christmas symptom spotters 2017!

[treetrunks]

2dpo today and I am EXHAUSTED! I'm sleeping at every chance I get, it just feels like I don't get enough sleep at all. Having a nasty skin breakout bleh, very watery cm, slight bouts of nausea, lower back pain and very emotional lol. So far all the classic symptoms of pms except for the fatigue. I've not had it this bad ever. Lol. FX for a bfp, I'd hate to have another negative!

I'm on the edge of my seat for you hehe I had a huge breakout and my skin was a mess for about a week just before I got my bfp and I never have that so I was thinking it was down to a hormone imbalance that was causing my cycles to be crazy too.

If it helps anyone the past few weeks I have had heavy over sensitive boobs. My areolas have definitely darkened which startled me one day then I thought it was in my head. Terrible skin break out and af-like cramps. Upset tummy and then got every cold symptom going haha

I hate how similar all that is to pms and af but some of it was different for me than usual. I also had a random brown bleed near ovulation and then another random red one a few days after af was due xx

Yes thanks lucky Laura my boobs have been killing me recently!
Not got any spots but had all kinds of weird cramps.
Spotting on and off.
Probably just AF on her way xxx

Thank you I've been feeling rough as heck but I don't care at all I'm delighted to feel sick and all the symptoms haha I must seem crazy. I have ordered a tiny pair of little neutral baby socks with a wee 3d style squishy bear on the front to wrap as an early xmas present to give to my mum haha she's going to cry, I just know it already! xx

 

[Melly41]

Thats so cute.....and great to see you are embrassing all the symptoms no matter how grim they are....well done you! Lovely to hear how lucky you feel.....you certainly deserve to. Hope the rest of us can share that luck later this month x

 

[linxminx21]

Well I'm coming up to my fertile week... I'm dreading it... Only because poor oh hours at work are mental atm and he's always tired. Plus we deliver Chinese on a Friday and sat till 10.30. He only gets Sundays off and with two kiddies already its hard enough to dtd lol!
Going to have to wake him up lol! Poor oh.

Its so hard when you are both exhausted.....how old are your kiddies.....would they sit in front of the TV for a bit will you dtd? X

12 and 6.... So not a chance in hell. I disappear the 6 year old pops up and the 12 year old isn't silly lol! It's a mission at bed time as it is haha!

 

[Melly41]

I have a 12 and 10 yr old and we can usually leave them playing xbox.....its so hard once theyve gone to bed as we are knackered! Hope you manage to get so BD in over next few days.it will all be worth it in the end x

 

[linxminx21]

Well you know your ttc and serious about it when your nose starts bleeding mid and you just soldier on... Thank god your in the position your in, stuff your nose into the pillow and let oh finish
Then say I can't move get me a tissue.... For my nose!

Still symptom spotting like a maniac. Trying to wait until the 21st to test as my cycles are a little irregular so this way I'm 100%sure af is late and not just one of my longer cycles. I am 8pdo and in the last few days I have been getting twinges in my lower abdomen. They're not really painful but aren't exactly comfortable either. I've been getting them on and off, sometimes they last about 20-30 seconds and sometimes a few minutes. The only way I can describe it is a pulling /tightening sensation. Today I have also been getting a similar sensation down below, not sure what that's about? My boobs are occasionally a bit painful but I get this most months so try not to take much notice of that. My oh also mentioned my boobs feel different.
Trying not to let myself get carried away as I know how disappointed I will be but can't help myself. I keep finding myself daydreaming about putting a bfp in my OH stocking and just considering all the ways I could tell him at Christmas

Hi Guys can I join in please....

I'm currently approx 9dpo so testing on the 16th if anyone else is? -

I feel spotty, grotty, bloated, watery cm, shattered, dehydrated - had some very mild cramps tonight on my right side that made me feel a bit sick - wow how attractive do I sound!!

Good luck everyone

 

[Alexis2017]

Will be hitting the tww tmrw...think I will ovulate today. Majourly bloated it's awful. Not holding out any hope as only dtd 3 times this month due to both our work patterns and being floored with a nasty viral bug/cold thing. We are waiting on hsg test still. It's been 6 weeks so hoping it will be just after xmas...then we can start a fresh for 2018. It's been 12 looooong months of ttc. Not sure how we will cope if it doesn't happen for us in 2018.

Good luck everyone still to test for December x

 

[MayBMore]

I've just been crying at a Christmas song ......emotional- tick haha

 

[treetrunks]

Haha MayB, I was crying last night as its ovulation time!! Apparently it can happen then too.
You never know Alexis, you never know! Xxx

 

[MayBMore]

Helloo peeps how is everyone feeling today? I've felt really rubbish but I think I'm getting a cold as well as all the usual symptoms. My O/H came home early from work and took over with the girls so I went to bed and slept for 3 hours...deffo a pj day today

Are you all ready for Christmas?

 

[MayBMore]

Treetrunks - it was "chestnuts roasting on an open fire" and I was giving my 2 year old a cuddle and just started welling up out of nowhere haha

 

[Alexis2017]

Yeah I get really moody and emotional at ovulation which means I end up going mad at DH for no reason then we dont dtd when its the best time...I can actually feel it happening amd I tell myself to stop it bit I end up causing an argument. ...what is that? I need to zip it and just get on it !

 

[MayBMore]

We are strange creatures aren't we! Myself and O/H tend to start bickering and arguing when we haven't enough

 

[Alexis2017]

Yeah I fibd it weird that my body makes me moody when I am suppost to be 'in the mood' ahhh !

[KatD]

I turn into a monster around O time. I feel like isolating myself, emotional, cry for no apparent reason for everything and anything, I get snappy, angry, irritated...EVERYTHING except loving and in the mood for dtd...lol cruel joke this is!
