I thought a thread where we post just our monthly 'symptoms' might be a good idea. It might be an easier way than using our journals to check how we felt in previous cycles. So whoever wants to join in, please do (otherwise i'll get lonely lol) - just update daily or whenever you wish by quoting your original post.
CHARTING SYMPTOMS: APRIL/MAY
CD 1: (14 April) Temp low this morning. Tiny bit of spotting on & off through the day. Sore boobs, AF cramps, nausea in the morning, by late afternoon AF flow is here. Yay!
CD 2: Temp very low this morning. AF fully arrived: good red flow. Feeling tired and crampy. Better mood though!
CD 3: Temp low this morning. AF light today. Good mood & no symptoms other than sugar cravings! ~~ update ~~ Had twingy pains low down in my ovaries from early evening -- the same twinges i had on cd5 last month -- i think the follicles are gearing up already -- I hope i am not going to ov earlier this month! maybe i should cool it on the maca?
CD 4: Temp very low this morning. AF almost gone -- just a bit of spotting. Funny, twingey tummy pains on and off today Still stuffing my face with sweet things!! No other 'symptoms'
CD 5: Forgot to take temp No 'symptoms' today. Lots of sticky, slightly stretchy cm in the evening. PM: Cervix feels low, but also kind of soft & partly open??
CD 6: Temp very low this morning. Have achey feeling in lower abdomen? Watery cm in the morning.
CD 7: Temp very low. Milky cm on and off throughout the day - interspersed with sticky. Feel slightly blue -- vague nausea, dragging, achey feeling in lower abdomen. In the late evening have a throbbing stitch like pain in my right ovary, shooting pain down my right leg. Skin breakout. Cervix feels high, sort of soft and partly open. Increased libido but dh has come down with flu today!! Typical!!!
CD 8: Temp still below coverline. EWCM in the morning and later in the day. Persistent stitch in right groin (ovary). Lymph nodes in groin are visibly swollen! Definitely approaching ovulation. Still vaguely nauseous, tired, increased sex drive but dh still ill!! Cervix feels high, soft and now completely open.
CD 9: Temp still low this morning so haven't ovulated yet. Some EWCM in the morning. Still have throbbing stitch in my right ovary. Nauseous in the morning. Lymph nodes still swollen - now only on the right side -- ov is imminent -- i expect to wake up to a temp shift tomorrow. Dh still feeling ill so doubt whether i will even get one bd in this month!!

CD 11: Temp hasn't risen yet. Creamy cm in the early afternoon. All cramps, ov pains & backache are gone today. Feeling tired; headache in the evening.

A thread of mixed journeys will confuse in the end - no?
Quoting: to keep quoting your previous would also becoming confusing to the eye - maybe? Much easier to follow on your own diary journey as well as the ease of updating/editing to suit.
Symptoms - we have the testing thread which we will rename as it seems to cause confusion this will also be renamed to point out 'ttc month buddies'
Maybe we should have a 2ww thread. We're thinking on this and currently me & OH are preparing to move so things aren't so fast on thinking and doing.
Yeah, i guess it's better to rename the thread as u've done - ta!
I still think it's easier to track pure physical 'symptoms' cycle by cycle this way (i.e. by having a separate thread) -- the journals are filled with so much other stuff that i imagine it would be hard to scroll back to find exactly how one felt on cd 10 or cd 16 (for example) of a previous month. I used a thread like this on another forum and it was really invaluable for comparing & pinpointing cyclical shifts.
I think a 2ww thread would be a great idea but i'd still like to keep this one going pretty please!? Also, the idea i had was not only to chart 2ww symptoms but shifts right the way through - including ov ones.
Oh bloody hell lol - Sorry I renamed it I actually went to and changed my mind (wasn't thinking) I had not realised it actually done it! Feel free to rename it back to what you want (I have forgotten the title name).
You can keep any thread going lol they were only suggestions and mainly thinking of scatters of same 'group topics' of interest but diff threads. We had to think of girls dividing and getting clique - Not that I am suggesting you are one bit
I think its a good idea over all but just a bit of feedback that the way it is done above I find it quite confusing to see 4 posts all the same but each post only one line added - if you see what I'm trying to say? Just a thought and an opinion honestly.
