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&!

Can just about make it out. Possibly an evap line like you said as you took it apart. If its there then it should be more defined by sunday. I think ill do one tomorrow morning as AF is due tomorrow.

My cervix is so high today I almost couldn't find it. And it is soft. Trying hard not to get my hopes up! Only 7dpo...

Lauranne25 · 10/10/2014 13:02

ARGH. I promised myself I wouldn't use FR tests, and then I did yesterday (sudden compulsion!) and got what I think looked like a very faint pink line, about 2 mins after testing. Problem is, I miscalculated and thought it was 6 days till AF due, and it was actually 7 - so the test wasn't even supposed to work at all. DH thinks it's just a negative. 6 days now till AF due. ARGH. Really wish I hadn't given myself potentially false hope!

I'm still waiting for af ....feel like I could pop im that bloated and yet nothing. Just got to wait it out. I've got plenty to keep me busy this weekend to do hopefully take my mind off it x

Tammisaurus · 10/10/2014 15:34

I've been really on/off bloaty. No normal signs of AF yet though. Due tomorrow so we'll see what happens. Still super tired, constantly peeing, boobs and nipples kill and I get dizzy if I stand up too quick....although that could be to do with the head cold I have at the mo. x

hopefull2424 · 10/10/2014 17:47

New symptom alert ..... hunger, hunger and a bit more hunger plus feeling like I could cry about anything. :)

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 10/10/2014 17:56

Hopeful I am starving today! I woke up, starving, ate breakfast, tracing, huge piece of choc cake at 10.30, starving for lunch at 12, starving at about 4pm, had a biscuit and still starving now!

Alisvolatpropiis · 10/10/2014 18:02

Still waiting for AF.

Part of me is reluctant to test after BFN the day before it was due last weekend. It seems such a waste of money when it didn't yield the answer I want it to.

Lauranne25 · 10/10/2014 18:37

I am SO hungry all the time!

hopefull2424 · 10/10/2014 18:49

Ohh alis have you got any cheapie tests you can try??
Ive been starving in a morning and not bothered by tea time but today is been all day. Had my tea then dropped off on sofa for An hour. Not like me at all.
How many days has everyone got to af?

Tammisaurus · 10/10/2014 19:03

Past couple days I've been fairly hungry and finding myself napping. Which isn't me at all!!
Tomorrow is THE day....FINALLY!!!! Will my AF arrive?!
Place bets now haha!! x

Lauranne25 · 10/10/2014 19:03

6 days for me... got a friend staying over the weekend so hope that will distract me!

hopefull2424 · 10/10/2014 19:39

Fingers crossed for you tammi. Let us know if you test :) xx

Tammisaurus · 10/10/2014 19:49

Omg hopeful I've been so pre-occupied today with feeling crappy with this cold and napping that I forgot to go get a stick for the first morning wee! Nooooo!!!! If AF hasn't arrived by lunchtime (I usually start early morning) then I shall dash to the shop and probably overspend on sticks hahaha!!
I will 100% keep you updated though xx excited!!!!

hopefull2424 · 10/10/2014 21:17

I have almost ran out of sticks as well (im a poas addict) ive just ordered 20 more from ebay ..... but I do have one first response left that im holding out for wednesday if af has not arrived bu then.

fingers crossed for you :) xxx

Tammisaurus · 10/10/2014 21:22

Which ones do you order from eBay? I had a look at some but I'm always worried they'll be like fakes or something haha!

AnythingNotEverything · 10/10/2014 21:25

AF is still 2 days away and I've decided my eBay cheapies must be rubbish. I'm going crackers.

Alisvolatpropiis · 10/10/2014 22:30

No, no cheapies, annoyingly!

Smugs · 11/10/2014 05:48

I'm so glad this thread is here- how the hell does anyone do this and stay sane?! I've been cramping for three days no, and dread going to the loo in case it's game over - my periods aren't regular so I could now either be 2 days late or not due until Monday... so the sensible thing would be to wait and not get my hopes up but I'm already working outdue dadates and thinthinking how I'm going to tell my husband! I felt sick all morning and filled the car up with petrol today and the smell mademe hheave- just based on that in my head I HAVE to be preggers- AAARGH!!

Tammisaurus · 11/10/2014 15:18

Still no sign of AF yet today. I usually come on really early morning & am super regular. No signs of it either. Still not poas yet though. Still worried I'll just get a BFN. Should I? Or Shouldn't I? Someone tell me what to do because I can't make the decision hahaha!!

hopefull2424 · 11/10/2014 17:32

Tammi ...... I would say poas but then I'm an addict :)
Either way let us know what you decide. Keeping fx for you :)
I feel very much like af is on her way so not getting my hopes up until after af is late xx

Alisvolatpropiis · 11/10/2014 18:02

Tested today, got a BFP x2

Tammisaurus · 11/10/2014 18:18

Alisvolatpropiis congratulations on the BFP!!!!!

I am now a day late....still not even a sign of AF. If nothing by tomorrow I WILL test for sure!!

2down · 11/10/2014 18:30

Congratulations Alisvolatpropiis!!!! I still have at least 7 days until AF is due....and it might be more as I didn't write down when the last one started....
Not feeling at all pregnant today. Apart from being grouchy with DH, if that's a symptom!!! And feeling a bit sick - but I think that's just hunger!!!
