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.

POAS this morning - bfn! Phew! Bad time for another baby, so will be TTC when we are more settled/ready.

amiready · 29/12/2012 10:45

POAS -BFP!! I'm pregnant!! We can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Worrying about hanging onto it now! The only symptoms i got have been diarrhoea and a brown stringy thing at day 6 dpo which must have been implantation. It's so exciting! Good luck ladies to all of you, really hope 2013 brings you your hopes and dreams xxx

bluefreckles · 29/12/2012 10:50

Congratulations amiready!! How exciting! You and your DH must be over the moon. Smile

KatyAnn28 · 29/12/2012 11:25

Congrats for the bfps ladies Smile

Well, here we go again. 4dpo today. No real symptoms except for mild burning cramps on and off since ov.

Also, I looked in the mirror yesterday morning to do my make up and I looked different somehow. Can't really explain it but my complexion was so much better and my hair was smoother. Think it's time to say goodbye to my sanity! Confused

KatyAnn28 · 29/12/2012 11:27

Oh, also seem to have more gas than usual, but that's definitely probably the brussel sprouts!

bugoven · 29/12/2012 13:24

Well done iamready.
I have had those exact symptoms - including the spotty chin. My cycles can be up to 42 days so holding out a couple more weeks before testing Smile

Can't believe you got your BFP so soon. Congratulations Xx

Gemski5 · 29/12/2012 23:54

Hi Ladies
Im pretty new to this and although DH really wants us to get pg i still have my doubts about being ready! Because of this we arent actively TTC but i think i may be a little late, i dont have my exact dates but going off the past 3 months i thought i shouldve had AF by now, and after having a look at this thread and reading about tiredness, metallic taste, cm and pelvic pains ive got to admit im a little (dare i say) worried.
Should i wait a few days to see if AF arrives and that it is all in my head or test? I havent mentioned it to DH because things havent been great lately and also i dont want to get his hopes up if im just imagining it.
All advice welcome and congrats to those of you with BFPs x

Creamtea1 · 30/12/2012 00:08

Preposterous am hoping you see this!! When you first got your faint bfps, (think around 23rd) did you carry on testing next day etc and how quickly did they get darker? I was a few days behind you (didn't ov til cd20 I don't think) so got a faint bfp last night, then did 5 (ahem) different tests today and all have faint but visible (even to a man) lines today. I think I am 11 dpo.

padster75 · 30/12/2012 11:47

8 DPO and I have a HUGE dip on my temp chart and stabby pains in left lower pelvis ........... I wonder

DoctorWhoFan · 30/12/2012 14:12

Can I join the thread ladies. Due to test on 9th January. Don't feel anything at the moment, but still keeping my hopes up.

KittenCamile · 30/12/2012 19:46

Hi may I join?

Congtulations on all the BFP's so far!

I'm on my second month of ttc and 8 dpo. I had a big temp dip on 7 dpo and had a lot of cramping around 6 and 7 dpo (still have a bit now) plus i fell asleep at the panto with DSD today! Have a bloated tummy and I didn't know that a runny nose or metalic taste in the mouth was a symptom till I read this thread, had had both since yesterday morning all plus giant sore boobs.

KatyAnn28 I have also found my hair and complextion better but took supliments this month so could be that.

I'm not sure when is good to test though, would 9 dpo be too soon? Also have has quite a bit of creamy cm, not sure if that means anything but I didn't have that last month.

We are desprately trying not to get excited but I feel great and tired all at the same time if that makes sense!
Good luck!

Preposteroushypothesis · 30/12/2012 20:29

creamtea I came on to see how you were doing and I'm glad I did!! Congratulations!!! My lines were really faint on the 23rd, I tested again on the next day and it was just a little bit darker but not much and then I did a clearblue digital on the 25th and got 1-2 weeks pregnant, so the cheapie lines have continued to get darker every other day or so I am still testing as I bought so many of the damn things I may as well use them! sounds to me like you are also pregnant!! Yay, hope to see you on the September thread!!

Congrats to all the other bfps so far!!

DoctorWhoFan · 30/12/2012 20:45

5dpo and I'm getting what feels like pinching on the right side of my abdomen, which is quite strong. My breasts are also a little sore but that's not unusual for me after ovulation. The pinching feeling is unusual though. No other symptoms as such, but after nearly 2 years of ttc, I'm desperate to get my BFP soon as I'm now in my mid-forties. [Sad]

padster75 · 30/12/2012 21:42

doctorwho I have a similar pinching, only yesterday it felt like something was screwing into my pelvis. Today it isn't so bad but I do have strange crampy feelings. Not af type crampy feelings, more waves like wind only minus the farts

DoctorWhoFan · 31/12/2012 07:31

Minus the farting, eh? Lucky you! Haha!

