Manic symptom watching!

[Babymamababy]

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&!

Hi Bust. Im still not on AF yet. Im on cycle day 56 so that makes me 25 days late. The doctors dont think im pregnant but will do blood test on wednesday to see if they can pick anything else up that might be wrong! Will keep you all updated. Bust how far along are you? X

Awwww Emz!!! Have the doctors said what they think it might be? I'm 5 weeks 2 days although I keep checking if I'm spotting every time I go to the toilet. I am thirsty all the time, could drink pints and pints of water so that could be a symptom for those ttc xxxx

The nurse i seen was abit catty!! She thinks it could just be a late period, im not to sure tho. My left boob feels bigger on the side and hurts slightly but i dont know what to think anymore. Maybe im just having a off month! Ahh 5 weeks :) :) bet your excited!!!!! X

You never know Emz, my friend never did show positive on a preg test and only when she persisted with the doctor and had a blood test that she finally got a positive, 8 weeks on!xxx let us know how you get on! Yes I'm very scared/excited/nervous , I keep thinking what if I mc think it's normal to worry like that though xxx

I had blood tests at the doctors today and should get results on friday!!! Fx for me!!!! Bust think positive everything will be fine for you :) x

Hello all, thought id join in as i am quite possibly the most msc of us all!

Every vivid dream, twinge, cramp, bout of heartburn and nausea, headache and metalic taste in my mouth is a sign of being preggo to me! Having been preggo before i know that some of these aren't present till later in pregnancy but i am dead cert that i MUST be haha!
Last weeks test was neg, AF due sunday.. by the time i get to test ill have no hair from being so impatient that ill be thinking thats a sign itself!!

Allie i know how you feel. In the first week i was late every twinge, cramp, runny nose, backache, headache, metalic taste in mouth was for sure a sign i was pregnant! Now being 27 days late i dont have any off those feelings. Think iv gotton used to the fact that i must be having an off month ha! Fx for you tho! X

Oh Emz you must be so frustrated! Its tiring itself just finding the symptoms and running with them. Ive done so many tests over the past few months and each one negative. I know deep down to do one now will be pointless and neg again but im finding it hard to resist, just have to bear the 2ww! Fx to you too hun! X

Let us know how you get on tomorrow Emz xxxxxx sending lots of luck xxxx

Sending positive wishes. Good luck Emz!

One app said I was supposed to start AF yesterday so I did a test...BFN. Boo! Another said today so we'll see. I've been fairly light on AF signs but am remaining optimistic.

Happy Friday all!

Dizzy lemon and Emz how have you both got on?xx

Some spotting. Could be AF start, might not be. Wait and see I suppose!

I guess I should point out I'm on day 37 now with AF still alluding me. Still I would rather wait till a week is past my average cycle (33 days, so day 40 I suppose!) though this is the longest I've been with AF since I can remember.

I'm still feeling a bit 'blegh' and a bit fatigued, but tiredness is normal for me at this time of the year. I wish it were all a bit more clear cut :)

Place marking dh and I are just starting ttc. It's all very exciting isn't it! Guaranteed that I will end up manic symptom spotting!

Urgh I really don't know what's happening in there. I came off the pill on 18th October, had no withdrawal bleed. Before pill (10 years ago) I was 28 day regular. Had EWCM around 27th/28th October so CD10, does that sound right for ovulation? So now CD22, which should mean AF any day. I'm having some mild cramping, my nipples are incredibly sensitive (apologies for TMI), I keep getting tiny waves of nausea that go as quickly as they come, and I keep smelling this sickly sweet smell.

I'm trying to put off POAS as long as possible as we are taking it easy and I don't want to get my hopes up. I mean what are the chances really? I probably didn't even OV as it was so soon after coming off the pill right? We've said if AF hasn't arrived by sunday (CD29) then I will POAS, come on willpower, don't fail me now!

Sorry Girls Iv Not Had Internet For A Few Days. Im On Cycle Day 61 :( 4 Weeks Late For My Period And This Months Period Was Due Today But Thats Still Not Arrived. So No October Period & November Period Is Late. Iv Not Taken A Test Since I Was At The Doctors 2 Weeks Ago. Got Blood Test Results Tho But They Didn't Check For Pregnancy So I Have To Go Back. I Cba With The Doctor As She Was Ratty With Me So I Might Not Bother. Not Sure If I Should Do Another Home Test? I Would Be 7/8 Weeks If I Was Preggo So Surely I Would Have Some Signs In My Body??

Not sure where you are, but do you have NHS drop ins available to you? Or another doctor? Sounds like utter pap and I'm sorry you're having a hard time of it.

(nothing new to report from me...waiting till Thursday morning)

I live in north wales. Nearest NHS drop in place is over an hour & a half away. :( might do another home test today. Wil make an appointment with the doctor today but ask to see someone else! Im starting to think if i dont think to much about it my period will just arrive! Or maybe it wont who knows!!!! Dizzy are you testing on thursday? How nany days late are you?

5 days so far.

AF usually appears on day 33 so am on day 38. Got a BFN on day 33 (maybe a bit too keen!) and so am trying to wait a full week before trying again and then seeing a Dr regardless of result.

In the meantime, the symptom spotting continues:

• Snapping at things when I wouldn't normally
• Digestive issues continue
• Sensitive boobs
• AF being late.

I feel the same as you though. It was almost like I was wishing so much for it not to happen that, er, I made it not happen/

Fingers crossed for a nicer Dr!

Emz I also live in North Wales! Random!! Funny how different the nhs care is across the UK! My symptoms (if it helps) is really really sore boobs - can't go over bumps in the car they hurt that much and I feel a bit sick but not as much as I thought I might do, hardly anything really! I'm not particularly tired either although I'm the type of person that can sleep anywhere at any time even if I've had a 12 hour sleep, I'm a really good sleeper so maybe that's why xxx

Omg Bust Where In North Wales? I Live Near Abersoch!!!! I Feel A Fuller Feeling In My Abdamon But Could Be Im Just Fat ;) I Have Sore-ish Boobs And I Need To Wee Alot I Think Lol

Oh I'm on the east side near mold way. What's your plan now Emz? What about you Dizzy?xx

I'm (currently) living in Berkshire :)

But if you mean how's other stuff...still no AF. Still going to wait till tomorrow morning to test. I have some tests ready and waiting! The reason I want to wait is because I figure if I go to the doctor, then I can show that I've at least made certain I'm not just a bit late.

That said, I'm going to go to the doctor, regardless of result - losing an ovary has really made me worry about my fertility :S

Hmmm. BFN this morning and the possible beginning if AF yesterday. Am still booked in to see a Dr as i had cramping mid cycle which i thought was mittelschmerz but am now worried was a burst cyst. Gah!

My mum lives in Oswestry which is practically in north wales very random xx
