A 2WW that feels different somehow...

[Moondance]

I am fairly certain I ovulated last Thursday, which also happens to be the day my partner and I did the BD.
My breasts were not sore on Friday, but late Saturday night started to ache, and now, though I would only be 9dpo if I ovulated when I thought, it all seems a bit different this time around.

On the Thursday, a few hours after I had sex with my partner, I had a bleed. I've never bled after sex before, no matter how rough, aside from the occasional bit of pink. This looked like my periods were coming back, I wiped and it was RED RED blood. Later in the day it was a bit of red, but until Friday night, I had some red spotting in my panties. So again, another completely different thing that has made me wonder.

For the last 2 days, my boobs have been SO freaking sore.
Usually its just sensitive/tender nipples, that when touched or brushed, they're somewhat tingly. But this time, for the past 2 days, my boobs are sore CONSTANTLY. Every movement I make can be felt in my boobs, and this morning whilst laying down on my back, my boobs were literally throbbing like I've never felt before. I was literally laying there going "jeeezuz, what the!!!!!!" as it felt like the inside of my boobs were alive and moving around. It was kinda surreal. I got a bit weirded out and wound up just grabbing at my boob to make the weird feeling go away. Bad idea, coz I immediately winced with a sudden ouchie.

Yesterday I felt weird and fatigued all day... And slept for most of the day.

Its coming onto winter here, so night time is getting cold, but both last night and tonight, I started out feeling cold at the beginning of the night, but by the time 1am came along (its 1:16 now) I couldn't stand being under blankets and was overheating.
And last night I just could not for the life of me sleep, I felt so weird and uncomfortable and tired, but at the same time, couldn't stay asleep.
And I get the feeling tonight is going to be the same way.

Very strange. This is different for me.

Last night turned out as I expected.... I was ver restless, couldn't sleep, hot and cold, just couldn't get comfortable no matter what I did.

 

[Moondance]

Just felt compelled to eat a toasted sandwich with baked beans, egg and vintage cheese on it....

Five minutes later I feel nauseous. WTF stomach.... O_O

 

[Gingersnaps]

I would try testing, but then I am a poasaholic

 

[Moondance]

As so many of us are, lol.
I don't like testing before my due date, as it just makes me depressed when I see a negative.

I Can't stop EATING!!!!! I HATE eating, but in the past few hours I've just eaten and eaten and eaten!!! I eat and five minutes later I'm hungry!


10 dpo. Symptoms are as such:

* Sore BB's. To the point I am trying not to move as my boobs moving around makes them hurt. Drove over speedbumps today. Was not a happy girl. They also feel fuller and fatter.
* Difficulty sleeping, restless, can't get comfortable
* Hot flushes late at night
* Cannot stop eating! Just feel perpetually hungry. But oddly, I don't feel hungry UNTIL I eat something. Once I eat something, I cannot stop, I just need to keep eating. But everything I eat makes me feel a bit weird and sick.
* Fatigue, but inability to sleep. Weird. Maybe BECAUSE of my inability to sleep.
* Cramping in right ovary?
* Butterflies in stomach throughout day
* A bit bloated
* Getting weird pains in random body parts, despite not doing anything to make them painful. Was just sitting here typing and got a sharp pain through my left shoulder. Weird as hell!
* Peeing slightly more than usual.

Perhaps you should test? Otherwise you're going to rile yourself with this symptom spotting and be deflated if AF shows up. Been there so many times before. I just dismiss the symptom spotting and wait for big red to show up like she always does.

Either way, good luck.

 

[Moondance]

yeah, but not everybody is going to get a BFP at 10dpo. I really despise testing before my due date, because there are so many people who do it, and just get disappointed over and over, they get their BFN and STILL say "maybe I might still be and its just too early to test". So I refuse to test early and be like that, because seeing a BFN, while it will depress me, still doesn't mean I won't hold out hope either way. It just means I spend the next few days being a total bitch to people and crying all the time.

Its been nearly 2 and a half years. I spent the first year being one of those people who did test early, got disappointed but kept testing anyway. And it was insane.
And here, they wouldn't let me see an infertility specialist until it had been 2 years. I got the appointment (I contacted them about the appointment in January, they gave me the appointment for MAY).
I feel bad enough thats it gone on this long without resorting back to the testing super early, I'd rather wait until the day AF is due, if she doesn't arrive, THEN test. But symptom spotting in the meantime isn't hurting anybody.
Whereas, needlessly testing just costs money that could be spent on better things. Especially since they don't sell the dollar store cheapies here. Cheapest I could get at the pharmacy is $10.00... and for me, thats $10.00 better spent on other things, since I breed rats and also run a hatchery as well as take in rescue animals.

Update on what is 13dpo if I ovulated when I think I did, which was the same day I had the bleed.


Yesterday (12 dpo) in the morning, my boobs felt like they were no longer sore, so I was like "okay, well, expecting AF, not a biggy".... but by night time they started hurting again. Nipples are majorly sensitive and right this second, my right nipple feels like its throbbing.
I am peeing pretty frequently. Pretty much every hour, which is not the norm for me.
Earlier tonight I had a major bout of nausea, that swept through me even though I had done nothing.
When I was visiting my partner at his work, I had these weird stabby type pains in both my right and left ovary area, and each time, it stabbed to the point my body did a bit of a jerk as I was like "woah, wth"
I am still having night time hot flushes. I put my jumper on earlier and within 2 minutes had to take it back off again.

CM wise, its pretty sticky and tacky. Tried to BD with partner earlier and it just felt weird him going in and out, it was like he was sticking it into sticky goo that was all tacky and not allowing proper flow, for lack of better descriptives. Sorry if that sounds icky.
I'm still eating like a fiend, but within minutes of eating, I feel sick.

And for most of this week I've been hardcore craving dairy. And now the dairy craving has turned into a craving for cold stuff, like slushies, ice creams, ice blocks, etc.

And for this next bit.... I'll have to explain a little something first.
I suffer from anosmia/hyposmia. Which is an extremely limited sense of smell. Almost 100% of the time, I can't smell ANYTHING, not smoke, fire, roses, a stinky toilet, animal poop, nothing. BUT... I have spent my day alternating between having my nose feel massively congested and blocked up to the point I have to keep blowing it..... and my nose feeling so clear, I can smell everything. Idling in a pet shop today I could smell the ferrets in the pet shop and I had to walk away. Driving down the freeway, we drove past the dump and oh wow did it reek. My dog also vomited in the car and I was having trouble breathing. Part of my anosmia is that I have a very limited sense of taste also. But with everything I smelt today, I could also taste it on my tongue and was gagging.
An entirely new experience for me.
But I'm still too scared to test......

Just hoping if I wait it out long enough, AF will just stay away and in a week I'll have my answer either way.

AF is late (due Wednesday, today is Friday)
I've been feeling nauseous ALL DAY, burping constantly, feeling dizzy, tired, want to throw up and boobs are still sore.

But testing with Crystal Clear came up negative. I didn't use FMU, but the last pee I did was 6 hours ago (I've been holding it). But still



Don't know whats going on.

But am gunna go lie down, this nausea is just too much!

 

[Moondance]

Evidently the nausea was because of what I was eating, and its over for the cycle.
Again. Failure.
I'm sick of this.

 

[Dazed]

I'm sorry hun. I hope you get your BFP soon. No one should ever have to be LTTC.
