Hi everyone. This is my first post in a LONG time. A little background info...I have been trying for about 14 months now. I took 1 cycle of Clomid and nothing happened. I had a very early miscarriage about a month ago at 4 weeks. My last two cycles were normal. My cycle is typically 26-27 days long and ALWAYS on time. I am now on day 32 of cycle (about 6 days late) and NOTHING! I usually have 1-3 days of brownish spotting before coming on heavy for days 4, 5 and 6 of cycle. This month I have nothing. I have been extremely tired (which could also be because of the cold I have and work too), have sore boobs, slight nausea, and bloated/hardened lower stomach. I did a HPT this morning and it came out negative. I really do just "feel" pregnant this month, but am just so scared to get excited as AF ALWAYS turns up when I do. I would love a cycle/testing buddy for this cycle. I think I might try to get a blood test done in a day or so since the urine one came back negative. I'd love to hear from you! ↑
Hello ladies! I am new here and I am crossing my fingers that I am PG, but I'm not sure. I have been so tired all the time, eating excessively, feeling like I'm going to ralph, my tummy is a bit firm under my navel and bottom line I just feel different overall. I stopped taking my birth control pills after my last period which was in the middle of October. My boyfriend and I have had sex like 6 times without protection and he came in me everytime. Am I pregnant? If someone could reach out and help me I owe you my whole heart... Thanks, Sparkles =) ↑
Hi, Tonia - we're exactly on same day of cycle, and I have same length of cycle, but type-wise, I'm heavy bleeding for days 1,2 and lighter for 3 &4. I'm going for a urine test tomorrow a.m. at Doc's. All, and I mean ALL HPTs have been negative. It's hard not to get excited, but good to know we're not alone...so I'd be happy to keep 'in check' with ya! I've had: tender breasts (more around nipples), nausea at night...but not last few nights, cramping - almost down to upper legs, feeling like I've been getting my period for over a week (not normal..usually just get bad pains 1st day of), headaches - two bad ones, others are seldom and mild, wake up in middle of night-early morning with 'sweats' (I'm always cold), could be in bed by 9 p.m. - pretty tired lately...often have to decide if I'm hungry or nauseous. I figure I'm going on 5 days late for my period. ↑
hey started feeling the typical stomach cramps i get before my AF im due tommorow. ive given up milk products this month (in an atempt to stop my headaches i usually get) so many thats an explaination for my weird possible symptoms, who knows... i just feel ... different this month. not just in how i feel how i am mentally as well im not obsessed about it but i dont feel like im going to get my AF. but im not getting any hopes up.
Margo - Thanks for your post! Sounds like we could be good cycle buddies, huh?! :) I actually just got back from the store. I decided to buy another 2-pack of HPT to do this week. When I miscarried my 1st HPT came up neg and my 2nd pos. When I did a blood test it came back positive but with high risk of miscarriage (V. Low HCG levels). A day after getting back the blood test results I miscarried. I really don't want to stress myself out again, but I just really "feel" different this month. It is always so good to hear that there are SO MANY other people out there going through exactly what you are, you know?! I understand what you are saying about the hunger/nausea thing. For some reason I have been waking up suddenly at 4:30-5 every morning for the past week (something I NEVER do) and then feel queasy and have trouble getting back to sleep. My appetite has been weird and I have noticed that my lower belly is hard and kind of poking out more than usual. Again...I don't want to get excited because I get very bad PMS and bloating is quite normal for me. It is just so difficult to know for sure if what I am feeling is just a strange, late period or the beginning of pregnancy. The symptoms are so similar! I look forward to hearing back from you about your urine test tomorrow...fingers crossed! :) ↑
Tonia & all.....If anyone lives in BC/Western Canada, the cheapest Preg Tests can be bought at Superstore (2 tests for $8). Also, if anyone is interested in doing the Ovulation test strips, I 've been doing them for 2 months now and my Dr. says to keep doing them, anything helps in figuring out our sometimes weird cylces - depending on how many days your cycle is depends on when you start testing (eg. 28 days, start on day 11/12 and test everyday until it shows your ovulating and your good for 36 hours), the website for the mail order is www.buyovulationtests.com/contact_us.html
Don't worry, I'm not a salesperson for this company, a friend of a friend told me and they got preggers 3 months later - as they says, "who knows?". Margo, let us know how the test goes. ↑
AF arrived this morning, 5 days late, so guess there's no point in going for a urine test. Now I have convinced myself it's not a real period...yeah, right! I just want to cry - my husband left for work, and I told him I got my period and he's so wonderful and supportive and I'm lucky. I've never been late before so it's been quite a roller coaster experience. I feel like pooh. ↑
Margo - I am so sorry to hear that AF came. I can SO relate and have been there SO many times! I am currently about 1 week late (not sure really if it is 6 or 7 days). I did another HPT this AM and it was neg again. I am so bloated and felt really nauseous this morning. I decided to go get a blood test this afternoon...just to know for sure one way or the other. I swear...the waiting just kills me. I have having quite heavy CM (white, creamy) and keep running to the bathroom every five mins thinking it is AF. I am PRAYING that this month will be the one.....fingers crossed! Keep me posted on your next cycle....I may need a cycle buddy if AF shows up! ↑
AF didnt show today first time i been late in a long time tho its prolly just worry... if AF isnt here this time next week time for a HPT.
