More symptoms?

courtneyttc5683 · December 2011

I feel like I am getting my hopes too high, can someone tell me an experience that they had when ttc? I am feeling really nauseous after I eat, as well as in the morning when I wake up. I wake up in the middle of night with heartburn. I also have been very bloated, and my boobs hurt so bad! My face is breaking out and I feel tired after doing almost nothing, and have been getting really light headed and having headaches frequently. I have also had frequent urination going on! I have never had any of these symptoms before af before. Anyone have any thoughts or help??

If you're pregnant enough for symptoms, you're pregnant enough for a test. Pee on a stick.

Personally, TTC has been a total mindfkuc for me. If I paid attention to every "symptom" I would go insane. I know it's frustrating, sorry.

They're either phantom symptoms, or you're pregnant. No one on here can tell you which.

Take a test in the morning, and if you don't get AF in a week, take another. If you get to 60 days with no AF, call your doctor.

Welcome to TTC, it's a mindfuck.

You got good advice yesterday which isn't going to change today.

When I first started ttc, I had tons of symptoms, but I wasn't pregnant. I was suddenly hyper-aware of any potential symptom in a way I'd never been before.

In fact, my most successful pregnancies had fewer symptoms before my period was due than any other ttc cycle that was non-pregnant.

If you have enough pregnancy hormone to be creating symptoms, you have enough to test positive on a home pregnancy test. But honest to god, most women do not experience all these symptoms in early pregnancy (and I mean early; many women have few to no symptoms until after 6 weeks)- maybe you are pregnant, but more likely, you're just looking for things that seem out of the ordinary.

Go take a test. That's the only thing that can tell you if you are pregnant.

Don't be sorry haha. It is very frustrating, I am scared that I am going to take a test and get a negative and be super let down! It has definitely been a mindfuck for me too!

Thanks a lot! How long have you been trying?

Exactly.

OP for what it's worth I have had the same symptoms you have listed and I have yet to get pregnant. The only way to know for sure one way or the other is to take a pregnancy test.

Ok, we've been lying, we can tell if you're pregnant by the descriptions of your symptoms. Just squash your vag up to the webcam and we'll take a peek around to confirm.
