I am new to all of this. I've only just discovered what TTC means! Anyway, my husband and I did TTC for the first time this month. I think ovulation was around 24th May and was pretty pessimistic about our chances for the first time (we're not spring chickens). Then, on 31 May I suddenly had painful constipation (TMI I know), a painful abdomen, bloating, wind and generally felt rubbish. This then converted to the opposite symptoms of an upset stomach the following day. These more dramatic symptoms have now stopped, although I have continued to feel a bit "off" over the last few days, mostly now with bloating, some wind, indigestion and not really fancying food. I hadn't realised before googling these things curiously (a) that you can potentially have symptoms very soon after conception and (b) that symptoms aren't restricted to the obviously pregnancy related symptoms of vomitting and sore boobs in books and hollywood films. It is driving me DOTTY that I might just have a touch of gastritis (although I feel constitutionally quite well), or it might have worked. My husband keeps asking me if I feel "diffferent". What I'm finding frustrating is that the symptoms I have are not "different" in that I have had all of the above before from time to time. Just usually not all together, lasting this long or without some obvious dietary blip that can explain them. I'm not due until 9th / 10th June: another whole WEEK!!! Arghhh! I suppose I am just finding it a bit lonely because I can't talk to anyone else about it because I'll feel silly if it's a false alarm and, although my husband is lovely and supportive, it is difficult for him to understand and I feel quite responsible because it is my body and me who is meant to be interpreting it. Or overthinking. Or creating psychosomatic symptoms. Or simply wishing gastritis into something MUCH more exciting. Or whatever it is that is going on. And it looks like some of you might understand all of the ranting above...
