Using this as a bit of a diary, if it helps anyone or anyone can help me along the way that's an added bonus. I'm now 3 days late. I do have symptoms, they've not all been at the same time and they're not all happening now, some a week or so ago and some to present. About 2 weeks ago I thought I was experiencing thrush, it lasted about a week and then went (which leads me to believe it wasn't thrush at all) it started really watery, it felt like a combination of af coming out/wetting myself. There could be a lot of it or sometimes only when I wipe. As I said it started watery, but half way through it become very sticky and white..very little odour if any..I didn't tell DH as I wasn't sure as to what it was, so sex was a no go. For a few days I was so lightheaded, to the point where I stood up and my eyes blacked out and I felt like I was about to faint and had to hold the wall or lay down. I'd say its been the last two days where my skin has begun breaking out. I've never had spots and now I have 4/5 on my face. That might seem like nothing to some people, but for me it is a dramatic change. Yesterday and (only slightly) today I have had severe cramps where it feels like I'm about to come on any second..I've run to the toilet because it feels like Its going to happen..but nothing. I've been unusually gassy and yesterday and today have had on and off stints of diarrhea. My nose has been very runny at times for no apparent reason as I have not felt congested or coldy in the slightest, just random snot! I've been absolutely exhausted, gone out shopping and had to sit down for 10 minutes between each shop! I've got out of bed and after 2 hours gone for a nap, when I'm a passenger in a car I feel myself nodding off. That's about everything I can think of for now, the funny thing is pregnancy didn't pop into my head until a few days ago, and then I realised all this has been happening, so it's not even as if I've been thinking I'm pregnant and I've assumed everything that's happening is a symptom. Every other time I haven't been pregnant I've thought to myself "I am" "I feel pregnant" this time I'm completely going with the flow and funnily enough despite all these things happening I'm still not convinced. I've not taken a test because I refuse to go through the disappointment of it all! I'm completely just seeing what happens, obviously I would be over the moon to find out I am but at the moment I'd rather just wait and see. I'd love to hear if anyone is currently or has previously experienced what I'm going through, I'd love to hear your outcomes, stories and advice..thank you in advance, good luck and baby dust to all!!

Take a test

Christinedonna · 10/06/2014 20:13

I'm not taking a test for atleast a week

Sorry pressed post before I finished.

The only way you will know is by testing. Take a test then you will know one way or another.

Sounds promising.

Thesimplethings · 10/06/2014 20:15

Why not if you are four days late. Will be a reliable result if you are regular

Christinedonna · 10/06/2014 20:19

because if i take a test and its negative,il be testing non stop wondering why af isn't here. If I'm going to get a positive,it will still be there in a week.. maybe I'm the only one that thinks this way but if I'm testing and getting beg then a week later get af il feel at a loss. Id rather just wait, if af comes then atleast i can tell myself i didn't get my hopes up

OP posts:
Thesimplethings · 10/06/2014 20:31

Ok understandable, but at four days late you would get a conclusive result. The wondering/stress could delay af and I think lead to more disappointment. If you test you will know either way.

Thesimplethings · 10/06/2014 20:33

Sounds to me like you already have your hopes up. Wouldn't it be better to know either way, then if af still doesn't show in a weeks time you could test again.

That's what I would do personally.

Christinedonna · 10/06/2014 20:42

I'm gunna hold off for now. I'm not stressed at all surprisingly..just riding it out. Il test monday

Thesimplethings · 10/06/2014 20:52

I made the mistake of testing early knowing full well my tests didn't come up with my last two until a week late.. Now testing every day in the morning and still bfn at 5 days late but think I ovulated late so 14dpo... Driving myself nuts here wish I was more patient like you !

Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 09:33

This is the first time I've managed to wait!! Every other time ive been like you,if not worse! So I'm making the most of it. i now have a broken finger on my hands (excuse the pun) so I'm busy feeling sorry for myself atm

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 10:01

5 days late..on and off cramps and diarhhea continue, i managed to eat 5 chocolate cereal bars in bed last night, i dont know if that's an odd eating habbit of mine or a symptom! The heat is really bothering me!! Why cant it be nice and cool for my nap?!

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 10:45

Been up for no more than an hour..and am off for a nap already. Fatigue!

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 16:48

All of a sudden got massively impatient! I knew it wouldn't last long. I have butterflies in my tummy,i need to know! Figured there's no point in me going out and buying one now as i want to use my first urine of the day. Ive ordered two clear blue early tests that should be here tomorrow, il save my wee in the morning for the test. Im not telling anyone about my suspicions so I'm having to suffer in silence! Which is torture as i need to talk to someone before i go mad

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 17:36

Discharge &fatigue continues, very very slight cramps (which is horrible because it makes me think af is on the way every time) i now feel slightly sick and have a slight headache coming on. I just want to know now

OP posts:
angelaham · 11/06/2014 20:22

This month is our first month of trying, My period is not till next Tuesday but since Just Monday passed iv had cramps in my stomach, and horrendous headache and feeling really sick and then feeling hungry too, my boobs are slightly sore and when iv blown my nose tonight its been a bit bleeding, i am reading to much into all of these signs, but i don't normally feel like this before my period, i'm trying to pull myself together and not get my hopes up but its so hard, i cant wait till Tuesday as my periods come normally on time, good luck!!!

Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:30

Its horrible driving over thinking everything. But all i keep thinking to myself is that I'm nearly a week late, there has to be a reason behind that?! I'm eating so much but also feeling sick! Still have the rest of my symptoms.. diarhhea,light headed, bad skin, fatigue(5 hour nap earlier after just an hour of being awake), achey/twinges in my back, feel bloated and irritable. again though despite all this i just do not feel pregnant. Like it feels like I'm making it up. Very odd feeling

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:31

And discharge

OP posts:
angelaham · 11/06/2014 20:34

Hopefully your tests will come tomorrow and you will be able to test and find out, i'm hoping its good news for you.

Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 20:36

Thank you..me too!! Just panicking a bit i suppose, ignorance is bliss and all that,now its actually come to finding out I'm questioning everything

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 11/06/2014 22:19

Feeling incredibly sick and bloated! Bloated i can deal with but feel like I'm going to be sick. Still convinced this is more illness than pregnancy

OP posts:
Christinedonna · 12/06/2014 09:27

Just an update,am now a week late and all 'symptoms' continue. My first morning wee is in a cup in the bathroom just waiting for my tests!! Any change angelaham?
