Stupid pregnancy symptoms ?
I feel like a newb back in 1st trimester or something, but did any of you have pregnancy symptoms BEFORE your BFP? I did with Claire, and now I could swear I'm pregnant. And if I'm not, then I really need to go to the doctor. :-/
I've been having cramping ever since my last post about ovulation pain...which was Monday. I think I O'd on Sunday or Monday, and we DTD both days. I had really bad cramping this morning around 5, and I was afraid I'd have to skip work because of it. So now I'm getting all kinds of fantom symptoms--fatigue, crazy hunger, crankiness...
I'm crazy, right? Someone tell me it's way too early to tell and I just need to stop thinking about it until I miss my period. But like I said, if I'm not pregnant, then I should probably see my doctor about these cramps.

Symptoms with Andrew - sore boobs
Symptoms with baby2 - cramping for about a week (I think, or longer) and I swear AF was going to show up at any second, yet never did. Ryan also said I went to bed early twice that week, although I didn't realize or think anything of that.
We conceived Isabella during our second cycle of TTC. I swear, I just knew, like I could feel it in my bones. No real symptoms, but I did get this odd, sharp, quick pain in my leg during the night. It woke me up from a dead sleep and happened two nights in a row. It had never happened to me before and I don't know why, but I immediately thought I was pregnant the first time, the next night I was 100% convinced.
My only other clue was that I didn't have any cramps in the days leading up to what should have been CD1. I tested the day AF was supposed to arrive and got my BFP. I even only took the one test, because I just knew it was right.
There are lots of times I could swear I was pregnant and it's just AF symptoms (and it would have had to have been immaculate conception lol).
With Rowan I knew I was pregnant because I had to pee like a race horse before I took my BFP. Everyone said that symptom wouldn't happen until later on but low and behold, I was!
Symptoms w/BC-Sore boobs, dizziness, my face broke out, oh and I had cramping too.
I got a BFN and then a BFP a week later.
I'll add that I've never had AF symptoms (aside from cramps 30 min before AF showed) or o-pain, so to me, those symptoms were really weird.
And I'm also using the bathroom a lot too....but I haven't increased my fluids at all. I dunno. These all seem to be the symptoms I had with Claire (I'm just cramping a lot more), so if my face breaks out soon I'll have to pee on a stick. ;-)
I was just going to say, it's proably too early for AF symptoms...well hopefully...hopefully not in your head...and hopefully a BFP soon...
I had symptoms pre-BFP both times.
With Maya my sense of smell went through the roof before I even got my BFP. From across the room I could smell the yogurt that Shawn was eating and I had to run to the bathroom to throw up. I didn't get my BFP for a few more days. So lovely morning sickness started at like 3.5 weeks pg and kept up until 2nd tri.
With Lewie I told Shawn that I was pregnant while we were lying on the couch watching TV and he thought I was nuts but I felt exactly the same way (I mean, it hadn't been that long so I remembered exactly what that kind of nausea felt like!) and got my BFP that night. Turns out that I was only like 4w at that point once we got dated at my 7w u/s.
Sorry you are feeling crappy!
Yeah, I was starting to wonder if the earlier cramps were in my head, but it definitely woke me up this morning from the pain. I was in the fetal position trying to make them go away.
