Hi, can I join? I'm theoretically due on 6th April- we just started TTC last month and I was so astounded when I tested on 1st August and a dark line came up straight away! I'm 35, have just come off the Pill (June), and I actually thought AF had arrived- on CD 26 bleeding that seemed like AF started, then stopped suddenly the next afternoon, followed by spotting the next couple of days. I just wanted to be sure though so I tested on Sunday and there was the BFP!
I didn't have much in the way of symptoms during the 2WW- in fact I felt great, and almost completely normal. I did feel at the time like my sense of taste and smell had got stronger although I thought I might be imagining it- luckily no nausea yet though, and everything tastes delicious right now! I then started to get really sore gums and the inside of my mouth felt weird along with some tension in my lower back- that's probably what prompted me to take the HPT.
I don't see sore gums mentioned as a symptom here a lot but when I did a search it seems quite common. I also have several mouth ulcers (another symptom it appears) which are starting to get better now thank goodness, and I have been really, really thirsty most of the time for the last few days. It's very hot where I live (Tokyo
), has been around 35 deg C (about 95 deg F?) the last few days so I would be drinking a lot anyway, but this is way thirstier than I would normally get in summer.
Long post! But I haven't told anyone yet other than DH- I have sent my parents (in Australia and NZ) cards with the news and want to wait until I have been to the doctor to tell anyone else, so felt like I needed to tell someone all about it!
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy pregnancy!
