Signs/Symptoms before testing?

ddelo23

I was wondering if there were any signs or symptoms before you're actually able to find out from a test.  My cycle is really screwy since I went off BC in april, so i'm not really sure how to calculate my cycle yet.  I know the first month was 35 days (which isn't normal for me, even when I wasn't on BC)

I am REALLY really exhausted, and feel like no matter what I eat, I'm still hungry.  I'm wondering if this has anything to do with being prego, or if it's just all in my head...all I want to do is go home and SLEEP!  anyone feel anything before testing day?

The only symptom I had was ginormous boobs, and they were very sore, I mean more so than normal.  Second, i would suggest not using the word prego around here, it makes me hungry for spaghetti!!!

Sorry - I'm no help - but are you charting?

I have all kinds of phantom symptoms right now.  I think most of it is in my head because I hope I'm pregnant. 

You could be KU, or you could be PMSing.  Whichever it is, I hope you get the answer you're hoping for when you POAS.  GL and check fertilityfriend.com tutorials to learn how to chart your cycles.

Are you charting? You can have phantom symptoms that may make you think that you are pregnant but are not.

1. The word 'prego' is not kosher in GP land

2. I can't help you with symptoms since I have never been KU, but I would recommend reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility (great book), and begin charting your cycle. It is such a great tool to learn more about what is really going on with you body.

 GL!

I had hhuge heavy boobs, fell asleep on the couch at 5 pm and was eating every 1.5-2 hours for about 2 days before my BFP. ?However I thought these were just phantom symptoms as they were similar to every other month

I was going to begin charting next month, when I have a better grasp on how many days my cycle is.  I guess it's just wishfull thinking!

note to self: do not use the term prego on GP

It looks like you already have a DS, what type of symptoms did you have with him? Most of us on this board aren't ku yet so can't be much help. GL

I'm super hungry lately (the last 3-4 days) and dry as can be, I'm constantly putting on lotion. I'm yawning through out the day and feel tired by supper time. I should have gotten AF by or before today so I'm not testing until tomorrow morning so I don't know if I'm pregnant yet. Oh and my boobs feel big and they hurt like hell. BUT the last 5 months my brain has done funny things and almost every month I felt something new and odd and just SWORE I must be pregnant only to be greeted by AF on 14DPO

I get phantom symptoms every month - haven't been pregnant yet!

Me too, and they are different every month, so every month I go through "wow this never happened before" just to get AF later.

hi ddelo!

A general rule of thumb is that if you have symptoms, there should be enough hcg in your system for a + pregnancy test.

I didn't really get symptoms until well into my 5th week.

Exactly! Our minds know how to play tricks on us!

I've had some craming & sore boobs the last few days but since I haven't O'd in soooo long, I don't remember if I had any of this before.  Plus it's my 1st cycle on clomid, so I don't know if that could be part of it too.  It's sooo frustrating.  I had a BFN yesterday, so I don't know if these are phantom symptoms or just too early for me to test.

My only symptom was not having any AF symptoms, then a BFP, other than that, nothing! Im still not having any symptoms, just no AF. GL everyone is gonna feel different.

1. I hate the word Prego!

2. I had no sympton until I was 5 weeks. I had implantation cramps but I just thought AF was on her way.

Your best bet is to chart; I had an assumption that I was because my temp didn't drop like it usually did. I tested 3 days early and got 2 BFP's. GL to you!
