Calling all symptom spotters!

[Smashley25]

Thanks, I hope so!

And yes, men are so stupid! He's just freaked out, but that's no excuse. He doesn't get to tell you he's okay with it and then change his mind. That's not how it works. Just calm down and relax, even though I'm sure it's impossible and very easy for me to say. Shall we discuss something completely different? It's helps me to be distracted when I'm upset.

 

[mamawanabe21]

Oh yes please!
I can focus on the positives, like I've finally found a drink that DOESN'T give me killer heartburn: Lemonade! It's all I can stomach at the moment! But I'm so please because I've tried almost everything I can think of!
How's your day been other than the test results?
I'm also planning on going to Disneyland on the 14th, in paris. I can't wait!

 

[StitchFan]

I'm going to Disneyland on Sunday! I have to get my annual Christmas picture in front of their giant tree!

How many days did you spot emma? And what dpo did you test?

 

[mamawanabe21]

Oh I hope you have fun!!

I had some spotting 3dpo, which I think was O spotting, just took a while to come out and I was spotting 7dpo until 11dpo, got my for sure on 11dpo It sounds gross, but because there wasn't a lot of blood, it seemed to take it's time coming out, and it was also mixed with cm Does that help hun? xx

 

[StitchFan]

Yah that totally helps. I've been spotting 5dpo to now 9dpo... so I'm just wondering if the timing works. I guess it does so far, unless it keeps up. It's really watered down... like very very little in my panties but I can see quite a bit when I wipe. Was yours bright red? Mine started out dark brown, but now its red. But it's way way less than my usual AF. And I have no cm.

 

[Smashley25]

Yay for lemonade! You would actually think it would be the opposite since it's acidic, but whatever works!

My day's been pretty decent. Glad it's Friday! I just picked up the test results and will have to google when I get home as there's no comparisons. I work at a healthcare company doing analytics and I've been stuck on a problem on how to determine who was enrolled in what program for a few months when apparently the system went hay wire. I wasn't making very good progress so maybe better luck on Monday.

Yay for Disneyland! And Paris sounds so fancy, but I've never left North America so perhaps it's like going to San Antonio (yes, it's in Texas but I lived there most of my life and can't think of anywhere relevant here) for me... 3 hour drive, go a few times a year, fun but nothing special. I'm excited about not working for seven days starting the 19th although my biggest excitement there will be cleaning the house properly.

I've got to drive home now but I'll be back online in 45 minutes or so.

 

[SMGP]

Oh man, I am sorry to hear that! Hopefully he will cone around! In the meantime, you have us yo talk to!

 

[Bmama]

Oh ladies I've missed you today!!! So much has happened while I was away today, I had a full day traveling for work. Honestly the fatigue and cramps are so annoying I broke down today...and last night with my OH. I had a similar situation last night with my OH, at first he didn't believe me and when his first reaction wasn't pure joy I broke down big time, hence my absence last night. It helped talking all night about our fears, etc bc I do think guys are never truly ready until they actually see the baby via ultrasound or even in person. Emma I will say a prayer for you tonight hun that everything works out because I have a feeling it will definitely don't stress yourself out over it not worth it for your health or the baby, and when your OH gets home you can chat in person.

To the ladies that AF visited im so sorry but at least you know you are healthy and can get back at it in a couple of weeks honestly I already miss the BD so enjoy it while it's there! Hehe sorry that's probably tmi. I am on my phone with no computer at this hotel I'm staying at for work, so I'll have to look back and respond to everyone tomorrow.

Baby dust to you ladies you are all in my thoughts n prayers for BFPs and H&H 9 months!!!!!!

How's it doing today hun? Any let up? I have my fingers crossed that it's not the rearing that ugly head!
The spotting I had 3dpo was brown, which is why I figured it was O bleeding and it'd taken a while to show itself. The bleeding I got on 7dpo was a tiny amount, and I freaked out because it was pink. I actually referred to it as bright pink on here somewhere in the region of 7-11dpo. It wasn't bright pink at all, I was panicking, in fact (tmi alert) it looked like red blood mixed with creamy cm to turn it pinkish. I had to really look to begin with, because I couldn't tell if it was the lighting playing tricks on me. But by 11dpo, it was back to being brown, and only present internally. I still thought I was out and that AF had showed, and the only thing that calmed me was the fact that my temps were still raised. (My temps and that I was telling myself that my body is too lazy to be capable of lowering my estrogen and raising my progesterone enough for AF to be possible at 5dpo )

Ashley I friggin LOVE Paris! It's sooo romantic and you can almost feel 'love' in the air. Everything they say is true.
If you can ignore the annoying French men that harrass you into buying cheap crappy figures of the Eiffel Tower (they literally corner you and force them into your hand, and DEMAND you pay them, so you literally have to drop it on the floor and walk away before they get too violent!)
It's a 12 hours journey there and back, but it will be totally worth it! I'll try and take some photo's to pop up on here for you girls!
I'd much rather come visit the states! I've always wanted to come over! In fact, me and Mum were planning a holiday over there for next year - I guess that's out of the window now! Will have to post pone it! I friggin LOVE the states! I can't believe you guys get to have Lucky Charms cereal! I was raised on that stuff, but then the UK banned it....annoyed much?! Sorry rant over lol.

