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.

Can you believe I was embarrased to buy tests in asda this afternoon? I think this is why I don't test until I'm late!

Well and truly broke that today though, longest three minutes of my life and of course no second line.. for like ages Xmas Grin
I was convinced it was going to stay with that one bright pink line sticking it's finger up at me but then the second appeared so very slowly. It's torture I swear and I don't know how the POAS addicts do it? You must have nerves of steel.

Am going to test again tomorrow, don't quite believe it yet lol!

That's amazing news rugs Smile

lindamagoo · 06/12/2012 16:02

Awww congrats rugs, fantastic news Grin x

RugBugsWearingLittleSantaHats · 06/12/2012 16:51

Thank you both Xmas Grin

Disbelief is slowly turning into thoughts on how to get through the festive season without mulled wine, I live on the stuff usually and nearly bought some in M&S last weekend.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all still waiting, I better see you on the ante-natal boards soon!

lindamagoo · 06/12/2012 17:06

Lol rugs, you will just have to go daft on the wine next Christmas... I was pregnant with both my ds's over Christmas time and 8 mths pregnant with my 2nd for my 40th... So very happy for you Grin

bugoven · 06/12/2012 17:10

Thanks rugs I love mulled wine too. I reckon you could get a non-alcoholic recipe. I'll look one up just in case Smile

loveyou I'm sorry you're feeling low. This is really hard for TTCers especially with babies popping up all over the place. I'm up and down and waiting in limbo for a BFP or AF. Trying to resist POAS for at least a week. It's not over for us yet X

Brilliant news rugs

9 DPO and debating whether to POAS ........ but not convinced!

fx to those waiting x

waitingtobeamummy · 07/12/2012 07:15

Hi all, can I not actually join because It's tempting fate but lurk on the periphery. 3yrs ttc, second round of clomid, definatly ovulated 11dpo. Cramping, clear discharge, sore nipples, feeling in my. Boobs like I've grazed them (does that make sense?) Horrific wind Blush desperatly trying not to get my hopes up because I just no it won't have happened x

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 07/12/2012 08:05

What miu strength r the pregnancy tests u ladies r using at 9dpo? Think the ones from the shops r 20 or 25miu, if u get the 10miu ones from amazon they show results as soon as 1/2 days after implantation, when I was pregnant I got a clear bfp at 9dpo Grin

bugoven · 07/12/2012 08:35

Hopes are up for us all. loveme it may take longer ti get a positibe result, everyone is different.

twolittlemonkeys · 07/12/2012 08:51

Congratulations Rugs, that's fab news! Btw, in place of mulled wine, Bottlegreen make a nice spiced fruit cordial that you can add hot water too, alternatively, warm red grape juice in a saucepan and add a sachet of mulled wine spices or add cinnamon sticks and cloves :-) (DH and I don't drink so do this all the time)

AF would be due on Sunday if I had a 28 day cycle, but I may have to wait a further week or two. Still having vivid dreams

padster75 · 07/12/2012 09:28

linda I've had 2 bfn on the 10miu ones (currently 10 DPO but not good at excreting hCG, was 1 week late with DS before it even a faint line appeared).

Current symptoms are: veins like a road map on my boobs, metallic taste in mouth and that is it!! The tender bruised feeling nipples has stopped over night (DH is delighted Xmas Grin ). Guess I just keep waiting.

Although I do have a question for those who chart BBT. My post ovulation temps are between 36.2 & 36.4 wondering if this is high enough?

waitingtobeamummy · 07/12/2012 11:21

Hi padster. I was discussing temping with my fertility nurse last wk. I had definatly ovulated as we had seen it happen in my scans but my temp had been up and down so hadn't shown it. She said that the rules of temping are there to be broken! She said that they are not set in stone and you can ovulate/get pregnant without it looking right on your temperatures. I hope that helps.

padster75 · 07/12/2012 13:18

Thanks waiting, everyone else's temps are just so much higher than mine, so nice to be reassured xx

tink8181 · 07/12/2012 14:41

hi, please could I join you.

I'm TTC for the first time and I've not been coping too well with the symptom spotting and understanding my body! I was going a bit mad with it last month and was really upset when AF appeared. Have tried to be a bit better this month but, my brain is getting carried away again!

I've been really, really emotional this week and have had some really griping tummy pain. I normally get some when AF is due but usually only the day or so before. I've been exhausted too for the last couple of days and despite having about 10 hours sleep last night I've nearly fallen asleep at my desk twice!

AF is due on monday so I'm trying really hard not to test over the weekend

tink x

LeenHS · 07/12/2012 17:40

Rugs that's amazing. Loveyou, I so know how you feel. My AF arrived today and I am very sad.

Big hugs to you leen, we'll get that bfp next month.

Sephy · 07/12/2012 18:18

Can I join too? For me this is clearly way too optimistic as its month 1, and I'm pretty sure our only shot was 5 days before ov, but today (7dpo) and yesterday I've been feeling quite nauseous, my nipples def look darker and I had a weird, light headed episode earlier today. I'm also extremely hungry, which together with the nausea isn't a good combination!

I dread to think how bad I'm going to be with the SSing if there's a month where DTD and ov actually coincide...!

Writing this down has helped me see how unlikely it is, but I just feel weird, and I'm sure there's a large dose of wishful thinking in there...

waitingtobeamummy · 07/12/2012 18:46

loveyou that's the worst bit isn't it? Just wanting it over and done with so you can start trying again.
In my excitement I said I was 11 days dpo when actually I'm 10. Dammit.
Gosh but sephy how fab would it be first try to have worked?
