Dealing with Phantom symptoms.

I'm sure we've all had them at some point. How do you guys deal with them and do you tell your S/O or keep it to yourself? I feel like every month my body is doing something that it's never done before.

I try to keep them to myself. If I tell my hubs he will just get all excited lol. I feel the same way about my body doing all kinds of new things, but I figure it's not really *new* it's just that I'm actually paying attention to what my body is doing now.

I just keep telling myself not to be crazy pants and try to chill it out. You just are really in tune with every little thing your body does when you are ttc

This for me too.

I usually keep them to myself, otherwise DH gets all "OMG, you're def pregnant!".... He does that enough on his own without me adding fuel to the fire

I do my best to ignore them. I don't say anything about them (if I have any) to my husband - there's no point in giving him false hope.

I try to keep the "symptoms" to myself, sometimes its hard though. Like this past month he hugged me and my boobs were so sore that I shrieked when he did, once he found out that my boobs were sore he thought I was KU because I had sore boobies last month with my CP..

I try really hard not to read too much into them. I really don't tell DH about them either. This morning I guess I was acting b!tchy and DH asked me "Geeze you are hormonal are you pregnant?"

I used to drive myself crazy but now that I read the thread a few days ago saying that if you have actual pregnancy symptoms, you should get a positive, I just ignore them as being nothing. this month I actually have none, which makes me curious!

Like Slappy-pooh above, I don't really have/notice phantom symptoms anymore. Early on I just ignored them because I knew they likely meant nothing and that I was probably only noticing them because I was hyper-aware and expectant.

Roseallen112 · December 2012

I've been entering most of them in FF so I can see what comes when but it's so hard to go through these things without telling DH. It's not fair that we go through so much emotionally and hide most of it from them. I do tell some stuff but for some reason I tend to let a lot of it go. grrr to be the stronger of the sexes. lol Big Smile

I lose my mind with phantom symptoms, I do my best not to tell dh because after trying for a year the first time by the end he would just kind of give me an eye roll. LOL which after a year of "Well my boobs are kind of sore." I deserved.

lol me too

hqinmd · December 2012

Me three. I would actually like to go back in time to when I didn't notice every little twinge. I'm not even looking for anything right now, and still can't help but feel things I've never noticed before.
