Calling all symptom spotters!

[mamawanabe21]

So...just went to get in the shower and noticed that my boobs have suddenly got blue veins on them, going to my nips. Is this a symptom? Anyone else get this? xx

 

[Smashley25]

Very exciting, mamawanabe! Sounds like you might have an implantation dip, plus I know prominent veins in bbs is a symptom! Very excited for you.

I don't really have any fun symptoms. Kinda gassy but not sure if its more than usual and I'm cranky but I couldn't fall asleep last night so I'm tired. It's still early though.

 

[Love0709]

Your symptoms sound good! I don't temp but isn't a one day dip good?

I'm thinking I'll hold off testing until 12dpo. We'll see if I can stay strong! Haha. Trying not to spot symptoms and not poas? That's a lot.

I honestly have deemed myself preggo almost every month due to my body doing something "different" than normal, to the point where DH said last month that nothing is normal and suggested I try taking a break from it. I think he's right. My body is all over the map before AF! It's so annoying. Fx for you ladies! I think this thread is going to be lucky!

I'll try my hardest not to tell him, but no doubt I'll end up blabbing over dinner or something haha!!
I love your idea! That is sooo sweet! You should so do it that way! How exciting!
I don't think your cold would have ruined your chances, or the medicines I'm worried about being on antibiotics...I have just been prescribed them today...my dentist told me they were okay for pregnant women, but I still feel awful putting a possible poison in my system
We'll get through it. There's always next month - thats what I keep telling myself! May I ask how long you've been TTC?

"Anything Good is worth waiting for. Anything Great is worth working for."

You should be okay with antibiotics! Most of the common ones are safe to use during pregnancy, and I've heard it's better to have a healthy mommy than a virus in the body. This is only our first cycle TTC, so there is definitely next month! We've been NTNP since we got engaged in the summer, but now with wedding day closing in we want to get started on our family. How about you hun? and all the other ladies?

to you all!

 

[Bmama]

Can I join you ladies?! I'm trying not to symptom spot but I'm around the same dpi as you all. I'm about 7dpo. I *could* be a little further along but my digital OPK and CBFM gave different o dates. The OPK was positive on Sunday evening and the monitor didn't detect peak until Tuesday morning. I'm not sure which is more accurate, so I'm using the day after my second peak as 1dpo. I feel really good about this month! I honestly think I'll be wrapping up the "I love daddy" onesie to open soon!

I recently read someone had a crib set up in a room with the HPT and a shirt inside and directed their DH to go see what the dog had done in that room. I don't have a crib, but we have a second hand bassinet someone had given us, so I thought if DH is at work when I test, I could do that too not too sure though! If he's home I think I'll just give him the gift wrapped onesie and show him the HPT once he's opened the gift.

Welcome
It's great that you feel good this month. I have all my FX crossed for you!!
When are you planning to test?
Also, that is such a friggin cute idea! I love it!! I can't steal it though, as we're not buying any baby stuff until I'm at least 16 weeks along. But if I had a crib, I would totally do that!!



I have a new 'symptom' today; a temp drop! It's fallen to below my coverline, and I feel a kind of fluttery feeling in my lower tum. Is this AF threatening me at only 7/8dpo?!?! Still have a ton of creamy cm though. Eeek. So annoyed. Guess I could be out for this month ladies!


to you all

oooh I just saw your post about the temp dip!!! Super strong implantation sign! Have you spotted at all? If your temp rises again tomorrow get ready to take that HPT test! FX for you!! My temp dipped right to my cover line today so I'm not sure if that would even count as an implantation dip?

 

[mamawanabe21]

Smashley - being gassy and sleep troubles are all possible positive signs But they're also typical tww symptoms. Our bodies can be so annoying, huh? I wish there was a way to know straight away! And I suppose it could be an implantation dip, but it dropped below my coverline, and I heard that the dip was a myth.

Love0709 - I told myself that I wasn't going to SS. I have driven OH to the brink of insanity, which is why I've made this post, because I can't help but to. At least I know if I haven't conceived this time, all the symptoms I'm getting aren't 'pregnancy' for me lol.

Bmama - I've been waiting since March 2010. I had lost a pregnancy, and it almost destroyed me. OH said that we shouldn't be trying because I was told I was infertile, but 2 1/2 years later I'd manage to convince OH and Dr that it was worth it. Now officially been TTC since Sept. I've got this good feeling that I CAN do this naturally
And yeah could be a ID but I haven't had any spotting We'll have to wait and see if my temp comes back up. It's right below the cover line...but I guess our bodies don't know there's a coverline... lol. I dunno, I just know I'm going tww stir crazy Think, just because I can, I'll start testing tomorrow morning since my tests arrived today

I'm so sorry about your loss hun. We are all here for you! And I believe it will happen for you naturally just let nature take its course, and be relaxed. Drs sometimes think they know whats best, but we are the ones who really know our bodies best, and if you feel you can do it you will! I'll keep you & all the ladies in my prayers for bfps!

 

[Smashley25]

Mamawanabe-I definitely know people with id that turned out to get their bfp so I don't think it's a myth but its also not a for sure thing as I know of others who had it and had bfn. Nonetheless, I think all your symptoms are promising!

Bmama-sounds like you might have an id too!

Love-good luck this month! I really hope it turns out to be a lucky thread!

