I be here! Have spent day en famille, meeting my brother's new (skinny, gorgeous, perky, 22-yr old - he's 33) girlfriend, with no way of getting online. Am now watching Wuthering Heights and jonesing for my MN fix.
But now I am here, can I beg of you an indulgence for my 2WOOFLing? Because if I'm not updiffed with all the bloody symptoms I've been having then I'm going to sue my own body for false advertising and mental cruelty. So please, could people tell me what they think of these:
- 'Pink stuff' and womby flutterings and pangs at the exact time implantation would occur.
- Breasts became sore at same time as that - usually get mastalgia after OV, but it is always agonising stabbing pain in left nip and nothing else. Now both breasts are really tender (although left breast is slightly more painful, but it is slightly bigger) and is nothing like usual mastalgia.
- OPK test showed positive on day 21 and day 22 of cycle. Have never OVed so late before (although, of course, have never done test in past) and as ski pointed out to me, positive OPK tests can flag updiff.
- If this was ovulation, then the breast pain started 2 whole days before it. But mastalgia can only be triggered by the hormones 'n' ting that are released after ovulation or after implantation. So if I was ovulating, how come I got mastalgia before the hormones that create it were present?
- Have woken up for last 3 days feeling a bit sick (though haven't spewed) and v. hungry.
- Today, have been feeling as sick as a dog, really tired and nauseous and off my food. I haven't eaten anything different from usual or skipped meals/eaten more/eaten less calories, etc., so there is nothing to explain it.
- Have also been having really strong muscle contractions in my womb; and in the centre of my womb (as I've said before - all my pains and sensations regarding menstruation are only ever on the left). These contractions and the sickness feel like when I feel awful when it's my worst day of period pains, but without the pain and without any period (there's defo no sign of any blood whatsoever, so not R2D2 turning up early).
Things against:
1)am worried that if I am updiffed, have somehow dislodged it (ie ended it) by doing lots of arm weights at the gym yesterday.
2) Did an OPK test today and it was negative. So was I OVing late or am I pg but for some reason the test gave a neg for some reason? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
Don't bother punching me, I am stabbing myself in the eyes with a fork as I type.
So what do people think? Some of those could just be wishful thinking or coincidences, but the nausea, fatigue and weird painless central-womb cramping are weird and powerful enough that if I wasn't TTC, I'd be really worried about my health.
Help me, I'm going mad(der than ever)!
PS ski I've already got that calendar pre-ordered! I once got a picture put up on cuteoverload - what an accolade!
