Fake Symptoms

[tabbicles]

Last month I was convinced I was pregnant. Had sore boobs,swollen nipples felt sick, felt tired, felt bloated like there was a rock in my tummy, had metalic taste and to top it all off af was late,but did come 5 days after expected and after 5 negative tests.
How cruel is that?!?!
Is this a case of mind over matter and wanting it so much that my body created symptoms?

Our bodies can be so cruel. I think I was better off not knowing all the symptoms because now I see them all.

There's also possibility it was early pregnancy loss. With loss that early AF just comes late.

Hi tabs - I had exactly the same prob last month - was nearly 2 weeks late and it's really messed with my head. I don't know if it was all in my head, mind over matter or another early loss. At least it's less painful with that element of doubt, but I'd only just worked up the courage to TTC after 6 month break. Also now I have no idea where my cycle is or what I'm doing - I'm a bloody mess!!! I had 2 MMCs last year and a chemical the year before

hmmm yes all could be possible. I miscarried last September and as I got pregnant straight away 1st time round I assumed it would be the same this time round!
I am going to try and forget symtom spotting next month but it's very hard not to in that 2ww

Could've been an early loss even with a BFN....

 

[tabbicles]

I just find it wierd to have all those symptoms yet negative tests but yes an early loss is a possibility. Still as you didnt know for sure not point being upset.

my m/c happened natuarlly exactly at 12 weeks although it died earlier. Ever since then my body has never gone back to normal, my boobs still the shape they were when pregnant which really annoys me as I hoped that would be a gievaway sign that I was preggers again!! Fingers crossed for this month ey????

Mine did that, too! I'm annoyed! I'm sorry you have to endure it, too!

(Mine kept leaking for two months after, too... I just wanted to scream! Thankfully they've finally stopped...)

All this month I have been thinking about it, and I don't know which happened first: if thinking about it caused the symptoms, or the symptoms happened and then I started thinking about it. I don't really believe that I am, every time I have thought I might be since the M/C, I haven't been and then I've been disappointed (even though I'm not TTC).

This month I've had sore boobs, I had spotting I believe a couple days after when I should have ovulated, been tired, and also getting frequent sudden headaches (like I did when I was pregnant before). So I don't know. Either way I can't stop thinking about it, but I don't want to bring on "false" symptoms!!

 

[tabbicles]

It is horrible!! I honestly think if you want something so much and always think about it your body gets tricked into it. Just like my body thought I was still pregnant for 5 weeks after my baby had died and started growing a bump

[tabbicles]
