Short luteal phase

[Tree]

That's my plan too, I will pretend to the gp that I don't know my cycle and ask for a dating scan (this happens at 6 weeks). I'm irrationally scared of ectopic. A lot (but not all) of my cramping has been on the right, almost like o pain. Different to af.

I'm feeling like hell which is what alerted me to the fact this cycle may be it. Fatigue, cramps, very hot, thirsty as anything (averaging 1L of water per hour and still have a dry mouth), very hungry but just today I started feeling off some foods. Headaches, even had nausea a few times at night. Also VERY crabby!

If this wasn't a bfp it's a cold that causes every pregnancy symptom known to woman! Haha.

I have had one sided pain too but had it with other pregnancies too. I like to think its the corpus thingy doing a really good job. :-)

Your symptoms sound similar to mine, apart from I have more just feeling dizzy than headaches. I expect cold symptoms are exaggerated due to suppressed immunity!? I don't feel great that's for sure... Hopefully it's all good signs that heathy little people are being made and our bodies are focusing on that!!

Oh I forgot to say super super increased cm all 2ww. Usually completely dry thanks to LE.

I felt shakey and dizzy when I skipped breaky the other day, which never happens now since I'm used to it. So I started eating breakfast after that too.

Hope it's sticky or my 2ww is SO bad for diet!!

So good to know about the one sided pain. I was quite worried. But also glad it wasn't af like pain!!

I'm feeling very similar to both of you! I also have a cold which has been a little annoying because it's hard to tell symptoms. I've been quite tired though even after the initial wave of cold tiredness stopped. I've been having lots of hot flashes (having one right now haha!). I think i'm going to the washroom more.. that ones hard because when your so focused on symptoms I feel thats an easy one to make up! I was super nauseous in the afternoon for about an hour yesterday and have had some light headed/dizzy spells. I'm also having cramping, and some is also on one side - I remember this with both my others and freaking out about ectopic. I'm still so worried I'm not pregnant - weird as I've had 4 bfps BUT I just can't believe it happened so I'm just in disbelief. I also don't have sore boobs which is scaring me.. even though I never had them with DS1. I'm also only just 4 weeks today so it's still early for crazy symptoms I guess..


Anyways, so excited for both of you and really hoping and praying to see all of us together in December!!!!

i am finding I am exhausted by the afternoon, but start off ok. had very vivid dreams. I didn't have sore boobs with ds 1 or2, but do now. not that sore, different to af. they aren't bigger, but i expect that comes later. I know what you mean about thinking its all in your head I keep checking my second line is still there, like it'll disappear or something!

I thought I had a cold but don't think i do/did now... I had a sore throat for 2 days but those were the two days I worked, at my casual job which is one that requires me to talk pretty much all day. I didn't get time to drink much those days either. I am basically attached to my water bottle now, and dry just seconds after I put it down. It wasn't this bad with my chemicals which I hope means something good for this one.

Oh and I always had symptoms this early with both ds 1 and 2, both times they were what prompted me to test!

I've noticed I'm thirsty often too! I do remember this with DS2 now that I think about it... I am usually never thirsty so it's definitely noticeable. I get extremely sick with all day sickness so I always assume the second I see a BFP I should be throwing up instantly.. but I always forget about the 2 week period where I'm actually feeling okay. I'm just so used to feeling absolutely horrible that all these other symptoms seem like nothing to be compared to the sickness I get. I think my chest is more sensitive, it's just I noticed with ds2 that they were actually growing before a BFP. However, I had only quite BF'ing two months before getting pregnant that time so maybe that had a part to play. It's been about a year since I stopped this time. I've also noticed some back pain and crazy round ligament pain. The other day I sneezed and thought I literally ripped my uterus out! haha. Oh the joys

How many dpo are you? I totally remember the round ligament pain both pregnancies straight away too! I used to have to grip my belly down low at the sides and sneeze or if I was laughing sometimes too. Waiting for that somewhat unenthusiastically!

Lol laughed so hard at the comment about expecting to start projectile vomiting at the first sight of a bfp. Me too. With ds1 I was sick (all day and night) but only for 12 weeks, with ds2 it was the whole pregnancy on and off all day and night, I felt permanently car sick or really hungover. I've had a few moments already and had some food aversions, I'm really hoping this one doesn't land me even sicker!! Mind you sick to me shows a healthy sticky bean.

I don't know why 'they' say onset is at 6 weeks, I always felt Ill before that.

My boobs weren't sore this arvo so I was freaking out a bit since they have been, but now I feel nausea so I'm counting that as a win, haha. What a prize! ;-)

At this point I'm so desperate for this to be sticky that I'd take any symptom x 100 and be happy. I had what I feel was my last good sway this past month, and the 2ww has been full of cheats so I reeeeely hope this is it.

Oh my goodness I feel terrible!! The nausea is creeping in and the exhaustion. I feel internally shaking and just unwell. And the hot flashes are ridiculous! I don't reveal having them before. I suffered with both ds's with horrible all day sickness from 6-12 weeks so the fact I'm already feeling unwell is not ideal. I'm dreading when it properly kicks in. I just can't function or be a Mummy and it gets me really down. Hope this little trouble maker is a healthy happy sticky one. :-)

I'm 14dpo today so officially 4 weeks.. finally! I'm finding if I'm busy out doing something I don't always notice the symptoms, but at home I definitely notice just feeling 'off'. I have no idea when to expect the full on nausea because it's been different for both pregnancies, but I'd assume sometime around 6 weeks.. although I have the odd spurt of it here and there already. As I said before, I'm so used to feeling like complete trash when pregnant and constantly sick that I'm worried I'm feeling 'too good', even though I do feel off. For me, usually around 6-7 weeks I'm so sick and every symptom is full on that I literally feel like i'm dying.. so I just need to remember that because that's how I associate feeling pregnant and I'm not feeling THAT bad yet! Oh the joys of the constant worry. I hate this 12 week wait!!!

Do either of you think if I was having issues with progesterone due to LP that I would have had an issue already? Since I'm on CD32 right now (I'm never longer than 29 days max, usually 28) I'm hoping that means there's some good prog. hormones pumping!! I want to take another test but am scared it won't be darker and then I'll freak out!

I'd say from that respect you're def in the clear. And that was what two docs said to me!! Enjoy not feeling sick while it lasts. Get an early scan if you're worried. I had a friend who had terrible morning sickness with first two boys and nothing with third, all beautiful and healthy!!

P.s. My head is pounding and my hormones are already playing havoc with my emotions. Oh the roller-coster!
