What's your REALEST RPS?

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!!!

I know, it is the most horrible, seemingly never-ending illness!!! I am sooo glad i marked it down - it started at 7 weeks LMP, and ended right around 14, give or take. light at the end of the tunnel!!

i was just so glad when i read (in my book) that it didn't rerally start to get awful until 7 weeks LMP - i have time before it sets in, to get more ready around here! Cuz when it hits, i do not cook, at all!!!!

Absence of PMS. I get no really other symptoms for a while. Maybe fatigue, at least that was what it was with #1 but that was two pregnancies ago and I haven't caught up on my sleep yet. lol I do have cramping but nothing that I can tell the difference btn Af and pg.

Stephanie, your avatar photo is so beautiful, was it from professional wedding photos?

Ya i am hoping for lack of symptoms to....except for the tell tale tinlgy nips. nothing is more upsetting that feeling thos AF cramps. and i pretend, oh they could be PG cramps, but i KNOW they are not, kwim?

and ya, same here, the major fatigue and m/s dont come until 6-7 weeks for me too, thank goodness. cant wait tho ;-)

BD= baby dance or bad deed. Here i think it is baby dance, LOL but i have alwasy learned it as 'bad deed'. and DtD is 'do the deed', same thing, have sex, LOL

i do not check internally for CM, i just check when i go to the bathroom, and it has alwasys worked out. i have bum hands so i dont check anything internally. i do the same thing - start expecting ewcm after CD10, then BD when i see it. then once i ovulate, i immediately dry up, and just have creamy days. BUT there is often an odd EWCM late in the 2ww, that is normal.

oh, semen vs. EWCM - it usually is just obvious to me, the semen comes out right away and just goes away, dissipates in the toilet water. EWCM continues throughout the day, and is thicker. and more slippery than semen when i wipe with TP. HTH!!

how is the spotting? just one brown mucusy smudge? was it different from previous spotting? think positively !!! (and test daily with those $ tests ;-) i testd this am, even tho i am only 8 dpo. BFN of course oh well!!

GL!!

wow, LOL i am surprised at how many peope thought (and are told by doc's) that tingly nips are not a usual PG symptom. they are a MAJOR one for me, as i dont have that at any other time.

did you see my other post, in the 1 ww folder - my other RPS is that i lose my temper very very easily. i didnt know this one, my Dh pointed it out, LOL. i am glad to hear of someone else with this one!!

GL!!!!

Jenny,
Now..this may or may not be a RPS (I don't exactly remember). However, right now I hope it is. With PMS I usually get this -out of my mind bad moodiness-. I snap and I get paranoid and I am the opposite of patient. Right now I am 3 days till AF and I am level-headed...relaxed and not moody AT ALL... I hope this is a good sign. Every other month I've been hyper moody 5 days up to AF...(PMS)


When I was pregnant with DD I was in a really great mood (outside of being nauseated) for the first 2-5 months. I then got foggy-brained and super crazy the last 4 months..LOL

Has anyone else here noticed a marked difference between their RPS and PMS moods?
