TWW: Is it me or are these real PG symptoms. I HATE TWW!!

[Blusatin]

I am on TWW and I have been getting some syptoms, but I am not sure whether they are pg symptoms or whether it's all in my head. Maybe you girls can help me.

My bb's were sore 2 days ago (but only slightly) however they feel fine now.
I am in a terrible mood the past couple of days
My cm was extremely dry until today were I noticed some white thick cm
I have been dieting the past month yet I feel extremely bloated and my tummy is sticking out
During the day I don't feel very hungry but at night I want to devour the contents of our fridge!
I pee at least 3 times during the night.

How can we tell whether we are experiencing real symptoms or whether they are psychosomatic, without having to wait for the dreaded ?


Thanx in advance for your helpful comments

I dont think we can until its time but if anyone knows im interested too???

Well, I've looked at sites like https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/

I almost feel like I have the flu without the head cold. But I'm alert! I don't have the brain fog that you get with the flu. My 3 girlfriends are divided. I have 1 yes, 1 no, and one who can't decide if I'm pregnant.

FX'ed for you!

Last cycle I had so many symptoms. Even symptoms like frequent urination and feelings of starvation when I didn't know at the time that they are symptoms so early on. I had major cramps right after an orgasm. I even caught a really weird atypical cold and had my first fever in over 15 years. I was nauseous. Moody to the point where I was sobbing and in the back of my mind thinking "wtf? this is not normal" My electrolysis appointment was wayyy more painful than usual. And even the electrolysis lady commented how I was having pregnancy brain because I couldn't remember the most obvious things (like, what year it is to put on the cheque)

But alas. major PMS symptoms along with a bad cold was all that I had. I can't see my imagination playing tricks on me to that extent, and I read later on that PMS is very much like pregnancy symptoms after coming off BCP, so that was probably all I had.

This time, I'm just going to wait. If it's happening, I'll find out eventually.

Well that's the thing. I woke up today feeling extremely bloated and tired. My stomach feels just as it would if I were about to have AF. My AF is due on the 23rd so it is a little too early for PMS, right?

I fear I may be reading too much into my symptoms and then when AF shows up I'll be super disappointed. Still another 8 days till we find out. FX'd!

Baby dust to you Maddog

hey i'm new to this but i thought i would join up.

I'm on 13dpo AF should arrive on saturday, i'll be super dissapointed if she rears her ugly head, as i've ha so many symptons like bloating, cramps, headache, nausea, tiredness. i tested at 11dpo and got BFN!! i used an early test i had bought of internet. so since then been in two minds as to whether its all in my head!!
will test again on sunday if AF hasnt arrived.

baby dust to you all x x

 

[Blusatin]

Welcome Tullulabelle!! You have come to the right thread when it comes to talk about symptoms that may not be symptoms.

I have always been a firm believer of taking the test the day after AF is due.*It helps save any disappointments if the "magic stick" shows due to pre-mature testing.

FX'd for you and keep us posted on your symptom spotting and results.

Baby Dust to you

i havn't had any spotting yet, but CM been very white and creamy (SORRY!!) it's so frustrating, dnt want to talk to DH about it as i dnt want to get him all excited to then let him down if we get a :BFN:

 

[Blusatin]

Hang in there, not long till Saturday. Sounds like you have the right symptoms for but we'll just have to wait and see.

 

[tullulabelle1]

So happy I can help out in any way I can. I really feel for you, I know how nerve racking this can be. I am on the same boat!

I am testing on the 24th July and although I am feeling surprisingly calm about it, I can't help getting different symptoms every day!

If you need a chat let me know

I've got my FX for you.
I'm trying not to pay too much attention to my symptoms, as I have some every month, then AF comes.
This time, I'm really tired. I went to bed last night at 8pm!
I'm crampy, too.
I really hope it's my month, but I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Every test has been negative.

 

[FutureMommie]

That is the hard thing about the 2ww, AF symptoms can be the same as pg symptoms! Ugggh!

Well I'm 6 dpo today, and so far I've not had as many symptoms as last cycle. Last cycle I had just about every symptom you could have...but wasn't pg...this cycle all I'm having is sharp stabby pains in bbs, and crampy and low dull back ache and now I'm yawning all morning...oh had trouble sleeping for last two nights...I ordered a memory foam mattress topper for my bed, it arrives today...so hopefully that will help my poor achey hips and back...lol I don't really feel like I'm having alot of symptoms...so I don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing...oh wait I have noticed that I'm alot hungrier...going pee a little more than usual but not as much as last cycle....I'm just charting for the first time and that helps me pass the time... good luck ladies! I hope we all get BFPs!
