What's your REALEST RPS?
| Sun, 10-19-2008 - 1:23pm |
RPS = "real pregnancy symptom", for the newbies. IPS is imaginary.
There are a hatful of IPS's, i look for them all every cycle!!! But for me, there is ONE Major RPS- tingley nipples. i never have breast pain before AF or any point in my cycle, so right there it is a symptom.
But i am not even talking about true breast pain and soreness, which happens for me at more like 4-6 weeks pregnant. i am talking about itchy, buzzy, tingley nipples. i get that in the 1 WW, noticed it at 8 dpo last time i was PG.
So i am ignoring all other IPSs and waiting to feel that one!!!

Jenny,
Tingly nips are one of my main ones as well. I don't get tingly nips with PMS....
Last cycle I go severely tingly nips and then lots of clots with AF...my big sister was sure I had an early MC because of that. Her #1 RPS is tingly nips too LOLOL...
The other one that is harder to guage is the "foggy brain" thing. LOL. I get severely absent minded with PG....
Also...with PG nausea (not PMS nausea) I get the feeling behind my ears and in my neck...it's sort of a flush feeling in my face....with PMS if I get nauseated I get it just in my tummy....
Waiting for My BFP
Hmm, i do not feel nausea until a couple weeks later. but enormous hunger and extremem insomnia kick in too. but not until after the 2WW. so far for me i think it is only tingly nips!! ;-)
BTW, just got another $ test... i am gearing up!!

I saw this post and had to comment:
Mine, with both my pregnancies has been jaw dropping, clear the room, knock yourself over from the stench, swear that's been sitting in your body for 20 years GAS. I'm not kidding...when I'm pg, I can let them go. When the farts start, that's how I know that I probably have somethin' cooking in there!
And no boobie signs for me. I'll cry over anything, though!!!
Good luck, girls! It WILL happen!!!

For me, it's my boobs.
They felt slightly tingly and weird.
Also the cramping in one specific area.
Although even then, when I had them this past BFP and my 22 month old, I still didn't want to believe they were RPS. Because the first time, I wasn't trying, and the second because I was trying. If that makes sense/
I was afraid they were IPS.
Although I think, once this baby is born and we've waited a while, I think we'll have a third.
I'd like to think I'll pay attention next time. Because in the back of mind, I think I did know I was pregnant both times, just didn't want to believe it in case I was one of those crazies.
