Hi all! I'm new here. I decided I needed to find some ladies in the same boat as me to obsess over symptoms with to save DH from going crazy.
We have been TTC for 7-8 months now with no luck
We have two children, my son who is 5, and his daughter who is 8, and we are looking forward to having a child together.
Here's what's going on with me.
Last month AF(?) came 4 days earlier than expected, on August 27th, but was a weird one. Normally it lasts days, with the first and last day being light, and the middle 3 being a moderate flow. That time I bled lightly on my first day, then spotted light brown the second, then nothing on the third, and the last two days I spotted again, with the colour changing gradually from light brown to light pink. I was spotting only enough to see it when wiping.
Since then I've been having all sorts of symptoms:
-headaches ( which I NEVER get, and now I get them pretty much daily, sometimes more than once a day)
-poking pains all over my stomach ranging from bellybutton to pelvis
-stabbing pains in breasts, mainly only my right one though. DH says my boobs look and feel bigger. They feel heavy when I take off my bra, my nipples seem bigger when erect, and my areola seems to be darkening on the outside. I THINK I see some veins that I never noticed before, but I'm not sure.
-Random nausea. This morning for instance, I have been feeling sick since about 9am, and it is not 10:22.
-Waking up starving ( today I woke up at 5am absolutely RAVENOUS)
-Bloated to the point that wearing jeans is uncomfortable, I live in sweatpants at home now!
-Fatigue. Not so much sleepy tired, but just I-don't-wanna-move exhausted. Although there have been a couple days where I have napped, which I don't do.
-Sensitive to the smell of pee... if DS or DD forgets to flush and I either walk by the bathroom or walk in, it almost makes me want to gag.
-Hungry ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I have cravings but I'm not sure for what, and I have literally cried because I couldn't decide what to make, nothing sounded good.
-Mood swings. I've been crying a lot, and snapping at DH, poor guy.
-Really wet down there. Normally 2 days before AF my CM is sort of thick and kind of pasty, but it's been similar to EWCM.
-Randomly occuring AF-like cramps.
-The last couple days I seem to need to pee more
On Sept 7 (afternoon) and Sept 8 (FMU) I took dollarama pg tests, both came up negative instantly. I've been too afraid of disappointment to test again since, but plan on buying name brand tests if AF doesn't show this weekend.
Does anyone have any ideas about the "period" thing? Do you think it could have been implantation bleeding even though it lasted so long, and with the two negative tests? I'm so confused! I'm trying not to get my hopes up again but with all the symptoms it's so hard not to. Even DH thinks I could be this time, so I'm hoping that that's a sign!
