So, as many of you know I am now in the perfect time frame to analyze my Early Pregnancy Symptoms and here is what I have discovered:



Sore Boobs: They weren't very sore until I started pinching and probing them every 5 minutes just to see if they were sore yet!



Extra Hungry: Well, I could stand to lose a few pounds so it's really no surprise that I get hungry every 3-6 hours. You would think that you would notice hunger pains a few times a day when you are not pregnant, but apparently you only get hungry when you are trying your best to keep AF away.



Irritability: Is it really me being unreasonable and emotional just because I get upset when DH does what DH's do best- something stupid??? Did a one year old really ASK for chocolate cake for lunch???



Bloating: I have already established that I could stand to lose a few pounds. I will leave it at that.



Need to urinate frequently: Seeing that I am going through 4-5 tests a day I need to drink lots more water just to keep up with my addiction. Is it really a surprise that I have to pee more??



Blue Veins on Boobs: They are always there, only now they look darker because of the bruises I have inflicted on myself with the above mentioned poking and prodding!



Morning Sickness: Since I convinced myself that I was extra hungry I ate lots and lots of healthy steamed vegetables (like brocolli, cauliflower and carrots) followed by a huge slice of chocolate cake with chocolate icing because I was "craving it"--- I am pregnant you know That much sugar is bound to make anyone feel a little queasy.



Uterine cramping: turns out that all that extra fiber in my diet causes gas pains from you know where. Those aren't uterine cramps- one good FART would blow this symptom away!!! Pun intended!!



Extra Tired: I stay up until 2am analyizing POAS- no wonder I am so sleepy all the time!!

So, I have come to the conclusion that early pregnancy symptoms are CRAP. Just mind games we play with ourselves to keep us busy til that BFP finally shows!!!

OMG!! Heather, that was awesome...I couldn't help it after reading 'uterine cramping'...I burst out laughing so loud that DB got distracted from his gangsta video game and asked me what was so funny. All I could manage was, "You wouldn't understand!"

OMG! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who abuses my breasts just to see if they hurt!!!!! Unfortunately, I even do it in public now without knowing it!!!!!!

I love the list! It's so true!

haha thanks for the good laugh, Heather. That is so true!

When I'm hoping for a BFP, I'll sniff something so much until it literally makes me so nauseous I really want to vomit. Then I've convinced myself I *must* be pregnant

I'm pretty sure that the only reason my bbs are tender are 'cause I keep "testing" them for tenderness.
