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!!!

Cindy, i also get anxious and paranoid before Af - i am SURE that everyone on the board things i am a useless excuse for a human being, LOL it is ridiculous!! i am too far away from Af to notice that now tho. Some months i dont notice it. so it is not a reliable RPS (absence of paranoia) for me. i didnt have it last month, for example.

Oh my gosh! I just realized that I have not had the bad PMS mood that I normally get before AF. Here are my symptoms, I want to think that I'm going to get a BFP but I don't want to talk myself into it just yet, for fear it won't be.
I have had sore bb's, since about 2 dpo, which is normal, although it's been a bit different, some stabby pains too. I had a load of creamy cm one day and it's continued, which is unusual for me! That was my first "huh?" moment.
Okay...so...
10 DPO can still be too early... 13DPO is the safest early date. It can take several days for your HCG to even reach detectable levels for a HPT... keep that in mind. One of the ladies that is in the April EC tested at 10DPO BFN and then got her BFP at 14DPO...
Extra CM typically doesn't show for me or my sister for that matter until after the HPT comes in BFP... both times I was pregnant (once with an ectopic) I didn't notice excess CM until after AF was late....
The BB's for me...I get different pains with BFP vs AF.... At this point I can't tell the difference since I psych myself out every month since i've been actively TTCing. KWIM?
The mind plays tricks...so CM being different is much better to hold hopes on than the BB's..your mind can cause BB pains...LOL.
The eating/not eating thing can be a great sign too...the cravings don't typically start this soon either..just FYI (that could be in all of our minds). I didn't get cravings with DD until after my first trimester. That doesn't mean it isn't an RPS for some ladies on here.... but I think it's in our minds too... I didn't get that-"I can't live without eating cheesecake today" feeling until about 4 months prego....mmkay..
HTH....
Waiting for My BFP
Okay...
TMI *alert*: You wrote this and then when I was about to take my shower this evening I decided to look down there and my jaw dropped...my labia and clitoris are bright blue...like a bad bruise or something... I was thinking- "what the heck!?". Not that I examine my labia everyday, but I KNOW KNOW KNOW I have never ever noticed my labia being that dark blue...they look like dead skin...and they typically don't it's a bit alarming...
I hope it's an RPS because it's freakin' me out!!!
