So it's 5+ weeks, which means that realistically I only conceived about 3+ weeks ago. But I am F@&%d!
It started with the worst head cold i've ever had, which flattened me for a week. Trying to shag throughout (cos we were still TTC or so we thought) was quite a challenge - I had actually whisper the alluring words "I'd better go on the bottom so I don't drip snot on you...."
During the same time my boobs were constantly agony. Oh yes, then the weeing started - every hour now, and getting up during the night too.
And I wasn't even positive yet! In fact I'd had a negative test!
Then last night I had a vomiting/diarrehea EXPLOSION. Went on all night, am very peaky today and can only take mouthfulls of the blandest food.
Also have horrendous lower back pain shooting through my pelvis. I wantt o go to sleep for a month. Did the washing up this morning and actually had to have a sit down afterwards!
How in the holy Hell can it be this bad when I only conceived 3 weeks ago??! My positive result was VERY positive so obvs my Hcg is quite high. But now I'm quite scared, tbh.
How can i cope with this? I have a horrendously hard job with 12 hr shifts but that isn't even my main worry. How am i going to cope with this level of horrendousness for the next two months? It seems like forever.
I honestly didn't expect my symptoms to be this strong (I kinda expected none as I'm such a sturdy mare who never gets sick), & I'm totally unprepared.
Have looooovely OH, but not being able to tell work/family is horrendous too. Had to tell my Dad today I'd had food poisoning as he was startled at my greyness/listlesness. How many times can I use that though?!
Oh I'm so overwhelmed. Tearful and wondering what the hell I've gotten myself into!
