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&!

Fantastic Bustherb, congratulations Flowers

Plenty of BFPs on this board at the moment. Fingers crossed you send it my way Halloween Grin

Bustherb · 29/10/2014 14:49

I've got some news girls!!!! Ive got my positive test and pregnant!! Xxxxxxx

EmbarrassedPossessed · 29/10/2014 09:34

It's possible, but I wouldn't know as I don't keep track of anything to tell. In a way I want AF to arrive so I can try again!

IceLemonGin · 29/10/2014 07:55

Oh Embarrassed. Could you have ov later this cycle?

IceLemonGin · 29/10/2014 07:52

Hope you get your bfp when you next test Confused I have heard that some people don't see a positive for quite a while.

Oh Emz how frustrating. I had a cycle exactly like that last year.

Bust I have a sore throat too...I've dosed up on vitamin c this morning. You've just reminded me to take my folic acid too Smile

AF arrived last night. Bang on time. I am surprisingly OK about it. Was hoping to fall pregnant this month as it was my first cycle since we got married. Hopefully next month!

EmbarrassedPossessed · 29/10/2014 07:52

So, 4 days late. Did a test which came back negative. So now just thinking that AF is late because I'm stressed out! So disappointing.

Bustherb · 28/10/2014 15:47

Thanks girls! I have purchased some folic acid today!! Grin Awww Emz, it must be so frustrating for you Confused hopefully the blood test will give you an answer! I've worken up with not only a urine infection but a full on cold and sore throat ConfusedConfusedConfused af still hasn't turned up but I've got lots of CM. Xxx

EmzLou23 · 28/10/2014 12:15

Hi guys. Im 18 days late today making it cycle day 49 "/!!!!!! Just got results back from doctors of my urine sample and it was a BFN!!!! :( going in to get blood tests on friday as the nurse wants to see if anything else is causing my period to be soooooo late "/! Frustrating.

EmbarrassedPossessed · 28/10/2014 09:59

Sorry to hear that Bustherb, hope you start to feel better soon.

I'm 3 days late which is quite unusual, but I did a test a day before AF was due which was a negative. So I'm not sure what's going on. I'm trying to wait a couple more days before I do another test, but it's quite difficult!

I'm also taking folic acid as well, when I remember Smile

IceLemonGin · 28/10/2014 09:41

Apparently everyone TTC should tale folic acid. I take pregnancy vitamins which have it included when I remember

I'm sorry Bust, TTC really is hard. Months of BFNs really do take it out of you. We have been trying for 3yrs.

Had the weird shooting/poker up my vag again last night...anyone else get this?

Bustherb · 27/10/2014 21:13

It's so frustrating mum. My doctor was adamant that if your pregnant you will be getting a positive 4 days before af on the other hand he then said to come back in 2 weeks if it didn't come!!! He did give me this leaflet which he swears by for conception so will just see. Does anyone else take folic acid?? Xx he recommended me take it but it never crossed my mind to really xx

Mumwannabe82 · 27/10/2014 20:38

Aww bustherb that sounds awful, I also want to the docs today because I keep getting bad pelvic pain when I go for a run and they got me doing a pg test which was also BFN, not even near AF yet and I felt so low afterwards xxx

Bustherb · 27/10/2014 19:24

Thank you ma. I said I wouldn't get upset if it was negative this month but I could have burst into tears when the doctor said, instead I came home an cried for about 2 hours!!! ShockShock x

MaGratgarlik1983 · 27/10/2014 19:22

Oh Bustherb that sounds so crap - have a Wine and Cake and be good to yourself. Thinking of you.

Bustherb · 27/10/2014 17:22

Hi all, well I've been to the doctors because I've been in agony with my left side of my back, turns out I've got a urine infection. He did a test and it was negative. Told him about my bleed a week last Saturday and said it could have been a very very early misscarraige ConfusedConfusedConfused I feel so crap ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused x

crazypuglady · 27/10/2014 11:13

Well I was hoping to stay away from manic symptom watching and take it easy but there's something weird going on!

I took my last cerazette pill on 17/10 (yes, a whole 10 days ago!) and no af yet then yesterday I had a strange achy sensation on my left hand side about where I think my ovary is that lasted about an hour and since then I've been aware of my uterus. No ache or pain, I'm just aware of it.

Is this ovulation? It can't be pregnancy surely as I'd only be a maximum of 4 days! But it's been so long since I last ov'd I cant remember what it feels like!

MaGratgarlik1983 · 27/10/2014 10:21

4-5 dpo here and was woken up this morning by AF-type cramping. Sore bbs and tired today!

EmzLou23 · 27/10/2014 09:50

Hi all. Still no sign of AF arriving. Im 17 days late for my period now "/ cycle day 48 !!!! It's never been this long. Im hopefully getting my results back from the doctors today. Iv not tested for 5 days. Iv had no pains or cramps this week tho "/

IceLemonGin · 27/10/2014 07:44

We loved the idea of the drive through wedding! We got married on the balcony of our suite overlooking the Bellagio fountains and the Eiffel tower...was incredible.

My periods can be irregular too, they have been 29-33 days the past few months but I've had cycles up to 38 days. Your symptoms sound promising though, are you planning on testing again soon?

I did a test this morning...it was BFN but my period isn't late yet so I'm still hoping! Woken up with a headache, must be a symptom Grin

Bustherb · 27/10/2014 07:20

Oh that's amazing ice, we did a drive thru wedding which sounds dead tacky but I loved it!! I'm on day 30, still chance for af to come though as my periods can be irregular. Majority of the time my af is around 27-28 days but I have been known to have 35 day ones too although I can't remember if that's because I was counting brown CM as well and this time I haven't. How was your reception??? I have really bad lower back pain which I was up with last night but CM is still a white colour. My pain is just to my left which is random xxxxx

IceLemonGin · 26/10/2014 23:00

Bust we got married in Vegas too! What cycle day are you on now?

I'm due AF on Wednesday...feel pretty tired today and my lower back is achy. Hopefully not PMS related.

We haven't used OPKs or tried temping but may start. Will no doubt make my symptom watching worse!
