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&!

Hello may I join? Wasn't ttc as already have 3dcs & a complicated marriage...
Missed 2 or 3 days off the pill at the end of my pill free week (dh knows this), unprotected sex during pill free week & missed pill days.
Missed pills 12th-14th or 13th-14th (this is also my 1st month without using both pill & implant), period like pains 15th & 16th, last night felt like someone jabbing needles into my uterus for a few minutes, followed by a few hours of feeling pressure around that area. Today feel very hungry, thirsty & hot & cramps pains on my left abdomen (not reproductive area but higher up).
I am back on the pill.
I know it would be too soon for symptoms etc if I was pregnant. (I still poas this morning though- Amazon cheapies bfn of course).
I go from thinking I'll be disappointed if I'm not, to thinking argh we'd need to replace one or both our cars with 7 seaters- but can't afford to! Etc etc
I go from thinking chances of actually falling pregnant must be so incredibly slim, to thinking I just know I'm pregnant, & it's a girl (I keep eating cheese & drinking milk- as I did with dd but not ds1 or ds2)- which again is crazy this early on.
Symptom spotting galore!!!!!!
Argh!!

Omg Girls....So iv not had a period since august, doctors think iv got polyistic ovarias and im waiting for a scan. Well just now iv gone to the toilet and as i wiped there was some slight pink blood!!!!!! Am i actually starting my period this month???? Iv never been so excited to see a period in all my life!!!! Bit gutted its around christmas time but at least i know iv not failed as a woman!!!!!

Came on within an hour of buying the fecking thing Angry

dizzylemon · 18/12/2014 11:12

shenton: sounds like a proper symptom to me, though I would wait until AF is properly late before testing, if that's how much it's costing you.

As for me? I've had a cramp here, some bloating there. My temperature has been steady for the whole cycle - no real notable dips or peaks which makes me think I haven't ovulated.

And despite that, because I am on cycle day 33 and have NO idea when AF is showing up AND because I brought a whole heap of the minimal cheapie (but reliable!) tests, I'm going to try tomorrow as I have some socialising over the weekend and want the green light to drink egg nog!

Shenton · 18/12/2014 06:13

Before I piss on $12.50 ... That feeling like your boobs are full of milk ... That's it right ? Due on Saturday ... Might do a test tomorrow morning

EmzLou23 · 18/12/2014 00:28

Hi all iv not had internet for a while!! Tammi im so sorry to hear that. Sending hugs your way.
Well iv not had a period for 4 months now!!!!!! Still waiting on the hospital to call me to make an appointment for a scan. I still get really bad stomach cramps every now and then but doctors say its just an egg trying to be released but ovbiously its not going anywhere!!!! Im starting to forget what periods are. Hope you all are ok? X

Bustherb · 14/12/2014 22:05

Hi ladies, how's everyone getting on? XXXX

Rebeccaelizabethxo · 13/12/2014 23:57

So glad I found this !! I'm going crazy on the symptom spotting ! Due my af tomorrow but she's not showing her usual signs !! Instead of my usual mood swings and dull aches I've got sore swollen boobs, bloating and non stop hunger, and here's the tmi, my cervix is a lot higher than usual before af. Fingers and toes crossed for bfp tomorrow !!!

dizzylemon · 13/12/2014 23:26

Hmmm spam.

Anyway I'm getting a load of cramping atm. Not really sure on my dpo as temping/cm monitoring has given nothing away this month.... Which kinda bothers me. Maybe it's a symptom ;)

Oh Tammi I am so sorry to hear your news, lots of hugs!
I know I ov'd this month (I gave in and bought some opk's as no AF but all other ov signs), so just need to wait now... I have had a few low cramps and my boobs are mega sore Sad and the lemony handwash in my bathroom is makes my stomach churn (the last one may be because I have had it for ages and sick of the smell now!) how about everyone else?

Tammisaurus · 11/12/2014 14:29

Tbh I had zero symptoms when I got my bfp haha! I totally thought I was out but I was wrong. I'm sure once AF comes and I know when & where my cycles are I'll be manic again haha!

dizzylemon · 11/12/2014 14:15

Oh no Flowers Cake

All the best for the next cycle. You might not be a 'manic' symptom spotter anymore now you know what it's actually like Xmas Smile

Tammisaurus · 11/12/2014 10:50

Hey ladies, unfortunately I am back on this thread. On the 2nd Dec I had a MC at 7 weeks. I was and am truly gutted. Its taken me a while to come to terms with it but I am in a better place now. Just waiting for AF to arrive so we can start ttc again. Hopefully I'll fall quick and have better luck next time.
How is everyone getting on? Any more good news?? xxx

dizzylemon · 11/12/2014 09:57

mrsdos: any more news? :)

MrsLowe14: Better luck with this cycle.

EmzLou23: how's it going?

MrsLowe14 · 05/12/2014 08:35

Bitch got me :( I'm out. Good luck to everyone else x

dizzylemon · 03/12/2014 11:08

More the merrier!

No symptoms other then this blocked nose I've had for a week. Probably stopping my incredible sense of smell that i should had. Darn it! :)

mrsdos · 02/12/2014 14:56

Hello everyone! I hope you don't mind me joining?
Me and the DH decided to start ttc in october and AF hasn't shown since I came off the pill, have heard lots of stories of others experiencing the same but getting pg quickly so everyday I have imagined a new 'symptom'! Today it's feeling really nauseous Smile glad I am not the only one

MrsLowe14 · 02/12/2014 14:40

Well I'm not sure, I've been on the depo so everything's all screwed up but if first got ewcm two weeks Saturday and then ovulation pains over the following 2-3 days. So I could be 16dpo or I could be 13dpo, or anything in between. Ugh I suppose I'll know in 9 months won't I haha!

dizzylemon · 02/12/2014 14:39

Might be worth doing a FRER, or waiting a week and trying again (if AF doesn't show).

hannahjanelin · 02/12/2014 14:32

I'm still totally confused. AF is due tomorrow at the latest, so with all the unusual symptoms I've been having I did a hpt last night and this morning, both BFN Sad

I also did an opk however, that came out very dark positive! So apparently I'm ovulating 4 weeks after my last period!

So confused!

dizzylemon · 02/12/2014 13:58

How many days late?

Just do it :)

MrsLowe14 · 02/12/2014 10:38

So I'm still here, my boobs are huge, sore and vein and so are my nipples, and I'm really not imagining it haha! Tested neg with a promatris cheap tests. Although I've since googled them and they have horrible reviews. No sign of AF. Dh bought me a clear blue digi but I don't want to waste it! Ugh I wish I could what's going on in there!

ChloeMana · 01/12/2014 22:31

My intestines moving** made no sense!

ChloeMana · 01/12/2014 22:30

Hey ladies so this morning my friend text saying she had a dream that all her teeth were falling out!! Long story short she has it whenever a close friend or family member is pregnant.. This is a sign yes? Haha my AF isn't due for another 9 days so not going to test until after its due. Can feel popping in my lower stomach too and slight crams which I'm sure is my intestines getting ready for baby.. We are so crazy but I love it!
