Calling all symptom spotters!

[Smashley25]

Love, I'm really sorry to hear that. . Maybe it's still just implantatation bleeding

 

[Bmama]

I'm also sorry to hear that Love, but like Ashley said it could be implantation bleeding! I've got my fx for u hun!

Stitchfan- that is toooo weird my left eye has been nagging me all day!! The headache feels concentrated behind it and come and goes, seems to get better after I eat or drink. I have read that headaches and gas are symptoms (fertility friend measures these symptoms on my chart as possibly pregnant symptoms) but then again it seems every little thing is a symptom so I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I find lighting candles all over the house helps with the gas, or blaming it on my poor fur baby

When I talk to my mum about being pregnant she says it was wonderful and she loved being pregnant and had little to no symptoms, but my grandmother says she had horrible morning sickness with all her children and knew right away that her body was changing. Fortunately or unfortunately for me I take after my grandmother, so it'll be interesting to see who I end up taking after when I get preggo

Hi Jodie welcome!!! Of course you can join the more the merrier I have never been pregnant so can't give much insight into what that feels like, but I'm also having different symptoms from my regular PMS ones. I have my FX for you and am sending your way! Are you going to test before the 7th (that's when my AF is due too!) or hold out until the weekend?

Also, anyone having serious pinching in the lower abs? Mine is more toward the left side of my very lower ab but it hurts to bend over and when I sit down! I just started noticing it this evening...At this point i'm worried if i'm not pregnant WTH this could be?? I guess I have to wait it out.

 

[babydoll30]

Aww thanks
Im only new on this so still figuring it out.
I will hold out till the weekend for a more accurate reading
Have you tested yet?
I've had the pinching on the left side,it's more like butterflies though,feels very strange

 

[StitchFan]

Welcome welcome!

I know it's not really related... but I'm being harassed by my husbands crazy exgirlfriend (it's so sad... its' been going on for years) and I have been getting lots of magazines that I haven't subscribed for in the mail. But I do think it's kinda funny that all of the magazines she decides to sign me up for are parenting and mommy magazines so little does she know, I like it!

Had to share my two cents of just getting home from work and finding two 'working mother' and a 'parenting' magazine

butterflies sounds like a good symptom! I haven't tested yet, but you will all know the MINUTE i'm even thinking of POAS I am still planning on surprising OH if I end up with a

I would totally take this as a sign!!! At least there are positives to being harassed by crazy ex girlfriends! Let us know if you learn anything related to pregnancy symptoms in there

 

[StitchFan]

Deal! I will start hunting for some right now

 

[babydoll30]

is it a good sign?..
it will be great to hear if you are pregnant fingers and toes crossed for u
i would have to tell the boyfriend straight away,i couldn't hold that in
My boyfriends nephew is 2 weeks old today,i was holding him and i got sick,it came out of nowhere :O i managed to swallow most of it as i got such a shock but some sick came out and landed on his baby gro :/ was very embarrassing with his mam looking at me strangely and asking if im pregnant

 

[Bmama]

LOL I hate to laugh babydoll but that picture cracked me up!!! Kudos to you for holding it in and choking it down, it sounds like youll be a great mom my poor children are screwed I'd probably have left my lunch on them!

I haven't held a baby that tiny in ages but everytime I see one it makes me want our own that much more. And it's so great to see the OH with Little ones. Must be a primal instinct!

 

[babydoll30]

Oh i laughed after the redness in my cheeks went down.
It didn't taste too nice either :/
She offered me a preg test because she thinks i am preg,i should have took it
Im so use to babies getting sick on me as im a childcare worker, I thought it was only fair to return the favor ha ha im joking.
Yeah it would make you want a baby even more when you see the happiness in mothers eyes when there holding there bundles of joy, so nice to see even though we are TTC

 

[StitchFan]

Oh I can only imagine how good it feels. Everytime I go to Disneyland and I'm more interested in the adorable little babies faces than anything else. Though I must admit, some of the moms are quite violent with their strollers.