Bella, I'm sorry your OH had reacted that way, but maybe that's a good thing after all? It was a chance to get out all of your fears etc. I'm hoping that will happen when OH is home. I don't think he realises how I feel in all of this too; absolutely terrified!!

SMGP you have no idea what the support of you ladies means to me right now Thank you so much, all of you. I'd be a friggin mess with out you all!!

 

[mamawanabe21]

I just wanted to share this with you...
It reminds me that mother nature is beautiful, and kind of makes me believe in magic....
Have a wonderful day everyone!

Great picture Emma!!! Dawn or dusk? I had a very special 'sign' yesterday from who I believe is my grandpa who passed away ten years ago. I'm from a very hick town, and one of the biggest highlights of the year was going out in spring and hunting for these certain, very delicious mushrooms. I have been trying to plan a trip back home so I can take my hubby mushroom hunting, but it's proving difficult to find the time. Well, anyway, I woke up yesterday and took my fury babies out to potty, and holy cow... in the McDonald's landscaping next to our condo... were some of the biggest mushrooms I've ever seen! I picked them with and we sauteed them and hat them with dinner last night. I know my Papa gave them to me as a gift and I haven't stopped smiling since.

As for my symptoms, I have no idea what's going on. I feel like I might be losing it. I've been having super vivid dreams that past few nights, and still spotting.. and now its very brown and watery. It was never enough for me to need to use a tampon or anything, so I'm thinking it's not af. I've been having some cramping and today my nips have a very crazy tingling/burning feeling. They're super full too... which I don't mind But my temp dropped way back down again today... even though I don't really have a patten for temping yet.

I tested yesterday with an ept and got a bfn. I'm thinking now I'll wait until af is late and then test again. Those tests are so $$$!

 

[Ladybuggz]

Hey Ladies,
Just quickly updating my TWW. I'm officially late for my period but only by a day so I don't want to get my hopes up. I keep feeling period like cramps (and I keep checking when I nip to the toilet) just in case. Thought I'd recall all my symptoms so far for anyone that's interested!

-Mild Cramping for the last 2 weeks
-Spotting around 10DPO
-Ongoing waves of nausea (although never been sick)
-Very vivid baby dreams
-Hot flushes (occuring the last few days)
-Pinching feeling around my right ovary at 10DPO
-lots of headaches during the last 2 weeks too.
-Felt sharp needle like pain in my left nipple around 11DPO

My last test was a day or two ago and it was a BFN

I'm now 15DPO (HOWEVER I may have got ovulation pinpointed wrong as this is only my second cycle off the pill). I am on cycle day 29 (last cycle was 28 days).

That's so lovely!!

 

[Boocka]

here's my update, I got a negative, so we will be trying for month #3! wish me luck! baby dust to everyone!

 

[KLC2013]

I hoping for my BFP. I'm due to test on Tuesday if I can hold out that long. This is my second month on clomid so I don't know if my symptoms are from that, af or pregnancy:
Occasional cramping
Food aversions
Headaches
Bloating
Constipation
Very very sore bbs that are so full and tight (the biggest they have ever been)
Plus my nips are always hard which has never ever happened. Every time they even rub on my shirt they pop up.
Low back pain
Fatigue


I just don't know what to think. It drives me crazy.

 

[mrsferguson]

Emma- I'm sooo sorry about what you are going through. I'm sure that's really tough especially with pregnancy hormones. I know I would be devastated. I hope he comes to his senses and decides that his is happy and excited. I'm sure he is just scared/shocked and was possibly just having a bad day or something. Anyways girl things will work themselves out just try to concentrate on taking care of yourself and that little bean!

Stich- I'm a day late and still getting . I have been exhausted and also having vivid dreams. Friday night I had a dream that some man was in my house and my hubby was asleep and I got raped. It was so real I was apparently punching my pillow, shaking, and saying all kinds of stuff. Hubby had to wake me up and calm me down. I have never had a dream like that in my life and I can't believe how real it felt. AF is showing no signs of coming so I have no clue what to think at this point.

On the bright side I've had a pretty good weekend so far. My husband works 7 days a week and with me taking so many hrs at school we don't get to spend a whole lot of time together. Last night his work had a Christmas party so we got to spend a lot of time together. Today we went out to eat and then to a movie with his mom and brother. That may not sound like much but we seriously rarely get to go out and do much of anything. I always have homework or class and he is always exhausted from work and just wants to relax. A perfect end to the weekend would be to get a BFP in the morning! Although I kinda doubt that will happen but we shall see!

 

[StitchFan]

Well everyone, I'm still spotting really watered down brown blood, and this is day 6. No idea what is going on! But today I think I've kinda felt 'pregnant' if that's possible. I've never been preg before, so I really have no idea if that's what it is. My stomach is very bloated and tight, and very upset. I've not been hungry at all, and had lots of heartburn. I've also had shooting/burning pains in my boobs and just general discomfort in my back. I'm feeling kinda hopeful!
