Karate kid, here is a copy of my original post on the 31st when I joined the forum.
Hi ladies! Let me introduce myself! I'm Liz, I'm 31 from Scotland, I have an 8 year old daughter (going on 18 lol) xx
Anyhoo...moving swiftly on.
My fiance and I are "casually" trying for a baby, more a case of if it happens it happens.
I don't really calculate stuff like ovulation etc. but this month I knew exactly when I ovulated as I felt it. We were very sexually active before during and after this even and I didn't really think anything of it.
I know for a fact I have a 26 day cycle. This has always been the case.
Anyway the "symptoms" I have so far (which are odd for me cos I normally only get cramping etc. straight before a period and no other menstrual signs) are:-
roughtly 3-4 dpo I had a strange metallic taste, like really bad, and nothing could take that taste away. This lasted for only a couple of days. I also noticed things were smelling WAY stronger than they normally do. I actually thought something was wrong with my car, but it was a tyre plant about 1/2 mile from my home burning tyres! It was stinking!
I have had quite bad morning diahrrea (yep, only in the mornings) and I'm normally a fairly regular, healthy pooper. also been getting cramps but have put this down to the diahrrea?
Bad headaches and tiredness.
I did have sore boobs but only a few days after o'ing, but they are fine now.
I am now 12 or 13 dpo (or thereabouts?) and I am getting this very very strange "pinging" sensation like the left hand side/just above my pubic bone area? WHAT is that? I have never had that before? Its like when you hit a nerve or something, not quite cramping, but not overly painful, just damn irritating. This is just now and again but is noticeable.
I am due AF tomorrow, but have no signs (apart from a bit of dropsy), I have no cramping, no sore boobs or nothing.
I tested probably middle last week but hey that musta been way too early, was just getting my hopes up i think!
Need some opinions, even if just on the "pinging" thing and look forward to getting to know you all so much better xxxxxxxxxx
Forgot to add that I don't really get any noticeable discharge and last week it was really white, thick (no smell) creamy texture then couple days later it was gloopy and clear, but loads of it, I thought I was getting AF early it was that "wet", then its gone creamy again but not so thick?
My only "symptoms" i have now is drained very easily but not overly tired, feeling SOOOOO bloated in my abdomen, not in my lower belly area, but above it. Like I've been winded. For the past few days over the weekend I've had some on and off AF cramps but have come to nothing and checked the position of my cervix which is very high and soft (to the point i couldn't find it easily!).
Nothing else really! one thing i'm not looking too much into is today fora little while I was getting a pressure pain in my left breast only, like on the outside fleshy area. My nipples are no different, although my boobs are fuller and heavier, again this could be coincidental with AF being overdue. So dont know!
