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

Just dawned on me that i'm testing tomorrow.. I'm actually nervous!

Fingers crossed!! You've demonstrated extreme will power I would say!!

Any "symptoms"

nope, nothing new anyway.. But i've been so busy in work today that i haven't actually been thinking about it for once! Any updates?

light headed nausea in waves, all day. And sore boobs. Sore, much prodded boobs....

Are you testing first thing??

Do I get points for not testing today?

Am still working out my luteal phase length so am due at some point this week. But Thursday would be 17dpo, which would be the latest my period could turn up. Would be very surprised if it held out that long though.

Have also realised that awful mood swings this week are probably more due to lapsing on the low gi diet. So boringly it looks like I should probably stick to it throughout the cycle as opposed to just the pre-ov phase.

ooh that sounds promising.. Yep i'll be testing first thing! Well actually i'll have to buy the test first but pretty much first thing anyway. You do get points digitalgirl ugh to diets though. I don't have the self control for that.

BFN today. Harrumph! but to be fair my "symptoms" appear to have vanished

Sorry for your bfn Ginger

Am now waiting with baited breath for news from thedicegirl and decaf

Didn't test this morning but feeling very very premenstrual and cervix is low down so I think my period will show up today/tomorrow. Will contemplate testing if nothing by Thursday but I'm convinced that rtd will beat me to it.

I'm trying not to test as still 3-4 days away but I can't help it! I keep looking at the pregnancy test, aarrgghh

Does anyone know any good distraction tactics?

if you know any good distration techniques can you let me know?
i'm 4dpo and have been feeling bloated and gassy but not farty gassy (sorry )more like butterflies/ wibbly wobbly feeling. i usually feel like this for about half a day before af but thats not due for a week and a half. i can sense i'm about to send myself mad by reading into it and not being able to test for ages.
i hear vivid dreams are common too, i had one last night about having an affair with clive owen....i'm not entirely sure that can be read as a sign though.

How about holiday planning as a distraction? Or weekend day-trip planning?

Clive Owen...I had a massive crush on him as a wench....what was the show called..spender, or something?

DiceGirl - hope all was ok this morning?

NinjaChipmunk I've heard that too, happened to me two months ago and was terribly sure it meant BFP... obviously not. This month I have been feeling as if AF was due just after ov, and reading massively into it... sorry you have both symptoms at once, I'd been sooo convinced...
other symptoms: this morning hit my breast by mistake and it actually hurt... sensitivity?

DiceGirl and Decaff, hope to hear your news!

Ladies, I present for your consideration, a headache that I can only describe as 'electricky' My head feels all sparky inside and fuzzy.

And I feel carsicky.

what do we think - all in the mind????

only just got a chance to test and it was bfn i'm so gutted. I'm hoping that the fact that i've drank a lot of water and it's not first morning urine has something to do with it, so i'll test first thing tomorrow, but i think this month isn't the month for me so i will be focusing all my baby dust thoughts of the rest of you!

*onto, not of. Silly phone!

I'm with you TheDiceGirl. I'm on 12DPO and am now AF symptom spotting

Have been naughty and have done a couple of early tests this, the most recent being this afternoon, simply because I had them in the house.

I have been a right bad tempered bitch for the last week which up until the weekend I thought might have been a good thing, more likely it's just PMT
All other syptoms which I imagined up have now dissapeared!

I just wish AF would hurry up and arrive and put me out of my misery!

exactly the same here. If i'm not pg i just wish af would show so i can get on with trying again! Waiting is just pissing me off now. All my so-called symptoms have gone too i think. This month sucks

dicegirl i agree waiting is shit in general. i have 10 days to wait till i can test. it will drive me mad. i'm having trouble concentrating already, god knows what i'll be like next week!

15dpo. No period. BFN on a first response this morning. Had such strong pre-menstrual symptoms yesterday. Now they're gone. Don't know wtf is going on. TheDiceGirl I feel your pain.

Here I my symptoms:
1- Cried twice during Sex And The City 2.
2- Wine didn't taste good - couldn't finish my glass.
3- I don't believe the two tests that gave me BFN.
4- Period started yesterday but stopped today.
5- Really gutted I'm not pregnant while I was convinced I was.
6- I believe in, want, need a miracle.

... Ridiculous symptoms spotting? Me? Oh no, just clutching at straws.

Sorry for all the BFN in this thread. I agree with DiceGirl this is a shite month.

Hey there
totally new to all this anD thank god I found this thread! I thought it was just me! I almost cried with relief when I saw all you posts!
This is only our first month of trying having just got hitched - its so strange you spend half your life trying to avoid getting pregnant and then obsess over trying to!
So my symptoms this month are
Obligitary sore boobs, v tired, podgy tummy, weird tummy pains and cramps,jelly brained, starving - this could be due to self imposed wedding dress starvation diet!!! v grumpy, feeling s sick, super sense of smell, could smell a slightly ripe guy in the office over the other side of the room, and screeched at hubby becasue I could smell the kitchen bin from the hallway oh and craving Sourdough bread, balsamic vinegar and olive oil - again could be due to recent carb free lifestyle?
I thought I sensible enough not to get my hopes up this early I am so not, have to hold my hands up to taking what I suspect to taking a test yesterday way to early in the loo at work - just how scuzzy is that and obviously it was BFN - most of the symptoms I had yesterday have gone today weird...

Hi all,

just a quick post to say still no AF here. I'm now on CD34 of avg 28 day cycle. I don't have any tests and have somehow managed to go without testing so far. I have had the odd longer cycle lasting 35 days so I'm waiting a little longer just to be sure.

Felt a bit queasy yesterday, hungry and sore (.)(.) but thats about it at the moment.

On a positive if I do get a BFP this month I must be almost 5 weeks.

Will be testing on Thursday morning with FMU, I'm working again tomorrow and start early so testing tomorrow it out.

Will pop back on later when DS asleep.. welcome to all the newbies on this thread, and good luck TTC.

still no AF at CD29. But AF could be imminent. No real symptoms for last couple of days except extreme hunger (typical pre-AF for me). Trying not to test again until CD32

ooh fairybubbles that sounds v promising!
