TTC first - looking for pregnancy symptoms that are not there?

[Ajords1]

Hi hubby and I have started TTC our first. I was on the pill for approx 8 years and then had the mirena fitted for around 10 months to try and get the hormones out of m system before we started trying. My first cycle after having the mirena removed was 34 days which made working out dates of ovulation trickier.

Now I am jus over three weeks after the 1st day of last period and I feel like I am started to feel things are slightly different. The only issue I have is knowing that many of these symptoms may be my body adjusting to life without contraception.

My boobs feel slightly sore, I have low back ache on and off and when I am standing I feel my lower abdomen feels like it's pulling/aching.

Any advice or stories of similar experiences very welcome!!

Hey!

Same position as you, on the pill for 10 years can off last month, had my withdrawal bleed and now waiting for AF! The last few days I've had a pulling/tight feeling in my stomach. Also had the lower back pain. Tonight feel very light headed like I'm going to faint and feel a bit sicky!

Obviously waiting for my body to get back into normality but just feel a bit odd!

That's probably not going to help, but at least you're not alone!! :)

Yeh I had some light headedness / faintyness too! I know it could be readjustment......do you think you could be? How long until you take a test (if you are going to) ??

I'm not sure lol! Don't know how this works! Woken up today with tightness across my stomach again, just under my ribs! Reckon I'll wait a few weeks if AF doesn't turn up!!

I have all your symptoms just before/as I ovulate. I also sometimes feel nauseous at that time too.
It's hard sometimes but I gave up symptom spotting as I was driving myself crazy not to mention it costing small fortunes in preg tests :)
Good luck and do let us know.

I know what you mean!! I was testing even though the logical part of me knew it would be too early even if I was!!

I just read so much and then I don't know if what I am feeling a pseudo symptoms! Haha!

Will keep you posted!! Are you TTC? X

Yeah I am :)
I had a bit of a break from all the ov testing and this is my first month back at it. My body isn't playing fair though - I ALWAYS ov on day 12/13 but I'm now day 16 without a sign that it's coming

:) at the Psuedo symptoms.

I know what you mean - I was almost becoming obsessive with ov tests and I think hubby felt he was in some sort of military operation having to do things on demand lol!! AF due tomorrow so we shall see what happens!!

F-tightly-X it doesn't come.

I'm still waiting for ov....day 19 in the frogslegs house and STILL nada :(
don't know wtf is going on
Still been DTD though - just in case I've somehow missed it :)

Oh definitely!! Only takes one of the little blighters! Would this be your first?

Keeping everything crossed but equally trying to not get any hopes up too high - much easier said than done!!

This is my first with my now Dp (his first) but I have 3 (much) older already.
It's the first time TTC though, with the others it just happened :)
If someone told me 5 years ago that at the age of 35 I'd be wanting another I'd of laughed hysterically as I thought I was finished with babies, yet here I am slowly turning into a nut job with each passing month :)

Still have FX for you.

So I did a test (as AF hadn't arrived on time) and unfortunately it was a BFN. That being said I am trying to take positives - seems that AF could arrive today (severe cramps/back ache this morning) if that happens it means that my 34/5 day cycle last
Month was my
Body settling back down and now seems to be back in the 29/30 day range! Also means that I can have a few guilt free drinks with an old friend on Saturday

Fingers crossed for next month

:( Boo BFN!

YY to thinking positive, a new cycle-a new chance ;) and your cycle length sounds better too.
Enjoy your drinkies on saturday :)

I'm still 'egg hunting' although it doesn't look likely that it's going to happen at this late stage so have to put it down to an anovulatory cycle, should be able to get a better idea if/when my period comes and what it's like when it does.
