Symptom spotting :'(

I hate the 2ww and the whole is it pms, figment of imagination or am I pregnant?

I am due on Thursday but feel so different this month. I have been feeling light headed, dizzy and nausea, really bad fatigue and had really bad cramps.

But these can be explained by low blood pressure,a new job and ovarian cysts.

The main symptoms is my boobs. I never sense a change during pms or any differences but this month wow. They feel so heavy and swollen and look bigger (nipples are also higher up) and they are so sensitive and a bit sore.

This has me feeling positive but I know that I am probably not pregnant :-( I just hate the symptom spotting even though I have been told ot would be near impossible to concieve.

Just wanted to say that you're not alone! Each month I try to rationalise that it is highly unlikey that I'll be pregnant, but with each day that passes before my period, inevitably, arrives I start to quietly hope. Then when aunty flow does come I am totally gutted... and that's with me 'not' hoping & being realistic!

I really hope that this month things work out for you - good luck.

The first symptom I got was the sore boobies, less then a week after I OV'd! I also never got boob pain around my AF so I really noticed it. As well as the achy/heavy feeling I also got a prickly feeling like someone was sticking pins in my nipples, lovely! Good luck, try not to go bonkers during your 2ww.

Well, after a week of awful, much worse than usual, PMS, aunty flow has finally arrived, several days late. insert expletive

How are you doing Soontobeburns? I hope that the new job is keeping you busy so that the days are passing quickly.

Oops, didn't realise putting stars either side of a word made it bold!!

ScarlettInSpace · 29/01/2013 07:27

It baffles me why your body can't do ONE THING DIFFERENT, like I dunno, a little red cross on your inner arm or something. Just to let you know the very pg signs which are all the bloody same as the very due on signs are, this month, actual pg signs Grin

I've just done the same thing on cycle 27, haven't learned lol Wink

Symptom spotting here, due in 4 days, with fatigue and very sore boobs...possibly as I keep poking them to be sure theyre still sore. I hate hate hate the never ending tide of hope - guttedness (!) - acceptance - hope Sad

I'm with you ladies. Never checked my cm as closely in and wondered as regularly whether my boobs are normally this swollen as I am at the moment. I'm only month 1 of ttc properly, AF isn't due for a week, and I've already POAS. God help me!

soontobeburns · 29/01/2013 20:04

Thanks guys Smile good or rather not to know im not alone.

I POAS today and not the slighest hint of a line so back to packing my bag with tampons and towels Sad still time but unlikely.
And thanks mines loving my job so at least thats something.

Sorry scarlett I missed that did you get your BFP? Is so thats brilliant Smile

Month 34 for me. Seeing the fertility specialist on Thursday but unlikely to do anything due to my weight.

And I really hope everyone gets their BFP soon.

My new symptom is crazy cramping in my toes. Dr Google says this could be a sign.

How do you cope with this 2ww every month?!

ScarlettInSpace · 29/01/2013 21:49

Nope not this month for me...

But my boob soreness was soooo different this time i had myself convinced. Bah humbug

I've one cycle left then we start IVF again 2nd go, so looking for some proper symptoms this cycle!

soontobeburns · 29/01/2013 22:58

Sorry bout that Scarlett but Ikwum my boobs have never felt like this before. Gah.
