Ridiculous Symptom Spotting... come on... you know you do...

[millymoo1234]

OK, so since TTC I've thought (or wondered briefly) the following might be signs of being pregnant...

funny rash on my legs - still don't know what this was
three spots on my forehead - I was convinced this was a hormone induced 'breakout' as I don't normally get spots)
General bad mood - turns out I'm just grumpy
crazy dreams
needing a wee
not needing a wee
not liking the smell of coconut - weird
feeling very weepy and sore boobs - hmmm... this could have just been PMS!
stuffy nose

This month I have a massive craving for Mango which I'm normally indifferent to - I am of course CONVINCED that it's my month...

Am desperately trying to hold out till next weekend to test... I need distractions! anyone else had any funny symptoms and wondered if it could be a SIGN?

pleas join in the madness and let me know I'm not the only one! xxx

hm well still no AF for me weird sicky feeling in my throat is back too, no idea what that is! Haha but if i'm not pg i'm definitely trying that line out next month knittakid i don't know now when i should do a test, cause i'm not sure how long my cycle is really. Think i'll try and last till the weekend.. Maybe..

Ooh, TGG it sounds promising! I'm holding out till Saturday if I get that far - maybe we should be keeping each other sane (and away from Boots!) until then?

oh that sounds good! I could do with someone to tell me no, i go past boots pretty much every day and it's so tempting i even try to justify it... "just think of all the points i'll get!" well i solemnly swear to stay away from the hpts until saturday if you will!

Hi

I'm trying to hold out till Saturday too, I am on CD 29... ave cycle is 28 days.

No sign of AF.

I have sore boobs and felt sickly last night. I've also been very hungry I have been snacking a lot

I'm busy for the next few days (I'm going to the safari park today with DP and DS who is 3), then meeting some family for a picnic tomorrow. I must stay away from POAS till Saturday... I would hate to test too early and get a -ve and then later be +ve.

TDG and Decaf will you be testing Sat morning then? Have you managed to steer clear of HTP for now?
How is everyone else this glorious sunny morning?

Morning all!

Ginger its been a journey i will tell you! Im more chilled - not as much urgency for a baby, but i know if i stopped ttc the urgency would rush back like it does everytime ive come off the pill and the next month gone back on which surely cant be good for your body.

I get in bed at night and lie all snuggly on my tummy and think being able to sleep that way is also something else to be grateful for as are the couple of really decent nights sleep ive had. I will always find the positives!

Hi everyone - I'm new to this board, but this thread just made me cry laughing!

I would like to add :

having a negative pregnancy test - because you ARE pregnant you just tested 'much too early'.......at like, 4 days after ovulation....

fairybubbles i will be testing on saturday! So far i've managed to control myself. If you want to hold off till sat too we can make a POAS pact i don't really have any symptoms today.. It sucks. Is it bad that i'm desperate to throw up over the desk? :S haha saltyair you will fit in well here! (sorry about the lack of paragraphs by the way, i'm on my phone and going down to a new line is apparently far beyond its abilities)

perhaps 'no symptoms' is the new symptoms

i think i love you already

Hi ladies, temps up ever so slightly again this morning and have managed to resist the lure of the local chemist as been at the park with DS all day. If temp goes down tomorrow then it'll be game over but if not I'll be buying the obligitory HPT for Sat first thing. I really, really hope that this is it...

xx

proud of you! I've resisted too, although the pregnant woman walking out of boots as i was walking past made it extremely difficult but i managed. Was so convinced af was coming earlier though, i felt the same as i normally do just before it shows up, but so far nothing. I'm a bit nervous about it showing up at some point tonight though :S got absolutely everything crossed for you decafgirl

Right back at you DiceGirl

Off to see sex and the city 2 tonight so there's another 2 hours I can use to avoid prodding my boobs thinking about it! xx

Sounds promising decaf

The lure of 'no symptoms' as a symptom has drawn me into this thread.

10dpo. No symptoms. POAS this morning. Surprise surprise BFN. Was extremely crampy at 6dpo. But nada since then.

Oh I've been EXTREMELY irritable and over emotional the past couple of days. That could be a sign?

And have bought more HPTs with which to test with over the next few days as I seem to have broken some sort of POAS damn with this morning's test.

Ah! Boo for BFNs digi, hope it was just too early for you. Do you think you can hold out till Saturday? x

Apparently it depends how you say it:
in bed very tired: nope.
wearing black lace: yeap.

I'm now on DPO7 (not sure how acurate that is) and the weird taste that I imagined on DPO4, was exactley that - my imagination!

However, I have been very grumpy, snappy, emotional & tired since Monday (have put myself to bed early every night for fear of causing an argument)

I've also had cramps for the last couple of days that have got worse today!

Boobs feel slightly heavier and lumpier, but nothing to get really excited about.

Finally, my skin has broken out into lots of little rash like pimples on my cheeks, where as I would normally get the one annoying zit!!!

Fingers crossed!

that sucks digitalgirl hopefully it was just a bit early! Ah i see, well if wearing black lacy stuff = lots of bd'ing then i'll give that one a shout. IfAtFirst - those are pretty good sounding symptoms! If they're not all just in your head you may be on to a winner well i've made it to cd30 now with no af.. I have a feeling that if it isn't my month then it'll turn up in the next 24 hours. Today's been a bit shit for symptom spotting though, not much to report, apart from a bit more cm than usual, but i don't know how cm is meant to look if you're pg.

Ladies,I'm on the verge of cracking - I'm 13dpo today and instead of going down my temp has gone up again to 36.60. Am sat here hanging on to fmu trying to convince dh to go to our local shop but he's stalling because all the staff know us!!

Gah! He went and brought back a cb which I hate and am gutted as I got a bfn. If temp doesn't drop tomorrow I'll test again but it looks like I'm out this month.

Boohiss to Bfns decaf. If it's any consolation I really don't feel at all pregnant either and we timed it so well this cycle. Swi almost every day in the week leading up to ov. Even had sex twice on the day I got a positive opk. Will blame dh for having lazy sperm if we're unlucky (which makes a change from blaming myself and my shy eggs).

I'm being ridiculous because I still feel like I'm in with a chance because of my temps... I'll just have to see what tomorrow brings. x

I really fancied toast and marmite for breakfast this morning.... sounds like a food crazing, no?? oh yeah...I have that most days...

dearie me...is being unable to type also a symptom...

I meant craving, obviously.... and there were meant to be italics too...

decafgirl - I'm really sorry but people do say that you should wait till 14DPO do get the most accurate result.. maybe you just don't have high enough hcg levels yet? Some people don't show positive for ages. You never know. Still have everything crossed for you just incase

digitalgirl - I don't feel particularly pregnant right now either, i did feel a bit weird before but the last couple of days I've just felt normal, with the exception of maybe feeling like AF is due. That's why I'm now going for the "no symptoms" sign

saltyair - at this rate you're going to come up with a whole new symptom book! But ugh at toast and marmite ...Although I might start convincing myself I'm craving it now.

I'm now tempted to hold out even further than saturday before testing, if AF doesn't get in first. I hate seeing negative results so I may try and get through the weekend, and test on monday.

*also, silly question but I have never had it so I can't judge very well, I read that heartburn can be a pregnancy symptom, but can it just be in the throat? Cause looking it up I think that's what the sort of sicky sensation in my throat could be as it did burn a bit. But I don't know if it's possible to just have it in the throat and not the chest or anything?
