Hello ladies,
I am in that window of waiting and time seems to be moving at a glacial pace and I am slowly going out of my mind oscillating wildly between feeling. Retain than I am pregnant and then feeling that perhaps I am not and my symptoms are all in my mind.
You know when you consult Dr Google and you’re either pregnant or suffering from an incurable disease! Why do we torture ourselves by going down that rabbit hole.
It started with a very full on ovulation just a couple of days before we went away - usually have minimal discomfort
For the last fortnight I’ve been on holiday with my husband and have had some very strange symptoms:
Mild, very occasional nausea
Dizziness
Lower back pain
Mega bloating
Sore nipples (or salami nipples as my lovely husband has decreed)
A drawing/pulling sensation like period pains but more intense
And at about 10 dpo some brown spotting though that seems to have eased off over a couple of days
A rash that started on the tops of my thighs, spread to my lower stomach and back and around my armpits
All of these symptoms seem to come and go, with the stomach ache sensation being the most consistent.
My period is not due until Wednesday 26th and I tested this morning using first response early results and got a BFN - I realise I am far from out of the game and should probably test after the weekend.
Can the body really produce those symptoms just because you want it to?
Is a rash even a sign?
Any Netflix recommendations so I can take my mind off of it?
