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.

Did two FRER tests today both showed two lines so bfp? On both tests though the second line was always vey faint (but both oh and myself saw it). AF is due tomorrow will test again tomorrow.

There's always something to put a downer on things but I'm sure it will all work itself out, best of luck to you x

KatyAnn28 · 08/12/2012 18:26

That sounds great LoveYou, congrats!

I tested again yesterday morning, another bfn. Going to try again tomorrow morning (good job I bought some IC as I think I may be addicted!)

Have been exhausted all week, got a great night's sleep last night but have been literally dead on my feet since early afternoon. FC! xx

KatyAnn28 · 08/12/2012 18:28

Oh, and I also burst into tears twice today. Once when my DH told me I needed new boots as they were scuffed and another time when he told me my hair was looking a bit bouffant (later he said he meant it as a compliment)!

Anyone else feeling overly emotional?

Meandmycats · 08/12/2012 18:33

Ooh yes Katy! I've just been in Asda and tears sprang to my eyes when there wasn't any Glitter Berry J20 on the shelf! I hadn't even been wanting it, I'd just seen a TV advert for it so thought I'd look as I walked down the aisle and suddenly there were tears in my eyes!

bugoven · 08/12/2012 18:47

All this good news is making me mire hopeful for a Summer Hols baby Smile Well done and/or good luck. How exciting

waitingtobeamummy · 08/12/2012 21:25

Hi all, still hanging on but now have zero symptoms :-( have 3 more days til when fertility nurse said I should test but not holding out much hope.

tothemoon · 08/12/2012 21:51

Is craving roast spuds a symptom? Grin Queasy as hell tonight.
bugoven same here, a summer baby would be lovely! Congrats loveyou great news!
Reallly tired today again. I'm either coming down with something or... I darn't say it!
meandmycats how many cat's you have? lol, you sound like me. DH works abroad, we have 5 windows of opportunity a year to ttc. Trying to match those up with ovulating is a mine field.

Meandmycats · 09/12/2012 00:02

tothemoon - I have 3 cats. At the moment they are my substitute children but I really want to give them a human sibling! (whether they want one or not!)

Aww, yes I can understand how difficult it is to match up ovulation with times your partner is home. Fortunately for me my husband is now back permanently so I'm hoping we'll finally be successful!

tothemoon · 09/12/2012 00:25

meandmycats exactly the same, 3 terrors! Love them though.
Husband works in Saudi so no chance of me going out there unfortunately, it's going to be a long term thing so we are starting ttc now and seeing what happens. Will be amazed if I get pg first cycle! Bet you are glad to have him back home now, best of luck!

FelixCited · 09/12/2012 07:15

Me again.. Sore nips and boobs, might cave and test on Monday but should really wait until tues at earliest. Any more news this morning loveyou?

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 09/12/2012 08:58

Morning ladies, well af is finished now so this is it! I'm officially ttc, woohoo!
How are you all today? Hope you had a good weekend.
Loveyou have you tested this morning yet? Fc it's a definite bfp if you have Grin

waitingtobeamummy · 09/12/2012 10:03

linda that's very exciting for you! Still no sign for me, I normally spot a couple of days before hand so waiting for that today. Know I'm starting to get my hopes up far to much.

LindaLetitSnowMagoo · 09/12/2012 10:37

Waiting you can't help but get your hopes up eh? When I was trying for my 2nd ds I thought every month was the 1 and like you I get spotting for a few days before af but it never happened as much when I was ttc so every month I got my hopes up Hmm

bugoven · 09/12/2012 11:07

waiting I think it's great to be excited. The dissapointment I've felt every month I haven't conceived is horrible but if I do get lucky enough to get pregnant I want to enjoy every bit including the anticipation of a bfp. I feel a bit silly when I'm showing my OH another bfn but one day....

I'm now CD40. No af but definitely something happening as I'm getting cramping now.

waitingtobeamummy · 09/12/2012 12:03

Feel the same bug every month of 3years and two months I have thought this will be my month. It takes over my life the scans, the symptom spotting everything. Just hope that one day....anyway enough mopyness from me! Until it comes their is still hope! Good luck bugs and everyone.

bugoven · 09/12/2012 12:46

waiting I'm 1 year 1 month in. If I can be as positive as you in another 2 years I'll be very impressed with myself. Be as mopy as you need to be Thanks

KatyAnn28 · 09/12/2012 12:48

Another BFN for me this morning :(

Going to try my hardest to wait a few more days before trying again.

Sephy · 09/12/2012 17:24

It's so hard to wait, though, isn't it katy? I'm sorry for y

Sephy · 09/12/2012 17:28

Oops fat fingers on the phone, sorry. Anyway, really sorry you didn't get your good news Katy, and we should both try to wait a while before trying again! (I did the same as you this morning).

Also told DH about how I feel, but he's sure it's all in my head. Ah well, at least he won't be disappointed that way if AF comes! Do the rest of you talk to DP/H about your SSing?

Thinking of you waiting and hope you've had some good news confirmed loveyou.

padster75 · 09/12/2012 17:42

Sephy & katy that makes 3 of us with bfn this morning!!

I still have the same lingering symptoms I have been trying to avoid for the past 3-4 days. This morning I woke with the bastard monster of all headaches, which I have put down to having to stay up all night with a very pissed and vomiting DS who quite clearly can't drink as well as his mother!!
