TTC in May anyone?

[CSteele0084]

So I feel like I am going crazy. Please help my symptoms can be found below.

I know it seems too early to be showing these many symptoms that I feel like it is all in my head. But I also just do not feel myself.

What does everyone think?

CCoastgal,

I think it is perfectly normal to be feeling the way you are. My bf and have been NTNP for the last 10yrs. Every month I get so excited and think "Ooh this might be it, and then get let down again." I'm trying patiently to wait for a ring, but I'm already 30 and I just CAN NOT wait anymore. That's all this is on my brain.

As for your symptoms, I would wait it out. I know it is hard to discredit them and put the thought of them aside while you wait, but I think that is best. Keep a journal of the symptoms and how the progress, as you have above, and whether they let up or worsen. If in a couple weeks you test and get a negative and the symptoms have only gotten worse, take them to your doctor for further testing.

I will cross my fingers for you and pray that we will be sitting on together shortly!

Thank you for your reply CSteele0084. I am trying to to put the symptoms out of my mind. I think the one that is standing out really crazy to me is the fact that I am exhausted! More tired than I have been in my life and I have been sleeping fine at night.

10 years wow thats a long time. I think I am mostly afraid that I will not be able to conceive. I have always wanted a baby and the thought of possibly not being able to have one kills me so I am hoping that I am this cycle.

Baby dust to the both of us!! Hopefully this will be our month!

If you have not been to an OB lately, get recommendation for a good one from friends and family, and get your butt in there! (need to take my own advice!) Sounds like you need a checkup to make sure everything is functioning as expected. An ob will check for different things and make sure you are prepped and ready.

I know some people like to try to give a go on their own, but sometimes we need a little assistance. I am hoping to get an appointment for the beginning of June so I can get reassurance. For now...

I am the EXACT same have that fear of being unable and that anxiety prob doesn't help us 🙈🙈 regarding ur symptoms as I got older after ovulation I get horrendous fatigue, dizziness at times and nausea etc. I had ultrasound and blood tests and all normal just a high level of hormones after ovulation causes it apparently 😔 so I can never tell if it's BFP symptoms (which they haven't been) or just normal cycle symptoms. So totally understand where ur coming from. I am 4 DPO today and roasting hot and cramps but it's a guessing game 😖😖other posts have said 5dpo onwards is when implantation happens and symptoms so shall wait and see. Fingers crossed for us all 😘hope it's our months.

Thanks for all the BDing info. 😂😂pounce when u feel like it 😂😂👍🏻👍🏻I like that advice 😳😂I bd every other day till day befor ovulation, then panicked thinking needed to do it that day and then was like ohhhh better do it day after too 😂😂

Baby dust to all 😘😘😘

Any symptoms?

So I feel like I am going crazy. My husband and I have not been trying but we have not been trying to prevent it either. This last cycle it so happened to of occurred two days before I ovulated and since O day I have had some weird symptoms. Most likely all in my head but I feel different. Please help my symptoms can be found below.

days leading up to O- increased CM more than usual and crampy.
O day (Friday)- normal O cramps, and randomly bleeding gums(we were driving and I had the taste of blood in my mouth and looked in the mirror and part of my gum was bleeding weird)
1DPO- nothing really, a little tired and one time I cried without reason.
2DPO- crampy, constipated, had a dizzy spell At breakfast had chorizo and eggs everything was going fine until halfway through eating I took a bite and I wanted to vomit...I had to spit it out. Went to babies R us to get a shower gift for a friend wanted to cry... Was tired wanted to take a nap, and had a vivid dream about having a baby that night.
3DPO- overly exhausted, bawled my eyes out over texting my husband a text that was meant for my sister, increased urination, and diarrhea random feeling of nausea, slight headache, twinges in uterus.

I know it seems too early to be showing these many symptoms that I feel like it is all in my head. But I also just do not feel myself.

What does everyone think?

So my symptoms have been stronger.

I am now 10 DPO have fought the urge to test. I bought tests for when I am ready. I am still exhausted, I get daily headaches. I have had mild cramping for two days but no spotting and it comes and goes. My CM seems to have increased to the point where I feel wet all the time(TMI) and had to put a pad...Sorry. My bbs on the side are starting to get tender no changes to nipples or areolas. I also have a blue vein that has seem to have gotten more prominent on my right breast.
My main concern is that if I am not I do not know what is wrong because I just feel different. But I also have a weird feeling of being at peace the last couple of days which is not like me either. I don't know I just hope this isn't all in my head. LOL
AF due Friday 22nd. Not sure when to test though. Trying not to get my hopes up.

Copy and pasted from the DPO thread!

Cycle: #7
OPK: No, saving them for when I can pinpoint ovulation week more accurately.

Fertility Friend Predicted Ovulation Day - CD 18
0 dpo - sore nipples, watery CM,
1 dpo - twinging on right side, increased libido, sore nipples,
2 dpo - increased libido, sore nipples,
3 dpo - backache, sore nipples, breaking out (ugh zits all over my T-zone!!) (my libido has been on overdrive the past few days too!! Poor hubby didn't stand a chance.)
4 dpo - nipples not as sore today, slight lower backache
5 dpo - same as previous day
6 dpo - same as previous day (nipples are less sore but still there, backache is not as pronounced, but still there), feeling lightheaded/weakness in the afternoon, feel hot
7dpo - nipples are sensitive on and off (such a weird feeling), it has now been a full week of sore nipples (not breast) and they are always hard (wth?), odd twinges in the lower middle part of my abdomen (not quite cramping), backache is back
8dpo - HOT FLASHES throughout the day, less sore nipples but breasts are a little sore, had a vaccination today so I am also fatigued, ridiculous forgetfulness/absentmindedness
9dpo - continued absentmindedness, hot flashes continued, burning (possible YI)
10 dpo - a little spotting, irritable
11 dpo - a little spotting, hpt

ccoastgal, do you have a regular doctor? If so, try and get an appointment for the 22nd. That way you'll be covered either way. I am praying for you, girl! I hope this all works out in your favor, and you surprise us all with a BFP in a few short days.

 

[ccoastgal]

Thank you CSteele prayers help!

I am not optimistic at this point. Last night my bbs hurt and today nothing I just have really bad lower back pain. And because we just moved to the coast we do not have a doctor set up yet. I have to look at our insurance and see who we can go to. I will keep everyone updated. I also had more vivid dreams last night but one was that AF came... so who knows what that means.

I have to say thank God for this website because I can at least talk about my craziness and it gets it off my mind for a little bit.

That is what we are here for. Anonymous venting of your crazy!
