Rant - Lack of Symptoms After O

CancunSunsetBride · July 2014

Let me start by saying I know this might sound crazy, but hear me out...

When I got pregnant with DD, I was temping, and I literally started having symptoms of being pregnant 3 days after I ovulated, dead serious. My boobs became sore, which was a first for me, my lower back started to hurt which never happened that early, and I had creamy CM for the first time. Although I waited until 12 DPO to test and confirm I was pregnant, looking back now, I knew I was.

This time around, that experience is messing with my head! I know from following you ladies that having symptoms that early is very uncommon, and doesn't mean anything, ye tI keep finding myself looking for symptoms of being pregnant immediately after FF gives me my crosshairs and it's so frustrating. 7 DPO today and I am feeling not one single symptom and I'm already couting myself out this cycle

Thanks for listening, I guess this post is nothing more than a rant, but I appreciate you all listening!

I would say to check out the Two Week Wait (TWW) daily threads that are on here. That's a great place to vent and share symptoms. Over analyzing your symptoms every cycle will make you go crazy!

You didn't have symptoms of being pregnant at 3dpo, it was the progesterone. You aren't pregnant until 7-10 dpo when the embryo implants.

I understand I'm not a regular poster, but I do my best to check the boards a few times a week and read the posts. Most times I don't feel that I have the same knowledge to share as most other ladies here.

I also understand if that means that I won't receive the same level of support when I do post, but thought this was a good place to vent feelings/frustrations.

Wow - thank you ladies, I never thought about it that way and you're absolutely right. That makes a ton of sense and I would rather hear truthful thoughts - thank you.

My boobs hurt starting the day I ovated this cycle. 2 weeks of breast tenderness sucks! I wish it would end in being pregnant but in reality its just post ovulation progesterone. And ditto all pp in what they said about not having symptoms that early.

I NEVER had PMS symptoms until we started TTC. Obviously that's not a true statement at all, but I certainly never noticed them. I know there were there now, but the first few months of TTC and before really learning about temping and charting and really how the whole process worked, I was convinced I was pregnant and spent probably $100+ on pregnancy tests because my boobs hurt, my back hurt, and I was cramping. I now know that this happens to be every month, it was just never something I noticed before.

You all are so incredibly right, this is why I love this board, just getting others thoughts (and more importantly getting out of your own head) makes such a difference.
