Did anybody google ideas on how to announce to your husband on Christmas? Asking for a friend.

This thread is just the best.  I don't think I have ever loved you guys more.  

Dilynne

You guys. Keep in mind I didn't track temps this month and literally BD ONCE this cycle... I just googled if the "hyperpigmentation" under my chin could be a pregnancy sign. It's a zit. I know it's a zit.  Why am I doing this to myself. 

ChefRamsay

"Facial hair growth and early pregnancy sign". Because it has nothing to do with the fact I'm an adult human and therefore grow hair, the same random chin hair that I've had since I was a teenager.

I actually googled if I was more likely to conceive because I was ovulating on a full moon then proceeded to research a bunch of white moon cycle theories. Also, I googled of vomiting 2 dpo was a sign of pregnancy. I still don't know why I got sick but I do know it's outrageous think it would be pregnancy related at 2 dpo.

BertieMeetsGertie

Ok, yes, A LOT of these are just plain crazy. HOWEVER, for all of these symptoms, you'll find all kinds of (crazy) ladies on other forums saying "OMG, a random chin hair was my first sign!! FX for you!" Crazy bitches just putting logs on the fire. 
Sorry @ChefRamsay I had to use your example!

@BertieMeetsGertie Also, most of the things we've seen here are actual things that happen to people when they are actually pregnant (although maybe not 2 DPO or while AF is making her entrance). So it's super easy to get a big ol' mind f**k the second you start down the Google hole.

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

Spoiler: it's not.

... but... are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure you are totally wrong. 

Also... it's still there.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree. However, a lot of these symptoms don't appear until a few weeks, or more, after a BFP.

Today I googled "ovulate twice during same cycle" because I am a crazy person and what if my false surge was a real surge and my new surge is also a real surge? Then I found this and now I really feel the BSC coming on: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1126506/

I read this and thought, what if ovulating twice in a cycle is enough to sustain my luteal phase and get pregnant?!?!?!?! This could be my cycle! Enter the rabbit hole of babycenter posts. 

Smh @ self. 

ColoradoHiker

I started SS on countdown to pregnancy today.  I'm slightly ashamed, but not too much.  I fell down the rabbit hole, and I'm not sure I'll make it back out.

@ColoradoHiker @adirat Step away from the Google!! Lol

adirat

More bsc -- today I went to costco with my parents and bought huge, costco-sized packs of tampons and overnight pads to try and jinx myself.  If I can jinx myself into a bfp I'll take it.

ChefRamsay

@adirat That's why I always buy the big bottle of liquor...

hartmich

@adirat @cheframsay that i the only reason why I bought VIP for FF. 

ChefRamsay

@hartmich I'm a little ashamed right now. I hadn't that of that and my first reaction was ohhh that's a good idea! Smh @ myself 

lulu1180

@adirat @ChefRamsay I did the same thing as @hartmich, I wish it has actually worked though!

jess0211

Just googled "car sickness " because I would totally be having symptoms this early. It couldn't just be that I have been in the car for more than 12 hrs the last two days and that I am starving. Bad, bad, bad Jess. 

dragonfly87-2

Went off the deep end this morning and googled "blue veins on hands and boobs."  Got mixed results and it's unlikely related.

For some reason, my veins are popping out of the tops of my hands and I look like I have a serious health condition. Not helping with the SS this month. 

Also, can't decide if my lower back pain is a true "body ache" or from sitting in strange positions...

bluejeanbabi05

So...have we decided whether eye twitching is a symptom? Maybe at 5dpo?

Asking for a friend....

dragonfly87-2

Out of boredom and BSC-ness, I searched for "knee pain," "joint pain" and "neck pain."

Of course these aren't TTC related...and are likely due to biking around hilly San Francisco all day. 

spiderlover25

And I just searched extra CM and EWCM caused by a cold to try to satisfy by BSC 6 DPO self... even though I have previous cycles with extra CM during the TWW.  

cactusblossum

While TTA last month, I convinced myself that I definitely double ovulated and ended up with the same article as @adirat to fuel the crazy. And then i tested. Spoiler: it was negative. 

haylsbayls-2

I googled "ovulating while you have a cold increase chances of conceiving" and of course I came across a bunch of BabyCenter people claiming that your lowered immunity stops "killing the sperm" so your chances of getting KU are higher.


Is it terrible that it raised my hopes?!!!?

spiderlover25

@haylsbayls I will jump on that hope train with you because I had a cold this month too!

jess0211

Not a google search but BSC nonetheless...did one of those dumb fb quizzes "Can we guess at what age you'll have your first child based on this dessert quiz" or some nonesense like that.  36. I got 36. I turn 35 in a little over a month so ya'all know where my head is at now. Have I crossed over to the dark side now?

bluejeanbabi05

DH had a cold I'm on the train with all of you!

haylsbayls-2

I love this thread so I'm reviving it. Today I googled "WHY AM I NOT PREGNANT?" in all caps hoping google would see the urgency in my question and give me a better answer

love1229

I googled "3 dpo carsick am I pregnant" today. Shame on me

bluejeanbabi05

@haylsbayls what did the interwebz tell you?

I just googled "what's the earliest that implantation can happen" because I've been really emotional all day and that HAS to be an implantation sign.

spoiler alert: it's not.

jess0211

@haylsbayls thank you for reviving this because I totally googled "sneezing and early pregnancy symptom" today...because my sneezing couldn't be due to the dust from construction in my office bldg.  

50Wife

@haylsbayls I've been sick for days and just got my positive ovulation test. Sounds like this is my month! Thanks babycenter 

haylsbayls-2

@bluejeanbabi05 google didn't take me any more seriously than all the other times I've asked it. It gave me a whole list of possible reasons.

lulu1180

@haylsbayls To Google...

flashley-2

I considered taking a picture of my friends browser history for everyone's entertainment but decided against it as it would be super embarrassing for my friend. 

lund

@FLAshley just blur our any personal info

katiegeminimoon

This morning I googled "pee color and pregnancy". I'm sure my off color pee is not because I spent yesterday in the car and drank almost no water all day *eye roll*

VLillyV

*sigh* 
Bent down to get bottled water, saw stars."Is seeing stars an early symptom of pregnancy?" On to have DH say he has it happen all the time. 
*sigh*

boniface

@ktcakes87 is it embarrassing that I wondered about this in the morning.

sbarluccico

Monthly: 'can you have a period and be KU?' in at least three languages 
(please don't kick me off the board!) ;-)
