{in}fertility friday: doctor google...

 So on 11DPO all sorts of phantom pregnancy symptoms start {well, lets be honest they started RIGHT after I ovulated}...so the normal thing is to bust out doctor google to see if *maybe* one of the symptoms I am having is an ACTUAL pregnancy symptom. Don't judge me, I know you do it too! lol

Let's look at my symptoms shall we?

Sore boobs:
    Dr. Google says very sore breasts are a sign of pregnancy.

in reality it is just a sign that stupid AF is on her way...

Dull cramping:
    Dr. Google says lots of people have mild cramping during their 2ww and have BFPs.
in reality my body is out of whack cause I O'd a week late so it *thinks* AF is happening now...
Backaches: 

    Dr. Google says lower backaches may be a symptom that occurs early in pregnancy.
in reality my office chair sucks balls...



Sleepiness:

    Dr. Google says one of the early signs of pregnancy before missing a period is fatigue. The change of hormonal levels make you exhausted and sleepy.
in reality I just can't sleep well I guess....plus getting up to pee is not helping...

I am resisting POAS for now...I'm scared to see a BFN...I don't think I could take it...it's hard enough to look at the BFN ovulation sticks while waiting for that to happen. So now I take my phantom pregnancy symptoms and play the waiting game...

15 brilliant insights:

This post made me giggle. Yes I've been there MANY times at 11DPO googling to see what my symptoms were.

I love your breakdown, hilarious!. Praying that you get your BFP this cycle :)

Kelly said...

This post is too funny! I hope that you get that BFP this cycle!

Dr. Google is dangerous. I equate him to a fortune teller. You only see what you want to! Hugs! Hope this is it!

HAHA - Yeah, I always checked to see if my symptoms were possible BFP symptoms. Of course they always were - and yet I kept getting BFNs!

This time around I was hungry, tired and my boobs felt "heavy" not sore - oh and I was a total sneezing machine and my CM was always creamy - never dried up.

Katie said...

Ohhhh, Dr. Google. He's a crazy ass. I think he should be banned during the 2WW! Regardless, I hope you get your BFP this cycle. :)

Marla said...

To me, sore boobs are a sign that my cat has walked across my chest. But, hey, that's just me.

lol You are so so cute! I totally know how that all goes! But they sound like good symptoms to me!! Praying this is it! xoxo

Michelle said...

Dr. Google and I have a definite love-hate thing going on. He plays with my head and sends mixed signals, yet I keep coming back for more. Oh, and my biggest early preggo sign? Yeah, my boobies sorta hurt, but...mostly...everything smelled sooooo bad. Like death and rotten fish sticks and month-old Easter eggs you never found, all rolled into one.
Fingers crossed that everything smells rank to you asap. :)

jensays (what would jen do) said...

my RE said that everything that's a symptom of being pregnant is a symptom of not being pregnant. unless it's a positive pregnancy test. i definitely had to stop googling this stuff a long time ago.

Evie said...

According to Dr. Google I must be pregnant too! haha..I have these symptoms alot...but then I remember I have pcos and my body is just out of whack...funny post :)

Natalie said...

omgosh i really wish u hadn't told me about Dr. Google cuz i only knew about WebMD. Now i'm gonna be there ALL THE TIME!

Amber said...

Without a doubt we've ALL done it!! You're not alone. Although now that I've been out of the TTC game for a while, this post was definitely good for a flashback and a giggle. :) I hope this is your lucky cycle!

Amber said...

FYI - I stole your 30-day journal project and also linked to you today. :)

Jen @ After The Alter said...

Lots of luck to you this month! Dr. Google is a nut! lol I've done it so many times, but they definitely are ALL pregnancy symptoms!!! I hope this is it!

Good day Guys

Are there any Blu-Ray/dvd

combo players?
I know there are actually dvd/vcr players. Are there any players that perform each of them dvds together with blu-rays that I can get rather than purchasing two different players?

Many thanks !
