Symptom Spotters ahoy...argh..please join in

[chilledmama]

OK...so I haven't been on for a while...mainly was too depressing as couldn't try to TTC as OH was still away. He's back now and [crosses everything humanly possible] hopefully will have a BFP in the next 2 weeks! I'm only at DPO3 but already symptom spotting (or as my friend pointed out...when I do it at work its just procrastination!!!)

So...any other symptom spotetrs out there??

Ahoy there!! Fellow symptom spotter jumping onboard!!

I am 10 DPO and spend all day thinking about what that twinge was? was that a cramp? Why have I been to the loo so much? Why am I not hungry? And even poking my own boobs on a regular basis to see if they are sore!!

And as you can tell from me posting on here at this time of day...I spend a lot of my working day distracted by such things!!!

And despite being only 10DPO have already tested 3 times!!

Glad someone else is as mad as me...I went to visit my OH while he was away...timed things beautifully but to no avail...anyway...I must have done at least 3 tests by DPO 10...even when I was spotting I was trying to convince myself that it could be implantation. These pregnancy hormones do strange things to us!!![tongue in cheeck]

If only they were pregnancy hormones!!! I've already spent a fortune on tests...cant afford for this to go on much longer!!

I'm still getting to know my cycle cos I've just come off the contraceptive implant...on which I never had AF so I can even differenciate between AF symptoms...it is all causing DP to become extremely irritated!!

should have said can't deiiferentiate!! oooops!

Hi! I'm symptom spotting too!! Even though many people may think I don't need to but I'm worried and feeling a bit(!) paranoid!....
Not had AF since missed mc 16th April spotted at 12 week scan. Had 4 BFPs so why can't I just accept it???!! Have been to GP and have scan booked for Wednesday. Just want someone to give me a guarantee and obviously no one can. There are 4 possibilities: i) I'm pregnant and everything's fine ii) I'm pregnant but everything's NOT fine iii) The missed mc was a molar pregnancy or iv) the ERPC wasn't complete.
I'm really sorry to seem so negative when having a BFP is positive but I just can't seem to allow myself to think that.
I don't seem to be able to recognise any typical symptoms. Just like you Emma, I keep poking my boobs, checking my knickers, etc.... Why does my head keep spinning???!!
Am I being really silly or is it reasonable to believe that there may still be something wrong?
Sorry - I feel like I've just gone on a complete rant but it's just all the thoughts going round my head and I guess that will probably continue until Wednesday and maybe even beyond

Whoops - has my rant just silenced this thread or what???!!

Sorry Ses, been out on the town and have a few minutes before must collect DS from in-laws.
Sorry to hear about missed MC, and can fully understand your need to keep checking!!

Your scan is really soon though, then you'll be able to relax and enjoy rest of pg!

Good luck with scan...

I just updated my fertility frind data and its moved my ov day...not good! I had quite a high temp this morning but that may have been all the alcohol from last night...anyway, if new ov date is correct then there is no chance of BFP in 10 days time...I might take out that temp and see what it does to the chart

Lying to myself...definately a symptom

Hey Ses It's good to have a rant!! 4 BFPs is good...but completely understand why you don't want to let yourself believe it though. On the up side...Wednesday isn't too long to wait!! Although I've said I won't test again till Wednesday and it does feel a pretty long way away!

I have got some serious aches sort of inside my right hip...I am adding that to my list!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying the sun!!

Thanks Emma. Let's hope Wed has good news for both of us!

I will not test til Wednesday, I will not test til Wednesday, I will not test til Wednesday!!

This is hard!! I ordered a couple of first response and they arrived this morning...it's just too much temptation!!!

It does get v tempting! I've been at work all day and that's been good for keeping my mind off things bu now I'm home I think my head is going to explode with all the different thoughts and potential scenarios running round my head! 44 hrs til scan!!

Everything crossed for both you and me, Emma!

Oh gosh Ses...counting the hours!!! Im just telling myself one more morning not to test!! I found myself putting off going to the loo when i got up in case I broke and decided to test...but I didn't!!

But I felt really sick yesterday afternoon...and a bit this morning. And I slept from as soon as I got in last night straight through to this morning!! And we all know whatthat translates to in a symptom spotters mind...MS and early pregnancy fatigue!

