Tender pelvic area and NOT sore boobs!

[Louise81]

Hi everyone. We've been TTC for a couple of months now. AF is due on Sat 12th but it can be irregular so even if it doesn't come on that day, it still could come.

The strange thing is, normally I have VERY sore boobs every month for at least a week before AF. But this month… nothing. Well I say nothing but they are slightly sore near my armpits but only if I push quite a lot…

Now I'm thinking *this could be it* or otherwise I'm thinking maybe I've got my dates all wrong. Sigh!

The other strange thing this month is that I have a very tender pelvic area. On the 6th and 7th I was getting lots of strange twinges around my lower abdomen, and on and off aching in my legs (felt flu-like). Since then the whole area has felt really tender like it has been bruised. It's especially noticeable beneath my hips. I got worried when I started reading up online as there was talk of cysts etc. but it's nothing too painful, just noticeable discomfort (I think it's fading now too).

Has anyone else experienced this tenderness or know what it could be? Could my non sore boobs be a sign – normally getting sore boobs is a sign! I wish I could just *wait and see* but I can't stop thinking about it!

Ovulation was around 26th to 31st Dec so don't think it could be that... Hmmm...

 

[Mervs Mum]

Have you been on BCP?

 

[Louise81]

Nope! Not for a few years anyway...

 

[Mervs Mum]

You could do an early test now......

 

[Louise81]

Eek... do you think? I thought it would be too early. Can't actually get to the shops to buy a test until Saturday anyway so I suppose I'll just have to wait! Argh! The torture! If this isn't it then what the hell is wrong with me?! LOL!!

 

[Mervs Mum]

If AF is due on sat you could get a test that detects early. It's not forced to show anything but they do for some people.

I do think when we are TTC we can sometimes listen to our bodies so carefully that things we wouldnt have really registered become a big deal. As long as AF hasnt shown up it could be 'it'.

I have had those type of symptoms before...and it ended up just being pms and me hyper focusing on everything my body was doing...weird how you notice so much more when your ttc! But taking an early test wouldn't hurt either!! If you are journaling or charting, be sure to note all these symptoms as they will be good guidelines for you when going though a new cycle, but I hope you wont have to get that far Best of luck!

Thanks everyone! It's just so different from my normal PMT symptoms. And the lack of sore boobs is just bizarre! Well... not too long until I find out!

I am new to baby and bump and was strange reading your message Louise is exactly how I feel! have strange pains in my lower abdomen and it feels like I could be having a period but my boobies usually feel sore now as I should come on any day according to my diary. However I am a bit all over the place with my periods as came off the pill in October and 1st period was 28 days bang on then 34, 37 and now don't know when I am going to come on I think you mentally convince yourself you are as I did that last month when I was 37 days since LP and when I came on I burst in to tears i guess you don't realise how much you want something..am 37 days since last period this sunday so not sure what to do really wait for a few days longer in case my period is just really irregular?

any advice would be really helpful!

Hi Spartacus! It's really hard isn't it?! You do just start noticing all these things you never noticed before, and sometimes when you feel something you even wonder if it's in your head! I wish I could just relax about it all but I suppose when something is so important to you, you can't just forget about it all.

I don't know much about what you're asking but since it hasn't been long since you came off the pill, I would expect your cycle to take a while to get back to normal. These things are different for everyone, which is why it's so hard to know if what you're feeling is PMT or pregnancy or just your imagination! Drives you crazy!

The only thing I can say is that when I came off the pill a few years back, I experienced new PMT symptoms that I had never had before I went on the pill (like cramps).

Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe someone else on here knows more?

 

[Spartacus]

Hey Louise!

Fingers crossed for us both then! When are u going to test?! make sure you let us know!

I think I will wait for a while am 37 days from LP on Sunday so will wait and see what happens next week not feeling confident though as I got myself convinced last month I was and felt so dissapointed when I came on.

good luck xxxx

good luck girls hope you get a bfp!

 

[Louise81]

I don't know when I'm going to test. I'm the same as you - I felt convinced last time because I felt I had so many symptoms but I was wrong. This month feels completely different from last month but even so, it could just be PMT! Argh! I am trying to think 'I'm not pregnant' so that I won't be shocked when I get AF. I think I might see if I can wait until the weekend is over and if I still don't have AF then I might test.

At times I feel so utterly excited but then I feel depressed at the thought of a BFN. It's such an emotional roller-coaster!

Fingers crossed definitely! Best of luck to you too. Don't know how I'm going to cope waiting. Need to keep busy! xxx

 

[Spartacus]

Exactly hun! I guess we should try and not think about it.....yeah right!!

Your right keep busy and hopefully by the end of next week we will either be able to move on and keep having fun trying again or.....

anyway have a good weekend!
