Manic symptom watching!

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&!

Pixa I had a really vivid dream last night and I very rarely remember mine. Very bizarre!

Pixa · 06/10/2014 16:36

I am convinced it is a sign! I very rarely remember mine but all week I seem to remember them clearly!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 06/10/2014 17:00

TMI alert...Slightly constipated, gassy, sore nips, heavy feeling in stomach, stabbing pains randomly lower right pelvic area, generic cramps feel like af (but only 3dpo), felt very flu like last night but without a fever...hoping it is all a sign!! or I am driving myself mad already and it's only cycle 1

Hi ladies! Kinda new here... Came off my pill 7 weeks ago and nothing has happened since. Not actively ttc as newly married and have so many things we wanna do first, however we have (largely) been careful apart from a few times we've forgotten there is no pill stopping us from becoming parents...

Symptoms I have include: sore boobs (never ever experienced this before!) low crampy feeling for over a week now (usually only have this on the day of AF) feel sick all the time, shattered (like sleeping 13 hrs a night and napping for a further 3 in the afternoon), headache, peeing constantly. SO bloated, I do actually look pregnant. BUT negative tests? Same thing happened the first time round - no BFP until gone 8 weeks. Currently awaiting results from my blood tests to determine my future lol

So interesting to see some of your early signs. :) x

hopefull2424 · 07/10/2014 07:11

Well all my symptoms have disappeared and outright bfn this morning so looks like im out this month.
Off to sulk for a while! :( xx

jbee1979 · 07/10/2014 13:09

Don't be disheartened - I didn't get a BFP until AF was 3 days late - even then it was faint. think I ov'd late cos I had a cold. you never know Smile

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 14:44

I'm 10dpo....this waiting is killing meeeee!!!
So tempted to poas but I know it'll just be a BFN
someone please just tell me a joke or something to take my mind off my crazy symptoms because I am driving myself round the twist.

AnythingNotEverything · 07/10/2014 14:54

Hello ladies. Finally, a safe place to unleash the crazy Grin

I'm on DPO7 I think. Funny tasting chorizo last night, smelly Gary's (glamourous, hey?), tired, funny feeling like my uterus is too big when I squatted down to clean under the high chair this morning, vivid dreams (normally remember nothing), and lots of CM.

BFN this morning on an IC. Testing every day now until AF - due Sunday ish but only third AF since DD was born so not set in stone.

Good luck ladies. The 2WW is tortuous.

AnythingNotEverything · 07/10/2014 14:55

Gary's?! WTF? I meant farts. Really glad to have to clarify that bit. Would've preferred to gloss over it. Oh well. Nice to meet you all Confused

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 07/10/2014 14:55

Driving myself mad symptom spotting and I'm only 4dpo!! First tww and I hate it! Haha

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:10

Don't worry AnythingNotEverything, that really did make me chuckle! I know what you mean though. Blush

wanttobeamummy2015 I am driving myself and my husband mad now...

More awful vivid dreams, sore boobs, waking up to pee, and just feeling odd. Not convinced I am pg, pretty convinced that the witch will be here on Friday. Didn't test today, but going to test tomorrow to put my mind at ease.

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/10/2014 19:28

What does dpo mean?

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:29

No such thing as tmi in this thread! Smile
I'm off to Tesco now.....I'm soooo tempted to buy some tests! Eeeek!!! I've resisted so far but I'm caving in! Helllllp!

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:30

Days post ovulation

Alisvolatpropiis · 07/10/2014 19:31

Thanks Tammi Smile

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:32

I caved, I have two in my bathroom now. I will probably test in the morning, even though it's early... So bad!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 07/10/2014 19:33

pixa when are you going to test?

Pixa · 07/10/2014 19:40

Well, I have a 26 day cycle, due on Friday, and I am pretty sure I ovulate earlier in the month, so would be over 10dpo. I would think I will either test first urine tomorrow (unless I can hold off and then I will test when I am due on Friday). Hubby and I are going for a spa weekend away so would kind of need to know before any treatments or sauna/steam room or champagne...

Tammisaurus · 07/10/2014 19:57

I think I might get some...I wanna wait until Friday to poas though. Ohhh decisions!
You'll have to keep us updated pixa on your result! I could use a spa weekend after this 2ww hahah. Stressing myself out.

AnythingNotEverything · 07/10/2014 19:58

But some cheap tests from eBay then you don't feel like you're weeing on a £5 note a week before AF is due

Pixa · 07/10/2014 20:11

Tammisaurus you have so much more Will power than I do! I will keep you updated, I have a feeling (as excited as I am) that it will be a bfn, I don't think we will get a honeymoon baby but I don't mind! we will be blessed when it does happen. Spa weekends are the way forward. Since we have got back from the Maldives, everything has seemed so stressful. Husband has been ill this week, so we just need a weekend away. My favourite little spa, as rubbish as it sounds, is in Scarborough! My husband first took me there for my 21st birthday present and it's had a special little place for us ever since!

AnythingNotEverything I didn't feel like I was peeling on a £5 note until you said that, haha. Gonna have terrible visions of peeing on a £5 note tomorrow now. Oops! I do feel like I am speing £25 a month on expensive urine after taking prenatal vitamins. I had some bloods done recently, and my B12 was average, but I know I take my daily allowance, I just don't think my body can actually absorb it. Hence the expensive urine... Hah.

Kym134 · 07/10/2014 20:30

I am very weird as my contraceptive implant is coming out on the 22nd of this month and I am already obsessed even though we haven't started TTCing! How crazy am I.

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 08/10/2014 06:20

pixa at least if it is a bfn you can have fancy treatments, jacuzzi and champagne galore! Smile

Tammisaurus · 08/10/2014 06:43

Had another vivid dream last night. My AF came early in my dream....not happy!!! Lets hope its all lies!

pixa spa weekends are the best. Me & my partner always go to one near Walsall. Called Fairlawns. Its so nice! If I get a BFN I think we'll book up to go. Oh and I totally resisted buying sticks!!! Haha

Pixa · 08/10/2014 07:38

Bfn ladies, never mind. I am mostly okay. I am just slightly disappointed we didn't get a honeymoon baby. Anyway, nice spa weekend planned and plenty of DTD after AF. Wink I am sure our time will come and it will be blissful. Smile
