Hi everyone, I thought i'd show my "symptoms" in my TTW. I'm not holding my breath for being pregnant as I get some symptoms every month.
Well here's a brief history....I'm 42. I came off the contraceptive pill July '12 and started regular periods straight away. I got my first BFP on the 5th October. I had a missed miscarriage on 15th November at 10 weeks. We have been trying ever since.
This month I decided to make note of my symptoms. I am not 100% sure of my O date but think it was around 9th of this month, May '13, which means i'm approximately 6 DPO.
1 DPO...No symptoms
2 DPO...Fatigue. Very bad acne started on my back. Spots on my forehead, around my ears, jawline and chin. I only normally get a spot on my chin around AF time. Vivid dream about my ex partner.
3 DPO...Exhausted, very grumpy
2 & 3 DPO...Craving crisps at 3am.
4 DPO...Exhausted beyond belief, I kept dozing on and off all day, very grumpy and easily irritated, feeling nauseous.
4, 5 & 6 DPO...Extremely clumsy, even DP has commented on how I am at the moment. Serious heartburn, burbing A LOT!! (the other end too lol). I can pee for England, I cannot stop going. I go then an hour later I need to go desperately again. I have had many UTI's so know its not that. I pee as much as I did in my previous pregnancy.
5 DPO...Exhausted again. I spent the evening ripping up carpets and sweeping dust and rubbish...half killed me!!!! lol. Grumpy again. BBs started to hurt a little, nauseous, even pulling from traffic lights made my stomach lurch. May be because i'm exhausted though. My left ear is blocked and suffering from mild tinitus.
6 DPO...Exhausted again but only had 3 hours sleep, grumpy, easily irritated, BBs hurting a lot more today and cramps starting (not due AF till 23rd May, 9 days), quite nauseous. Left ear is still blocked.
I'll keep updating as time goes on.
7 DPO...Very irritable, one of my DP's clients keeps phoning...5 times in 7 hours!!! I actually had a major rant about it lol, bb's still sore and nipples quite tender. DP pinched them last night and I could have cried (I do get sore bb's before AF though). My sense of smell is heightened, I could actually smell the spices in my cupboard from a few feet away. I woke this morning to terrible cramping, I equated it to my miscarriage pain. Wore off after an hour. Nauseous still but feeling hungry. Headaches and light headedness. Exhaustion is eating away at me now, i'm fed up of sleeping my days off away...a week off work and all I want to do is sleep, not good lol. Loose bowels and lots of wind.
DP came home from work and said the strangest thing....is this a sign???? I'm a believer in signs so i'm hoping this a really big one. When he got in the car to come home, he noticed a dummy/pacifier attached to the windscreen wiper (he's using my car at the moment as his is broken and off the road). He has no idea who put it there or why. Where he's working at the moment, nobody knows us or our trying for a baby. Very bizarre i'd say. What do you all think? A sign or coincidence?
8 DPO...Woke up with a bad head which lasted a good half an hour before wearing off. Been feeling nauseous all day so far. BB's and nipples still giving lots of pain. The acne/spots are continuing from about DPO 2. I also have a huge red lump of a spot on my right boob, quite unsightly!!! Tiredness continues, had to have a 2 hour sleep 3 hours after waking. Had a dream I was showing my mum a pram that i'd bought, also that I had huge dark blue veins popping out of my boobs (not a vein in sight in reality lol). Hunger seems to have worn off a little and am now only eating for the hell of it.
9 DPO...Mild nausea today but hit me harder during the evening and my night shift. Exhaustion, very irritable and grumpy, even my poor dog got shouted at lol. Awful metallic taste carrying on throughout the night. Dizziness, sore bb's. Itchy tummy and bb's, headachey. Hungry. Twinges in my uterus, mild cramping.
10 DPO...Nausea, sore bb's, lots of watery/creamy CM. Feel like i'm getting a rotten cold, urgh, achy all over, stuffed up nose. lightheadedness.
11 DPO...Hmmmm, well I think i'm out this month and its all been just a huge big kick of progesterone. My symptoms, apart from the sore boobs, nipples and cramps, have subsided. No nausea, nothing!!! AF is due in two days, so it's just a waiting game. I'm gutted. Oh well, there's always next month.
On a positive note today, my bb's are very itchy and my pubic bone area is very itchy...weird. I'm also constipated. I really want to buy an early response test but I think it will be a waste of money, so i'll just hang on for AF to show her ugly face.
Ok I crumbled. I had a spare digital test...not to be used until missed period. How silly of me to think that it would register a BFP 2 days early. Of course it was a BFN. Now i'm even more convinced its all been a huge progesterone kick.
AF came yesterday....oh well, next month!!!
) almost like a dull achy feeling just like I get DURING af's visit. Not expecting her for a couple more days but I dont have high hopes for this cycle 
but as always am very hopeful!
