9dpo: diarrhoea and sharp pains in abdomen - PG symptom?

[Lish]

Hey girls!

Pidgeridoo - How did you get on with the GP?

Shepherdess - You just never know do you. Every pg is different I believe!

Thank you holli, KatD and all of you for your support

So, I'm 10dpo today... Temp drop this morning :/ but I took it after a restless night and an hour after I really "woke" (still in bed but tossing and turning for an hour before taking temp). Either way, I am still above the cover line, so hopefully we're still in the game. More diarrhoea this morning, then nothing. Went to work and had the weirdest cramps. Again, like wind but no wind was coming, they were on both left and right sides and in the centre, and they continued through out the day. Had a pretty stressful day teaching and have been extremely irritable and tired (could be PMS - HOPE NOT!). Also very hungry all day, and some hot flashes where I began to really sweat and become quite dizzy (unusual for me).

The other thing I noticed today was an abundance of creamy white CM. Not sure if this is usual for me as I have only recently started tracking CM but it doesn't seem too familiar at this point.... Just looking back, this time last month I was actually spotting, constipated and had a decrease in appetite - so quite the opposite of this month!!

A few spots (on my face) appeared today - which is not necessarily a good sign..............

Guess tomorrow's temp will tell me more. *Please stay up*

Any advice on CM ladies? xxx

 

[KatD]

I have heard that an early pregnancy sign is an increase in CM, creamy white, so I am definitely seeing this as a very good sign. I am keeping my FX that tomorrow's temp will be with in range with your other temps and that this lower one was, as you said, just due to lack of solid sleep.

The GP went very well thanks! My usual Gp has retired (I didn't have a clue, shows how often I go lol) and his son has taken over the practice He looks sooo young lol but he was great, very thorough, asked me loads of questions about OH and I's general health, about my cycles, how often we dtd, If I had family history of polycystic ovaries or thyroid problems, then booked me in for bloods tomorrow morning and has referred me on to the fertility clinic He also told me to get an app called OVIA? he said it was very good for tracking! Feeling so much more positive now, like i'm finally getting somewhere! Just to book OH in with his GP for his test I think I have read that lots of CM can mean pregnancy Also with all the pregnancies around me at the moment I have noticed that their skin has got worse so hopefully it will be a good sign for you! When are you going to test? FX for you!

 

[Lish]

Excellent news! Yes I have Ovia It's very user friendly and easy to track cycles. But I have since switched to Fertility Friend as it offers a cover line if you are tracking BBT (only necessary if you need to know if and when you are ovulating really - though Ovia offers an estimation based on your cycle length anyway).

Well, I just had dinner and had to rush to the toilet straight away! More diarrhoea and now tummy is making the strangest of noises. But no spotting or AF as yet, which is good. I usually spot at least a day, maybe two before AF. She is due on Thursday/Friday so I'm going to try and hold out until then. Of course that seems like a long time away so a lot could happen between now and then! But hopefully my skin, the cramping and the unusual bm's could all be good signs, you never know xxx

 

[holli]

I'm getting excited for you I really hope it's your month, I have loads of white and clear discharge it's always on tissue when I wipe that sometimes I think it's blood till I look fx for you xx

 

[Lish]

Thanks holli - Me too! Really itchy now - itchy belly especially. Have you experienced anything like that since getting you BFP? xx

 

[holli]

I have an itchy belly button and boobs but no where else xx

Hey girls - Well 11dpo today and my temp went UP ! yay! it's not dead high but it is over my cover line by over 1 degree! It could still come down again so we'll try not to get too excited but wahooo! Lots of creamy/wet white cm again and my cervix is HIGH and FIRM! Which is a good sign, right??

More cramping today (kind of a bit more AF-like :/ ... a little worrying) but not a dot of spotting - I'd be expecting to start seeing it by now usually! Diarrhoea seems to have gone now. Vivid dreams last night (not unusual around now for me) but I slept really well. Burping a lot and eating A LOT.

How are y'all getting on? xxx

Aw the temp rise and CM are very promising! I don't know how you haven't tested, you must have good willpower lol I have been feeling so unwell today, I ache all over and have a dodgy tummy that woke me up twice last night! I think it's probably just a flu/tummy bug thing though! I'm only 7DPO so I wouldn't be expecting symptoms this early on, but I guess you never know! lol Had my bloods taken today, I think around eight viles! I hope feeling ill won't impact on the results!

 

[Lish]

Thanks Pidgeridoo! Well more creamy white cm this morning, and a high, firm cervix... Temp still high. AF is "expected" tomorrow. I have collected my FMU and I have ONE HPT (FRER) in the house. Do I use it, or wait until tomorrow....?? So nervous xxx

 

[Lish]

Holy crap on a cracker!!!!

I am, aren't I??? Tested with OPK first as was so nervous - then FRER! Oh my god I cannot believe it !!!!! Xxx

 

[Ismejustme]

I'm 7dpo and started charting this month to stop my urge to test too early, but I can't help myself it doesn't disappoint me though seeing the negatives as I know I shouldn't be testing just gets it out of my system!
I've attached my chart if anyone wants to analyse it with any insights?! I can't compare on FF as I'm not a VIP
Good luck Lish x

 

[Ismejustme]

Eeekkk.....Yes you certainly are!! Congratulations x x

 

[Lish]

Oh my god thank you thank you thank you!!! I have no one to tell until DH gets home tonight!! Eeeek! My goodness me.

Isitjustme - Your chart looks good and you've timed bd right! FX for you! I am in complete shock. 12 months trying and here we are wahooooooo!! xxx

 

[Ismejustme]

Aww thanks. We've been trying a year too for me I think because I've piddled on so many sticks that if the day comes where there's two on a pregnancy test I will be in shock and disbelief! I should imagine there will be a lot of gazing on that stick for you today paired with a unwipeable smile. Here's to the next chapter for you x

 

[Lish]

Thank you so much lovely. I wish you the best of luck xxxxx

 

[Lish]

Okay so I've calmed down a little bit now - Currently having a break from blitzing the house - needed to distract myself somehow! haha. I will obviously post all of this in the BFP thread, BUT just for your info Isitjustme: This month I started taking Seven Seas fertility pills. I can't be certain that these helped but it's a hell of a coincidence that after 11 months of trying, the month I take these (one-a-day pills), it happens for us. You can buy em anywhere, I got mine from Amazon. Anyway I just thought I'd let you know that I think they're worth a try and they certainly can't do any harm Best of luck to all you ladies!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Shepherdess]

yay congratulations!

 

[holli]

Wonderful news I had high hopes for you as you sounded like me congratulations xx

 

[Ismejustme]

I've just been a bought some as I'm due to run out next week they are like the pill in size and nothing like the torpedos ive been taking, I like them already!!
