Anyone want to symptom spot with me?

319 replies

LoveYouForeverMyBaby · 02/12/2012 20:08

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.

tothemoon · 19/12/2012 00:23

Lovebeingamrs That's amazing news :) Really pleased for you!!
Holiday I have my fingers crossed for you and everyone else still to test.
Sadly I'm out the running till Feb now :( (DH abroad till then) AF turned up yesterday bang on time and it's been the heaviest most painful period I've had since I went on the pill at 16 to calm them down. Tempted to go back on it now tbh, in agony.

Learnt my lesson though, never going to test again unless AF hasn't shown up on time.

twolittlemonkeys · 19/12/2012 14:19

Just an update from me - (TMI alert)

Started spotting about a week ago, so thought AF had arrived, but the bleeding didn't get heavier as it normally does, just brown spotting accompanied by loads of CM for the past week Confused Have never had this before. Now wondering if this is implantation bleeding (didn't have implantation bleeding in any previous pregnancies). Also I feel really nauseous today but that could be due to having had too much caffeine (1 litre of Pepsi Max this morning) Oops. Anyone have a clue what my weird symptoms mean?

twolittlemonkeys · 19/12/2012 14:20

BTW Congrats LoveBeingAMrs

Hi everyone, Hope its ok to join. Its so nice to see that I'm not the only one driving themselves mental. My symptoms are pretty weak - cramps, bloating and some wind (sorry TMI!). I think I'm due on Saturday but my cycles have been slightly irregular recently. I've already taken two clear blue tests. One on Monday (way to early I know) and one today but only half an hour ago so it wasn't the first urine of the day. Both BFNs. I know its crazy but part of me wants to test again first thing tomorrow.

AhhYouWillYouWill · 19/12/2012 22:36

Hi everyone, can I join too?
I'm driving myself mad symptom spotting, but I probably have less symptoms than any other month! So far I've had a really sharp pain that lasted about 5 mins on the left of my stomach about a week ago and I've been pretty dizzy and slightly nauseous today. I've had no backache at all this month which is unusual. I'm also really spotty (sorry!)

I'm due on the 23rd which is also my birthday so don't know whether to poas and risk being disappointed or wait for af to make me grumpy on my birthday, aargh!

Holidaysressential · 19/12/2012 22:38

Hi all I'm back - no AF yet and cheepie test showed a hint of a line but not till 10 mins- so not sure but going to test again Friday - feel nauseous at 5pm every day - a typical sign for me and lots of burping so big fingers crossed

Creamtea1 · 20/12/2012 11:35

Hi ladies, hoping you can give me some hope! It's 4 days till af and I got a bfn this morning on a FR. Internet cheapy gives tiniest hint of the line but not until after the ten min mark. Is there still hope for me? anyone else had this and gone on to a bfp? I have 1 FR test left - should I wait till Sunday?

MarilynValentine · 20/12/2012 19:24

creamtea I got a bfn yesterday morning (3am! Had to pee & thought well this must be the first of the day then....). With a Clearblue Plus test.

I'm due on on the 23rd. Very disappointed with the bfn but like you I'm thinking maybe I tested too early? The Clearblue Plus is only 53% accurate four days before AF....

I've consoled myself with alcohol tonight! And by joining the January BFP bus thread. This year I'll enjoy a drunken Christmas and January we'll try our hardest to get a BFP! Best of luck marilyn, creamtea, holiday et al!

Creamtea1 · 20/12/2012 23:56

I will not test until Sunday...

Got sore ish boobs and nipples now, basically an af sign pfffft great..
This waiting is awful! Mad woman googling every single little thing

Preposteroushypothesis · 21/12/2012 07:34

creamtea we are due our bfp's at the same time aren't we? I caved and used a FR this morning as well as several IC throughout the week and all BFN. Gutted, trying to convince myself it's still too early but have been getting AF cramps, although as its earlier than I would usually get them I'm also still trying to believe that they are implantation cramps rather than AF coming early!! I'm going to wait until Xmas to test now yeah right

Holidaysressential · 21/12/2012 18:53

My hint of a line after the 10 minute mark is now a line that appears in under 5 mins so all looking good. Gonna test again tomorrow ....

lyndsey90 · 21/12/2012 19:10

Can I join??

Creamtea1 · 21/12/2012 20:31

Preposterous yes we are! And great minds as I did the other FR today and of course bfn. Weds I had 2 ic's that had faint line after ten mins. But same as you I have af type cramps so reckon its on it's way. Am not going to test till Sunday (clearly not true)...
It's bloody torture isn't it!

amiready · 22/12/2012 16:00

ok, so we dtd last Sat, totally spontaneous, weren't planning to start until after Christmas - and today (6 dpo) got some brown stringy thing and also some acute diarrhoea. Just looked these up and could be implantation?! I do get IBS so diarrhoea could well be part of that but never had a brown stringy thing before! No other symptoms apart from spotty chin! I'm going to do my first test on Christmas day. Imagine, it would be so cool to be pregnant. Here's hoping!! How much do you think it matters about alcohol? Had 3 drinks on the night of ovulation!

NewPatchesForOld · 23/12/2012 00:25

Oh God...another excuse to obsess! I'm currently ttc with #4. I'm on cycle #2. It's now 12 dpo and I would so love to be able to give dp a bfp for xmas!

So far I have excruciatingly sore boobs, especially when I take my bra off at night, blue veins and sensitive nipples.
Horrendous heartburn 2 nights ago which made me vomit.
I drank a full glass of milk last night - and I loathe milk but really wanted it (and milk and cheese were my cravings with pg #3), copious amounts of cm (keep thinking AF has come), and burst into tears in town the other day when dd2 disagreed with me over something.

So...I should be well used to this by now after 3, plus 3m/c, but it's been 9 years since I was last pg and it feels like the first time all over again. It's awful. I did a test this afternoon which was a bfn, but AF not due til Tues so will wait til then to retest.

Congrats to all the BFPers on here, and good luck to the rest of us Xmas Grin

Preposteroushypothesis · 23/12/2012 07:35

newpatches it sounds promising so let's hope it's just still a little early for a bfp to show! What type of test did you use? Was it an extra sensitive one? Try with first morning urine tomorrow!

So....caved again and tested just now, 2 Internet cheapies and 1 first response and all have a very faint line...is it time to get excited, is this a bfp?!?!? or should I restrain myself for a couple of days until I get a definite line??? The line on the IC's was so faint I could barely see it and thought I was imagining it but the line on the first response is faint but definitely there!!! I'm not due until boxing day so still time to get a stronger line crosses everything

CordeliaChase · 23/12/2012 08:59

Holy crapola. So I am late for af, and have been so nauseous today. Exhausted too. No other 'symptoms' really, just queasy and soooo tired! Did have stomach cramps, I had these when pg with DS. I will be POAS tomorrow (it's 3am here) and I'm a little worried. Not that I wouldn't be Grin because there were discussions about TTC #2. But DS is only just 2, crapping myself at the thought of 2 under 3 ConfusedBlush

amiready · 23/12/2012 11:47

No symptoms today! Mum keeps offering me sherry....

NewPatchesForOld · 23/12/2012 14:22

BFN this morning again. AF isn't due til 25th, but I did use a FR so it should have shown up if I was pg I think. Still have sore boobs, and had some very low down cramping last night so maybe AF is on her way. I won't test again til xmas day or even boxing day but I think maybe I'm out this month.

NewPatchesForOld · 23/12/2012 14:23

Preposterous...a line is a line as they say, no matter how faint. Looks like congrats might be in order Xmas Grin
