Manic symptom watching!

Hi all,

This is a place for all manic symptom watchers to share stories and convince themselves they have each other's symptoms! Nothing like a healthy dose of mania to ease the real anxiety and worry ttc can cause!

I myself have just recently started ttc and have seen myself go from a fully rounded adult to a manic symptom checker.
So today's symptom is a pinchy like pain in my left lower abdomen...could be wind...but no...as a manic symptom checker...I'm convincing myself it's a sign of implantation!
I will share a new one everyday. Please add your own...I want to have them too&!

But some cheap tests from eBay then you don't feel like you're weeing on a £5 note a week before AF is due

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:57

I think I might get some...I wanna wait until Friday to poas though. Ohhh decisions!
You'll have to keep us updated pixa on your result! I could use a spa weekend after this 2ww hahah. Stressing myself out.

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:40

Well, I have a 26 day cycle, due on Friday, and I am pretty sure I ovulate earlier in the month, so would be over 10dpo. I would think I will either test first urine tomorrow (unless I can hold off and then I will test when I am due on Friday). Hubby and I are going for a spa weekend away so would kind of need to know before any treatments or sauna/steam room or champagne...

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 07/10/2014 19:33

pixa when are you going to test?

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:32

I caved, I have two in my bathroom now. I will probably test in the morning, even though it's early... So bad!

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/10/2014 19:31

Thanks Tammi Smile

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:30

Days post ovulation

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:29

No such thing as tmi in this thread! Smile
I'm off to Tesco now.....I'm soooo tempted to buy some tests! Eeeek!!! I've resisted so far but I'm caving in! Helllllp!

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/10/2014 19:28

What does dpo mean?

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:10

Don't worry AnythingNotEverything, that really did make me chuckle! I know what you mean though. Blush

wanttobeamummy2015 I am driving myself and my husband mad now...

More awful vivid dreams, sore boobs, waking up to pee, and just feeling odd. Not convinced I am pg, pretty convinced that the witch will be here on Friday. Didn't test today, but going to test tomorrow to put my mind at ease.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 07/10/2014 14:55

Driving myself mad symptom spotting and I'm only 4dpo!! First tww and I hate it! Haha

AnythingNotEverything · 07/10/2014 14:55

Gary's?! WTF? I meant farts. Really glad to have to clarify that bit. Would've preferred to gloss over it. Oh well. Nice to meet you all Confused

AnythingNotEverything · 07/10/2014 14:54

Hello ladies. Finally, a safe place to unleash the crazy Grin

I'm on DPO7 I think. Funny tasting chorizo last night, smelly Gary's (glamourous, hey?), tired, funny feeling like my uterus is too big when I squatted down to clean under the high chair this morning, vivid dreams (normally remember nothing), and lots of CM.

BFN this morning on an IC. Testing every day now until AF - due Sunday ish but only third AF since DD was born so not set in stone.

Good luck ladies. The 2WW is tortuous.

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 14:44

I'm 10dpo....this waiting is killing meeeee!!!
So tempted to poas but I know it'll just be a BFN
someone please just tell me a joke or something to take my mind off my crazy symptoms because I am driving myself round the twist.

jbee1979 · 07/10/2014 13:09

Don't be disheartened - I didn't get a BFP until AF was 3 days late - even then it was faint. think I ov'd late cos I had a cold. you never know Smile

hopefull2424 · 07/10/2014 07:11

Well all my symptoms have disappeared and outright bfn this morning so looks like im out this month.
Off to sulk for a while! :( xx

Mrsgentle2014 · 06/10/2014 22:50

Hi ladies! Kinda new here... Came off my pill 7 weeks ago and nothing has happened since. Not actively ttc as newly married and have so many things we wanna do first, however we have (largely) been careful apart from a few times we've forgotten there is no pill stopping us from becoming parents...

Symptoms I have include: sore boobs (never ever experienced this before!) low crampy feeling for over a week now (usually only have this on the day of AF) feel sick all the time, shattered (like sleeping 13 hrs a night and napping for a further 3 in the afternoon), headache, peeing constantly. SO bloated, I do actually look pregnant. BUT negative tests? Same thing happened the first time round - no BFP until gone 8 weeks. Currently awaiting results from my blood tests to determine my future lol

So interesting to see some of your early signs. :) x

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 06/10/2014 17:00

TMI alert...Slightly constipated, gassy, sore nips, heavy feeling in stomach, stabbing pains randomly lower right pelvic area, generic cramps feel like af (but only 3dpo), felt very flu like last night but without a fever...hoping it is all a sign!! or I am driving myself mad already and it's only cycle 1

Pixa · 06/10/2014 16:36

I am convinced it is a sign! I very rarely remember mine but all week I seem to remember them clearly!

Tammisaurus · 06/10/2014 13:15

Pixa I had a really vivid dream last night and I very rarely remember mine. Very bizarre!

Pixa · 06/10/2014 12:15

Very aware of how achy my boobs were (and are) after taking off my bra last night. Another vivid dream too. Really want to test but I know I should wait.

Viewofhedges · 06/10/2014 10:20

Waiting for AF today. Pretty sure she is on her way, dammit! Good luck to everyone else. I'm over and out for this month, just need to go and cheer myself up somehow.

hopefull2424 · 06/10/2014 06:53

Hey all. Im am driving myself crazy. Still feel a bit of. Waves of nausea, very tired to the point of sleeping twice in the day yesterday and sore boobs on and off.
I can't stop poas even though I think the line im seeing is a evap line.
I have a hospital appointment on Friday so would like to have a better idea by then as I don't want them to give me any meds I shouldn't be taking.
I'm going to try and get some first response today or tomorrow Then test again Friday. If I can wait that long!

I seriously need to chil out and step away from poas for a while!

Puppydogstails1 · 05/10/2014 23:12

Hi everyone - going bonkers with it all too...8 dpo...felt a bit nauseous this morning (NOT the massive amounts of curry I had last night!) and really tired...Have actually poas - WTF?? AF due on Sunday...

Tammisaurus · 05/10/2014 20:07

My nipples are soooo painful today, no bra day for me today.
Have also been rather constipated (tmi sorry) over the weekend.
Still have 5 days to wait though.....please let it be my time for a BFP!
