Ahhhh ok... Well, my last period was around the 15th of june........ My fiancee and I were actively engaged in sex for the past 2 and half weeks (June 19th-July 6th) while I was visiting him (long distance due to USMC). We did not use protection at all because we want to get pregnant. The day after the first time he came in me I felt different. Now that it is close to 3 weeks later, I do feel breast tenderness, bloated belly, fatigue, etc. Is it to early to tell? It is now July 8th, which is about a week before my period should be occuring. Should I take a test now, or should I wait to see if I miss my period? ↓

I had my periods and had sex with hubby exactly the same time as ur :) I think I saw spotting from the past 3 days infact even spotted on june 22nd and 23rd .I dnt have sore breast bu since yest I feel I will throw up though I dnt. As far as the reading goes we should do HPT on the 10th. Keep me posted about ur result. ↑

hahah what a coincindence! =) i am not spotting at all......... maybe a TINY bit today. is that SUPPOSED to happen you think, or sometimes it doesn't? i felt sick all day today with belly problems... like i just didn't feel RIGHT at all. time to buy the hpt!!! i will wait till the 10th though since that is under a week before my period should be here. ↑

It's way too early to test. It's best to wait until you actually miss a period before testing - though easier said than done! By the way, it's very unlikely that you would have gotten pregnant from having sex 3 weeks ago. You normally ovulate 12-16 days before your period is due. So your fertile period was about a week ago. If you were still having sex then, you're in with a chance. Good luck! ↑

Sperm can live as long as 7 days inside you if conditions are right, and on the very slight occasion, 10 days, so you might have a shot! ↑

Well I just went and did you a favor,I went whenmybaby.com based on if you have about a 29 to 30 day cycle, you and your fiance' very well could have conceived! You were bd'ing around and all the way through your ovulation time. You were most fertile between friday june 27th and wednesday july 2nd. the earliest it says to that you could take a hpt is the 10th or the 11th, but those are the very earliest dates and could give you a false nagative. I would wait till the day your period is due, just to be really sure. It takes anywhere from 6-12 for the egg to implant and until the egg implants, you wont be able to detect any hcg, when it implants it takes about 2 days for it to get into your urine, and then sometimes its not enough for a hpt to detect. Hope that helps!!! Best of luck, I hope you get your BFP! ↑

to naomi--- no no, we were having sex all the way from june 19th up to july 6th... so the last time we were having sex was only 3 days ago! trust me, we were having a great time for about 3 weeks straight. it looks like i was doing what i needed to do during the right times! thanks for yor input! ↑

