Since my most recent Google search history asks if a twitching nose is an early pregnancy symptom (Seriously, self? A twitching nose?) I thought this could be a funny thread.
For those of us BSC symptom spotters what is the most ridiculous thing you have googled to see if it possibly could be a sign you are KTFU?

Also I get twinging and pulling in my abdomen every. single. TWW. Clearly it's just a part of PMS. But every damn time I get it I get all excited and think it must be a sign. The first few cycles I googled pinching and pulling each time it came around. Then I realized I wasn't finding any new info. I haven't googled for that specifically these past few cycles but I sure do still get excited every time I have a twinge. I can't help it. Oh same with sore nipples and boobs. I know it's part of PMS. I know it's going to happen every time. But for some reason the BSC irrational person in me overpowers and every time my boob aches I'm convinced I'm KU.

Oh I can't tell you how BSC I went last cycle. I put a lot of things in FF and it said I was in the range for very likely being pregnant. But I kept getting negative tests so I was pissed at FF. Turns out I was pregnant but it was a CP/MC.
But I googled the following symptoms, not sure how many were actually related in the end:
- Sinus Infection
- Insomnia
- Ringing in ear
- Funny taste when eating candied fruits
- Dry, cracking hands
- Red skin on nose/rash on cheek
- Dogs acting weird around me and following me around (more than usual)
I even googled the likeliness of implantation occurring past 12 DPO.I'm Canadian, and one of the east coast things that I love (I have family from there) is dulse, a type of seaweed. Of course, I wanted to convince DH why I should be paying a premium for some random seaweed because of the nostalgia value - so Dr. Google helped me out by telling me it was good for my fertility! I love being right, but internally I might have hit a low point haha

Just got a text from my bff that she is also nauseous so we're positive it must be food poisoning from something we both ate last night.
.
In my defense I did have hiccups around O, 2 cycles in a row.

BFP chart after temp drop
...cue 3 hour chart stalk on google images
I also googled if having low temps was a symptom, despite reading that usually temps go up during pregnancy.
What really gets me is that I spent a lot of time and research googling doctors and midwives and hospitals etc when we first started to try. I guess it can still be useful later but I feel rather idiotic for jumping the gun.
