TTC#2 at 38

 Hi Ladies, I've been lurking for a while and wanted to say "Hi".  Also, I'm wondering if anyone has gone through something similar...I'm TTC # 2 for 6-mos.  This month I had awful nausea symptoms starting at 9dpo.  I was convinced I was pregnant.  On 12dpo (yesterday), I had started bleeding.  It seemed like spotting yesterday, and I thought it was implantation bleeding but it continues today.  So, duh, this is my period.  But, am I going crazy?  I did not make up this nausea symptom for several days?!?  Is it possible something just went wrong?  Anyways, I thank you for letting me vent...

Welcome to the board.  I am 37 and TTC#2 as well.  This is cycle 4 for us.

Not sure about your nausea but I do know that I have had phantom symptoms a lot this time around.  They range from spotting to nausea to backaches...SO frustrating!!

 Good luck to you.  I hope your TTC journey for #2 ends soon!

Hi, jellyfish.  I'm new here too, TTC #1 at 38, and I totaly understand about phantom symptoms.  I'm 3 weeks late and went every symptom this week.  It wasn't until I accepted my 2nd BFN when my symptoms simply evaporated.  Now it looks like AF is about to knock on my door.  It's amazing what the mind can do!

Hi and welcome. 

In answer to your question - anything is possible. But unless you had a positive pregnancy test, I'd chalk it up to phantom symptoms - boo.

You are not crazy.  I get nausea every two week wait.  My body is just sensitive to any hormonal changes.  I always hope that it is something different but spotting turns into bleeding every time.  Hang in there.

Thanks so much for the support ladies!  It really helped.  My phantom symptoms have now disappeared and I'm ready to start a new cycle...GL to all this month.

Hi there!  Just wanted to say good luck to you as well - I am a newbie & same age and TTC #2 also.  I didn't even know there was such a thing as phantom symptoms, but I think that must explain some things that were going on for myself as well.  Thanks for your post!
