Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey ladies! I had a busy day at work and left early to meet with an atty...(loan modification)...That's a side subject but ties in with prayer, so I will get back to that.

First though.

Duda~Congrats on the implantation bleeding. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Things are starting to look promising. Congrats on the romantic weekend.

Krissy~ Lower back pain sounds promising too. I was wondering how you were over the weekend since you're just a couple days ahead of me. Did you have imp. bleeding with other pregnancies? (Didn't you say you have other children?)

Fitz~ welcome. It's hard to be patient..You're talking to the queen of impatience right here. hehe As much as we hate those BFN's sometimes they are important to keep us from getting ahead of ourselves in excitement.

Elove~flulike symptoms and pink spotting...very promising too! Wouldn't it be awesome if we all go luck this month?

As for me. I got my progesterone test today...Just called and the dr office said it was 9.75...today is either 7, 8 or 9 dpo...they said it was a little low but to let them know if I get a BFP...Shouldn't they be more aggresive than that? What if i don't get my BFP? What if I am positive and at risk for mc because the levels are low, aren't they gonna do anything about it? Am I just being ultrasensitive? I'm extremely tired, sore boobs still, lower back tightness, hot flashes, imp. bleeding I believe over the weekend. And, I'm left wondering? Can a healthy baby come out of a 9.75 prog level? So many questions...And my back hurts, so that's all for now, but I'm eager to hear your answres...oh, is anyone having slight twinges in your ovary area...feel like a dull pain, but not really? Feels like near my left ovary...hmmm.

fitzerin - I would have to agree with you I think you tested too soon. Keeping fingers cross for your BFP. When does AF suppose to show. How long are your cd? What cd and dpo are you?

DUDA - Girlfriend you know I will be keeping my fingers cross for you. You only have 7 more days before the big day and I can't wait for you to post. Hang in there.

elove - How are you feeling today?

runnershirl - Hey girlfriend how are you feeling today. Anything new? To be honest with you I didn't do anything over the weekend I got up to feed the kids and they played outside all day which I just loved. I stayed in bed and channel surf. I guess you could say I was being a lazy bum. LOL Sunday I did get up and start moving around cause I had to do the kids laundry for the last week of school and then I had to get ready to go to work at my part time job. Yes I do have kids I have 4 girls ages 20, 18, 14 (she is turning 15 on the 19th) and 4 then I have 2 granddaughters ages 2 and 3 months and I am also helping to raise my fiance set of twins boys they are 6. It is never a dull moment in the house and it is always loud.

Here is my little update. I am currenly on cd 26/12dpo and I did break down and tested yesterday 11dpo and it was a bfn and I wasn't upset or depress. I am happy today because my temp did go up from yesterday 98.20 to 98.39 so I did a little happy dance. My symptoms are still the same it just seem like I'm starving and my stomache feel a little upset, queesy and nausuated, I need a nap right now. I just can't wait to see some bfp this months. I will be waiting a few more days before I test again. I hope my temp continue to go up. I am asking you ladies to please say a prayer and keep your fingers cross for me. Like I said AF should be here between 12-15. I will let you know. Krissy68

hi elove
u r showing lot of patience my due date was also 7th june still no periods but 2 urine neg. test and i neg blood test hcg less then 2 but so many symptoms r there can i still be pregnant with hcg level less then 2 if i am .. i would be 4 week 4 day now.... i am mother of 2 girls..

Welcome Naz...I don't know answers to your q's but wanted to say hi and welcome. Maybe the other ladies will know?

Ladies, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all of you, and yes, I have and will say my prayers. The Good Lord made us to give birth...the gift of life, and aside from somethings which just can't be overlooked, I believe he wants us to do just that...that doesn't mean if we have our lives out of order, or some other challenge ahead that He will let us, but in due time...So, I try to remain positive and hopeful. And, if, at the end of our 2ww, don't forget, we'll just start GPW (girl pamper week) to wipe away our tears, and pamper our souls.

I wanted to update you all. I forgot to mention last night that I have a pituitary tumor..it's in the brain on the pituitary gladn. If you know the function of the pituitary gland, it puts all hormones in order. If hormones are out of balance, one can't get pregnant. Which is all another reason the almost low progesterone was concerning to me. I researched it more last night and called the nruse today and expressed my concerns. If both she and the dr. noticed my lining was thin and that I would later need progesterone supplements, I thought it was pointless to not start it now, thereby causing a potential mc. She understood my concerns and immediately ordered progesterone. Another examply of why it's important to understand, research and be an advocate of your own health. I annoy them sometimes because I research so much, but if I don't know what's happening, how can I look out for what's best for my body?

