Body playing tricks on me...

TashaAndBump · Oct 8th, 2008, 13:26 PM

I'm only on CD 24 of a 40 day cycle. My tummy is killing me (period-like cramps)... keep spotting... my sense of smell has gone CRAZY... This has been going on for a few weeks, and now this morning I thew up for no reason whatsoever... All of these are the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant.

EXCEPT I know that I can't be pregnant (I have a coil) and my period is not even due until the 19th. I took a pregnancy test today just to be sure and it was invalid (i.e. nothing happened - no control line, no pink dye, nothing

). I've bought 2 more to test with tomorrow morning so it rules it out completely. But WHY am I getting all these symptoms?? These cramps are so bad, and everything STINKS, which is making me feel sick! I even smelt sausages this afternoon and thought they smelt delicious!!

I'm a vegetarian and the smell of meat usually makes me feel SICK! Wtf is going on??

Stupid body. Stupid hormones.

Any ideas?

Well I'm no expert but it sounds like it

Well I wish my head/body would stop doing this! These cramps are no fun at all! owowow

I hope it isn't a phantom pregnancy! My friend had one of those..

Tasha, when did you have the coil put in? Could these all be side effects from it??

No, I had the coil put in about 4 months ago.

I did a test... the lines my mind wants to be there are taunting me! hahaha Well actually it would be very bad if I were pregnant right now - coil in, unplanned - not to mention a much needed, long awaited op in the horizon!

But I guess none of that will stop my POAS-addict brain from seeing lines were there are none! haha.

I used a cheapy, so can't really trust it I guess? I'm sure there are lines on this test but it wouldn't be the first time I've had lines and no pregnancy. M'eh.
