I need a rant....
I am in my early 30's and came off the pill 4 years ago, back when I was taking the pill, I would have a period lasting a day!
After coming off the pill, periods were regular, usually due the last week of the month, until slightly over a year ago, periods could be anything from 1 week early to 3 weeks late - the nurse put this down to stress of he job (I quit that job and I am now in a new post).
They I have calmed down a little now, but I am anything between a 28-35 day cycle, which is not helping matters.
I am due my next period on the 29th (according to my period calculator, as I quite frankly can't keep up with my periods given the amount of changes I go through from month to month) however, yesterday being the 22nd, I had an unexpected bleed.
I immediately I looked at my calendar and realised I am not due for another week.
(I hope I don't sound gross), I used a tampon, as I didn't not fancy any horrible surprises at work.
When I removed it, there was the smallest amount of blood.
I am sat here thinking to myself as I type that this is probably just an early sign that I am due to start, as I have bled previously before my period as a one off and then nothing happens again until I am due, but this time I think there is [something different, as I have worked out my BTTC and OD and things fit in.
As I am so impatient, I bought a test - I know I supposed to wait at least 3 days - but I cannot even think about doing that, even though I know the test is going to be a one liner (which it was, as well as the 2nd one which I did this morning.)
I have an "ache" in my lower left abdo, teeny back dullness, heartburn, (at least I think it is heatburn - it feels sharp every now and again right in the middle of my upper chest)
My ankles ache and become painful when I stand after sitting - but this could be because last week I wore my 5 inch heals after not wearing them for a while.
I have a slight headache - but I haven't been wearing my glasses at work (I am wearing them now)
I feel sick generally throughout the day and I am sleeping like crap (but these are not new things either, although I am feeling rather gassy - burpy wise.
We have been talking about babies recently and I could have have 2 children by now but things did not work out in the past and my pregnancies did not last.
I really want to conceive, but I am not sure if I am experiencing symptoms or if I am thinking so much about it, that everything that is going on right now is related to other things, such as the headaches being because of me not wearing my glassed earlier, the gas is from the can of coke, all the weeing, is just because I had 2 more coffees than normal?
Anybody have any advise on what they think and suggestions for how to calm myself down until the 29th - knowing my look, I wont even get my period on the 29th, i'll take a test which will be a one liner then start my period the day after.
End of rant and near story.... x
