Symptom spotting!

64 replies

user1471496670 · 10/02/2017 12:04

So I'm currently 8dpo - going to test on Valentines Day at 12dpo and have loads of 'symptoms' this month.....
Currently we have: very sore boobs and nipples
Increased cm
Very visible blue veins in hands (palms and inside of fingers) and thighs - is that even a symptom?
Back ache
Lots and lots of cramping every night since Monday
Very vivid dreams every time I fall asleep
Had afternoon nap for 2 days running then 10/11hrs of sleep at night

Sounding possible?
Who else has got symptoms? Real or imaginary? Grin

I've been getting a heavy feeling in tummy and a pulsing pain/ache in my boobs that starts at outside (near underarm) and moves inwards then stop! Been more fatigued than normal! Hoping it's good signs but not hopeful for this month! Due AF on Sunday but only 7/8dpo as ovulated late and frer was BFN today (didn't work out dpo till after I'd taken it)

Yep I feel a bit like that! I'm swinging from 1 to the next! Yep defo fx for us both :)

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 10/02/2017 20:17

Fingers crossed for you both...symptoms sound promising anyway :) xx

QueenGiggles · 10/02/2017 20:32

Thanks little miss :)

Can you count "your partner irritating the life out of you (even when doing nothing) all of a sudden" as a symptom lol

BFN here this morning get! Due AF tomor! Been up feeling good puked since 4am tho that could be down to my medication

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 11/02/2017 07:32

I am feeling soooo sick and dizzy this morning, but it's probably just down to having worked a night shift 😟xx

Aw fingers crossed for you both...nausea sounds 'good'.
I feel a bit queezy too but didn't go to sleep until 4am and up early to view a house so probably lack of sleep!
No more cramping at all but did have another vivid dream!

First time posting and first time TTC! Hi everyone! Very new to this, AF still v irregular - only 2 visits since coming off pill in August. Last AF 14.01 and sure I ovulated 30.01 - right royal headache and sharp cramps for half a day! From (guessing!) 2 dpo have had sharp cramping and twinges in abdomen and lower back, followed by constant feeling of bloating & indigestion, & v. vivid dreams! BFN on 10.02, am I too early to test or just imagining things? Confused

WeasleyWoman · 11/02/2017 19:57

Some good symptoms OP!
I'm having a wierd one. Felt v pregnant 2 weeks ago, on pill, still breastfeeding DD10months and not had a period yet but took a test which was negative. Had chat with DH and decided to ttc DC3 and stopped taking my Pill (had reached end of pack). Since then I have continued to feel pregnant - nausea, bloated, nosebleeds, wierd pant snot and no period. Have resisted taking a test as I won't believe another bfn! So jist symptom spotting and trying not to get over excited/terrified

Very weird feelings in the bottom of my tummy...almost like movements (but obviously not! Lol) But similar feeling! Might take a test at just 10dpo tomorrow-they're cheap enough! Plus DP goes to work away tomorrow and not back until mid-week.

Good luck to everyone! I'm not expecting a BFP this month as we only dtd once and it was a couple days before I ovulated so I have a very low chance. But this month I have been so constipated for days then an upset stomach on repeat for over a week now! Driving me mad! Maybe it's a bug? Also have very sore breasts but this is usual for me before AF. I have a week until AF is due to rear her ugly head. X

BFN here this morning too and period cramps!

user1471496670 · 13/02/2017 06:28

And another BFN! Work this morning with a colleague/friend who started trying the same month as us and I'm so genuinely happy for her but feel sick at the thought of seeing her, and guilty for feeling that way. Sad

OP posts:
QueenGiggles · 13/02/2017 20:39

Bfn here too

It's only natural to feel that way and we're all the same

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 13/02/2017 21:34

Bfn tonight too, but I tested a few days early so we will see. Not convinced this month tho xx

QueenGiggles · 13/02/2017 21:37

Yeah I'm not feeling optimistic for this month at all now xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 13/02/2017 21:42

I worked out that if I'd have conceived this month then my EDD would have been on my birthday. And it was my birthday last year when I found out I was pregnant before my mc. I was kind of hoping this month would be kind to me but doesn't look that way xx

BabyKangaroo90 · 13/02/2017 23:13

I stupidly tested this afternoon too and it was very clearly a BFN! No squinting necessary. I wasn't holding out much hope for this month anyway but it's still so disheartening! X

user1471496670 · 14/02/2017 06:31

I'm so sorry Little Miss, Queen and Bambino x
Well Ovia app helpfully tells me it's time to test today and have yet another BFN. I feel absolutely devastated and crushed. If I'd conceived I would have been due on DPs Birthday and we were so sure I was this month. I have had every single symptom pointing to it, I just don't understand.
I'm now lying in bed crying with my heart pounding. It's so hard going through this every month and I'm really losing hope.

OP posts:
BabyKangaroo90 · 14/02/2017 09:26

User don't lose hope. I also did another FRER this morning and after spending ages agonising over whether what I could see was in my head or an indent line I realised I'm driving myself insane! It's just so hard because it's what you want so badly but stay positive. Maybe have a "baby makeation" and have a little break from it. Remember it's not over until AF rears her ugly head x

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 14/02/2017 11:31

So it's cd27 today and I'm having some tummy cramps and just had some clear mucous. I can't remember I had that or not last time I was pregnant?! Or is it just likely af is on the way?! Xx

Littlemisssugarplum88 · 14/02/2017 11:32

I'm sorry to hear that user Sad** Big hugs xxx
