Seems to me that sore bbs and tiredness r the only reliable symptoms ...

[TrixieLox]

Looking on here and other boards, and talking to friends and family, on average, sore or tingling bbs, IB and tiredness are the most often cited symptoms when a gal reports a BFP. Symptoms like cramps, increased CM, nausea and so on, unless reported with sore bbs and tiredness, rarely seem to end up with a BFP.

Do u agree with that or am I being a bit negative?

I haven't got sore bbs this month, and the only tiredness I had was as a result of the flu being in my body late last week. So I think the signs are suggesting I won't get my BFP.

If I get my AF this week, then I'll wait for my bbs to start tingling then I'll know that a BFP might be awaiting me ...

I tend to agree too...but it is different for a lot of people.

I don't remember having sore boobs before I missed AF but it's true for me that I was absolutely exhausted before AF (also I was constantly hungry before AF too).

I had both sore breasts and extreme fatigue, but I also got sore breasts before AF as well, so that wasn't an indication to me.

You know I think it is just to hard to determine a symptom of pregnancy. My boobs hurt sometimes after ovulation and sometimes before my period. I am tired a lot of the time from school, work and 2 puppies, so that doesn't help. I get cramping around ovulation for days and sometimes I get it for a whole week before my period. I have a crazzy sence of smell naturally and I am always hungry. I also have an overactive bladder so peeing alot is normal. So I can't take any symptom seriously I think I have decided that I should just wait until a week after my period is supposed to be here because according to my doctor about 50% of fertilized eggs don't continue on when it hits 10-12 days after fertilization and if you test a week after your supposed to get your period and get a positive then your in a pretty safe zone when it comes to an early misscarriage. The percent lowers lowers a lot at that time.

I know what you mean Trixie! I am always awaiting that oh-so-talked-about sore bbs! As mine never get sore (for AF) or anything! Then i think...well maybe it is too early? i know some people don't get symptoms till later, but sure enough comes and visits me every month lol. *sigh* i still have time yet for this cycle...so maybe i'll get that popular tingly bbs, if not though, i'll be pretty pessimistic about my chances as well

it's not over for you yet though, not until comes, so keep your chin up not everyone gets signs or symptoms, or they are different than the norm and you may not have noticed

I've never had sore bb's when i've been pregnant, i think everyon'e symptoms are different what might be common for some won't for others

its real hard honey.... this month i was 20 days late.. with extreme fatigue, hunger... and my breasts, esp my nipples were sore 2 to 3 days after missing my period..... and today am bleeding like helll..... so u really don't know........

Its all in the GAME.... Don't know when GOD will smile at us!!!!

When I was pregnant for the first time, I had very sore bbs, and was knackered , fell asleep on the sofa at 3pm most days! OH would come in from work and wake me up!

At 3DPO I fell asleep at 8.50 last night as I could not keep my eyes open. My hopes pricked up. Then I realised I was only 3 DPO and so there is no chance whatsoever that it could be a sign. Then I also realised it was Monday! This TTC lark is just annoying in that every single boobache and shutting eyelid is “a sign.” Why on Earth were we made so that 2 weeks was what we had to wait in order to see if we were successful or not?

This is so reassuring for me.

Us ladies have such varied symptoms when O or AF is due.

We must try our hardness not to read too much into our symptoms (easier said then done).

I agree, they do seem to be the most common early symptoms.
