Hello Everyone, I've only just signed up but have been reading the forum posts for a few days and decided tonight I'd be brave enough to post!! So hi!

I already have one gorgeous son who is now 2 years 9 months and we've decided it's the right time to start ttc again. I'll be honest that first time round we took a risk one day (just happened to be day 15 and ovulation day I expect from the signs I was getting) and few days before I was due my af I thought I've been feeling exhausted odd what's going on - did a test and got a BFP. Whilst we were not actively trying and I'd just got a new job so I was worried about the timing, we were incredibly pleased and happy, even if a little shell-shocked!

So although this will be (fingers crossed!) our second baby it is really our first time TTC and I am full of questions, excited, fearful etc and feel in need of conversation with some other friendly ladies going through the same thing.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis when I was 18 and suffered from very heavy, long and painful periods until I feel pregnant. My cycle had been 36 days. Since having my son my periods had been shorter, lighter and less painful and for nearly 2 years have not given me much trouble (other than the PMT stresses making me a bit of a moody cow for a few days!) and had been 32 days.

However over the last 6-12 months they have been getting a bit heavier and more painful. Then my feb period took what felt like forever to start - about 2 weeks late, although I wasn't really tracking at that stage so it is a guess, but it definately took ages to start. Then I had 6 days of odd brownish bleeding (sorry tmi) and then 6 days of more normal red bleeding. During it I had strange aches and pains in one side of my tummy. I was pretty stressed at work at the time so just put it down to that. Then my next one took 42 or 48 days to start (depending whether you count from brown or red stuff!), but when did start was pretty normal and nothing out of the ordinary.

However I had been to see the dr as I'd had some streaks of blood in cm at time of ovulation in both dec and feb and had been feeling very very hormonal so just felt something was wrong. Some of this could of course be down to the stress but I was still a bit concerned. Dr did a blood test at day 21 (from brown bleeding last month) and it showed I had not ovulated. But things had been so irregular she said not to worry and we'd just keep an eye on it. I am booked in for another one on Monday now that I have had another period.

So when we decided to start trying this month (which we have a few times, sorry tmi, but fingers crossed!) I put the fears of not ovulating and long periods out of my mind and just thought I'd treat it as a normal month. Then Tuesday (CD16) I started feeling a bit sick, getting metallic taste in my mouth, and being so tired my eyes just wanted to close. I thought was nothing, or maybe down to ovulation, but still now CD18 I am feeling like this. It comes and goes but is definately there. I have also had flutters now and then in my tummy on CD11 had a very odd dizzy ill feeling day. I having been doing my temp but have been getting the EWCM when I would expect it. None of this has felt like an illness, more like when i was pregnant last time but obviously way to early in cycle to be getting these sort of signs.

Which is why I am worried it means something else...like I am having problems with ovulation or something. Does anyone have any words of wisdom?! Am I going mad!? And, when we first started talking about trying we both went up and down about it depending on our mood and the mood of our son but just a few weeks on I just want to be pregnant so much!

Sorry for the really long post...thanks for reading...will keep future ones shorter!

Good luck everyone who is also ttc and waiting to know if this is the lucky month.

chicken..sounds like you might possibly be pregnant! I'd say wait it out but it sounds to be so..I NEVER got metallic taste in mouth during ovulation and I got ewcm after ovulation a few days later and then sure enough it was when I was implanting and that is when the metallic taste started..so it might be so! keep us posted! you can pm me with any other questions as well sweetheart! and good luck!

 

[lilbabylove]

and Izzy, it's okay no one thinks you're arguing I just honestly don't believe this whole 5 dpo I think alot of people aren't COMPLETELY sure when they ovulate..if you get a positive on an opk you will ovulate within 24 hours later so sometimes can put them at 6 dpo..just my personal experience with them..charting is never completely accurate just when you feel the egg released and sometimes you can't feel it :\ which is why it's said to be better to bd up until and AFTER ovulation it is better

i actually think this thread has gone a little off track, as stated on 1st page its for the newly pregnant to post their symtoms so ttc'ers and have a look through and compare, seems to have gone more towards possible unconfirmed pregnancy symtoms...

sorry to be a pain in the a** lol maybe we could start a new sticky for people expieriencing symtoms but a pregnancy is not confirmed yet??

That sounds good Gossipgirly. Im experiencing symptoms but not confirmed yet a 11dpo and I would like that type of chat group.

 

[lilbabylove]

yeah that is so true gossipgirly..they need some place where they can go and compare symptoms and all. I'm still pulling for you ladies though and hoping all of you come back to this thread and post your s

 

[Chicken69]

Thanks lilbabylove - will let you know how I get on and hopefully be back to report a BFP and early preg symptoms when I know if that's what they are! x

 

[WindyOne]

I got my BFP a week ago at 14dpo. I didn't test before then because I know the tests aren't accurate. The line came up within a minute with fmu.

Symptoms: nothing until 11dpo, had one big cramp across lower tummy for about 20 secs. Was painful! Then nothing til evening of 13dpo when I was completely exhausted, as I sometimes am before af, went to bed at 7 and stayed there.

I thought I would 'know' I was pregnant, but I didn't feel it, and tbh I don't have masses of symptoms now (fx'd it will continue!)

that's my story, hope it helps someone through the tww!
