feeling strange.. - Trying to Conceive (TTC) Message Board

i'm definately not feeling myself, especially this past week. as some of you may remember, my nausea had returned this past week. i went back on my calander to compare dates that the nausea had started in previous months.

may - cd 20 -31
june - cd 22 - cd 1
july (my 56 day cycle) - cd 25 - 48
aug - part of the 56 day cycle
sept - cd 21 (just a few days here and there)
oct - cd 13

my last period, was 09/14 (cd1.) my period was very light all week (as in one pad a day.. but i didn't keep the same pad on all day, but i could have.) i typically am heavy the 2nd and 3rd day, and i taper off within a few more days. but it was consistant very light light flow from cd1-4, cd5 was i'd say a medium flow (much like the typical first day for me) and back to very light.

its a few days before the nausea typically starts. i actually vomitted on cd 13 (09/26) in the morning. nauseas all week until this sunday (cd 22) i literally felt sick to my stomach, i plopped myself on the couch ALL day. i just felt horrible, like all day. my bbs have been hurting, they feel full, my stomach feels full and bloated. and i am sooo tired. i just can't seem to get enough sleep!

i guess my question is.. because dh and i haven't been trying, i thought the symptoms would have mild, if not gone, but they are infact worse this month. they were at least tollerable last month. the nausea is so bad that i have to lay my head down at work for at least 10 minutes at a shot (taking me like an hour just to type this out even.)

i want to know what everyone's thoughts are. do you think my body's just back into the "tcc" mode even though we're not going to start until my next cycle? (af due around 10/15.) do you think its possible i may be pg? or do you think there's more of an underlying issue?

all i know is, i'm sick and tired of being sick and tired..

also, i have noticed more frequent urination and moments of dizziness.

i didn't test the last time i had my period because i wasn't late, wasn't trying, and really didn't think it could even be a possibility. i mean, i bled when i was supposed to (well a day early) if it was infact my period. but if it wasn't my period, i'd be like.. i dont know, like 8-ish weeks, which makes sense of when the symptoms started..

the nausea just comes in waves, heavy in the morning, until about 11, then it will just pick and choose like 15 minute intervals throughout the day to annoy me, and then i'm okay after like 4 -8, then around 9ish, it hits me again and i just have to got to bed or lay down.

i'm just tired of feeling this way (for no reason.) like, i dont even know when i ovulated, but we guessed and just didn't have sex, all but like once that entire week, which i know that's all it takes, but.. there are times where i'm feeling so horrible and i think "man, i have to be." then the feeling goes away and i think "ok, it's not possible."

the most frustrating part about this all, is i'm not even trying yet!

It sounds like your nausia may be related to your normal hormone cycle and probably doesn't have anything to do with TTC. I've had some bouts of nausia and vertigo, but certainly not as frequently or as long as you.

Have you talked to your Dr about it? It sounds like things are unpleasant enough to have your Dr look into it and make sure there's not an underlying cause. Perhaps you're having really bad PMS. That would be my bet. If so, there are some diet changes that may help control it. When I was younger I never had any PMS symptoms, but when I got into my late 20s early 30s I had a lot of hormonal issues and went on the pill to control it.

see, i'm in my early 20's. and typically, the nausea starts about the week (or week after) o'ing. this time, it started the week before i ovulated, and it was pretty severe. you would think if it was pms symptoms, it would be the week before af. i've had my family doctor look at it and she thinks its acid reflux, which makes no sense to me.

my gynocologist says she thinks i'm going through a hormonal change.. which is possible, but it seems kind of weird, being that i'm only turning 22 in november.

i don't know. last night i was just so miserable, i had a headache, my stomach felt yucky, my bbs could've conducted lightening, my back hurt, i was bloated and exhausted. i went to bed 2 hours before i typically go to bed.. i just can't seem to get enough sleep!

[[elainee, haven't heard from you yet, any thoughts since you've been following my saga and all i've been going through?]]

Cookie did you call up the doc? Or head to the clinic? I really don't know what to say.. It sounds to me like your body is going haywire.. maybe it's trying to fight off infection or some kind of bug?
