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

You can get heartburn just in your throat and it does feel a bit sicky. Did you eat anything unusual that might have caused it?

Or, it could be a pregnancy symptom!! When did you say you were holding out until?

Umm not that I know of. I had it first on Tuesday I think and I just had a sunday dinner, so nothing out of the ordinary.

I think the fact I've never had it before is getting my hopes up a lot... I was going to test tomorrow but I am thinking of trying to last till monday now just because AF is less disappointing than BFN, but I don't know

If you can hang on it is prob for the best - testing tomorrow won't make you any more pregnant, now will it?!

That's very true and if AF arrives before then I can use the money I was going to use on a HPT and buy myself pizza and icecream to cure the depression.

Blimey! Are you using gold plated HPTs?? I could probably afford a bag of chips with the money I spend on them

I might have splurged on clearblue the last few times but seeing as they have never given me a positive result I am developing a hatred for them, so I might go for a different one this time. What do you use?

Me? Jees, I'll pee on anything! Supermarket own brand 2 for a fiver usually....If you look at the blurb on the packets, they usually are sensitive to the same level of HCG as the posh ones.

...plus, if it is negative you can always think to yourself 'bah, it's only a cheapo test, what does it know' Oh I'm, kidding, I'm kidding....

I'm really liking your logic I think I may go for the cheap brand this time, just for a change.. and then when it's negative I'll just spend more money on an expensive one

Been there on the cheap vs expensive tests. My bfn yesterday was on a boots basic - not supposed to test till you've missed your period ie not that sensitive. So clearly it is rubbish and wrong. Which is why I immediately went out and got the bogof on first responses.

I've been a right moody cow today. I bloody hope I'm pregnant or I'm in for a right bastard of a period. Sadly I think the latter is more likely.

Right okay so boots basic = crap. But I need to buy it from boots to get points.. Then again if my calculations are right (which I doubt they are) I'm about 17 or 18DPO now so surely it would pick it up by monday if I am?

I've not actually been that moody. Well I lie, last night I was a bitch, but not so much today. Yet. Felt a bit crap though, still got the sort of AF-like pains, but less painful than usual, more of a dull tugging sort of ache. They're on and off though. It's all so confusing...

I splashed out on a couple of first repsonses thinking it would be worth it when i got a bfp...no such luck bfn and the next day started getting discharge which signalled af was on her evil way, why oh why cant i wait for af to appear! Did save the whole is it af is it implantation debate. Tho note to self must ask dh to hide the other first response so im not tempted to use it. I dont know, think it was the fact it can detect up to 6 days early that lured me in, then when bfn you tell yourself its only some people that get a bfp that early. I was convinced i could see a glimmer of a line, dh thought i was mad and indeed i was...am!

Can I join in -

I am 3 days past my average af

I have mild cramps, vague nausea & dizziness, I'm tired

and I have 2 chuffin' BFPs.

Totally confused.

ooops. BFNs

If only it were BFPs!!!!

haha bossy i think we're all mad here i just saw a hpt advert on tv and DP had to hold me down! So lasting till monday isn't looking good. I may compromise with sunday. punchlessjudy that is a bit weird.. Maybe test again in a few days if nothing shows up? It might just be that you don't have enough hcg in your system yet

Aaagghh!!! Temps still very much up this morning so obviously had to POAS again (FR this time) and still BFN. Aaagghh!!!

I was going to test today but didnt get to buy any HPT yesterday and to be honest I could prob hold out til next week now... I'm going to wait till at least Monday, saying that still no sign of AF.

Was v moody yesterday and a bit tearfull. I'm still v hungry all the time... if AF does arrive I will need to do WW for a couple of weeks and lose a few pounds.

Just going to enjoy the good weather and try not to think about it too much..

i was thinking maybe i should start charting temps the other day but now i think i'm glad i don't.. I think it would confuse me even more that really sucks decaf. Yep i'm gonna try my best to hold out till monday too, it'll be cd33 by then so surely it would show up by then if i am.

Bfn too. 12dpo and not feeling like I did in any other my other pregnancies so think I just need to wait for my period now.

Still getting bfns & going bonkers - have just posted a frustrated rant in a new thread.

Quick update - af here. Damn. Wishing you all better luck soon.

what about feeling totally and utterly shite?...

Sorry to hear that PunchlessJudy, at least now you know, unless like me, you secretly hope anyway...

This is driving me utterly crazy.

Hello...... all ok?

Hello....still no AF (or signs/symptoms of it coming) xx

oooohhh....good -oh!!

still nothing yet for me either. Was stupidly emotional last night and felt a bit off earlier but otherwise nothing to report! Aw no punchlessjudy sorry to hear that how is everyone else?x
