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&!

Ooh, lots for you too - fingers crossed!

Yes - very emotional too! I cried about a pair of curtains on Saturday. My poor husband looked bewildered haha.

Hi everyone. Not checked this for abit. So im 13 days late making it cycle day 44!!!! Still no sign of AF coming :'( not done a test since tuesday in doctors and that was BFN. Hopefully i get the results tomorrow of my urine that got sent away. If that comes back negative then i need blood tests. I mean im nearly 2 weeks late...its killing me!!!
Iv not had any symptons for a few days tho. Boobs are fine, no bloating or cramping. No backache no headaches....nothing! I just want to kbow whats happening!!!! "/

Foxtrot7459 · 23/10/2014 21:51

Hi emz - sorry your still in limbo, so am I. Going to test in morning, will be 13 days late then, no symptoms other than being bloated but that could also be due to all the food I'm eating! Not feeling optimistic Sad

EmzLou23 · 23/10/2014 21:57

Ahh Foxtrot you've still not got answears either? Iv finally come to the conclusion im not pregnant and AF is playing a sick joke. Who knows...will keep you all updated with doctors results if i get them tomorrow. Fx to you all x

Bustherb · 23/10/2014 22:26

Ah Emz and foxtrot I hope you both get your positives soon!!! Sending big hugs!! I've had a few symptoms but today I've made my mind up that I'm going to have my af on Saturday. I can just feel it, literally feel like feign especially as someone I know has just announced their pregnant on Facebook, ConfusedConfused xxx

Bustherb · 23/10/2014 22:26

Crying *

Foxtrot7459 · 24/10/2014 08:58

Another bfn this morning x

EmzLou23 · 25/10/2014 02:04

Hello ladies. So still no sign of AF for me yet. Got no symotoms like i had last week either. I rang doctors for results and they wont be ready till monday so if o havent come on by then it will be 17 days late.....
im currently 14 days late for AF. I give up.

EmzLou23 · 25/10/2014 02:05

Ahh foxtrot another BFN :( so sorry!!!!! Is there still no sign of you AF coming in the next few days x

IceLemonGin · 25/10/2014 09:17

Can I join in? I'm 10dpo and I've been driving myself crazy since about 7dpo as I had sharp shooting pains up my vag. Plus frequent peeing nothing to do with drinking more of course

I have the same feeling that AF is coming that I get every month but I'm convinced that's just another sign!

I think Google is sick of me.

Bustherb · 25/10/2014 09:56

Well af hasn't turned up yet so I've taken a test (just a cheap sainsburys one) I think I can see a very very very faint second line depending on how you look at it but I'm not sure if I'm seeing things. So if af doesn't show up early next week I'll test again Confused xx

IceLemonGin · 25/10/2014 10:02

Oh that sounds promising Bust. I hope AF stays away and you get a nice strong line when you test again

Bustherb · 25/10/2014 10:04

Thanks ice, I just don't know if I'm seeing things because it is sooooo faint!!! My boobs also REALLY hurt too xx

IceLemonGin · 25/10/2014 10:37

Hurty boobs sounds promising!

I feel like AF is on the way which is typical as I'm meant to be wearing my wedding dress tonight at our reception (we eloped). Hopefully the feelings are implantation not the witch!

Bustherb · 25/10/2014 11:01

Oh congratulations ice!!!! Where did you get married??? We did the same and got married in Vegas!xxxx

Bustherb · 25/10/2014 11:02

Just to add I've just gone back to the test and the second line that I thought was there isn't anymore so maybe seeing things or maybe should stick to instructions and don't look at it after 10 mins xx

zoe264 · 26/10/2014 07:16

I've had aches like I usually get just before AF for a week consistently now, it feels like someone is trying to pull my ovaries out! I'm not due AF until 5th November... My lower back aches, I feel sick on and off and smells that I would usually like are making me want to throw up! I've gone off tea- can't drink it at all. I've also had (sorry tmi!!) creamy white discharge and shooting pains down below. I'm absolutely exhausted too. What do we reckon ladies.. Could I be?? It just seems very early for all this if AF isn't due until 5th November!

EmzLou23 · 26/10/2014 10:23

Hi all so im 16 days late and still no sign of anything. I did my last test 4 days ago when i was 12 days late and negative. Im waiting for my results back from my wee sample the doctors had. Everyone says my boobs are massive but they are big anyway so i dont notice it. Iv had no aches are pains past few days. And i have white creamy discharge somtimes. Sorry tmi!!!!!! Xx

Gillian1980 · 26/10/2014 11:13

Still no update here...

But (tmi) me and DH were DDT this morning and he said I tasted completely different down there. Not bad or anything but just different :/

Bustherb · 26/10/2014 20:30

Still no signs of af .... X

IceLemonGin · 26/10/2014 23:00

Bust we got married in Vegas too! What cycle day are you on now?

I'm due AF on Wednesday...feel pretty tired today and my lower back is achy. Hopefully not PMS related.

We haven't used OPKs or tried temping but may start. Will no doubt make my symptom watching worse!

Bustherb · 27/10/2014 07:20

Oh that's amazing ice, we did a drive thru wedding which sounds dead tacky but I loved it!! I'm on day 30, still chance for af to come though as my periods can be irregular. Majority of the time my af is around 27-28 days but I have been known to have 35 day ones too although I can't remember if that's because I was counting brown CM as well and this time I haven't. How was your reception??? I have really bad lower back pain which I was up with last night but CM is still a white colour. My pain is just to my left which is random xxxxx

IceLemonGin · 27/10/2014 07:44

We loved the idea of the drive through wedding! We got married on the balcony of our suite overlooking the Bellagio fountains and the Eiffel tower...was incredible.

My periods can be irregular too, they have been 29-33 days the past few months but I've had cycles up to 38 days. Your symptoms sound promising though, are you planning on testing again soon?

I did a test this morning...it was BFN but my period isn't late yet so I'm still hoping! Woken up with a headache, must be a symptom Grin

EmzLou23 · 27/10/2014 09:50

Hi all. Still no sign of AF arriving. Im 17 days late for my period now "/ cycle day 48 !!!! It's never been this long. Im hopefully getting my results back from the doctors today. Iv not tested for 5 days. Iv had no pains or cramps this week tho "/

MaGratgarlik1983 · 27/10/2014 10:21

4-5 dpo here and was woken up this morning by AF-type cramping. Sore bbs and tired today!
