Calling all symptom spotters!

[Tesh23]

Hi Secondnote

I don't even think I even fight it anymore. I have just not bought any proper pregnancy tests tho cos it works out way expensive, so I think as long as we've got a good stash of internet cheapies it really helps!

I find peeing on a stick calms me and makes me less anxious even if its bfn! I am so used to seeing bfn it doesn't even bother me anymore.

I think knowing something (bfp or bfn) is better than not knowing at all! We are by nature curious creatures after all, so why not! I think it's time we stop feeling bad and embrace. I am sure there is a positive side to peeing on sticks lol

Thanks, Tesh23. Thats definitely a good way to look at it. I guess I should buy some internet cheapies. I used a $1 test today. So I guess I just pretty much peed on a dollar haha.

My first pregnancy we were NTNP so I didn't even test until I was way late and had strong symptoms. I am not used to the whole BFN thing yet. Sigh.

SGP- haha probably tomorrow. I have so many cheap testies that I might as well use them. I've been pretty bloated today and yesterday to the point I look pregnant. Not sure if it's a symptom or just bloated. But I have never been this bloated or for this long. So hoping it's a good sign. What about you??

I wish I had cheapies! I have never bought them- although this is first monah ttc #2 so I will get them next month if I get a BFN this month.
I remember being very bloated when I got my bfp with ds. So that could be a good sign!
Boobs still really sore ( they usually are before af but usually not this bad- but it could be because I am noticing it more)
Exhausted. I fell asleep on the couch at 830 last night and wanted to take a nap when I got home from work but that's impossible with a 2 year old.
Creamy lotion like cm- but this could just be a sign of af coming aND I never paid attention to it before. 😕 probably won't test until Sunday or Monday. AF is supposed to be here this weekend but b6 may lengthen my cycle so I could be "late" without really being late.

Secondnote-
Don't get too frustrated! It is still so early! I know it is hard to see the bfn!

This website has eased some of my anxiety about getting a bfn on 6 dpo.

Sgp- yeah I bought a 50 pack for 10 bucks off amazon. And yeah I swore I was last month caused boobs hurt so bad but damn AF showed up. But I swore they were the sorest EVER. I feel like I just think things are going on lol. Hopefully one day it's not all in my head. Baby fever is killing me! Baby Faust to you! I heard wondfo on Amazon is the best but I didn't know that till after I bought mine lol.

I know exactly what you mean. My boobs hurt so bad but I think it is bc I am more in tune with my body. Usually I just think, "crap, af is on her way" I hate this waiting game!

Oh my word I literally laughed out loud at peed on a dollar haha!

It is hard to see bfns esp when we get so hopeful each month. Whenever I pee on a stick now I expect to see bfn so my expectations aren't too high. So if I ever see those two lines I prob will not believe it!!

Hahaha! Peed on a dollar. Good way to think about it! If I get a BFN I am ordering some of those right away!

 

[SGP517]

When is the next time everyone is gonna test?

 

[Tesh23]

I will be 8 dpo tomorrow so I am gonna start testing with my internet cheapies twice a day from then until af. Or well hopefully bfp

I have around a 12 day luteal phase so that would be about 8 tests in total until expected af next Friday,21 August.

How do you upload a picture from your phone? I wanted to see what you girls thought of a test.

 

[Tesh23]

I haven't posted a pic before, but i think if u're on your phone u need to access the desktop version of bnb and then go to post reply and at the bottom it says 'manage attachments'.

U can choose a file to upload and post. I'm guessing! Worth a shot

 

[Dtrisha]

Probably bfn but I thought I'd see what you girls thought?

 

[Dtrisha]

What do you think?

 

[Tesh23]

Unfortunately I cannot see a line ...

But could be because the image isn't clear enough.

How many dpo are u now? and what sensitivity are the test sticks?

Can u see anything in real life?

 

[mouse_chicky]

Hi ladies! Can I join you? Good luck to everyone!

I'm actually only 2-3 dpo, but my dh is positive I'm preggo, and I already have a lot of symptoms.
-heavy, itchy boobs
-sensitive nipples
-lower back pain
-increased sex drive
-different smelling urine blush:tmi, but it happened with previous pregnancies)
-bloated and gassy

to everyone!

 

[Dtrisha]

I feel like I can but that could just be me. Sorry I tried to get it clear as I could

Don't stress Dtrisha it is still probably too early to tell. I am expecting bfn tomorrow when I test because I already know it will be too early for anything to show. Implantation may not even have happened yet!

It's hard to put off testing early, but if it really upsets u to see bfns, maybe try waiting till about 10 or 11dpo when there's a better chance that implantation may have already happened. I know its frustrating, but thats the tww! It gets to us, whether we've been trying for 1 month or 20 unfortunately!

If u feel up to it and are fine with the possiblility of seeing bfn again try and test again tomorrow.

I am really expecting af this month, really don't think we caught the eggy. But there is always next cycle!

Hi Mousechicky,

They say its usually progesterone that causes symptoms before about 6-7dpo. But I also have similar symptoms to u from 1 dpo - I am pretty sure it's from high progesterone for me personally. from 6-7dpo my symptoms seem to be fading tho.

But I am an ardent believer that some women can indeed experience symptoms of pregnancy from conception. Early pregnancy factor perhaps?

I am trying for #1 so I can't speak from personal experience.

Fingers crossed for u this cycle!
