What do you guys think?

~Laurie~ · #1 November 6th, 2008, 04:20 PM

I was wondering what you guys think. I'm only on CD 20 (approx. 6dpo), but I've been feeling funny. I've been very bloated and irregular (sorry for the TMI!) the last 3 or so days, and today I'm having wicked back pain. I would swear I was having a bad case of PMS, but the witch isn't due for 8 days. I also had a lot of CM on CD 17-18, which is confusing because I have never O'd that late before. Am I getting my hopes up for nothing and my cycle is just crazy this month, or have any of you experience similar things before your bfp?

**Update
I had my usual coffee and toast this morning, and I am feel so sick. I have a combination of heartburn and nausea. I had this symptom with both of my previous pregnancies. I've never been so happy to feel so terrible. I am just worried that I am only pregnant in my head, KWIM? Can you get yourself so worked up that you create symptoms? I also had a few weird moments this week where I would (for just an instant) feel like I was going to pass out. Little moments of vertigo, I guess. I did write that off as being in my head, but now I don't know. I swear, if I am not pregnant this month I will never believe my body again.

I'm sorry Laurie, I'm not sure what is happening. Do you chart? What are your temps doing?

I don't chart, unfortunately. The back pain is just so intense. No change in position helps. I just feel off, but I fear I am not looking at this objectively.

You could go for a massage. That usually helps me!

lol. I've never had a massage from an actual masseuse before. I'm not even sure if there is one in my town (yep, it's a small town). Maybe I'll ask DH for one later. I am going to go lie down on a heating pad now.

sometimes I think pregnancy is unmistakable... but maybe 90% of it is in our heads? The first preg. symptom I notice is very blue veins in my breasts. I never experienced back pain in the 1st tri.
Now that you mention it though, I do remember a very increased amount of cm.

A heating pad and a massage from DH should do the trick!

I hope this is your lucky cycle, Laurie!!!!

G/L girl, i hope this is "it" for you!!!!

~Laurie~ · #12 November 7th, 2008, 03:13 PM

Thanks everyone! The back pain is gone today, but I'm still super-bloated. My pants are sooo tight! I feel like I've gained 10lbs in a week. There is no possible way that I would be showing or anything, and I know it is from the irregularity, but I can't help wondering if that is a good sign. It was always a problem during my previous pregnancies. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying as close attention during my previous pregnancies as I am this time, so I can't say for sure when it started.

Thanks again, everyone. You really are the best group of ladies. I really hope I get my bfp. I'm just so afraid I'm getting my hopes up for nothing.
