Is it possible??

My husband and I want to have a baby so about a month ago I stopped taking bc pills. My last period was on 3/20/08 so I was due for my next period about 5 days ago but nothing yet.

I have been cramping for 3 days now off and on, very light cramping though. My breasts feel a little sore but not too bad, my lower back hurts off and on as well. But all these symptoms can be because of my period too. My periods are always on time and the same all the time.

Could this mean I'm pregnant or maybe its because I stopped taking the pill and my body is just going through changes. I want to test but I'm afraid it might be too early. I don't know what to think.

Could I be, or is it in my head?

hey all, thought I would post another message on this site as I find it really helps to egt my thoughts out and written down. Even though I have a loving husband I dont want to fill his brain with all of my mixed up thoughts...

So we are trying again after a early miscarriage last month, we did plan originally to miss out this month due to an influx of family birthdays during Jan, do we want to add to that - no.. however we have been naughty a couple of times, which funnily enough was all it took last month as well.

Now I am having some consistent complaints this month which ring bells as to last month. Heartburn (especially bad in the afternoon/evening), boobs not reduced from last month, light headaches daily, and some small pimples on my face (dont usually get). Now am I wishing and looking/creating symptoms similar to what I had last month in the hope I maybe pregnant again. Or are these actually real symptoms?

Its anyones guess right now. Am trying to keep levelled headed about it as dont want to run away with the idea I could be in case I get let down at the end of the month, which is more likely than not considering how little we have.

Lets wait and see, I have to wait up until 6 weeks anyway as after a miscarriage it could take that long to get your period. Its very hard all of this, especially when its something you want so bad,

Good luck to you all

Longing for another baby...

My name is Sarah...i'm 18 engaged and working a part time job. I already have a daughter who is nearly two, she was conceived by rape...but i love her and in my mind i made her by myself =p.

I am living with my fiance and we have talked about having a baby of our own, at the time we talked i didnt have a job only he did...so it was out of the question til we had more income like we do now.

I went off my birth control about 2 months ago, and now my period is 3 days late...took a test today and it was a negative...

Back in december my bc messed up and i got pregnant but soon miscarried before i could tell my family, only my fiance and my best friend knew.

Everywhere i go i see pregnant women, and newborns, it kills me and i dont think my fiance understands how much it does...

I'm just really hoping that soon enough i will get to be pregnant again...and have another lil baby in my arms to love and to hold....

PAM AND PRETENDING TO BE PATIENT

PAM.......Everything you said I have felt and experienced EVERY month I haven't been pregnant. The same thing is running through my mind. My husband and I have been trying for 4 months now and I have cried and people know we are trying so they always ask "when are you guys having kids huh?". ARG. Not only when I see pregnant women I want it, but at least 6 people I know have not planned a baby and have either got knocked up....or got someone knocked up. Totally irresponsible and isnt even stable enough for a baby. Here we are, we have a house, careers, all the toys you could want like a 24 ft boat, camper, etc. and the people around us are just getting drunk and oops! It kills me too so those thoughts are perfectly normal! And it's always the people who get pregnant on accident who say "oh just be patient it will come" bullcrap. what do they know? lol! Anywayz on a brighter side dont worry.....just think of it as your body is waiting for just the right little personality for your baby! =) I wish you the BEST of luck.....=)

Pretending to be patient

I'll be 25 in two months and I'm engaged, living with my fiance and will be married before the year is out. We both want children and so we decided just to let nature takes it's course. Both of our mothers are pratically begging for grandchildren...lol It's been several months and I try to pretend I don't care and just let it sneak up on me, but in actuality it's killing me. My emotions are all out of whack, I'm crying a lot, I'm positively envious when I see ladies who are pregnant or young mothers with a little guy or gal. I contantly find myself pointing out that it's not fair that some people get pregnant so easy, I'm testing practically every month and imagining that every PMS symptom I feel is actually my growing baby...but it's not. I just want someone to tell me this is normal when ttc. I just keep thinking what if I can't have children? I would be devestated. We're a successful couple, with a nice place to live and good, steady jobs...but I guess things like this don't discriminate.
