symptom hunting

(cycle 26, day 22, 7dpo)

trying not to get my hopes up and trying to chalk up any symptoms to other things and causes.

1. cramping/twinges in the morning when i first wake up. chalking it up to just paying far too much attention to every little thing going on in my body.

2. nose bleed. well more of a bit of blood when i blow my nose. chalking it up to breathing in too much drywall dust or insulation fibres yesterday.

3. frequent urination. chalking it up to it all being in my head. this one is standing out to me the most. typically i only have to pee once or twice (including fmu) before lunch time and by 10:30 my count was up to 4... that's not like me and i didn't drink any more liquids than i normally do in the morning.

4. fatigue. felt it all day but chalking it up to just being tired from spending a good portion of yesterday not bundled up in a warm blanket and working in the chilly addition. it could also be a lack of sleep, but i feel more tired than pretty much every single day last week with the same amount of sleep.

my chart isnt telling me much. temp is pretty average so nothing is standing out yet. i'm really hoping this is it since i had a bit of a freak out last week when my doc had to reschedule my nov 23rd appt and the first possible date was for nov 7... kind of a "shit's getting real" kind of moment when i realized how soon i'd be talking to my doc about fertility testing (2 weeks at the time). since if i get AF and not a BFP, i'd only be on cd3/4, that doesn't work for physicals so i had to schedule the appt for later on and ended up just 3 days after the original appt so all was well with my psyche and the timing of everything right now.

hoping i'll have more interesting things to post about very soon......  fingerscrossed!
