Hi People,
My 2 WW ended on Sunday, and I am pretty gloomy, especially since I feel that I brought on AF or 'helped her along'. I'll explain.
I am a regular runner, I do about 12 to 15km (btw 1hr to 1hr 15 minutes daily) 4 times a week.The day before AF was due, I did my usual 15km, and some stomach crunches. It was hot and humid, but I am used to running in these conditions and even consciously reduced my speed that day. After the run, before taking my shower, I checked CF (which had remained creamy during the 2WW) and saw that it had turned a very pale brown. While in bed that night I felt some wetness( sorry for TMI) but did not find this unusual since my 2WW CF had not dried up. Next morning and the day after, I had the heaviest AF I've ever had:crying: , which started out heavy and not with a day of spotting, as is usual for me.
In the course of the 2WW, I had noticed changes that for me were never pre menstural and I assure you were not psychosomatic either:
First, my sleep pattern totally changed and I seemed to be up almost every hour of the night: 2-something am, 3 am, 4-something am, and by 5 am, I couldn't get back to sleep. I was also( and consequently) sooo tired during the day, I had to take a nap in the early afternoon (I fell back asleep immediately after having breakfast on two occasions). I had heartburn for several days (The only time I ever get this is when I eat raw onions and that's never) and I also woke up with a stuffy nose several mornings. I usually have a bad case of water retention pre-menstural but had absolutely nothing this time round . On the other hand, my lower belly was very turgid. I somewhat lost appetite and when I did eat, I felt too full after just a few bites....and I also seemed to be on a cheese crave whereas Pre Menstural, I ALWAYS crave milk chocolate with/and nuts, but felt absolutely nothing for that this time round. Another thing was that I had painless cramps for some two to three days prior to AF showing up, and this I NEVER have. For the first time in my life I had no PMS 'black moods'; I did have mood swings, but these switched between euphoria and anger(at things that normally would not get me mad).
In addition to all that, I also had the usual bloating and gas, which seemed to be thrice as bad(sorry TMI) so much that DH complained- he normally can take it all:D
Well, to cut this long one short, I feel that running on that particular day was a bad idea and I just have to stop :banghead: and stay positive in preparation for the next BD, in a couple of days...I have just come across a forum where someone says that their doctor adviced them not to exercise much during 2WW for implantation reasons. Another says to avoid exercising in hot an humid weather conditions... I would really appreciate any :idea: or info anyone may have on any exercising dos and donts during the 2WW and in early pregnancy; whether told by their doctor or read somewhere...
Thank you all, it feels so much better having this out and now I can smile . I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all those TTC and those Testing Soon!
