I know, I know, humor me

I posted this on IM, but wanted to add it here, if even for my own reference.  And if you’ve been in my position, let me know what you think or whatever.  Here’s the basic question:

    If you had a miscarriage, and then conceived again, did the subsequent pregnancy make itself known earlier or stronger than the first?  I guess even if you’ve had two kids, it might apply…. I’m just really wigging out about my body right now, and, as usual, a bulleted list of Why.

  • Lower abdominal cramping last night.  Implantation, maybe? Or something?
  • Previously mentioned food aversion
  • Smell sensitivity.  I went into the garage yesterday with dave and gagged at the smell.  I went to the trash bins to see just what the hell had leaked — old yogurt? or cat litter? and both bins were empty. Dave? Said I was nuts, there was no ‘weird smell’ at all.
  • Stuffy Nose.  This I had sort of forgotten about. Okay, totally forgotten about.  This morning I woke myself up with a stuffy/sneezy nose and staggered to the bathroom to dry swallow a claritin.  I went back to bed, but it didn’t help.  I ended up taking a tylenor sinus pill on top of the claritin, and it was okay, but still stuffy.  While I was blowing my nose, AGAIN, I was surfing IM and reading my old posts from April, and saw this mentioned as one of my symptoms back THEN. Ummm, okay.
  • Nipple itch.  This never really went away from last time, but it seems to be worse, maybe?
  • TIRED.  Yes, I’ve been sleeping in — but not napping, and going to bed rather late.  And yes, I am always more tired after ovulation.  Today, though, I slept in until 10ish, hung out with Amy til 4:30 ish, and when she left I went upstairs and napped with the cat until just after 6.  I am up now because this is the first chance I’ve had to write it all down and do some research, but I am way tired, more than usual, for sure.
  • Queasy — just a touch… I ate some Tums before leaving the house today with Amy, and even took the bottle.  The last time Tums lived in my car was uhh, in April.
  • Zits — I have a bunch of new ones cropping up on my torso, like before.
  • Also, I feel like my um, region, has a weirdass smell. Like before. In April.

So, yeah. THat’s what’s going on. I’m what, 5-6 dpo, so it’s so EARLY, but I feel like I’m either going crazy.. or not. I don’t know. Anyone? Bueller?

  1. FWIW, not that mine was ever confirmed, but my symptoms (cramping, severe breast pain and general hormonal insanity) showed up at 4dpo.
    Good luck, sweetheart.

  2. I don’t fit the criteria, but I did start feeling symptoms a day or two after it happened (increased sensitivity to smells, tender breasts, sudden sushi/alcohol aversion… in JAPAN). So it’s possible. But then, I’m pretty sure I also felt the actual hormones that flooded my system at the moment of fertilization, several hours post-sex. I might just have a weird body.
