Manic symptom watching!

[Babymamababy]

Hi all,

This is a place for all manic symptom watchers to share stories and convince themselves they have each other's symptoms! Nothing like a healthy dose of mania to ease the real anxiety and worry ttc can cause!

I myself have just recently started ttc and have seen myself go from a fully rounded adult to a manic symptom checker.
So today's symptom is a pinchy like pain in my left lower abdomen...could be wind...but no...as a manic symptom checker...I'm convincing myself it's a sign of implantation!
I will share a new one everyday. Please add your own...I want to have them too&!

Still getting bfn but absolutely convinced I'm upduffed.... I guess only time will tell.

I would of course be a little disappointed if I'm not but I never thought it would happen quickly so mentally I was preparing myself in for a long wait.

My husband thinks I'm nuts but it's hard to explain all these feelings and symptoms really. Only I know what's usual for me and how I usually feel.

Perhaps I'm one of these people who won't get a bfp until they're 2 weeks late.

Fingers crossed for you Foxtrot and Emzlou.

Thanks Gillian.
i think i may be one of those people who gets their positives really late or i might just be imagining all of it and im acually not pregnant! Who knows!!!

Hello do you mind if i join in? I am 4 days late for af and I have been symptom checking like crazy! For about a week now I have experienced Nausea, dizziness, lower back pain and stomach cramps. Some days it felt like my period was going to come early but nothing happened. Since yesterday I have had very sore breasts and heartburn at night. I actually feel good, as though af is no where to be seen which is unusual for me. I usually get a very painful build up to af. I have had BFN everyday since I was due af and I think I will resist retesting until I'm 7 days late if af doesn't turn up by then. It's so frustrating!

I've just been for a bikini line wax as off on holiday tomorrow - fuck me that hurt ALOT (SYMPTOM!)

I too am hoping I am one of those who take a while to show a bfp. I've just had some Brie to try and invoke the law of sod

claire I feel for you - I am going to test again in the morning and if still negative and no AF I will take a break whilst I am on holiday and leave it til I get home or AF arrives.

Fx for everyone!

I feel like im going to be saying hello to being 10 days late tomorrow...no real sign of AF showing up yet. I had a few cramps in my abdamon again. Boobs haven't hurt today, well they might of not hurt before it could all be in my head!! I actually feel really happy & bouncy today which i havent felt like that all week! I still feel like AF is starting to come and time and time again i rush to the toilets and NOTHING! If this is just a sick creul joke that witch is playing i wont be happy

Oh no emz - are your cycles normally regular?

Iv had 3 months of 31 day cycles before that i was on the pill.

Hi all. I hope you don't mind me joining this thread. We've been ttc for a while. All in, this is my 20th tww. I already have a DS.

This time though, I'm really feeling positive. I'm due on on the 29th but had period pains today. I had that last time. Also, my skin has cleared right up. I know there's no point testing yet but I would be so delighted if I was! It is starting to feel like it might not happen a second time for us.

Oh Emz I hope you get the positive, sending hugs . My symptoms now include bad skin, horrible spots. Being emotional and boobs hurt. I've again today have a small amount of spotting, only 1 wipe worth, I hadn't realised but af is actually due next Sunday so don't know what's going on there. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow to get checked out, do you all recommend I see the doctor or nurse?xx

And I could go to bed now I'm that tired!!! Nothing to do with being at the beauty show standing around all day!!!! Lol xx

Bustherb i said i would go to the docrors tomorrow if i didnt have my AF but now tomorrow is getting closer im getting more scared to go "/

You should go Emz, he may send you for a blood test so at least you will no one way what's going on?xx

So just had a huge urge to POAS so as i got home i did one. Using accue news pregnancy test from home bargins and a BFN still. I need to start realising im not pregnant!!!!! Do you guys think i should bother still going to the doctors tomorrow or just take the 5 neg test that im not preg?!!!

I am testing again tomorrow morning, as my test from this morning now has a faint second line!
I only waited 2minutes before crawling back to bed after I took it because it was 6am!!!!!!!
I did the same brand test (crappy Sainsburys) last night and tonight and both bfns.
I've no idea if the 2nd line on this morning's is an evap or a positive as the one from last night doesn't have one.
But the second line could've appeared 4minutes or 4 hours after I went back to bed, I've no idea!!! So angry with myself!!!!!
It will probably be goodbye to my relationship if it is positive. So as much as I'll be happy getting a bfp, it will be dampened by that.

Emz definitely go to the doctor if you still aren't seeing af in the morning. Although, if you convince yourself your not pregnant, and you then get a positive, it'll be a lovely surprise I guess!!

Good luck Claire and Foxtrot

Thank you Foxtrot, it's so disheartening constantly seeing a negative test but the not knowing is also difficult! I still have no sign of AF, just sort breasts and pain on my lower left side.

EmzLou 10 days!! I can't imagine what you are going through. I have read that a lot of women don't get BFP until 14 days after af due. FX you get answers soon, it's not over yet! I understand your fear of going to the doctor, I would be the same.

FX everyone. Lumpy custard I hope that was a faint BFP!

OMG LumpyCustard i hope its a positive for you!!!! Keep us all updated, im excited for you! Im 90% sure i wont be seeing AF tomorrow i just have that feeling! Just feel silly going doctors as i dont even know whats going on. Might pluck up the courage to go!
I just cried watching kick ass the bit where the dad dies! Sign or just me being me ha!!

Docs are full this week so more waiting for me....Cycle day 41. Af late by 10 days :(

Emzlou I'm on my lunch break and I was hoping u would have some good news must be torture that little bit of doubt either way, feel for u

Sorry im not 9 days late its 10 days!!! Can't get sewn by the doctor this week!! So thats me waiting again till next monday where i'll be super insane!
LumpyCustard did you get lots of negatives before your positive?

Hyland i really thought i would have had answears today too. Im going to ring docs at 8am tomo just incase some has cancelled!!!! Anyone else had their BFP after lots of negatives?

the title of this thread made me laugh. I've been poking my boobs all weekend to figure out if they are sore or not... Oddly enough, they are now ;-)

Sooooo......I now have 2 faint positive Sainsburys tests (both morning pee but didn't show up for ages!) and 2 negative Sainsburys tests both evening pee
But, I found a thread online.......(I don't know why but I can't paste it here)
but I searched 'confusing pregnancy test result help' and it was the first result (a babyexpert chat).
So, after reading the clinicians piece, I'm utterly baffled
But, this evening I now have a tiny amount of brown blood up there and I don't know what to put it down to :( My cervix is still high though
Just yet more waiting
Fingers crossed for you still Emz!!!!!!!!!! (and everyone else hoping for bfps)

Tortured...

Just how can we experience so, so many pregnancy symptoms and suddenly AF comes almost a week early!

How do you all cope with this?
