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&!

I was really hopeful this month ecause of little niggles I've been getting and period pain feeling too. Today though, I have a stomach bug. It will have been that then Sad

Oh no Emz it must be so frustrating for you especially ringing for an appointment. My symptoms today include being very tired and having sore boobs, af due on Sunday. No more blood spotting xx

Gillian1980 · 20/10/2014 18:42

Still no AF and still no bfp.

I saw my GP today (about something else but mentioned it while there). He said my symptoms sounded promising and that it is extremely common not to get a bfp until a couple of weeks after AF was due. He said leave it a few days in between tests (as if!!) and see him if still no AF or bfp in 2 weeks time.

Gillian1980 · 20/10/2014 18:43

Sorry you couldn't see go EmzLou, so frustrating :(

Gillian1980 · 20/10/2014 18:43

See *GP.

EmzLou23 · 20/10/2014 19:23

LumpyCustard 2 faint positives! Thus sounds exciting!!!!!!!! But then 2 negatives "/!!!!! Are you going to go the the doctors? Iv had no cramping no sore boobs or backache today. I feel totally fine so im still confused. I do have weird feelings in my chest like palpatations. Is this something with pregnancy? If im pregnant. Im going to be saying hello to 11 days late tomorrow i know it!!!

EmbarrassedPossessed · 20/10/2014 20:18

I've been nauseous all day yesterday and today, which is very unusual for me. I'm hopeful it's a positive sign, but I'm trying not to test until Saturday which is when AF is due... the waiting is just so frustrating!

EmzLou23 · 20/10/2014 21:49

So earlier i said i was feeling fine today....iv just had thee most painfull stonach cramps in my lower left side. Happened for a few seconds then stopped completely!! Arrrghhh!!

Foxtrot7459 · 20/10/2014 21:53

Still in limbo 9 days late but in Gran Canaria so that will help take my mind off it! Have one test with me, going to give it a few days before I use it!

How is everyone today?? I think af is on its way ConfusedConfused I've got terrible lower back pain and lower abdomen pain ConfusedConfused xxx

EmzLou23 · 21/10/2014 21:26

I went to the doctors today and told the nurse everything. She was suprised i was 11 days late. Anyway i did a urine test which was negative. Knew it would of been. So iv got to take a first morning urine sample in tomorrow so it can be sent of for more sensitive tests. If that come back negative they will do blood tests!!!! So still no closer to an answear :(

Bustherb · 21/10/2014 21:34

Oh no Emz, at least the doctors doing something about it! What a pain that they can't just do a blood test!! Xx

Bustherb · 22/10/2014 19:54

Gillian1980 · 22/10/2014 19:56

Yup. I'm massively bloated and uncomfortable :(
Hope yours feels better soon bustherb.

Bustherb · 22/10/2014 20:18

Thanks Gillian. It's so painful, has been going on since monday night, I'm going to the toilet normally and everything but just really really uncomfortable and my belly looks like I am pregnant!! Lol! When is your af due Gillian?x

Gillian1980 · 22/10/2014 20:21

Was due last Thursday, so almost a week late now.

Bustherb · 22/10/2014 20:24

Ah ShockShock hopefully you will find out soon Wink exciting!! I'm not due until this weekend, which day I don't know as I have Saturday in one calendar and Sunday in another!!! Xx

Gillian1980 · 22/10/2014 20:26

I got a very faint positive today so going to test with Fridays FMU to give the hormone levels a chance to increase. If I can stop myself doing it tomorrow....

Fingers crossed you get a bfp at the weekend instead of AF.

Bustherb · 22/10/2014 20:27

Thank you! Grin Do you have any other symptoms?xx

Gillian1980 · 22/10/2014 20:30

Oh yes, loads... Hopefully they're not all in my head!

Lots of nausea, tiredness, sore nipples, tender boobs, wind, cramps, weeing a lot.

The nausea is the worst though - huge waves of it.

What about you?

Gillian1980 · 22/10/2014 20:31

Funny taste too and gone right off some food!

Bustherb · 22/10/2014 20:44

I'm sure it isn't in your head, from the sounds of it you are probably pregnant!! Eekkkkk!! Mine are: tiredness (I go spinning normally 3-4 times a week, haven't got the energy to go at all!!!) had a funny turn at a class I went to last week - all dizzy and lightheaded and when I got home I couldn't move for an hour Confused Sore and itchy boobs, mega bloated belly , generally feeling unwell, emotional (I'm very laid back usually) having about 10 dreams a night. I did have the flu jab last week so I'm putting some of the symptoms on that, and I do dream constantly anyway but not as much as I have been. X
