Anybody really, really emotional?
| Thu, 10-09-2003 - 11:50am |
I was just wondering if anyone has ever been really emotional before they found out they were actually pregnant? The last 2 days have been emotionally draining for me, there isn't anything bothering me that I can think of either. Last night I just felt so overwhelmed by everything, just looking at my dog made me cry. Cooking dinner made me cry.... anybody out there go thru anything like this? I was pregnant last fall, and I remember one occasion,(not that long after I found out I was PG, I got so upset over not having anything to wear to dinner with my hubby and friends (I miscarried that pregnancy). Yesterday felt like that, I just couldn't control it. The smallest things set me off crying again! I'm amazed I slept at all last night, I guess I wore myself out. :)
If anyone has any advice or stories to share, that would help me alot. I did get what I thought was my period this month, however, it was early, and very short.... I have been feeling drained lately, my leg is bothering me, I feel like I need to eat more... I'm just going one day at a time here. :) Thanks for anything anyone has to say about this!

I started having problems about 7 days post ovulation. I think I normally get a little cranky, but not sure. Anyway, this time was *bad*...I was getting the shakes and was upset and crying. I wasn't sure if it was hypoglycemia or something, but I haven't had that in a long time. (I don't test blood sugar, since this hasn't been a concern, so I have no way to rule it out.)
The other thing that's driving me *nuts* is that my temps have gone up...I've been charting my temp and it looks like it *might* be triphasic (two days only, so I can't tell). But today I've been *so* warm, and I can't seem to keep cool. My hands feel a bit swollen.
This is only the first month dh and I have tried. I have a 7 y.o., so it's been a long time since I've been pregnant and I can't remember a thing about it.

You're not alone. I haven't been crying for 2 days but I have been extremely quiet which is not like me. I am so hoping to be pregnant that I am driving myself nuts trying to decide if I have pregnancy symptoms or "pre-PMS" symptoms. I too went thru a loss this year and last year due to miscarriage. After miscarrying twice we decided to wait a while before trying again to get our heads together (and insurance reasons too). We have now been trying for 3 months. The last time we conceived it happened on the 3rd month so I keep thinking that maybe I will be now too. Only God knows at this point. I am not supposed to start for another week. Oh .... another week of this anxiety.
I have bloating going on and extremely tired but is that just in my mind???? So ... you are not alone. Maybe we will both have an outcome that we are hoping for! Keep me posted.
Going thru the same in AL,

Good luck...I've got one more week to wait, too. >sigh<

I'm past my crying stage for now I think... I still get weepy at things, but it's not as bad as it was the other day. I too want to be pregnant, but I can't tell if it's all in my head or not. My cycle only lasted about 2 days, which is not like me at all, and since it's stopped, I've been having some really mild cramps... hopeful? My husband mentioned something to me today, the other day was the Hunter's Moon, it only happens like once a year, and now I wonder if it has anything to do with how I've been lately. I started about 3 days before I normally would have, and with it being so short, I just have no idea what to think! I can't really afford a test right now, so I just have to wait this out till next month, and see if AF shows. I lost my internet at home, so I'm going out of my mind not being able to check up here often... I'm at the library right now. :-D
Anyway, I hope things work out well for you, it's always comforting to know someone else is going thru the same things as me! Take care, and good luck!!

I have a 6 year old son who's adopted, so this is my (potential) first pregnancy. I started with cramping for about 4 days and was then really bloated for a little over a week but way early for it to be my period. I've been irritable as hell, and really REALLY trying NOT to be. Whereas I'm usually pretty patient with my son, lately it's been rough. His birthday was this week and he's been abnormally enegertic and it's driving me nuts! Poor kid :)
I'm only about a day late and ever really cared to track my cycle, so I'm playing the same waiting game. I'm cramping again, but never remember having cramps BEFORE my period. I've been really tired, but I also haven't had a full night's sleep in at least a week.
Hey, is it possible you had some implant bleeding??
Hang in there all. I know I'm not particularly patient with big unknowns so let's just stick together!
