Hi all! I'm going positively insane 🥺😫
My 2 ww is over today for my first donation 7and I got a BFN. I feel something happening in my body.
Background:
My husband is not as fertile as we would like so we have had to use a donor. We haven't tracked ovulation because I'm quite irregular and it feels stressful. I had my period on the 25th June, first donation on the 4th and then second donation on the 11th.
I don't get many symptoms before a period other than an annoying spot on my back every single time 🤣 my teeth which are bad anyway with periodontal disease and I have a benign tumor but I usually get what I call a gum flare a few days before hand. Some tiny cramps every now and again and a stomach ache the night before and after my period. I never ever get ovulation cramps. My periods are so heavy I have clots constantly.
Some days I last 4 days others there's a space where it stops for one day then starts again and lasts 5 days.

I ended up in A&E around 5/6 days after first donation, I was extremely hot, nauseous to the point I was sick and had the water mouth flood feeling and gagging. I had a bad headache and felt extremely dizzy. I never have face breakouts either and I had a huge painful (it was horrendous) zit on my chin.

I had cramps down below and felt genuinely unwell. I had my first ever nose bleed and it terrified me! It would not stop and it went all over the front of my shirt and I thought I'd had it 🤣😫🥺🥺🥺 We spent 10 hours in a&e to be told to go to my doctors as all my blood work (they didn't check for pregnancy would be too early) were absolutely fine, ECG was fine, no UTI they did a urine pregnancy dip and it was Neg.

I then tested around 4 times each day because I'm impatient and I stupidly joined lots of FB groups which I feel were a little like a cult 🤣🤣😫.
Long story short no positive at all since. However I stopped testing and just started to relax again, what will be will be; and then I started getting even more cramps like pulling and tugging sensations and I noticed in my PJs a light pink circle the size of a 50p.
Since then my nipples have been sore (I have been pregnant before but a long time ago, I don't remember much. I did miscarry. But my nipples felt asif I'd wore a wet t-shirt then stood in the cold, tops and bras irritated them) but my nipples don't feel like that as such more just aching and my left breast is sore even when I move. I had a breakdown the other day and balled my eyes out crying for no reason other than I was upset about the fact I was sure the negatives mean not pregnant, my husband was bemused but sympathetic bless him.

I have since then had the spots all clear up, the nausea has faded somewhat, the boobs are still awful, my cramps feel like they are an added part of my body now, especially when I'm laying down. My headache lifted. My temperature settled a bit. I was excessively sweating before which wasn't like me! I have a swollen pubic area and pain there like a crampy achey shock. I have started to feel like im constantly going to leak something and when I check there is fluid but it's clear, I can just see it glinting in the light on the toilet tissue. I have dry mouth, I am peeing constantly. I wake up all the time at 5:30 much to my annoyance every single morning. 😒. I'm grouchy and feel like I can't settle or get comfy. My partner said (despite my periodontal disease which doesn't usually smell to bad as I keep under control) my breath smelt like garbage 🤣 i brushed and rinsed with mouthwash but within ten minutes it was back! It lasted a few days and not sure if it's still the same. I have slight back pain and the cramps are worse whilst sitting up and over if that makes sense. My nipples are darker also!

I will attach pictures of the test yesterday and today, but any advice and experiences similar to mine would be so welcome! Used an old ring in the picture to try focus.

If you're asking if those pictures are positive then I'm so sorry they're not. It's very very normal to hyper fixate on every tiny twinge or "symptom" while trying to conceive. When was your period due?

ChloeLouanne · 18/07/2023 07:30

No, I know they aren't thats why in my post I said I've tested negative. It's my first time using this and see others add tests whether negative or not so just done the same 🤣 my last period was the 25th June my doctor told me to test this week for the first donation and then to just wait to see what happens with my periods. I just wondered if anyone else has similar symptoms. And as mentioned I wasn't really symptom spotting all of what I had whether pregnancy or something else were extremely strong symptoms x

Also as I added in my post they weren't twinges it was full on cramps and pulling which I never get. They were so obvious that when I'd move I'd feel them and go OH out of surprise 🤣 xx
