Symptom spotting alert- can my stuffy nose be a sign?

Most likely I have a cold!!! But stuffy nose and ears started fri night and still here. Not got worse and not got into head and snot is clear not green (tmi!!!!). Googled and some websites say ten per cent of women have stuffy nose as early pg symptom. I'm about 7dpo today. Anyway probably a cold. Repeat after me: symptom spotting is for losers.

Oooooooooooo - I've got a really stuffy nose as well. And I'm about 8dpo. Fingers crossed we're both pg and not coming down with swine flu

Yes. I had rotten sinuses for the first 3 months. I think it was catarrh that caused my morning sickness!

yellowflowers · 30/03/2010 14:41

oooh here's hoping. did a cheapie test this am and got bfn but really think I am probs only 8dpo (I think I was wrong on last post on how many dpo I am - this month is a bit skewwhiff and as I start iui next month decided to have a month of temping this month).

Try and hold off until AF due at least if you still get that sodding BFN you wont have the... well its too early it was always going to be.

Its such a horrible feeling

Hang on in

thanks cozie. I actually thought there was no chance this month because dh was on business trip bang in middle of my usual 30 day cycle with a day 16 ovulation but this month oddly while he was away there was no ewcm and he got back on the Sunday so we had sex then and then on the Tues which was day 18 I got ewcm so we did it again then. So I went form having no hope about this month at all and almost relishing a month off the wondering pre iui to now symptom spotting again. Genuinely is probably just the beginnings of a cold though (though it's not materialised - maybe I've fought it off).

NO have hope!!!!!

Last month we 'did it' ten times in the fertile window and this month - TWO because he had tests for spermcounts and had to hold off for 3 days each time before his specimen!

AND NOW we are here!

When is AF due now babe?

Ooooh there's hope - congrats Cozie

I don't really feel like I've got a cold but I am so bunged up and snotty it's quite revolting.

I'm testing on Friday (when AF is due) and keeping fingers, toes and everything else crossed.

When are you testing again yellowflowers? Will keep some toes crossed for you too

Cozie · 30/03/2010 15:00

Thank you Bicnod.

This month because we only had sex twice, i automatically scrapped the month off

''if we didnt catch last month and we did it ten times, what chance we got with these two'

Lo and behold....

My breast are sore from Ovulation and then stop two days before AF, AF cramps normally arrive a day before...

it wasnt until yesterday i thought - AHHHHHH MY PERIOD SHOULD BE HERE TODAY, its not and my breast are still sore...

Perhaps i was less pressured because id scrapped the month off as a no, perhaps more relaxed.

It was certainly much nicer than that TWO WEEK WAIT.

Its so hard trying to wait for testing day and not to think about the ifs and maybes and then the bfn we get when we test to early .

Anyway im getting to the bit to see if you have any AF symptoms early before its arrival or if its all quite on the western front.

congrats cozie - that is fab news.

I am going to test on Sunday or Mon I think. Boobs a bit sore but no more than usual. Have felt a little sick the last two evenings but both were when I was travelling home on buses so think the stuffy nose is also making me a bit travel sick. No symptoms other than that.

Both times now i have been preg i have had no symtoms before AF was due, so in my mind the quiter the safer you are that is not going to arrive

I knew I was pg both times due to my bunged up nose. Hope you all get BFP's!

Hi Everyone, so I stopped taking my pill three weeks ago, last had unprotected sex two weeks ago. I’ve been having mild cramps with no bleeding and usually after I miss even 1 day of the pill I bleed straight away. I’ve also got a stuffy nose and really bad lower abdominal pain and lower back pain which I’ve heard can be a symptom of implantation. I have no appetite for food yet crave diet irn bru. Have a gut feeling I’m pregnant but also not sure as my periods are so irregular from the pill but I would have usually bled by now, not sure when to test but the symptoms sound like early pregnancy.
