Symptoms Before the BFP Happened!

[EqualBananas]

Hmmm..no, it was a little higher than that for me. I do hope it's a good sign for both of us though! And I definitely hope it's not my O day on cd28.

Please keep me posted, fingers are crossed for you!

I think this is the kind of thread o have been searching for. This is going to get long and I apologize for that but this is what I have been going through the last four weeks. My last normal period was in December. I had a lighter period that lasted the normal length of time on January 3 but and that one came three days early, my next period came a day early January 30 but only lasted half the amount of time and (sorry TMI coming up) it was only spotting that was noticeable when wiping and only reached the pad one time the whole 'period' and i didn't pass the clot i normally pass each month(sorry TMI). I took a HPT and it was negative and i thought that would be the end of it like it has been in the past...usually if i take a test and its a BFN i move on and all symptoms just disappear but this time they stayed and new ones joined in. I worry i want it so bad i have fooled my brain and my body. I have listed my symptoms but believe me i will probably miss some.
I had been having site boobs for over a week before my Jan 3 period and i never get sore breasts. Now i can bump one the slightest and i feel like i am being carved like a pumpkin. And when i lay down at night the pain is so bad i want to cry.
I get stitch cramps and stabbing sensations in my vaginal area (TMI).
I have had a heightened sense of smell. My emotions turn on a dime.
I have a general feeling of pregnancy which i had with both my children but it's been a while (they are 17 & 10)
I have been turning down alcohol and I don't get a chance to have a beer often and its a treat so to have drink once in a while.
I have been gassy but in my experience, my gas pains don't normally tickle.
I keep dreaming about being pregnant, lactating and new children my life.
I keep thinking "it's a girl". (just for fun did the gender prediction thing and it too said I was going to have a girl if I did indeed get pregnant when I believe I may have. I was certain of the genders of both my children before pregnancy was even confirmed and I never wavered on what I thought mo matter what anyone said and I was correct on both counts.
I used to be able to pull in my abs and flatten my belly but now I can't and even physically pull up my belly because there is a slight bulge there and its not hard hard but definitely not mushy either.
I keep getting nauseas when I don't even feel hungry and other times I feel like my whole stomach might just cave in on itself I am so ravished (even when I haven't gone very long since my last meal).
Last night I had to pee five times in an hour and I only had one cup of coffee after dinner.
The other night I dreamt I found out I was pregnant but in the same dream I dreamt I woke up and thought it was a dream but someone I don't know told me I really was and the proof was in the kitchen. I went in and found prenatal pills and then when I really did wake up I thought I was pregnant and then remembered it was a dream. I was disappointed to say the least.
I have areas on my abdomen that feels bruised and i double over sometimes.
I should have ovulated on Feb 13 but have not had my usual ovulating symptoms and no CM noticed by me. I usually get a hyped up libido but other than my usual sexual interest nothing special (I'm normally jumping my fiance when O'ing.
Constipation and diarrhea
Backache, lightheadedness, dizziness
Cramping that almost feels like labor...i never get menstrual or ovulating cramps. It could be gas but it hurts like heck.
Itching all over.
I think that covers it for now but ill remember more as soon as I post. LOL

No, I meant in previous months. I always would symptom spot, then the month when I had no symptoms and af didn't come, I got my BFP.
It was soooooooo weird.
