stupid symptoms

[thoseareradishes]

I'm actually having "phantom" symptoms this month, it is messing with my head a lot. 5th cycle trying, and this is the first time I've had any symptoms before my period. My boobs are sore (I've been doing the check too, to see if they really are sore- and they are), and my sense of smell is heightened- I had to ask H to clean the litter box last night because it smelled like a turd in the living room (he didn't smell it), and right now I can smell the wrapper from my hot turkey sandwich I ate last night.

I feel so stupid admitting this. I'm 10DPO, and I don't want to test because if it is negative I don't want to be grumpy for the weekend. Period is due in 3-5 days.

I'm in the same boat as you. 10dpo and feeling phantom symptoms. I want to test so badly but I also don't want to be disappointed. If I test now and it's negative then I will be in such a foul mood and I won't have any hope left for this cycle. I'd rather stay in this limbo state for a while longer (not that the wait isn't killing me, it is) only so I can hang on to the hope for a bit. If I'm not pregnant I have to wait until thanksgiving for my next FW. This blows.

I tested this morning- BFN. Boooooo.