I forgot to mention my special story last night..I was so tired. I was mentioning how amazing the Lord is, and quickly, my husband and I were working to modify our home and now 6 mos later have determined that the modification co's just jerk you around (based on my experience anyhow). So, Friday a representative told me they could do nothing for me. DH and I prayed specifically about THAT and asked for his direction in helping us work out of this mess,and yesterday I met with an atty to get options. Driving home, i was analyzing how we could save every penny to get caught up and get this monkey off my back. However, upon arriving home I found a package from the mort co with a modification agreement--exactly what we needed--exactly only days after they swore they could do nothing for us. One could look at it from a human perspective, or from a faith perspective--mine is faith...and there's no doubt in my mind that was an answer to a prayer. It may or may not be time for answers to the other prayer (baby), but one could only hope...Stand strong on your faith ladies, put your lives in order if they aren't and I'm convinced, we will get our rewards...I hope that peps you all up, it did for me. Thx for allowing me to share--as I know this isn't a spiritual page, but it is who I am, so thanks for allowing me to open up.

As for me and symptoms...like you Krissy, i'm still super tired. Still tender boobs, some sneezing, periodic nausea(could be nerves). Oh, in my research, i learned that we must eat red meats, veggies and grains, must exercise and must minimize stress to keep our progesterone up. That puts it all into perspective doesn't it? I guess we need to start looking at the big picture...Have a nice night gals...

"How long are your cd? What cd and dpo are you?"

Forgive my ignorance...I haven't been on this forum in a few years...but what is CD?

I am pretty sure I ovulated on the 1st. (I follow a chart on mycycle . com that predicted that as my ovulation date) My period is due on the 15th. We attempted conception on the 27th, 29th, 31st and 3rd. So I think my chances are pretty good.

I find myself in such foreign land here. With my son I didn't try to conceive him, and I wasn't happy when I found out I was pg either. Actually I was quite miserable the entire pregnancy. (I also suffer from depression) Now I am actually looking forward to seeing that positive test result. When I found out I was pregnant with my son my first reaction was to search online for any chance that the test could have given me a false positive! lol So yeah this is all very strange to me. But strange in a good way.

Runnershirl - I just wanted to say that I have a friend of mine that also has a pituitary tumor. She's been kindof trying to conceive for a few years now. Basically just not using protection...but not paying attention to when she ovulates or anything like that. I wish you the best of luck!!!

naz - Welcome to the group. What did the doctor say about the blood test. If it was me and if AF haven't showed up in a few more days I would re-test. Good Luck and keeping my fingers cross for you please let us know.

runnershirl - I just wanted to say what a blessing your story was to me. How are you feeling? When are you testing? I think I will test in a few more days if my temp continue to go up. I will let you know.

fitzerin - Who was you asking the question to? If you are talking to me my cd is normally 30-32 but mostly 30 days. I'm currently on cd 26 12 dpo and cd means cycle days and dpo means days past ovulation. I hope this help you out. Also I should be getting AF on the 15th as well. Krissy68

all of u plz let me know i have symptoms of preg. 7 was my period date now 10 and no periods only i saw a spot and this never happens to me if i see spot after few hours my bleeding starts and now for three days i hardly see a spot once a day.. what is all this? this is normal ? my hcg level is less then 2 which is i know non pregnant BUT is there any possibility that it increses suddenly?

sorry ladies I have been MIA but how is everyone....well AF showed her ugly litte face monday so im back on cd 3 as of today. Oh well I will keep trying....how is everyone else... any BFP's? I miss u guys !!!

Good morning,ladies! I hope you are all well..

Naz~ I don't know that anyone here can tell you whether you're pregnant, heck, we're wishing someone would confirm the same for us. "spotting" can be consistent with implantation bleeding, but as I understand it other factors also come into play, such as how many days did this occur after ovulation/potential conception. I don't know about the Hcg testing...You might be best seeing a dr., or if you are tight on $$ I know there are woman's centers nationwide that will give you prego tests free, but you'll have to look them up by going to the American Pregnancy Association, and look for free women's clinics. I went last year when I was anxious and didn't want to count on an OTC test.

Elove~ I'm sorry about AF...Help the sadness fade by thinking of anything that you wanted to do that you couldn't if you were pregnant, like drink that glass of wine, run a mile, etc., etc. Take this week vacation from the process to heal your spirit and soul for next month. (I didn't do that last year when I was ttc, and it took a toll on me.) (You may have to remind me of this when/if I get my AF!)

Krissy, you're expected AF is 15th, and mine is 17th. Right behind ya. My RE told me yesterday that I could test on the 14th (who is she kidding, I've already tested acouple of times...getting the BFN keeps me from getting my hopes up and yet, I know it's too soon so I don't get overly sad either. Strange way to keep my emotions balanced.) Then again, I am strange. ha! I'm also glad my story meant something to someone...It's so exciting to see answers to prayers that you know NO one could have done, but only your higher power...I had to share...and hopefully in ways, it uplifts you all too. BTW, I think I'll test another hpt on Fri.

Fitz~ I'm on cd15 and I'm 10dpo/10dpiui...I expect nasty AF on the 17th..(hopefully NOT!) Somewhere on this forum (found it last year) is a posting relating to acronyms that you can search for. In fact, I may look for it again one day as there are still things I don't recall. Also, I understand depression well as I've experienced it too and it's not something to take lightly. But, with property medical guidance, faith in soemthing(whatever your personal beliefs are) and support from friends, you should be fine. :) Also--with regard to your friend w/pituitary tumor, if she needs someone to talk to, I'd be happy to share what I've learned in this process with her. I know pit tumor can cause infertility, but I also understand the key is understanding what, if anything, is imbalanced in your hormones. For me, drs can't find anything yet, (which is why the progesterone thing was a concern for me)...but, with a good RE(who specializes in hormones), she should be in good hands. I tried for years the natural way without watching for ovulation or anything too, and now I think I wasn't ovulating. I also think that the more your body goes without certain hormones, the sooner it could start menopause, which I personally think is why they see a decrease in eggs for me..perhaps without the right hormones, by body was thinking it was time? Who knows, but lets hope your friend and I both caught it in time to still conceive.

