Hi, all! I've been a TWW symptom stalker for about a year now (hubby and I have been TTC since February of last year. That makes a year and 3 months now). Every month, I feel like I have all of the symptoms, but nothing ever comes from it. I'm sure that 49% of them are in my head and the other 51% are just plain PMS symptoms. I know that I just need to test, test, test, but thought that I would get some input from you ladies to see if I'm imagining everything this month as well!
A little background: I had a little girl 11/9/05 and a little boy 12/11/09. Both were conceived unexpectedly (isn't that how it goes normally? When you try, it seems like it doesn't want to happen!) My period is pretty regular, I suppose. My cycles range anywhere from 28-30 days, with the odd 32 and 33 day cycle thrown in. The last 2 months were 31 and 34 days. My LMP was May 10th, so that puts me at CD28 today. Not sure about my O date. It tends to be all over the place and I've yet to use an OPK! I suppose that should be my next step. OPKs and temping. I'm assuming that I O'ed between May 25th and May 28th. That would put me at 9-12DPO.
As for symptoms this month, they really hit hard in the last 3 days. I've been beyond fatigued, that is my main symptom. I always get a little tired just before my period, but this is extreme. My eyes stay burning all day and I go to bed at least 2 hours earlier than normal. Napping is out of the question, as I babysit a little girl and have my son at home during the day. Then, I have to pick my daughter and my neighbor's kids up from school at 3. Anyway, I'm rambling. So, extreme fatigue, some cramping every now and then (may be in my head), lightheadedness, dizziness, Montgomery tubercles (have always had one that won't go away, now have 6 on left nipple, and 9 on right. Raised and in full force, as of yesterday morning), some nipple pain (may be from playing with them last night, counting Montgomery glands), irritability (may be from lack of sleep, may be PMS). Breasts are not tender, nor do they feel fuller. No nausea to speak of (not new, did not have morning sickness with either pregnancy previously), appetite comes and goes, bleeding gums when brushing teeth, slight twinges in my right ovary (this is a new symptom that just struck today), after those I had a couple of twinges in my uterus and lower right back.
I know that all of these symptoms point to pregnancy. I also know that MOST of them point to PMS. The Montgomery tubercles really got me excited, though. I've tested with a few Dollar Tree HPTs and all were negative. Bought a 3 pack of FRERs yesterday, took one as soon as I got home (BFN), and then one this morning with FMU (BFN). I'm saving the last one for next Wednesday. If my period hasn't started by then, I should definitely have my BFP. Boyyyy, do I want that BFP!!
I'm really just looking for similar circumstances and positive affirmation!
If you could help me out, that'd be great. Did any of you have any of these symptoms and go on to get a BFP? Or even a BFN?

but I was sadly mistaken. My doctor prescribed Provera 10mg for 10 days - my periods are very painful, and he seemed to think it would help with the IMB. I'm not sure if it's even possible to get a BFP after taking Provera ?? 
... and for mine xx
I've seen way too many in the past year. Unfortunately, I'm a POAS addict lol..so we'll see how long I can hold off testing
