my boyfriend and i are not trying to get pregnant but i am having some weird symptoms and am not sure what to make of them.
my first day of my last period was 7/23 so my ovulation period is from 8/3-5. we were in hawaii then having unprotected sex (i know- please don't lecture me!) during that period of time. starting 8/10 i began to have diarrhea and have had it every day since. it is not the worst version i have ever had- but it's definitely not normal. then starting on 8/14 i had a slight fever going between 99.2-99.9 with one time of 100 and this has gone on ever since. the first day or two i felt like i might be coming down with something but since then i feel fine- just hot. i did get a root canal the day before i got the fever- but the tooth feels fine so i am pretty sure it's not infected. and the diarrhea began way before the root canal.
other symptoms- i am all of sudden really sensitive to caffeine. if i have a cup of tea in the afternoon or some chocolate i feel uneasy. i had creamy discharge but i don't have it right now. i have been extra thirsty and peeing a lot.
my period should be coming today or tomorrow. i bought a pregnancy test but didn't wanted to take it too early and get a false reading. i wonder if i should wait till tomorrow to see if my period comes.
can anyone tell me if they had similar experiences? particularly the diarrhea starting 5-7 days after ovulation and body temp that is in the 99-100 range?
thank you for your help! ↓
It sounds promising - good exposure and good enough early signs. The temperature is normally higher after ovulation than before, and in pregnancy can step up another notch. Lotion discharge is a sign, peeing more, upset gut another. If your temp is still high 18 days after ovulation, it is a pretty good confirmation. Not tired, emotional, lightheaded, aches and pains, runny nose, acne, all insofar as different from normal PMS? Test when you are late and again a week after to confirm. Good luck! ↑
thank you for your response grandpa viv :) i think i am going to test tomorrow with my first pee. i don't usually get pms- but i am affected by the moon cycles- and this recent lunar eclipse was a doozy. i am actually not as tired as i can typically be- which is odd. the upset gut is really annoying though.
so still no period- and it should have come today. i have been having a ton of digestive stuff- cramps and gas and diarrhea. is this normal for pregnancy symptoms? i know menstrual cramps are- but what about digestive ones? ↑
Pregnancy hormones affect the muscles that move food through the gut, causing bloating, gas either end, heartburn, diarrhea and/or constipation, and incidentally shortness of breath. Digestive system pains would be expected. Good luck with the test! ↑
