Hi everyone,
I am new to the forums, but I have just read everyone's threads to calm me down as I have gone into super 'obsessed by every tiny may-be -a-pg-symptom' mode! (SORRY - THIS IS A LONG THREAD!!)
I came off the pill 2 months ago after being on it for 8 yrs. My 'natural' period came about 3 days after my usual BC period date, so I was a bit patchy on working out my ovulation date. I gave myself a week's O window to try to cover that and I read up on what O should feel/look like etc.
So I reckon AF is due on 27th April (but might be later!).
I'm just really confused because I had symptoms pretty much from the first day of BDing-to-get-pg. I've had (not all at the same time) big cramps, the pulling sensation in abdomen, bloating, dizziness, nausea, montgomery's tubercules, sore bbs, a cold, a sore throat, peeing alot, lots of cm, bad headaches, heartburn, vivid dreams (but not about babies), really tired, really really thirsty etc.
But now at what I think is 12DPO these seem to be going away (I'm almost willing them back!!). My nips are more tingly than sore, the montgomery's tubs are still there but less prominent, I still have a sore throat and a bit of heart burn but not much else.
So again I started reading up on that and the only things that come up are 'chemical pregnancies' etc i.e. I'm not pregnant (any more).
I did POAS twice too early just because my symptoms were so strong last week and I thought that it just had to show up on a HPT! But 2 x BFNs! (My DH thought I was loopy for doing it when it states on the box not to test early!)
So, ok, I should just wait and see what happens but aaaarrrrggh doesn't it just hold up your life waiting?! Because I'm not sure, I am looking after myself as if I was pregnant (I'm not taking anything for my sore throat but manuka honey and lemon and I'm not drinking alcohol and not eating goat's cheese!!) -which is never a bad thing.
After all that, I think what I'm saying is - is anyone feeling the same??!!!
. Your temps are staying up. When do you plan to test? Awhh, hopefully my temps will stay up and consistent. I really want this, as we all do!
Any symptoms? Me, im trying not to symptom spot.
Thanks I hope it is, I was due for my period today, I keep running to see if it came yet but she's a no show so far. This is one of the first months where I'm trying not to think about symptoms but I will say that 2 days ago it felt like someone filled my nipples with glass, so painful! but I mean I dunno could be anything I suppose. I am so hopeful but I am so used to
I am going to try and wait to test until I can't stand it but at this point, I was due today so as of tomorrow I'm a day late
I hope you get your
I looked at your chart, it looks awesome!! Good luck
Wednesday evening (earlier than expected). But.. now it's Friday evening and she's practically stopped, and i'm still having crazy backache, headaches, feeling sick and tired. There's now just a little brown discharge. Last month I bled for 7 days, so this is a tiny bit odd!
...hehehe..Good Luck to everyone else
to all in the running x
At least that waiting game is over. Goodluck to everyone else out there!!
Not sure what is going on in there! I had so many strong symptoms last week - even when I lay on my side in bed my belly felt uncomfortable. Maybe it's all in my head?!..
