In Need of Reassurance!

[russellmusclex]

Hey lovely ladies,

Just gonna lay down some symptoms that Ive had, see if anyone relates or has any they would like to add.. Hopefully they sound promising to the more experienced, although I know everyone is different!

I had my period on 05/07/2011 my fertile period was from 17/07/2011(going by calander and monitoring my CM, pain in left ovary and increased sex drive). I am currently 8 DPO due my period on 03 or 04/07/2011 and waiting to test. I am trying to hold out as long as I can and I need your help!

1, 2, 3 DPO - None
4 DPO - Mild cramping
5 DPO - Constipation, ovary pain and cramping
6 DPO - Severe cramping, feeling sick, increased jelly like CM & sharp pains down side and on boob and lower back pain
7 DPO - cramping, ovary pain both sides, pinching and poking, feeling sick, sore side and boob again, headaches, tiredness, lower back pain,white CM, reflux, loose stools (tmi; sorry) and trapped wind.
8 DPO (today) - cramping, pinches in tummy, poking feeling in left ovary, nausia, sharp pains, loose stools (tmi; sorry), CM very dry and white looking.

There has also been a few other changes, I am going through phases of eating then feeling sick, wanting some unusual choices of food(dont want to count this as Im not sure if its just me wanting a change at that moment haha), my face has a couple of spots, sometimes I feel stuffy sometimes Im having hot flushes, become more thirsty, peeing alot more, I am going through periods of fullness and bloating, I am alot more sleepy and the most suprising one is the loose stools as I have severe IBS and usually dont go for days on end. I feel as if AF will be here sometimes then it goes away but it is far too early (Im hoping)..

What do you think guys? Sound promising? I need some enthusiasm to keep me positive xxxx

I must say I had all the same symptoms as you with my first one (unfornately we m/c in march )
But when the period and baby symptoms are sooooo closely related I dont want to give you false hope!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

Gosh you are REALLY symptom spotting

All sounds promising though try to relax x x

Hi Russell,
I am around the same dates as you , just one or two days later af is due.
The last week of the 2ww is always he worst, those symptoms just seem to keep coming!!

But I have learnt from trying now for quite a few cycles, the more your sym spot the bigger the let down, and yes many symptoms are very similar to just af on her way.

So stay positive, relax, and try (easier said than done!) not to think about it = its all in the waiting game!!!
GOOD LUCK! xxxx

Hi Russell, Lots of symptoms there that sound promising fx for that xx

Good luck Russell!

The game isn't over until the witch arrives so try and stay positive and take each day as it comes.

Xx

Hope it's a good sign sweetie.

I have bad IBS and suffer a lot.

I had pretty much identical symptoms to you last month but the witch got me sadly.

Fx its a different outcome for you. Xxxx

Thanks so much girlies currently a couple of days till AF is due and I feel fine no cramping or discoloured discharge which is a very good sign. Usually I can tell about 3 days before and nothing so far but fingers crossed anything can happen I just needed a wee pick me up lol

I will keep you posted