I'm personally feeling kinda out. :/. I don't have any symptoms and so far today, no cramping and my creamy cm has gone away too. :/. Feeling pretty bummed as I was feeling so good about it the past two days. I guess 4-6 dpo was too early for implantation cramps anyway.
*sigh *. Guess we'll see

Awh thank you. I'm such an emotional wreck - that almost made me cry!
And, I don't know if this is good, but I've just gone to the toilet and (tmi) I've got a timy amount of pink spotting in my underwear - implantation bleed, perhaps? The niggles have been there all day, sometimes pretty strong, on the right side. FX.

As I've had some light pink cm/spotting, I'm feeling a little more positive! Awh hun, keep us posted. FX for you. It's still early. You can have absolutely no symptoms at all and be pregnant still Sending you lots of sticky xx

 

[Smashley25]

That's so great, mamawanabe! I definitely think this is your month! Hoping its just early for me. It's been kind of a bad day at work too so I'm all sorts of bummed. Gonna have to go home and eat some ice cream!

 

[KLC2013]

So I'm right there. I'm only a couple days past ovulation but I'm having symptoms I've never had before. I can't drink any dr pepper without lots of nausea and that's very strange for me. Plus I'm having pains on my right side. My bbs are also very sensitive. I can't even walk without them screaming at me. Plus for the first time in years I woke up last night to pee and I hadn't drank much before bed. I hope this is my month but I know symptom spotting can be horrible. . .

hehe no one is more emotional than a pregnant woman! Also sounds like you have some implantation bleeding to go along with the preggo hormones :happy dance: I also had a (tmi) teeny tiny brown spot when I wiped, which was preceded by sharp cramps in my lower pelvic area. I am still feeling crampy as I type! AF isn't due for another week so I don't know what's up with me. Staying hopeful but not too hopefull.

Smashley- they say sometimes when you are feeling the most out is the month you end up catching that egg, and a lot of women don't' have any symptoms! you might be in for a Christmas How many days dpo are you? to you!

 

[Smashley25]

Very exciting, bmama! Sounds like we might have another bfp in a few days!

Thanks-I'm either 6 or 7 dpo and I wouldn't be too concerned normally, but I had a lot of symptoms that seem to have all disappeared today. No more cramping or creamy cm. :/

ooh maybe you implanted already?? I had a horrible cramp that sent me running to the bathroom, but nothing happened. It lasted for a couple minutes, then vanished. Probably my body telling me to go to bed and stop SS!

AF isn't due until Dec 7/8 so I'm going to try and hold out until testing then....but if I get any more crazy "symptoms" I will break before then!! I will keep you posted!! How are you feeling hun?? How many days dpo are you now?

 

[Smashley25]

Well, I'm feeling a little more optimistic. I keep having little twinges here and there in my lower abdomen so fx that's a good sign! I keep having the weird bitter taste as well though I'm not sure if I'm imagining it since I notice it more when I think about it. And my cm has changed as well. More wet and its white/yellow, kind of lumpy and blobby and stretches a little, like maybe half an inch. Anyone else have this?

 

[mamawanabe21]

Oh I deffo feel that this is a lucky post! I feel all of you lovely ladies are having such positive symptoms I cant help but feel so optimistic for you all. I'm looking forward to hearing all your new symptoms, and cant wait to share mine with you! Oh dear, getting emotional again! Moving on...

smashley, thats good news! It is still eay after all, but the pinches sound promising!!

So the mum knows I'm in the tww....we went shopping today and I came over really dizzy amd started shaking. She looked at me and said "you're prrgnant." to which I responded "I hope so!" ... turns out I'm rubish at keeping secrets lol. On the plus side, it meant I could undo my jeans because they were hurting me...even though they aren't tight!
Temp raised back up to post-O region again, and had a tiny bit spotting too.

If I'm not pregnant this month, my uterus has A LOT of explaining to do lol. xx

 

[Smashley25]

Mamawanabe, I'd be willing to bet money that you're going to get that bfp in the next couple of days! So excited for you!

Everyone has such good symptoms as well! Plus it seems like a lot of people in other threads are getting bfps, more than usual! Maybe the holiday season is an extra lucky time!

You ladies have such great signs I can't help but be optimistic for us all!!! It has been known that this is the most wonderful time of the year

Mamawannabe- that's great you could share the news with mum!! Over Thanksgiving my mum & I talked a lot about babies and she gave me her advice from the medic field (she's a nurse), but I didn't tell her we are TTC this month, but she kept hinting at grand babies. oh parents! if it's not one thing they pest us about it's another, but luckily I don't mind this kind of pesting from mum

I am 8dpo and woke up at 5:30 to pee & noticed cramps, took my temp and to my surprise it dropped below cover line! Just need it to rise tomorrow & until I test for that BFP! Hoping it's an implantation dip but don't want to psyche myself out. Tonight we are going to babysit our nephews which I'm looking forward to- they are 7 and 9. We have no more babies in either my fiancé or my family, so everyone is waiting for us! FX this is our month ladies!

This might be TMI, but ever since I O'd my OH has been wanting to have sex ilke a rabbit! I mean we have a great sex life, but it's usually ME initiating it It actually hurt this morning so I'm wondering WTH that's all about....anyone else having this "problem"?

More wet and its white/yellow, kind of lumpy and blobby and stretches a little, like maybe half an inch. Anyone else have this?

sounds like a little babino is trying to get comfortable in there!! My CM dried up a bit yesterday, but when I check it it's (sorry tmi) white and small lumpy, kind of sticky. But then again like I was saying my OH & I have been going at it more than usual so I'm not going to rely on what my CM looks like ATM

How are you ladies feeling today otherwise? I'm good other than feeling kind of tired and mildly crampy. to us all for Christmas BFPS!
