Manic symptom watching!

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&!

Oh sorry didn't read that properly, I don't come days since ovulation because my periods are irregular, so we tend to just dtd every other day and hope for the best LOL xxx

Iv just got out of the shower and had a bloody taste in my mouth for a few minutes. My mouth wasnt bleeding tho. Another symptom thats prob in my head!! Iv been reading on another forum that people get BFP way after 10 days late or a BFP from a docs blood test!!! Crazy crazy Em!!!

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 12:13

That blood taste could be the metallic taste they say some
Women get while pregnant maybe? My friend got pregnant and didn't get a positive until she was 8 weeks gone. She did go to the doctors for a blood test in that time but so random how it took ages to come up on a test. Xx

BFN this morning but still no AF. I'll give it another 3 days like they recommend on the packet and if still no AF I'll test again. Strange because today I feel less premenstrual, I actually feel quite bright and cheerful!

2down · 18/10/2014 13:01

Spoke too soon, brown discharge just arrived. That's me then! Good luck to everyone still waiting, I'll be checking in to hear how you're all getting on!

Foxtrot7459 · 18/10/2014 13:01

7 days late now and still getting bfn, waiting for a frer to be delivered and saving up my pee for when it arrives!

Foxtrot7459 · 18/10/2014 13:09

I should mention my symptoms:

Bloated - it hurts to do my trousers/ jeans up and has been like this for a week.
Nausea
Funny taste in mouth - only yesterday and I ended up eating a lot of tic tacs
Achey and stretchy in the uterus area

I can't be imagining all these can I??

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 14:35

Ohhh no 2down!!! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you next month!
Foxtrot im 8 days late with no sigm of AF...im in work and i keep running to the toilet thinking AF has shown but still nothing, my symptoms are:
•Stuffy nose for the past week (could be a coincidence)
•headaches (which i rarely get)
•abdamon cramps really bad
•lower backaches
•short of breath sometimes
•boobs are slightly feeling fuller
•had bloody taste in my mouth few times
•i feel bloated but nothing to serious
•i just have a weird feeling in my chest too
•ovbs a missing period for 8 days

I could be imagining them all and as im worrying the witch is messing with me and staying away to wind me up! 4 negative test cant be wrong no?!!!

Foxtrot7459 · 18/10/2014 16:26

emz I've done 6 tests now including a frer and all negative - seriously fed up Sad

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 16:56

Emz I haven't got any symptoms whatsoever. I spotted yesterday and bled a bit this morning but my cm has gone back to normal and no more bleeding. My af due next weekend xx

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 17:01

Just to add I've got LOADS of cm but normal colour x

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 18:42

Iv not tried a first response. Iv given up!! :(

Mumwannabe82 · 18/10/2014 18:43

Well that's me out ladies, AF arrived this afternoon Sad but I'll keep looking back to see how you are all getting on, wish all you all the luck in the world x to the novbus I go xx

Tammisaurus · 18/10/2014 19:47

Wannabe, sorry that AF arrived for you too. Come join me on the novbus! I reckon November is the month for us hehe. Lots of baby dust! xx

EmzLou23 · 18/10/2014 20:35

Ahh nooo Mumwannabe!! So sorry to hear that! Whos left on here without their AF? Still got no sign of mine and as im in working serving food i feel as if i can hurl up at any minute!! "/

EmbarrassedPossessed · 18/10/2014 21:16

I'm not due AF till next Saturday, but I feel like I have pmt building, as I am getting ratty with my DP and irrationally cross with him. Usually a sign that AF is due, so I'm getting pessimistic about chances of a BFP this month.

Bustherb · 18/10/2014 22:18

Embarrassed possessed I'm also due next Saturday, ConfusedConfusedConfused xxxx

LumpyCustard69 · 19/10/2014 00:10

Sorry to all those that have had af arrive :(

I'm still waiting.........4 days late.
Heavier, fuller feeling boobs today (slightly tingly rather than sore) not my usual af sign.

When's everyone next testing?/due af?

EmbarrassedPossessed · 19/10/2014 00:19

I won't be testing until the day AF is due (next sat), if it hasn't arrived by then. Although I'm pessimistic as already described Hmm

EmzLou23 · 19/10/2014 00:36

LumpyCustard in 8 days late "/ tested 4 times and BFN each time im not testing again but if im not on by monday i'll go to the doctors as i'll be 10 days late :(

EmzLou23 · 19/10/2014 09:14

Morning everyone :)
So cycle day 40 - 9 days late -.-

Foxtrot7459 · 19/10/2014 11:20

CD 37 - 8 days late

LumpyCustard69 · 19/10/2014 11:50

Emz
I didn't get a bfp with my first pregnancy 'til 14 days late!! Had the sorest boobs going, could barely walk down the street without crossing my arms to hold them still!
I have had bouts of exhaustion, slight nausea, very high cervix, and no blood at all up there at all, and I normally do a couple of days before I come on. (sorry for tmi!)
I am convinced I'm upduffed, (no usual af signs, lots of pregnancy symptoms) which is unfortunate due to the fact that my partner is not wanting kids for about 5years (if then).
Going to the docs to get sorted is a good idea if you've still not seen af by tomorrow! Good luck :) fingers crossed for you!

EmzLou23 · 19/10/2014 11:50

Fx crossed for us foxtrot :)