I already have got the HPT kt and will wait to see if I miss my period. I knw the books says 14days to ovulate but I knw ppl who ovulated after their period. keep me posted on ur test..I am eager to hear from u. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 10th, 2008 2:10 AM
rosecox: gooooood luck! i will buy my hpt in a couple of days. if i don't start by the 15th, i am going to test. :) ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 10th, 2008 2:07 PM
I will be doing the HPT around the same time when u will. I am so eager to get pregnant again after I lost my first baby boy who was a still born. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 10th, 2008 3:39 PM
rose, wow, what not so good news! i am extremely sorry for you! but, in the most darkest tunnels, at the end there is light! SO, i hope and pray for a positive test for you! just keep your head up, and you will be blessed again! ↑
mom: well i tested on the 10th, but not with first morning urine. negative. maybe too early to test? i don't know. i am still having the same symptoms... especially nausea and more bloated belly. i am thinking i will test again on the 15th, as long as af isn't there! **praying!!!** ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 12th, 2008 3:30 AM
Well cassie actually yes it was too early to test and it should have been with the 1st morning urine. I will test on the 15th or the 17th. Hoping to surprise him with the positive news on the 19th...Do keeps us posted. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 12th, 2008 3:40 AM
rose: i only did because i was super nervous and would have been nice to get an early result of positive! but nope, didn't work that way. i will be trying again on the 15th and hopefully we both have +!!! ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 14th, 2008 7:25 PM
So cassie did u do the HPT? I have missed my periods so will wait for atealest a week before doing the HPT ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 14th, 2008 9:41 PM
by the way just wanted to know do we spot pink (and I mean pale pink) after u miss period with very mild lower backache. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 14th, 2008 10:06 PM
rose: from what i have been reading about all of this, it is possible you will spot light pink instead of having your period if you are pregnant... and backaches are a sign too. i've been having a lower backache for the past couple of weeks, but no spotting....... ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 14th, 2008 10:36 PM
Well cassie I did have lower backache for some days before I missed my periods but spotted pale brown as well..Remember not all woman spot. I dont recall i did in my last pregnancy....keep me posted as soon as u the HPT. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 16th, 2008 3:01 AM
ob boy, i hope this is implantation bleeding, but today around 2pm i started having pale, pale pink and light brown spotting! i feel the same as i have for the past month... nausea and the works! i am no longer spotting now [it stopped a few hours ago].......... anything i should know about this? ugh, i am about to get super depressed. =( ↑
Name: momtoaandk | Date: Jul 16th, 2008 11:14 PM
Cassie, I had some light brown bleeding right around the time I was suppose to get my period, but found out I was pregnant instead! I thought that I had finally started, I think I was maybe 2-3 days late(this was with baby #1, daughter, now 3 1/2), but I bought an hpt just in case, I think it was an e.p.t. digital to be exact, and the screen flashed pregnant like right away, I had taken it at night too, and those ept digis are only sensitive to 50 mui or something like that, didnt know it at the time, but yeah! Hope that helps, have you tested again yet? ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 19th, 2008 12:19 AM
cassie...what happened. Did u do the HPT. Mine came negative. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 19th, 2008 4:21 AM
mom: i have not tested again, but when i tested a few days ago, before the spotting, i was negative. now i got the browish bleeding for the past few days, but very minimal, not like a normal af. maybe i will retest in the morning, but its quite depressing getting these negatives! it is very weird though if i am not pregnant because we did what we did so often and frequent with no protection in order to get pregnant, especially on the days that i was ovul. if im not, maybe there is no hope...... =( rose: i will test in the morning, but if negative, i will have to wait to see fiance till end of august!!!!!!! marine corp.... uuuugh. =( ↑
rose: i am a bit worried now! i am on SEVEN days of light spotting, from the 15th to now [22nd]. no crampng at all... it is not af because she lasts for 4 days and is different than this. it's like, i don't even need to use anything if i don't want too. its just when i go to the br and wipe, its there, but its not on my panties. from day one, to day 7 its been like this. WEIRD!!!! no, i have not taken another test because i think my body is just whacked up!! ↑
Name: Crystal83 | Date: Jul 22nd, 2008 5:46 PM
I think you should take another test, sometimes that kind of bleeding can occur in the first trimester around 5-6 weeks and is usually nothing to worry about. ↑
Name: rosecox | Date: Jul 23rd, 2008 2:32 PM
Cassie same happened to me and I then i thought its AF but then went to the doctor and she says I am just stressing to get pregnant so my periods are not coming right.She gave me medication and I got my periods (after another HPT which came negative). In your case it actually could be spotting but I would sugessted u to go to the doc as soon as possible and dnt stress. I am going for a second honeymoon in august so hope to get preg next month. Baby dust to u. Keep me posted. ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 30th, 2008 1:36 PM
Rose: Well, more weird things are happening now! So the weird stuff stopped on the 22nd or so, but the same spotting is now occuring again from yesterday to today! [the 29th and 30th!]. I really need to figure out what is going on. Along with the spotting, I am just not feeling right, or well. Maybe I am one of those people that just don't get bfp on sticks. I don't know!! I need to figure this out! ↑
Name: wannabeamama | Date: Jul 30th, 2008 5:59 PM
I would take one and if no wait a week or so and check again. If still nothing wait for missed period and test again....hehe but most of the time if you feel preggers you prob are!! :) goodluck hun!! ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Jul 31st, 2008 3:04 AM
wanna: thanks for the advice! well, i am going to see if i get a period on the 15th of august... if it is weird like july 15 was then i know something is up! especially since this new spotting is now going on its 3rd day [the first one lasted 8 days, and was only a week ago!!] oh man.... i just wish this was easy. my nausea only comes at night and vanishes in the morning. every night for the past few nights this has been happening...... i now awake with headaches also. Uggggh!! =) xoHoping and Praying!!!!xo ↑
Name: cassie14 | Date: Aug 4th, 2008 9:34 PM
Just updating: Still no af... 20 days since Lmp and 11 days till af should show up. If not, I will have missed 2 af's!! Last night I woke up soo nauseous and ended up throwing up. I have been under the weather allll day today too!! Like practically bed bound due to my aching body. Thank the lord today was my day off! The signs are still looking good for me, so we will see! How is everyone else doing? ↑