Feel so full of wind today already, it's just not funny. Mind you, in the last two years of ttc I've felt like this loads of times so trying not to get excited. Also at least 2 chemical pregnancies. I think it seems I can get pregnant, but haven't been able to stay pregnant thus far. Trying to remain positive but also realistic.

Pisses me off though that local chavs with scarily low iqs and deeply unhealthy lifestyles seem to just pop kids out left, right and centre though. It's so unfair.

Creamtea1 · 31/12/2012 09:48

Waves to preposterous!
I also have (ahem 20 or so) some IC tests left and will do one every other day, I did one this morning and it is slightly darker.
I have a cb digi left and will do that Friday to check it says preg 2-3 instead of 1-2 :)
Fingers crossed see you on the sept board!

KatyAnn28 · 31/12/2012 10:00

So, 6dpo today and yesterday my cramps went from mild and on/off to strong and constant. Also spread to the top of my legs.

They were really strong last night and are still here this morning...

What do you think ladies...possible impantation cramps or am I being overlystupid hopeful...?

Katy x

DoctorWhoFan · 31/12/2012 11:36

Don't know Katy, but I'm getting cramps and pinching sensations too, and I could feel it in the top of my leg yesterday. I'm trying not to get my hopes up given my long history of ttc, but the pinching is new. Here's hoping for all of us ladies in the 2ww!

padster75 · 31/12/2012 12:13

That's 3 of us with the pinching thing going on ........... fx and tries not to get too giddy .......... now here's the ultimate question, tonight: to drink or not to drink?

DoctorWhoFan · 31/12/2012 13:48

I'm not drinking. But then I don't really drink much anyway. I think I had 2 glasses of sherry over the Xmas period! Eeeeh, I sound like me nan! Grin

I already feel really bad...just had a McDonalds...it's from the devil, but I was hungry, what can I say!?

KittenCamile · 31/12/2012 17:46

I'm with DoctorWhoFan aand not drinking tonight, I haven't really felt like it to be honest although today I'm convinced I'm not pregnant (and spent the day crying about it!) I still feel the same but just think I can't get pregnant on my second month of ttc.

Keep trying to tell myself I'm tired and hungry because its winter. God its such an emoitional rollercoaster ttc! A DC is all I have wanted for years I can't take getting my hopes up and then getting a BFN. How do people cope? I have litrally been on off crying all day

DoctorWhoFan · 31/12/2012 18:08

I don't know really, you just keep going somehow. To be honest I'd be finding it easier if I weren't in my mid forties. Each cycle with a bfn is a cycle closer to menopause and no chance of our longed for child. Not going to dwell on it anymore today. Have a nice evening all.

DoctorWhoFan · 01/01/2013 08:19

Well last night was fun...not! I felt nauseous and SO irritable. I was really not fun to be around. Feel the same today, too. Also have broken out in the most horrendous spots on my chin - nice! GRRRR.

bluefreckles · 01/01/2013 08:54

Please could I join?
Last month I was CONVINCED I was pregnant as in the 2ww I had so many symptoms - but then AF arrived on the 1st of December - albeit, only 2 days worth which is rare for me (normally 4 - 5 days).
I'm using iperiod tracker lite to try and work out my ovulation times and AF due times.
Have only been off the pill (Yasmin) properly since beginning Oct.
AF was due to start yesterday and no signs of it at all at the moment.
My current symptoms are bloated, emotional and very angry at times, had some cramping, creamy white cm, face has gone really spotty and back has been aching slightly.
Wonder if AF will rear her ugly head this week. I've never tested (anything!) before but if no AF by the weekend may do a test.

bluefreckles · 02/01/2013 15:33

Hello everyone. Well my AF was due on the 31st (I'm normally pretty damn regular) and still no sign AT ALL that's she's even on her way...
TMI but still have creamy white cm - quite a bit each day. Normally I have spotting before AF shows up or maybe so brown, but nothing.
I don't have too many other symptoms that I could note - I have been pretty emotional one way or another the last few days but that happens with AF too... Also I have had some instances of heightened smell. Nearly threw up in the supermarket earlier when a not-so fresh old lady stood next to me.
Not sure when I should test...
