BSC Syptom Google Searches

lee^2

Since my most recent Google search history asks if a twitching nose is an early pregnancy symptom (Seriously, self? A twitching nose?) I thought this could be a funny thread.

For those of us BSC symptom spotters what is the most ridiculous thing you have googled to see if it possibly could be a sign you are KTFU?

This morning I asked google if knee pain was a symptom  

jess0211

I onced asked google if EYELID TWITCHING was a symptom. It couldn't have possibly been just because I was you know, tired.

I asked if hair loss was a symptom of early pregnncy. Turns out its a symptom when you keep your long hair in a bunch and don't wash it for 3 days. Go figure.

swimsister

I once Googled if fast fingernail growth was a symptom. 

stephann85

I once asked Google if sneezing was a symptom. I'm sure it had nothing to do allergy season.

Remember how I said in the You're know you're TTC when.... thread about googling excessive blinking an early pregnancy sign? Yeah, I wasn't trying to be funny, I really did Google that.

I've googled a magic 8 ball program to ask it if I'm pregnant... 

lund

..... I've actually taken the "Am I Pregnant" quiz at the bottom of TB page........ 

Sugargirl1019

Hahaha friends and I googled if a red spot on the underside of the breast was a pregnancy symptom

Spoiler: it's not.

Over the summer I googled if my persistent cough could be pregnancy.  I had pneumonia.

@lund me too. (hanging my head in shame)

I googled implantation bleeding my first cycle of NTNP. Turns out I was just spotting randomly at 7dpo but I was convinced it was implantation bleeding

wannabeamongoose

@BusinessWife Just last cycle I took one of those implantation bleeding quizzes. The whole time I legitimately thought "Nailing it. Totes preggers." Because, you know, it's totally logical that spotting for several days in a row starting on CD19 would absolutely only be implantation bleeding and definitely not AF.

ETA - it was CD 29 (not 19) which makes my idiocy even more obvious

@jess0211 what's interesting is that all my search for twitching nose came up with was a bunch of pregnant ladies saying their eyelids were twitching. That of course gave me false hope because, you know, noses are close to eyelids so I must be KU. 

Also I get twinging and pulling in my abdomen every. single. TWW. Clearly it's just a part of PMS. But every damn time I get it I get all excited and think it must be a sign. The first few cycles I googled pinching and pulling each time it came around. Then I realized I wasn't finding any new info. I haven't googled for that specifically these past few cycles but I sure do still get excited every time I have a twinge. I can't help it. Oh same with sore nipples and boobs. I know it's part of PMS. I know it's going to happen every time. But for some reason the BSC irrational person in me overpowers and every time my boob aches I'm convinced I'm KU.

 I just googled if a fever at 4DPO is a sign of pregnancy. 

flashley-2

I have googled possible pregnancy before ovulation.

Oh god that sounds horribly pathetic. 

ChefRamsay

@FLAshley

lee^2

Last cycle I googled getting a period after implantation. Because you know it wasn't possible that it was just regular AF and I wasn't KTFU 

ChefRamsay

I love everything about this thread.

flashley-2

@ChefRamsay I knowwwww. Worst part is the only place it took me was babycenter.

ChefRamsay

@FLAshley lol I'm not at all surprised

TW Loss mentioned:

Oh I can't tell you how BSC I went last cycle. I put a lot of things in FF and it said I was in the range for very likely being pregnant. But I kept getting negative tests so I was pissed at FF. Turns out I was pregnant but it was a CP/MC.

But I googled the following symptoms, not sure how many were actually related in the end: 

• Sinus Infection
• Insomnia
• Ringing in ear
• Funny taste when eating candied fruits
• Dry, cracking hands
• Red skin on nose/rash on cheek
• Dogs acting weird around me and following me around (more than usual)

I even googled the likeliness of implantation occurring past 12 DPO.

I googled carpal tunnel syndrome....

hahaha these are awesome ladies

So I'm in the WTO group and am currently Googling things that might be good for fertility - but I hope it's okay that I join in! 

I'm Canadian, and one of the east coast things that I love (I have family from there) is dulse, a type of seaweed. Of course, I wanted to convince DH why I should be paying a premium for some random seaweed because of the nostalgia value - so Dr. Google helped me out by telling me it was good for my fertility! I love being right, but internally I might have hit a low point haha

mrsvp614

It's not a symptom, but after licking dozens of envelopes for Christmas cards, and it being the TWW, I just freaked out about possibly ingesting toxic envelope glue while pregnant. 

flashley-2

@Sailing_Mama I have to say I'm Canadian as well and this summer I tried dulse for the first time and it was disgusting ! I don't know how you eat it !

purplg8r

I felt nauseous last night so I googled when was too early for symptoms.  Still feeling it now so googled some more

Just got a text from my bff that she is also nauseous so we're positive it must be food poisoning from something we both ate last night. 

doula-mama

@FLAshley Fair - I feel like it's something that you have strong feelings about one way or another, no one thinks it's just okay! I grew up with it though, which I think is the only reason I like it... and now I have an excuse, since Dr. Google said it was really good for me

Basherbaby

Just this morning I googled if night sweats could be a sign of implantation. Followed by early implantation at 5 dpo. It wouldn't be so bad but google likes to feed into the BSC
. 

jpearl2307

So much shame, but I have googled if you can tell you're pregnant 2 days after conceiving 

stephann85

I once Googled if hiccups were a sign of ovulation... 

In my defense I did have hiccups around O, 2 cycles in a row.

Me every cycle while I was temping...

BFP chart after temp drop

...cue 3 hour chart stalk on google images 

midsomervillage

I googled to see if wanting to BD was a symptom.  I figured out it's actually my own symptom of PMS.

I also googled if having low temps was a symptom, despite reading that usually temps go up during pregnancy.

What really gets me is that I spent a lot of time and research googling doctors and midwives and hospitals etc when we first started to try.  I guess it can still be useful later but I feel rather idiotic for jumping the gun.

adirat

I had an MRI on cd6 after a very heavy period and googled at least 5 times whether the MRI could tell me I was pregnant. You know because 6 day heavy AF = possibly pregnant.
