Actual flu? 😐
Friday (CD 13) felt a tickle in my throat. Dosed up on vitamin c and went on my merry way for the day. bbt in the AM was 97.32. Afternoon opk was slightly darker than the other days.
Saturday (CD 14) woke up feeling slightly more “sick” than the previous day with post nasal drip. Afternoon had a BIG + opk. Extra EWCM that day pouring out (I know TMI). Forced myself to BD lol cause I didn’t want to miss my window. bbt in AM was 96.99.
Sunday (CD 15) O day. Felt somewhat better but the cramping on my left side was so bad. Felt like I had gas in waves, if that makes sense? Slight dry cough with congestion. bbt temp in the AM was 98.18. opk was still semi-dark but definitely faded, still registered as +. BD that night too. DH thought I was crazy 😂.
Monday (CD 16) 1 DPO. Definitely sick. Congested, dry cough with heavy feeling in chest, running nose. bbt temp in AM was 97.32.
Tuesday (CD 17) today. Wow, feel like I’ve been hit by a truck. Body aches with chills, running nose, coughing galore with chest congestion. No fever though. Finally caved and took Tylenol Cold and Flu. bbt this AM was 97.98.
Now what I’m wondering is, am I really sick with the flu or a cold? Or just what is up with my body? I’m NOT symptom spotting so before you reply “just relax and wait” please don’t cause that’s not what I’m asking. I’m looking to see if anyone got sick before O day, had a + opk and O’d. How does it affect your body? I’ve tried to research but nothing really points me in the direct. Just says “flu-like symptoms” before BFP. Not the information I’m looking for really.