sorry to here of your losses and for those still keeping AF at bay Good Luck :) ↑
hi. i need to ask a few questions. you see, my last normal period was oct 1. my period didn't arrive around nov 1. so by nov 5, i took a home pregnancy wee test and it gave me a result of negative. my period still didn't arrive days after that. so again i took the test by nov 10 and it's still negative. my period still didn't arrive days after that so again i took the test by nov 15. and the result showed me a positive one! but the line was sooooo faint. by nov 16, i took the test again, it's still positive, only this time, the line is not so faint anymore. to be really sure about it, i took the test again by nov 20, it's still positive! and the more i take the test, the line becomes more visible! what do you think about that? and how many days/weeks do you think i'm pregnant? coz i think i'm just days/weeks pregnant? am i really pregnant? am i pregnant? ↑
Snow-I'm very happy for you!! Isn't it frustrating that you had to take 2 tests even before getting a faint line. I think I got my AF about 9 days before I was supposed to OR else it's spotting 'cuz of implantation ('cuz I have had bad cramping and nausea). Just in case....I'm going to wait a week or so after to test, so I don't have to be in question like you for so long. All the best to you and maybe you'd want to maybe see your Dr. to get a blood test and then an UltraSound - Fingers crossed for you! ↑
Thanks, Tonia. Yup - full fledged AF has arrived. I didn't expect this, but my husband was actually sad about it...we'd made the mistake of thinking how neat christmas would be, perhaps telling our parents, etc...then thinking about work schedules....yikes (gulp)....because I'm so regular it seemed just 'so.' I have a Doctor's appointment early in December, and we're both going. We're creeping up into the mid-thirties, so if we need some 'treatment' of some kind we want to figure it out - don't have a year to try and try, as we have been for the last 4 months or so. I know it can take some time, but we really don't have it. (sigh). Thanks and let me know how it goes for you and I'll cross my fingers for you. However it turns out, it'll be okay. I'm not stupid - I know these things happen, and I just let myself get overly hopeful. I'll remain confident. We want a baby so bad...and we'll have one. ↑
Hi everyone. I have a few questions...i'm sure it's too early to tell if i am pregnant - and maybe i'm just paranoid haha. But my last menstrual cycle was the 8th, and my boyfriend and i had sex on the 16th. I'm on birth control, but that week i had to use old pills because my new pack accidentally got thrown away. The past few days i have been feeling very nauseous off and on, and i am getting brown discharge, and i never have spotting in between periods. I am also very gassy which i usually am not. Also, which probably has to do with the excess gas, if i place my hand on my stomach i can feel my stomach moving weirdly. I took a pregnancy test today, even tho it's early, just because i have this very strong feeling that i am. Obviously it was negative, but im wondering if anyone has any input on what they think. Thanks!

Hi, this is my first time posting. I know the feeling of not wanting to test because of the dissapointment. AF always comes every 28 days for me, but last month it was 30. I just knew that I was pregnant before she came. This month, I am now on day 31 and af hasn't arrived yet. I have been feeling extremely tired all day for the past two weeks, and my boobs are tender. Yesterday, I had the slightest pink spotting, but nothing now. This could all be due to pms though. I've told myself that I refuse to test until day 35. Good luck to all of you! ↑
I am so confused...I got back the results from my blood test yesterday and they were negative (less than 5mIU/mL) although on the results sheet it said that from day 1 to end of week 1 of pregnancy the levels range from 5-50 mIU/mL. My cycle ALWAYS starts every 26/27 days and I am now on days 34/35 of cycle and NOTHING. I have been nauseous for the past two weeks with very sore boobs and my stomach is EXTREMELY bloated. For the past 3-4 days I have had quite heavy white CM. This is VERY unusual for me and I have NEVER gone over 28/29 days for a cycle. I guess my question is whether any of you have had a similar experience and then found out you were pregnant after an original neg result (maybe tested too early?) or if you have any advice for me? I am going crazy with the uncertainty! Thanks! ↑
I've been wondering how things have been for you, Tonia! I learned that the levels are 'supposedly' to double every day following a pregancy (that was told to me by a pharmacist when I was buying the store out of HPTs. It's AWFUL, the confusion all this causes, I know! If I were you I'd take a HPT on Monday or Tuesday then go to the doctor again no matter the result. ↑
Margo,
Thanks for your post. I am really frustrated by everything. I had a very light pink discharge when wiping this am - nothing like normal period or 1st days of normal period for me. I wouldn't have thought that this was implantation...I am technically up to day 36 of cycle (10 days late). I think I am going to do what you suggested...I am going to wait until Monday (if AF doesn't come 1st!) and test again. If that STILL comes out negative, I will go see my doctor. I hate the waiting and not knowing! Thanks again...and keep me posted on how things are going for you!