As for me, I woke up with a nasty headache today. Strangely, I notice my skin is kinda glowing. Sounds like I'm grasping, I know...but let me explain..I also have psoriases, so it's been a concern of mine as to how it woudl react to no topicals while i'm prego. I've only put on organic shea butter type stuff and Mary Kay moisturizers...and suddenly today, I'm noticing all the spots are lookign a little thinner? Could it be that I'm eating healther and drinking more water--probably? But, I've also heard that some ppl with P, get better when pregnant. Little nauseated today too. gosh I hope thse aren't all phantom symptoms.

Best wishes and god bless to you all today!

hi all,
my af was due on 7th from 8th everyday i see a single brown or maroon small line when i wipe a lot.... now i think i am not preg as hcg is less 2 but i am concerned about next month.... should i count this spotting as periods or should i wait for bleeding as i have evry month this is the first time i hve spots.... how i will calculate my ovulation days now in june???

Hello All:

I have been reading this thread since it began, but decided not to join, b/c my hubby and I weren't trying (yet) so I wasn't really in the "TWW" per say. However, at 8 or 10dpo (had two days of EWCM so don't know which day to count as O day because I usually only have it one day) I started spotting light brown, which pretty much stopped 2 days later. So....I guess I am waiting with y'all!
8 or 10 dpo spotting
9 or 11 dpo low back ache, and pretty strong cramps,
all this accompanied by sore bbs and fatigue.

Runner,
I also was very inspired by what you shared, thank you for sharing such encouraging words. I am being faithful that God wants me and all of us to have healthy pregnancies and strong babies. So to all of us that are hopefully getting BFP's soon, I pray for sticky babies!!! I am not letting myself think negative thoughts at all, I am praying them away and speaking scripture over myself during times of almost doubt. I am also due for AF on the 13 or 15, (sorry so confusing). So I will be testing on the 13th at the soonest. Thanks for letting me share!!
-Ash

Ash~ You sound like you have the same symptoms as the rest of us. Baby dust to you! When do you plan to test? (you weren't confusing at all!) Looks like next week is the big week for us. You know what--I'm going to savor this week adn my dreams of what will be...Next week I may be numb with wine (haha)and have to start over, but let's hope not. I'm also glad my story touched you. The last year I have seen so many amazing things adn ways the Lord has worked in my life,and it makes me wonder if perhaps that's why "it" didn't happen sooner. Perhaps I just wasn't ready? Hopefully it's all good now.

Keep us posted on your results on 13th, as well as symptoms prior...sounds real promising.

Krissy - you asked me: "How long are your cd? What cd and dpo are you?" I was asking what you meant by it. lol

runnershirl - My depression is handled by medication when I can't handle it on my own. When my son was born I was put on Zoloft because I couldn't deal with the PPD ontop of my regular depression. I am currently medication free and I hope to be able to stay that way with this next pregnancy as well.

I so suck with the acronyms...I just type what I mean. lol And forgive me but I'll never warn people of Too Much Info (TMI) because lets face it...we are all sharing too much anyway! lol

My current symptoms:
headache, nausea (since Saturday still), loss of apitite and cramping. However I can't tell if the cramping is the same as I get for my period or not...

I am so excited for all of us!

Runner,
I love how you look at life and circumstance...I will also try to just take in this week, and how it feels to think I may be a mommy so very soon! The Lord is so awesome, and this year I have also learned about His timing, and that I would rather have things in His perfect timing. However, the hard part is sitting back and accepting, "Lord, maybe this isn't the right time for what I want." Anyway, I feel in my heart that since I handed my baby-making plans to Him, then maybe now is the time for me!

Today, I still have some inconsistent low back ache and on and off mild cramps. Moody and tired.

Hoping for good news for us all!
Ash

hey girls I don't have much time to read all the post so I will catch up tomorrow. It has been a very busy day at work. I just wanted to let you all know I am currently on cd27/13dpo and my temp took a nose dive from yesterday 98.39 to 97.94 and when my temp go down the I know AF will be showing her pretty little face. She should be here between 12-15 and I can actually take a test on the 13th. I am bloated, lower back pain, creamy cm, constipated, fatigue, gassy, some dizziness, irritated, and cramps. I did take a hpt on 6/3 (6dpo) it was negative and I took another test on 6/8 (11dpo) it was negative again. What do you girls think? Good luck to everyone and I will talk to you tomorrow. Krissy68

Does anyone else have cold symptoms? UGH I've had this runny nose and sore throat for a day or so now. Along with my body aches and nausea it's making me a very uncomfortable person. :-(
