Nausea? check! Tiredness? check! Hunger? check! Psychotically obsessive symptom spotting? check!

Hello

It's day 27 for me.

I've been weirdly exhausted all week, had sore boobs, gagged a couple of times (not normally gaggy unless PG), smell heightened, just proper sobbed at something (don't remember last time I did that), been dizzy/faint and hot and veering between permanently hungry and feeling no appetite whatsoever.

Have done 2 ebay cheapie early dip tests (1 on day 25, 1 this morning) - both negative.

Can't quite let go of it.

Ah well, nothing to do but wait for AF

morning all, am still up-duffed!! finding it very hard to accept it. dh and i have a deal, we are not discussing it until we have a scan, apart from work (for obvious reasons) wehaven't told a soul in rl (apart from lovely mners of course) havent even looked up my EDD yet. the problem is, its always glaringly obvious when i am up t'stick. when pg with ds i was in maternity clothes from 8w and uncomfortable in normal clothes from 6w, with my ep i was in maternity clothes from 5w. my mc's have all varied but my tummy always swells up a LOT! and my boobs turn into torpedoes. cant do up work trousers already. and then theres the nausea. put through a trolley yesterday and got a waft of chinese ribs, apparently turned green and had to get some air, so as well as a bad back i also have a tummy bug. colleagues also commented on how washed out and tired i look. loving every second,, every retch and every wave of exhaustion (went for a nap yesterday) please god, let this stick!!

daisy, mouse, fingers crossed!!!

i just keep telling myself that today i am a day more pregnant than i was yesterday. have feigned "putting my back out" so that my colleagues dont suspect what with me being unable to lift and sitting down at the till. have gone right off meat (did when pg with ds and the ep) and if nothing bad by monday then will call clinic to arrange scan.

omg!!!

I'll try on Monday which will be 10dpo....

OracleInaCoracle · 04/09/2009 19:14

i know, but the longer you leave it the more likely you are to get an accurate result. its better in the long run!

OP posts:

LackaDAISYcal · 04/09/2009 17:36

not sure I can wait another week!

Original poster

OracleInaCoracle · 04/09/2009 15:50

christ, no testing yet!! leave it another week. it takes at least 10d for hcg to build enough for an accurate-ish result, but to be sure wait til 14dpo.

LackaDAISYcal · 04/09/2009 15:43

lissie?

just looking for some advice on when to test and spotted this thread.

period was 17 august, but pretty sure I ovulated around the 28th (not unusual for me) and usually have a 25 day cycle, but I've not really been checking how long it has been since my period came back after DS2 was born last November.

When will it be safe to test? Like if I tested today would I get a positive result?

OracleInaCoracle · 04/09/2009 14:45

mouse, sounds good!

rainbows the problem is that progesterone post ov causes your body to react much the same way as if you are up-duffed, and you are so used to symptom spotting that you automatically notice these things, add to which the fact that your body has been through an awful lot and is probably still trying to adjust to the mc.

i know how tough it is though. xx

oh, and yes

OP posts:

rainbowdays · 04/09/2009 12:48

Help me please Lissie - You thought you were losing your mind but I am also obsessively symptom spotting. sore boobs - yep, pulling feeling in tummy - yep, tired - yep.... why am I doing this to myself, it is impossible that I am pregnant this month. I had hcg levels at zero following the last miscarriage and have not had sex. So therefore totally impossible.... so why am I not relaxing in this wait for af to arrive, why am I symptom spotting. I am cd 24 and period will arrive next week, but my body is driving me psycotic. WHY? Help me, please, slap me round the face and tell me not to be so stupid.

Oh by the way - have you tested yet????

mousemole · 04/09/2009 09:29

only day 20 and no symptoms except pulling in right hand side of tummy ?!