 

[babydoll30]

Stitchfan that's why i said its so nice to see.
It makes me so angry when i see mothers or fathers being so horrible to there children! there is so many woman TTC and it doesn't happen especially when you now you will be the best mother possible

 

[Bmama]

Oh I totally agree!!! I have been in fit lately because my younger 19 year old brother "accidentally" got his girlfriend pregnant, AFTER he told our dad he doesn't want to be an old parent like ours. Here I am trying to be responsible and marry my soulmate first before producing but he just goes and beats me to the punch. I'm not saying he'll be a bad parent or his Girlfriend would be but they don't understand how it's frustrating for us when we have been waiting to try to get our finances in order and are now trying and want to be parents more than anything. Sorry for venting, I have been am emotional wreck during this TWW! I sound like such a brat thanks for listening ladies

 

[babydoll30]

You are not venting. It would naturally be very frustrating for anyone TTC especially when it "accidentally" happens so easy for someone you know!!
I would be the exact same as you. It will happen for you soon enough and you wont be able to think about anything else

 

[StitchFan]

So weird!!! I was thinking about this on my way home tonight. It's so strange how you focus on not getting pregnant for so long, and then when you want to, it's so hard! After looking up all this stuff and exactly how small the window for conceiving is, I'm shocked at how many people accidentally get pregnant. Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair.

Thank You! Lots of Baby Dust to you too!
I've noticed that we've both WTT for two years! I've been trying since October (early days) but would LOVE a positive! Were you also on the pill? Have you found that your cycles are quite regular since coming off BC? My first cycle was 28 days, so hoping that my body's bounced back to normal!

I had the nexplanon implant put in after my chemical in 2010. Had it taken out 24th Sept 2012.
My cycles have been 35-40 days, and before that they were regular 28days. My doctor did say this could happen, and they'd slowly go back to 28days for me, and the drug leaves the system within a week of it being removed!

GL and FX for you! x

 

[mamawanabe21]

Stitch I have a temp of 97.8F in my post-o chart. Trouble with just doing one off temps, is you don't see what is normal for you, and any patterns. I wouldn't pay attention to your temp, and wait until your next cycle if you don't get your bfp and chart from CD1 It also sounds like the headaches you and bella are describing are hormone related migraines, which are a good sign for pregnancy!!
As for those magazines...anything interesting in them? Symptoms?

Bella I sure hope it's a I hear any line is a sign of pregnancy, no matter how faint, but I took another ic, and its stark white this morning. Going back out to buy a clear response to see if I still get a line. Getting a lot of crampy pain, and stitch like feeling when I twist funny, or pull myself up by my abdo muscles. Mum says this is normal. We'll see!
Thank you for looking at my chart, hun. Not sure if I'm in shock, but I still don't believe I am! Going to be taking loads more tests!! If you do decide to test early, please don't get disheartened like I did with an early bfp! Sounds like you've got the implantation dip FX for you hun. Really excited for all of you!

Ashley You might have a dodgy thermometer. Is it a proper BBT one? (2 decimal places) and did you test with a FRER? If you can get hold of a CLEAR response they're super sensitive to HCG and are only £1 over here for 2...I don't know what that is over there, but could be more accurate than IC's. I still keep getting negs on ic's but not on CLEAR response.

Love I'm sorry to hear that hun. There's always next cycle! It could be old blood if you implanted 10dpo, especially as it's brown hun. You're not out until AF comes properly!

Jodie Welcome hun! for you. Those sound like super positive symptoms! Especially the dreams and thirst! I had the pinching on the right side, and got a very faint bfp. I'm hoping this is a sign I can tell you ladies is true to pregnancy.
I actually laughed at you being sick on a baby! This is an absolutely positive sign! How exciting!!


Bella I'm the only girl in my family, and I so desperately want to be the first to have a baby! I don't think you sound like a spoilt brat - I think you sound like me! haha!
