8 DPO - Trying not to be too suspicious, BUT!!

[Kalysia]

Good morning, All!

So, I'll open on a little back story. OH and I are in the process of fertility treatment (I am good to go, but, the specialist seems to think that the issue we are having is with OH, and a bladder neck problem, following a post-kidney transplant procedure). The specialist wanted him to try Sudafed, prior to an appointment for semenalysis, to see about getting everything moving. ^^. So, like a couple of crazy kids, curiosity got the better of us, and we tried it, early. (Like, more than a week in advance of his appointment, no worries, there). OH was very curious to see how it worked, mechanically. We certainly weren't thinking about getting pregnant, at the time.

...-And, yet, here we are. ^^;;;;.

So, today is 8 DPO, if I look at everything, right. (I've been waiting for the specialists to work everything out, so, tracking ovulation really hasn't been on my mind). But, I'm usually pretty spot-on with these things, regardless. In the last week, following our little 'experiment', I've noticed some... oddities? Things that I don't normally go through. So, I thought I'd share, track, and ask for opinions!

Suspected Day of the O: Experiment Day - Surprise! (Seriously, I didn't even realize what day it was).
1-2 DPO: Nada. Just another day in the neighbourhood.
3 DPO: Couldn't sleep. Not, tossing and turning, but... I just generally could not get back to sleep, once I woke up. (This normally happens, the night before AF shows up). Cold. Something in my kitchen smells like old, raw chicken.
4 DPO: Some pretty ugly pains in my breasts, to the sides. Cold. I can still smell chicken.
5 DPO: Couldn't sleep, again. Same feeling, wondering if I had REALLY miscalculated my dates. A little nauseous. So cold. Bawk, bawk. Hips and lower back ache.
6 DPO: Pretty irritable. Assumed it was from a lack of sleep. Off and on between nauseous, and starving. Absolutely no middle ground. Side-breast tenderness, again. Still cold. Still haven't found the chicken smell. OH thinks I'm nuts. Hips and lower back ache. Bit gassy-feeling.
7 DPO: Bitchy. I won't even sugar-coat it. Everything sawed at my nerves, all day long. Wanted to quit my job (over nothing!). Feel like I have no filter. Slept fine(-ish), the night before, but still so tired. Wanted nothing to do with my lunch, but had the worst desire for (*gags*) Burger King, in the middle of the day. Freezing cold. Hips and lower back are killing me. Heavy feeling around my navel. Feeling a little gassy. The chicken... THE CHICKEN... OH pulled the joke, 'If I'm doing these tests, and you're already pregnant, I'll be pissed!'. Which got me thinking about the last few days. (Yeek!). Ate dinner, and had a two-hour nap on the couch. Still so tired, I went to bed, less than two hours after I woke up. Turned over, in bed, and felt so nauseous, I thought I was going to be sick.
8 DPO: Did I sleep, at all, last night?! Still not impressed with the day, in general. (Every time my desk phone rings, I get a little more angry). Still feel like I have no filter. Started off cold, then went into a hot flash. Now, I feel cold, but, I'm sweating?? A little gassy-feeling. Hungry, but nauseated. GERD is going a little nuts. Breast tenderness, mostly around the nips, this morning. Think I'm having to pee, more, as I think about it. That heavy feeling is still around my lower abdomen. Waiting to see what other 'fun' the day brings me.

I should note, I have cleaned my kitchen, top to bottom. There is nothing there to cause that disgusting chicken smell. ^^.

Now, I am not sold on believing that I'm pregnant, but... This is odd?? Even for me. My other theory is that AF is going to hit me, early. But, even then, if that is the case, she can just cut it out!!

Oh my gosh you got me cracking girl I love the way you're telling your story
I have a lot of the same symptoms this cycle, especially the one were you feel cold but still sweating *Wth*?
But when kiddos or hubby curls up next to me they say "mommie you're so warm" hmmm.... better be pregnant or I think I quit lol. Symptoms are so confusing

Tee-hee, well, thank you, very much! If I don't approach this situation with a little humour, I'll drive myself MORE bonkers!

YES. OH says I feel like a furnace, and I kind of want to smack him, until he understands, 'COLD, COLD, COLD!!!!'.

Disclaimer: I am not normally that violent. OH is in no direct danger.

The cold sweating is the strangest thing!! It's not getting any better, either. Oh, heck, I hope this is a good sign, for both of us!! Bring on the BFPs!! I just figure, it would be just my luck. The one month I wasn't even trying.

So, as this afternoon has progressed, I feel sort of like I am coming down with the flu... I mean this, in terms of the cold-chill-sweats, and the aching, but... No other part of me feels sick? I don't know how best to describe it. Sickness makes me a miserable, foggy mess. Right now, I just feel like a couple of things went haywire. .

Ah, well. I could just be going loony! That's fine, too!

Did u test ? I have experienced so much of what u have so curiosity iss getting the better of me

You are a great story teller. I am a week behind you (I think) and my symptom spotting is driving me crazy. I've got the cold thing and the bitch factor for sure! I wasn't so annoyed with people at work today, but then again it could just be the monster we just handed our country to.

Anyways, I have 7 dpo and keep having these pinches in my left ovary. I have a 14 month old, so I went through this not all that long ago, but I don't really remember the early days. I don't remember if I had this last time. I'm testing next Friday if AF hasn't shown up yet. Did you test already??

This looks promising, Kalysia!!! I hope the sudafed worked and you get a bfp on your own How cool would that be?!

I too am having crazy symptoms. The random twinges/cramping/pinches on the left side of my uterus or very low abdomen are the only thing I am truly thinking could be a sign.... everything else I feel like I can dismiss as just normal PMS, but I never get pre AF cramps. Oh and I have been cold, too! Of course it is January.... so that could be why
