Hi Ladies,
Perhaps I need to book an appointment at the asylum. DH and I Have been TTC for 1 1/2 years... I had a miscarriage last July at 6 weeks. I didn't know I was pg until I went in for a yearly pap and mentioned to the nurse that I had low back pains and intense pains in my left side, as well as a period that lasted for 2 weeks. She sent me to the emergency room where I was told I was pg but probably losing the baby, after blood testing and observation the tentative diagnosis was that I had miscarried an ectopic pregnancy, but it could never be determined for certain. So now you'll see I've developed an excrutiating attention to ANYTHING that MIGHT seem out of the ordinary where my reproductive system is concerned.
I have had O-pain ever since this incident, so it's pretty easy for me to tell when that's occurring. This month I have some remarkably odd symptoms.
O-day, had the pains in my right ovary which bugged me for a few days.
1-3 DPO I also got the intense lower back pain, walked every day to diffuse it. Felt mild cramping and otherwise just felt really different... I felt more curious and less stressed about my body, and more at peace deep inside. Not the moodiness I usually expect at that time... All the way through to 7 DPO I have twinges everywhere and starting at 5 DPO I can only eat small amounts of food at a time because I'm getting acid indigestion. 7 DPO, funny thing, my right nipple was very purple from when I noticed it getting dressed and a couple of hours later when I took a shower. It went away. 8 DPO on my ears are ringing and my eyeballs feel swollen. I also have a dull, constant headache behind my eyes even though I'm still drinking moderate amounts of coffee (it no longer sounds good to me in the morning. I let the cup get cold before remembering it, but I'm happier drinking a cup in the afternoon instead). It doesn't feel like caffeine withdrawals anyway. And I must have imitation crab dipped in lemon butter with a side of pickled beets. So I pick them up from the store and eat the ENTIRE package of imitation crab and a whole cube of butter between evening and the next morning. I'm partial to low-salt ritz crackers and graham crackers, too.
At 9 DPO, temp is up .2 more than usual - it's at 98.3. I attempt to put on my normally comfortably loosely fitted jeans and find that I have somehow put on 10 lbs overnight. I don't feel the least bit bloated or different, it's just that suddenly my jeans were different - I even checked to make sure they were the jeans I thought they were. My bb's wanted to fall out of my bra, and I had a hint of nipple tenderness. At work, my right middle toe "pinches" me so badly I yelp at work. On several occasions. (I am an admin and sit at a desk for my job.) Later in the evening my nose is just a hair stuffy. I clean it out with TP and from each nostril comes a spot of blood. I NEVER nose bleed. I also continue to have an abundant flow of O-quality cervical mucous, and when I ask DH he says he felt my cervix a little bit "a few days ago" but hasn't felt it since (we BD'd nearly every morning this month). We BD again that evening, and falling asleep I notice a sudden sharp metallic taste in my mouth which goes away shortly after I drink a cup of water. Also, could my sprained thumb really be irritating the nerve all the way up my left arm and into my shoulder? I have really big knots in my neck and shoulders. 10 DPO, size is back to normal, BBT temp was down to 97.1, only vague nipple tenderness, whaaaaat? Abundant O-quality mucous still, left eggs out of my breakfast. Not sick, just don't sound good. I have nose stuffiness and slightly huskier voice. I'm not tired or anything, just don't have the energy to sit up straight and would really prefer to curl up on the corner of the couch and watch DH play computer games. Normally this drives me up the wall, but I feel sort of feverish and/or drugged... like I'm stoned all day or something. I can't drive, I can't finish a train of thought, I'm writing numbers in terribly blatantly wrong columns and I'm being told to doublecheck my work all the time. Hot flashes off and on all day, followed by FROZEN hands. Right toes hurt. Left shoulder and arm shoots pain from time to time. My forehead goes numb for a moment, and my vision is not soooooo good, and it has something to do with my swollen eyeballs. Faint metallic off and on all day.
NOW - 11 DPO, temp is back up to 98.1 and I've been leaking CM all afternoon. I just deposited a big clump. Other than that, body, bb's are "normal" except I feel like I've been doing situps. Dollar store HPT shows BFN this afternoon, but that doesn't surprise me.
So... I appreciate being able to ramble and would love to hear what you ladies think.
