Am I imagining all these symptoms?

I have been watching a lot of these threads lately and thought I needed to post as I couldn't bear it any longer!

I came off cerazette in June last year, periods settled straight into a 28 day cycle which was great however we have now been 6 months ttc without success as yet

I feel so sick today, I have had brown spotting for a couple of days this week (not sure if pre af as my body likes to mix symptoms up each month it would seem) and my boobs are so sore even now I am wearing a bra I can still feel them throbbing and sore nipples which is not anything I have experienced previously ! Also getting a lot of yellow snot like cm which is there everytime I wipe (sorry if tmi)

Anyone else driving themselves mad symptom spotting wondering is this it?

Thanks for reading :)

You could be, it's always hard to tell at this stage I find. You can take a FR test now since you're only two days way from AF (I wouldn't be able to resist, especially with symptoms!). I tested four days before AF with a FR and a cheap Superdrug test and got a BFP. Good luck Smile

Good luck, report back if you can Smile.

I'm also having symptoms glitterball86. But trying not to think about them too much. I have a lower backache for a few days now and yesterday lower cramping mostly on my right side. Af is due in 3 days but ive had no spotting or anything. Im thinking of doing a test. Do you think its to soon?
good luck xxx

Glad it's not just me! I keep trying to forget about them but then the pain gets too much I was in tears earlier where my boobs were so sore and I felt so sick which is not like me!! As Emus said you probably ok to test with an early test but it's up to you not sure if I am feeling brave enough just yet! Good luck and keep us posted cx

Oh gods, preach! I have so many symptoms but I am trying to put them out of my head. I have been very sick since Sunday (proper vomming first thing in the morning - I had terrible sickness with DS...), sore and sensitive boobs, sore back, strange "tugging" cramps, pissing like a racehorse and starving hungry. My rational brain, such as it is, is telling me I am imagining it all.

I have made attempts to temp and had a rather significant dip below the cover line on Tuesday but temp is back up again today. I have had a lingering cold so I am not sure if that has had an effect. Depending on which app I use (loads) AF was due between Monday and yesterday. I don't want to get my hopes up, especially given the temp dip, so I have resolved not to test until tomorrow morning. We have only been trying since October and I have infuriatingly epic cycles of 38 days - at least they are consistently long! Will purchase a FRER this evening - thank goodness for late night Thursday shopping.

I don't recall the early symptoms with DS as he was a happy accident and I only found out I was knocked up at 6 weeks Blush. As I recall I just thought I was under the weather/hungover. It was the sore boobs and lack of AF that made me buy a test then.

Good luck all!

Emus · 15/01/2015 15:03

I believe FRER say you can test up to 6 days before due AF (but the results this early are quite slim). I tested with a FRER 4 days before AF and got a positive (because I had heartburn which I've not had since I was pregnant with DS!).

Obviously it's best to test on or after AF date but I'm far too impatient for that, especially if I'm getting unusual symptoms. Good luck everyone Smile

RubyReins · 15/01/2015 16:49

I fully expect to see a BFN tomorrow. The only reason I am going with FRER is due to its pinkness! Less likely to be an evap line or something like that. Or so I read on here. I am impressed with my patience! I almost feel as though nipping to Boots in a tick will tempt fate and awaken the witch...

Anyway! Congratulations on your pregnancy Emus and good luck to all those testing soon.

RubyReins · 16/01/2015 08:44

BFN as I feared Sad Onwards and upwards. Good luck Glitter.

Aww could just be too early so sit tight and have my fingers crossed!

I did purchase a test but to afraid to use it as don't think I can cope seeing another BFN so will wait and see what happens tommorow :) xx

Fingers crossed for you! Those sticks just scream at you from the bathroom cabinet don't they?!

I doubt that it's too early for me really but with DS I tested at 6 weeks pg and got a positive so I don't really have a benchmark for testing at this stage. Maybe I am one of those women who will only get a BFP further down the line...? Deluded is more likely! Grin

Allstoppedup · 16/01/2015 12:57

Fingers crossed for you! I've had a week of symptom spotting and a row of BFNs.

It's really heartbreaking when you get it in your head!

Good luck!

Lauramum23 · 16/01/2015 13:15

I've got a week to wait yet, and there is a clearblue upstairs (screaming by next week I must resist) I thought I was pregnant last month but my cycle was slightly longer, think I'm averaging 30 days I had mirena coil out in September and I wanted at least 2 good cycles as the mirena can thin out the lining of womb making it difficult for the embryo to stick, so anyways back to the point this will be my 4th child and all 3 pregnancys have shown after period has been late probably a week late so ill just have to hold out!!

DandelionWishes88 · 16/01/2015 13:16

Well ladies had cramps yesterday. Then this morning woken up by really bad cramps and what I think is early AF. Early by 3 days. But not feeling well my legs feel like jelly and have a metal taste in my mouth weird! Good luck every one. Is so nice to talk to you ladies xxx

Lauramum23 · 16/01/2015 13:17

I always wish i could look inside myself ie see when u r ovulating or if you are pregnant!

Allstoppedup · 16/01/2015 13:23

Dandelion metallic mouth taste sounds very promising! Grin

I had HG and was sicker than I have ever been in my life with DS.

I certainly wouldn't want to experience it again but a tiny part of me wakes up every morning a little disappointed that I don't feel nauseated and that I can't smell my own hair! Blush

RubyReins · 16/01/2015 13:32

That gives me hope Lara!

DandelionWishes88 · 16/01/2015 13:49

Im not getting my hopes up allstoppedup. But symptom watching is all I seem to have in my head just now. Xxx

Allstoppedup · 16/01/2015 14:01

I feel the same way. It's so hard not to get your hopes up isn't it! I bought mini tests from Amazon and felt like I was developing a POAS habit so I've but a strict ban on any more until I have some concrete symptoms!

DS announced his presence rather strongly at 6 weeks (even though he was a complete shock) so part of me thinks that my body will definitely let me know...still trying to stop myself jumping on the smallest of changes is very difficult!

DandelionWishes88 · 16/01/2015 19:17

Now AF (if thats what it is) is very light and no cramps at all now just a bit of backache... wish I knew what's going on in this body if mines.
Allstoppedup I havnt even bought any pregnancy tests yet I figure I'll just run to the pharmacy wheb need to I havnt got a clue which ones will be best. Xxx

Well due day today no signs of her coming and able been experiencing acid reflux all night sadly but still afraid to test :(

Fingers crossed for you all xxx

Allstoppedup · 17/01/2015 12:14

Good luck Glitterball. Still no signs of AF here either but I am horribly irregular so it sadly doesn't mean much!

Still in lots of pain in the nips when feeding DS, they are super sensitive all of a sudden but I do think it's just wishful thinking! Sad
