Fatigue, lower back pain and cramps...?

Just out of curiosity, how many are experiencing fatigue, lower back pain and cramps like O? For the past few days, I have been so tired...basically died in bed last night, 2 hours before normal bedtime, and it feels like I'm about to crash again. I've also had an enormous amount of lower back cramps...like my muscles are give out from bending over and lifting all day. I assure you I don't do that, and am rather young and in shape so shouldn't be feeling those types of pains. And those cramps...sometimes I feel them on both sides of my uterin area, but most of the time, I feel them in the upper left side right around my pubic bone area. Sorry if this sounds crazy. I'm just trying to explain this as best as I can. Are any of you feeling this way? I'm about 8 DPO. I reconfigured my fertility chart w/Ovusoft, and they have me O'ing on the 25th. So, I know it's too early for a positive...or just not as likely for a few more days. Anyway...here is my chart. What do y'all think? Thanks a bunch!!

GL and baby dust every where!!

this is funny, because reading your post was reading about my last few days. I to am on the same cycle as you and would have O'd on either the 24th, 25th and I too am feeling some of the same symptoms. Some of my cramps feel like they are all over my uterus and other cramps are on my left side only. I normally am a person who stays up pretty late because my boyfriend works at a bar as a second job and I have to pick him up from work so I usually go to the bar at 12:30, but for the past two days I have not wanted to get out of bed even after sleeping for 10 hours and then after working for only 6 hours I come home and sleep for 2 hours and then go pick him up, today I woke up and after about 5 hours I took a nap for 1 1/2 hours and that is really not like me. I have also been very thirsty. Well I hope that for the both of us it all turns out how we want it to!!! Good luck!!

Angie....

OMG!! Yes girl! That is exactly what has been going on. However, with an almost 4 y/o, I don't get to cat nap after work, but my body sure does tell me to...tries to lure me to the couch for a nap! -lol- Anyway, I sure do hope that we find out soon why our bodies are acting so strangely. GL to you!!

Hey, Just wanted to let you guys know that I have been that way for about a month and a half now. went through two blood tests that came back negative, and still feeling this way. Sleeping at least 12-14 hours a night, and sometimes naps inbetween. Cramps on my left side mainly but occasionally i will get one on the right side, lower back pain..almost in my butt, and occasionally i will fill it in my hips. Fluid intake has also gone up as well as the trips to the bathroom. (I used to be one who would go maybe 4 or 5 times a day, now i am going like every 20minutes to 2 hours at the most. Headaches were also present for a long time, now i dont feel them as much, Maybe i am just getting used to them? I also had KILLER mood swings going from one end of the spectrum all the way to the other in a matter of minutes. Nausea usually at night, not too much in the morning, my favorite foods are no longer my favorites (macaroni and cheese sent me to the bathroom after it the other day). Hot flashes, mainly at night as well, my face broke out really bad and it just seems to keep comming, doesnt want to go away, and I am doing the same thing I have for the past few years and have been fine with. I can smell a smoker a mile away, and I used to drink some alcohol occasionally but at the beginning of when all this started happening (I didnt think I was pregnant), so i went to drink and couldnt handle that either and havent had any since. Every Doctor and Nurse I have seen, as well as family and friends, say that I am pregnant although two blood tests have come up negative so that is where im stuck. My next doctor appointment is on the 21st, I couldnt get in any sooner. (considering changing doctors for a sooner appointment though).

BUT GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!!!

---and i hope you dont run into the same thing as I did....

Emily,

I hope that when you do get to go back to the doc, that you get the answer that you want. Knowing what the docs and everyone else has told you, and my symptoms, perhaps there is some light at the end of the tunnel,eh? Well, GL and keep us posted!
