Hi ladies!
Been browsing these forums for the last few weeks and they've been so much help.
Just recently started talking about TTC for our first, so just recently started doing a lot of research and ran into these forums! I'm 11dpo (on a 28 day cycle), but my cycles are generally between 24-28 days (I've never had one late, only early). Prior to TTC my DH and I had been doing the 'pull out' method of birth control and had no scares, I could tell when I was ovulating easily due to cm and the consistency days before it.
This month we decided to wing it while we were talking through things. He absolutely loves kids so he's actually been pushing me for some time! Knowing my cycle well I knew I would either o on the 25th or 27th, it was the latter but we had some fun both days anyway and then throughout the week too.
Going to list some symptoms that I've never had before, but I have a fear that I may be imagining things. It's hard to believe that I could imagine so hard that it would cause me physical pain but a mind is a powerful thing!
-The last few days I've been unable to sleep, I work 40 hours/week, very early mornings and sometimes weekends. So I love my sleep because work wears me out! I can sleep 10-13 hours a day if given the opportunity (which is rare). In the last 3 days though I've maybe gotten 9 hours of sleep total, ouch. Not typical of me regardless of the situation. I can't get comfortable and my heart just races, not really thinking about anything other than the fact that I really wish I could go to sleep.
-Abdominal pain for the last week, increasing in the last 2-3 days. It literally feels like I'm having my period right now. There's no abnormal cm, in fact it's been quite dry, but it feels like I'm gushing sometimes and I have to run to the bathroom every 30 min only to find it's nothing. I don't typically cramp until it's good and flowing on the first day, especially abnormal that it's been a few days of feeling this as well. It's extremely irritating. I have random sharp shooting pains as well, I did get them before but not quite as frequent, happens mostly when I go to sit or stand up.
-I'm breaking out! I'm one of those that brags about how amazing my skin is, no matter the weather or what week it is. My face is flushed red, primarily on my forehead, which is quite obnoxious and I have a bit of acne. My face is also extremely dry.
-Been having a lot of extra muscle twitches (flutters) in my lower abdomen, and this sounds really weird.. but it almost feels like there's a bubble that randomly moves an inch or two up or down with increasing pressure to the areas around it. Part of why I can't sleep actually, just below the belly button and then a bit further. Strangest feeling ever so it's really hard to explain (wouldn't have mentioned it if I had never felt this before). It's a bit tender down there as well, like I've been working out.
-Increased sense of smell that does nothing but make me sick to my stomach. This has been the last week and seems as though this might be abnormal this early. If I smell anything even remotely foul I get sick to my stomach, puked twice due to things that smell terrible that I wouldn't normally pay attention to.
I took a test 9dpo, it was digital and read on here that those aren't that sensitive. Going to wait until Wednesday to take my next, as that's when it will be due. Anyone ever have similar symptoms? My bbs have always been quite sensitive (painfully) so I don't like messing with them much as is, haven't noticed an increase sensitivity though.
I'm going crazy. Nervous, scared and excited at the same time. I was preparing myself for a long time of TTC! So I definitely feel like it might just be my imagination. Thank you for taking the time to read, I work for a newspaper so I tend to ramble! Definitely plan on staying involved in the forums.
