Does anyone else obsess over early symptoms?

[cliqmo]

I only joined this forum a few days ago and have learned so much already

However armed with information relating to early symptoms etc I am aware I have become hyper-sensitive to any twinge, cramp or feeling in my body- and if my calculations are right I am only 3dpo!!

The logical part of my brain knows I am being over sensitive and probably willing myself to feel these things, but the emotional side of me can't help being a bit excited/hopeful.

Please someone reassure me that I am not the only one going through this?!

hey

i posted a thread exactly the same as this last week yes i do exactly the same. last week i really thought i had every sign under the sun!! but not so much now, as the time is going on (af is due sunday) im not 'feeling' preggers so i doubt this is my month. so be assured...we are all the same on here it seems xxx

I'm sat at work trying to convince myself that my water is fine and doesn't taste of metal, rofl!!

ahh isnt it annoying! its so easy to obsess over these things isnt it? We are all the same though so dont worry! x

I'm the same. I hate it! I'm disappointed already and the thought of it all being nothing. I was the same last month, but yet am cheating myself in to thinking it's different! I just feel mega conscious of my stomach! lol. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh xx

Yes we are all the same!!!!!! Everytime something feels even a little bit different I rush to google it or look it up in a book!!!! At the moment I am trying not to count how many times I go to the loo cos I'm sure it is making me need to go even more LOL!!!
I've been feeling queasy on and off for the last two days as well so have been wondering! Sure it is nothing but it's very easy to get excited isn't it!

symptoms this month so far:

metal taste 2dpo (the beginning of my 'i am pregnant faze')
spotting 4dpo (can't happen until at least 6dpo - but didn't let me that faze me, oh no!)
nausea at work 5dpo (as mentioned previously, would miraculously disappear as soon as distracted!)
heavy cold 6dpo-8dpo (found it online, a symptom of early pregnancy - i MUST be preggers!!)
sore boobs 6dpo-8dpo (sore mainly because of my constant prodding and squeezing!)
nothing - nothing since and now 11dpo, not a single sign and two BFNs later i am convinced its not my month - next month i am ignoring everything that happens as this time last week i was thinking about baby names lol!! i'm going loopy loooo!!xxxxx

Such a relief to know I'm not alone.

 

[cherelle]

lol positivity i feel your pain!! This last week of waiting is going to be torture! Funny how we are so desperate to have these horrible symptoms .. imagine after a months of being pg we will hate the sore boobs, sickness etc! x

 

[flopsybunny]

I obsess too! I haven't been too bad the last couple of months but after what has happened at the beginning of this month the obsessing has already begun (in the form of plotting how to prep before ov) once I have ov'd I know I will be worse.

Any little 'symptoms' mean I am pregnant, and no symptoms mean I am pregnant too! LOL

ive had tummy ache today - a bit like a dull shooting pain (so hope its not af!) i dont usually get it even around AF so its making me hopefull. Also still got CM - had a lot this last week (sorry tmi!!) which is very abnormal for me. Im hoping and praying!! x

 

[cliqmo]

Today I googled "back ache and cramps in early pregnancy" because I woke up with both and was *delighted* to find these can start early because the uterus is changing to rceive the fertilised egg- I'm so excited!!

 

[cherelle]

good luck cliqmo! x

 

[cliqmo]

good luck cliqmo! x

Eeeeep!!!! Thanks Cherelle!! My rationale brain is arguing that you can find anything you like on google by putting in the key words but my exciteable emotional side is squealing and jumping around clapping my hands

 

[cherelle]

yeah totally - weve all been there! when are you testing? x

 

[cliqmo]

In an effort not to become a total POAS addict I'm going to try and hold out until after AF is due- should be about 26th?! How about you? Do you test more than once before AF is due?

 

[cherelle]

im a total poas addict!!! im not due until sunday but i think ive already done about 4 tests! x

I know that's exactly what I'll end up doing too! Out of interest when is the earliest you can rely on result from a POAS test?
