Stiff neck.. Symptom??

[JemRose]

I promised I wouldn't symptom spot and I genuinely wasn't symptom spotting when I googled stiff painful neck and shoulders... well surprise, surprise a LOT of posts came up re. stiff necks and getting BFP etc.

So, I'm due AF on Saturday / Sunday, no idea what DPO as I took a break this month from OPK which I'm now regretting lol - I have barely no symptoms of impending AF or in fact pregnancy (too early anyway I'm assuming).

Only changes I have are, extreme exhaustion; Monday I had the day off work and literally slept all day which I never do unless I'm ill, but I'm not ill! I never have bad skin, yet the past couple of days I have the worst spots ever, my face is covered and now suddenly as of about 3pm today I have such a stiff neck, painful and tender to touch on my shoulders.

Now, I'm trying so hard to ignore things this month. But google being google, came up with pregnancy results and now I'm symptom spotting!!

Has anyone had any experience of a stiff neck and BFP?

Haven't experienced a bfp at all but I have read about it and I've heard from quite a few ladies that they have experienced this before missing a period. FX for you xxx

 

[JemRose]

I haven't experienced one either! Feel like I'm blind to this whole thing and no idea what to expect if I ever do get a BFP.

But this is definitely something different and something I'm not able to ignore! Thank you, I have FX too xx

Unfortunately I'm having a similar frustrating situation. Also didn't OPK this month as we were on holiday so can't be sure how many dpo I am either. I'm guessing 9/10 dpo and I also don't get symptoms prior to AF.

Today I've had an odd sort of discomfort between the shoulder blades but enough that I can't ignore it. Not prone to back/neck problems normally. I really want to shake any hope as in my experience this sort of thing doesn't end well but it's definitely unusual for me.

Fx for you JemRose.

 

[JemRose]

Exactly the same as me!! Hopefully we're both in for luck this month x

For the past 2 days have been getting very light cramping. It's not really painful, just irritating and slightly uncomfortable. I really hope this isn't the witch rearing her ugly head

That's exactly what I was like yesterday. Could barely move my head, felt like I had a neck brace on, neck was just stiff and rigid.

Oh wow congratulations!!!! x

 

[MoominGirl]

Congrats PeanutButter!!

Keeping fingers crossed for you JemRose!!

I'm still having similar odd crampy type symptoms. Trying not to get my hopes up. It's too early for AF but I still don't think I'm pregnant.

 

[JemRose]

Brrrr I am absolutely FREEZING!!!!
I feel cold to my bones and keep getting shivers down my back. My hands and feet are like icicles, I'm wearing a coat and scarf. I literally can't warm up!
The heating is on at work, everybody else is hot. The sun is also shining and bringing in some nice heat, but it's not warming me up at all.

I don't feel ill or like I'm coming down with something.

Same thing happened yesterday too, my hands were freezing but clammy. Today they're just freezing.

I read on Google (stupid Google!!) that this can be to do with hormones and higher BBT that your outside can be more susceptible to the cold because inside is hotter? Or is it because BBT has dropped? I don't have a clue. Anyone know if this could be hormone related, BBT related, pregnancy related or AF related?

 

[MoominGirl]

I'm the last person who should comment on coldness as a symptom as I'm always freezing!! Hope it's a good sign for you.

Today's random symptom - one sore boob. Yes, just one. I'm sure it's just random and means nothing. Really not feeling it this month.

 

[JemRose]

My boobs have just started to hurt. But not unusual before AF. Although last cycle they didn't hurt at all

 

[JemRose]

Looks like it was a symptom after all BFP today!
