but sure there will be in a few days!! Month 2 of ttc #1!
