Frustrated
Okay. I apologize for the lengthy post, but any advice I can get at this point I will be extremely thankful for!
So my husband and I have been TTC for 2 years. I’ve been late a couple times, but never missed a period. The last couple months, Glow has been mispredicting my period start date, so I’ve mainly been using it to track sex and I’ve been using Web MDs calculator (which has been pretty spot on).
According to Glow, I should have started my period on 8/21. Web MD said 8/24. Of course 8/21 passes and no period. So I wait until Friday. Nothing.
I went out Saturday morning and bought a pack of two HPTs and brought them home. I took one on Saturday, and it came out negative. Me = frustrated.
I’ve decided to wait until Tuesday to test again if my period does not show up by then. My boobs feel fine. I haven’t had any of the regular period symptoms I usually do. But, I have been experiencing some strange things.
Acne - I had it pretty bad as a teen, but it has cleared up as I’ve gotten older. I have it on my chin and my breasts at the moment. And it’s like a rash. Even if I don’t scratch at it, it looks like I have a rash on my chest.
Smell - My sense of smell the last week or so has been ridiculous. I’m smelling things that other people aren’t and some of the smells are so overwhelming that they make me want to vomit. I’ve come close a couple times, too.
Acid reflux - Every time I eat, not matter what or how much, I get HORRIBLE acid reflux. I’ll start burping and I can feel it coming up my throat.
Nausea - I have been feeling sick to my stomach the last few days. And nothing sounds good to eat. I have almost no appetite because of it. I felt so dizzy earlier that I had to take a nap or I would throw up.
Runny/stuffy nose - The seasons are changing here in Ohio, so my poor nose has been going crazy. I always get a runny nose around when I ovulate, but it usually goes away after I’m done. It has continued since I ovulated. It fluctuates between runny and stuffy throughout the day.
Fatigue - I’m EXHAUSTED. I can barely stay awake throughout the day and feel like I want to tuck in for the night at 9 pm. This is abnormal for me.
Constipation - I apologize if this is TMI, but we’ve all been there. I’m pretty regular when it comes to #2. I’ve only gone a couple times in the last week. I feel like there’s something there, but every time I go to the bathroom, nothing comes out.
Frequent urination - Going #1 at least once an hour, which is more than normal. I can usually make it through the night without having to get up, but for some reason I’ve been going a lot the last week.
Again, I apologize for the long post. I’m just hoping someone somewhere has some advice or guidance they can give me so I can hopefully find some answers. Thank you if you’ve read this entire post. ❤️❤️