Indeed it does - and could well be!

Make sure you log on once you've tested tomorrow! My scan's not til 2.40pm but I'll be around on mn in the morning!

Oh my goodness...I'm so excited for you both...desperate to test but no point until weekend...argh. You must be getting really excited about your scan tomorrow. I remember the emotions when I had my first scan with DS. It was at 7 weeks because I'd had bleeding and there was this tiny bean which was puslating where his heart was growing...I got them to plug in the speakers so I could hear his heart...only thing more amazing was him being born! I want another!!!
I have felt gassey and swollen all day and am v tired but thats probably beacuse I ate too much yesterday and boy woke me up at 0500!!!

More worried than excited to be honest. Still not really believing that I'm pregnant again and keep torturing myself thinking up other explanations. Keep going back to when we found out about missed mc at previous scan when at 12 weeks they told us the baby had died at 6 weeks. At least if I am pregnant, this is a really early scan.

To top it all off DH has had to go to Spain with work this evening and not back til Thurs night! I knew when I booked the scan and he understands that I just want to know sooner rather than later what's going on. I have a really good friend coming with me instead.

Chilled - how old is ds? When is your AF due?

OMG! Just read a post on a miscarriage thread where someone still had +ve pg test 6 weeks after missed mc! She just had to wait for her hormones to settle down, have 1st AF post mc and then try again. My head is spinning! Although I keep trying to tell myself it's unlikely that I'm pregnant I don't know how I'll cope if the news tomorrow is that I'm not pg....

Hey Ses Just over 16 hours to go!! I have got everything crossed for you! Glad to hear you've got a good friend coming with you in DHs absence...I await confirmation of your good news...hope you can make me

I've got the first response test on my bedside table ready for FMU!! I'm pretty sure it will be BFN but have already scheduled in a retest in my mind for Monday!!

Awww Chilled can just imagine hering babys heart beat...gave me butterflies!!! If I get a BFN I will rejoin you in the wait!!

Let's hope we can both be Emma! I guess at least I should get a definite answer tomorrow.... Do you think you'd be able to wait til Monday to retest??? (Not that I want to put expensive ideas in your head!!)

Haha!! Well I already broke and tested when I got in tonight...but had been drinking LOADS of water and been to the loo like 10 times which is not good...so unsurprisingly it was a BFN!! It was a cheap test, decided to save expensive one for tomorrow!! But i can seriously see myself testing over the weekend, if not before!! I think I've got a serious addiction!!!

I sooo won't be able to sleep tonight!

Hope you manage to get a good nights sleep tonight! It will probably feel like the longest morning tomorrow...and I would say try not to worry...but we know exactly where you'd like to stick that advice!!!!

You sounded so strong!!! What happened to "I will not test until Wednesday!" and "have scheduled retest in my mind for Monday"???!!! Nice to know you're just as addicted to testing as the rest of us! I'm going to do another one tomorrow morning just to make sure levels haven't dropped and I'm still scared of all this being a huge let down tomorrow at the scan!

Funnily enough, one thing I have always managed to stick to is testing FMU so let's see what you get tomorrow morning!

Sleep well!

Well...it was a BFN for me but on the up side that leaves way more baby dust for you Ses!!

That re-test on monday is now a definate...if TEW doesn't show her face before then!

Oh no Emma - I'm sorry. I guess it is still possible for you cos I think you said your cycles are still all over the place afterimplant. Re-test Monday seems a good plan.

Chilled - when are you going to test?

I'm still sitting in bed with laptop trying to waste the morning away. Friend is taking me to lunch before scan - just hope I'll have an appetite!

Ahhh...my favourite way to kill time...laptop in bed! So jealous, I'm in work and stressed out already!!

Ses have you tested again this morning?

Chilled When are you planning to test?

I have tested again and got another BFP. Still worried tho so didn't really achieve anything. Actually just worked it our and ERPC was 8 weeks ago today... O be still my mixed up head!!

Anyway no work for me today - got to work Saturday instead

Saturday? Thats sucks!! But if your BFP is confirmed this aft then I'm sure you won't mind!!

If you got another BFP that is a good sign...you just chill in bed this morning and enjoy your lunch!!

Sorry to ask a silly question...what is ERPC?
