I swear I am not a hypochondriac

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I have been charting my symptoms on FF and I have lots of colored boxes.  Then I look at other ppls charts and see that they only have one or two.  Since the whole thyroid issue happened, I figured I should make sure I chart all of them so I can see if it is getting better.

Am I really that unhealthy or do other ppl just not chart them as muchHuh?

    Nothing to worry about.  Im don't think you are  unhealthy, you just want to be aware of what is going on and to track that you are getting better.

    I honesty just don't chart the symptoms as much, just the temp and CM and sex days. 

    Good Luck to you!

    Thyroid issues can cause multiple symptoms. Like from mine, I have joint and muscle aches frequently, difficulty with the cold, problems sleeping. I end up with a lot of colored boxes as well. Headaches, nausea, dizziness are checked almost everyday. Doesn't mean you are unhealthy or a hypochondriac. I also think its a good way to keep track in case some of your symptoms are caused by a disease. I would have never thought mine were until I got super sick from my hypothyroid. As the doc asked about specific symptoms with the thyroid, it turned out I've had them for a long time just never thought much about.

    I usually don't chart them, unless I do think that it has had an affect on my cycle (i.e. being sick this cycle).

    Me neither, because I can be a serious hypochondriac. I would make myself crazy paying attention to every little thing, so I don't. No judgment, though :)

    I chart everything too lol, it's fun!  Plus, last cycle my symptom colors seemed to make a picture of a monkey swinging on a vine.