I need help, the condom came off, dont ask me how and i did not realize it. after we used spermicide and the day after got plan b. tues the 23 she said she got her period but it was weird, wed she said it was more normal but light and yesterday she said she didnt really have it. She isnt due to get it untill around the 4th. She got really sick mon. but was better tues.. Help any one know if she could be pregnant? were both young and desperatly hoping she isnt. Im getting a test today but the incident happened last wednesday the 17th. is this too early to test? ↑
Well...I don't want to get too excited yet, but I got a BIG FAT POSITIVE this morning when I did a hpt. Today I am 11 days late for AF and it is nearly one week since my last negative blood test and hpt. It was a very clear positive sign, so I am going to go on Tuesday and do a blood test just to make sure. I guess I must have tested too soon. I was a little worried last night and this morning as I had a very small amount of light red when wiping and then very light brown this am (only happened twice). I would have thought that it would be too late for implantation bleeding, but I guess it might be. I am just overly cautious about everything as I early miscarried in September. So...fingers crossed until I get back blood results, but I am 99.9% sure that I am a Mommy (again!). :) ↑
still looking for help, she used EPT fri night and was neg. but there was two or three of the little dots in the positive line, tested again sunday and same result. She said she had a normal period for 2 days then stopped and thursday she said it started to be brown and in spots...she isnt due untill about the 4th or 5th and it will be 2 weeks thurs since the condom fell off. no other symptoms really, she said her breasts are a little bit tender around her nipples....HELP please anyone ↑
Jack, I would go to a good Walk-In Clinic (if you live in BC, Canada it's not hard to find one) check through the Internet for one in your area and get the Doctor to do a blood test on your girlfriend, because that is the most accurate and it shows up sooner than the urine tests. Also, maybe get her to go on birth control, it's not that expensive at all, especially when the pregnancy is unplanned, it's just another precaution in addition to a condom. Hope everything works out. ↑
i don't know if i am pregnant, does your urine change it's odor if you are?
I am supposed to start on tuesday, but i missed a pill in my pack and did not realize i missed one for a few days. i realized it when i knew it was monday, not sunday, then i doubled up. Is it a possablitiy? ↑
hi i to have had breast tenderness for a couple of days now, i have been going to the toilet more often and feeling like i need the toilet more often i have had cramps, i feel like i can feel something happening inside me, i have taken two hpt but both came up negative. mayb you should take a hpt test to see if you are pregnant ↑
Good afternoon Ladies... Its my first time here but I found all of your replies so inspirational... it really helps knowing that others are going thru the same thing. I've been trying now for just over a year.. Was supposed to get AF yesterday and still no sign of her today.. Same thing as most of you though - Frequent urination and sore breats... Keeping all of my fingers crossed though!! Was anyone else due for AF on the 5th? One more question as well... does anyone know what your cervix position should be right before you get your period? ↑
Hope all is well with everyone.. I have been TTC 2 months.. This month feel a little off.. due for AF on 13th Dec.. i feel very bloated which only happens day of AF also very tired and tender breasts and cramping since ovulation... what do you reckon??.. Good luck to all.. ↑
Hey, I've been reading your stories off and on all day...they really touch my heart. I feel like I may be pregnant. I just got married 5 months ago and I don't need to be pregnant but if it happens I will certainly be happy. I read the probable signs but I wanted to share some of my symptoms with you all...I may just be crazy. I'm not due to have my period until 12/12 but I feel weird. For the past three nights I have gotten sick around 5:30 each night..with nausea, some vomiting, headaches, fatigue, and terrible heartburn!! During the day I feel okay but most of the time my stomach feels like it's on fire, I feel a little fainty at times also. And lastly by breasts are painful to touch but they normally are always like that. I did take a home test and it was neg, maybe it's just to early to tell or maybe I'm worrying to much. ↑
hi i'm very confused because since like 2 months i'm having the pregnancy symptoms but still having the period...i did a HPT and it was negative...and by then i was feeling the moviments in my tummy so that really made me more confused...i went to the doctor and she felt my tummy and sed that i wasn't pregnant and the second test was negative...now i don't know what to think because i really feel the moviments inside of me and i want to feel happy but i can't cause all the toughts about the tests and the doctor's opinion...i'm just soo scared at the moment and still felling all this things inside even my partner felt it so i'm not crazy...can someone please help me i really need to know that this has happened to someone else i need advice...what should i do next??my doctor didn't seems to care about the problem at all... ↑
