Manic symptom watching!

570 replies

Babymamababy · 01/10/2014 20:15

Hi all,

This is a place for all manic symptom watchers to share stories and convince themselves they have each other's symptoms! Nothing like a healthy dose of mania to ease the real anxiety and worry ttc can cause!

I myself have just recently started ttc and have seen myself go from a fully rounded adult to a manic symptom checker.
So today's symptom is a pinchy like pain in my left lower abdomen...could be wind...but no...as a manic symptom checker...I'm convincing myself it's a sign of implantation!
I will share a new one everyday. Please add your own...I want to have them too&!

Ahhh how many of us are still left to get a BFP or our AF????

Gillian1980 · 17/10/2014 20:25

Hiya. CD30 and no sign of AF yet. Bfn today but am symptom spotting like mad!

Thick creamy cm, very soft cervix, nausea, non-stop weeing, sore boobs, exhausted, fluttery tummy/light cramps...

Fingers crossed it's not my mind and body playing ticks....

Good luck for everyone else waiting x

EmzLou23 · 17/10/2014 20:28

See i have watery CM and i dont feel my cervix, have no idea what to do!!! Im in work atm and im cramping on my left side like hell but still no AF :(

Gillian1980 · 17/10/2014 20:31

I googled for how to feel cervix and it was much easier than expected. Apparently it feels like the tip of your nose when hard and like your lips when soft.

EmzLou23 · 17/10/2014 20:34

I will have to have a go when i get home after work(tmi sorry!) Iv lost all hope in getting a BFP i reckon it will be a BFN when i test tomorrow! :(

Gillian1980 · 17/10/2014 20:42

I don't think there's such a thing as tmi on here!!

Fingers crossed for a bfp for you x

EmzLou23 · 17/10/2014 21:45

All i can think about is where the hell has my period gone...7 days and counting. Im at work and my boobs feel full and a kinda stabbing pain in them now and again, my stomach feels bloated too but could just all be in my crazy head. Who knows! Will test again tomo morning before work! Confused

Mumwannabe82 · 17/10/2014 22:13

Panic started, slight brown discharge when I went to the loo Sad

Tammisaurus · 17/10/2014 22:19

Thanks ladies. I will keep checking in on the rest of you mad lot haha and I'll be back with my next lot of symptoms and what not in a few weeks!! Loads of baby dust for all you lovely bunch. xxx

EmzLou23 · 17/10/2014 23:11

Oh noo Mumwannabe ?? do you think your AF will come? Iv still not got any sign of mine yet just cramping! Tammi i'll be seeing you next month with our symptoms as i reckon the witch is on her way to me soon! ??

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 05:53

So iv not been able to sleep at all and iv gotton up twice in the middle of the night to pee (never do this) i took a test and 5:45 as i couldnt sleep and its still a BFN Confused if i dont get AF today i'll be 8 days late!!!!! When am i going to start realising im not pregnant and symptom watching is making me crazy!!!

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 06:55

Well we DTD last night and had pink blood on clean up (sorry for tmi lol) but then this morning, nothing again, not even on wiping which is unusual for me because once I get a bit of bleed, its always on the tissue! My back is killing me this morning! 14dpo today I think so think I'm going to have to wait it out till the end of the day x
Really feel for you EmzLou, never felt so frustrated in my life!

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 07:57

Mumwannabe82 I've had exactly the sam this morning!!! I do sometimes get blood after dtd but after doing it this morning I've had quite a bit of bright pink blood and after my blood yesterday after wiping I don't know what's going on! Af due next weekend ConfusedConfused xxx

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 08:01

I don't think I realised how complicated our bodies are until we started TTC Confused

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 08:07

Bustherb - I'm not surprised you're confused being bang in the middle of ovulation and AF due x my body should tell me either way very soon but getting impatient x

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 08:58

I just don't understand it, my ovulation would have been last weekend, I've never had blood spotting in between, and after dtd this morning feel like I've come on a full af, no pain, no symptoms and not in my knickers just when I wipe, only a tiny amount yesterday and this morning there's a lot but only after I dtd and only when I wipe.... So confused. If it is the start of af, it's pretty early ConfusedConfusedConfused xx

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 09:48

Well i had about 3 hours sleep last night after being up and going for a wee hundreads of times. Im still confussed where my period at. Defo ringing the doctor on monda if AF still hasnt hit me. I just want to know either way it's getting riduculus waiting this long. Hello to 8 days late....

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 09:52

Bustherb were you on the pill before and what's your stats? I'm only asking because I came off the pill end of may then ovulated for the first time last month which caused me to come on ridicously early and started with spotting too so it sounds similar! Xx
Emzlou23 I can't even imagine what you are going through, I would be pulling my hair out by now xx

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 09:56

Mumwannabe Im actually going to check myself into the crazy house i think....iv gone mad! So im 8 days late and 4 BFN so im gona have to take it and say im not pregnant! Just maybe a unusually loooong cycle! :'( Sad

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 09:58

I've not been on the pill for a couple of years now for other medical reasons and the mini pill didn't agree with me. I just thought though, I live In wales so get the smear early, last time I had the smear the nurse did say the blood vessels inside me were sensitive, which is why I do bleed sometimes anyway. Just seems to be lots of blood Hmm I might book a Dr appt on Monday seen as I'm off work for the day just to get checked out xx are you still bleeding mum wannabe?? Xx

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 09:59

Jus to add to this, I'm only bleeding when I go to the toilet, nothing in my knickers xxxx

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 10:07

Absolutely nothing this morning, not on tissue, non in toilet or in my knickers, it was only last night after DTD, so weird for me!
I think you are doing the right thing going to the Dr bustherb, you need some clarification either way, hope it goes well xx
EmzLou if you can make yourself think that way, a BFP eventually would be a great bonus!! And if af turns up, no surprises!! Its just much easier said than done though isn't it!! Maybe we should all sign up for the crazy house till we know what's going on lolol Grin

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 10:17

Just a complete random question, do you count your dpo from day you of or day after? Not sure if my 14dpo is today or tomorrow lol defo going crazy now? X

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 10:29

I was counting from the brown mc I normally get but was told I should count from the day I actual bleed xxxx

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 10:34

Oh I mean count from day ovulated lol silly tablet xx
