Could this be it?

Ok..so I don't know what to do. I had unprotected sex with my partner 2 days before my period, but my period came on January 15, 2007. Normally, they last for more than a week, but this time, it was only 5 days. Right after that, we started having unprotected sex again, sometimes 3+ times a day (all unprotected). It's now February 6, 2007, and I have been feeling so weird lately.

I have had severe indigestion for the past few weeks, and I have been going through these major mood swings like never before...One minute I am happy and laughing, and the next minute, I am having bad anxiety or yelling at someone. I haven't missed my period yet, but I have been having little cramps, mostly in the lower part of my tummy, and I have also been having headaches.

The last few days I have been really nauseous in the evening, right before bedtime. Last night, I had to concentrate on breathing in order to not vomit while I was driving home. I have had pregnancy "scares" with the same guy before, but all those times, I've had the gut feeling that I wasn't pregnant, and obviously, its turned out to be true. But this time, I feel like I am pregnant. I keep telling myself that I am...

Little One

When I first found out I was pregnant I was sad, but when my child's father said he was going to be there for me I was ecstatic.

I first got pregnant at 16 years old, in my sophomore year. I am now preganant with my second child and I have not told my boyfriend that iIm pregnant again. I gave my first child to someone I know because I wanted to finish school. This is my last year of high school.

My first child knows me as mama, and so after I graduate I'm going to get my baby back and move.

How I knew

Okay well on January first, I felt sick to my stomach and the next day I started throwing up!! Well on the third I started my period although that happened with my son. I continued to feel sick and was throwing up all the time! I was trying to convince myself I just had the flu or stress because we had just found out my hubby would be deployed this march.

After a few weeks I knew I needed to stop and take a test so around the 15th I took a test and what do you know, I was pregnant!!!!! My hubby was off training so unfortunately I couldn’t tell him right away. He gets home this Saturday.

I'm so excited! My tummy has grown a little and I can feel some movement - it’s the best lol just thought I’d share!

I need BABY DUST!!!

Hi Mums-to-be! I'm so glad that this site exists. I read every single one of these stories, and I'm glad I'm not alone. I left the birth control pill in October after being on it for about 5 months. I've been trying now for 2 and half months, and nothing is happening.

I have been to the Gynae and he says everything is fine..I even thought maybe I had PCOS after reading Jools Oliver's book. I know I was being really silly. By the way that is a great book!! It's called "Minus 9 to 1". Oh, and I don't have PCOS. Plus my DH is 13 years older than me... I'm not implying anything but I'm very confused.

I just thought it would just happen.

Never in a million years-post adoption

We did 5 years of IUIs, 2 IVFs & a reproductive immunologist consultation that led us to believe we would never get & stay pregnant. We adopted twin babies & due to being busy & tired we only bd about once a month. I was grieving the fact that they were 12 months & I would never have a baby again. A few weeks later we went to the Bahamas. I was nauseous off & on (figured it was the unusual food). I was tired (with 14 month old twins who wouldn't be). I also noted when trying on swimsuits that I was able to fill out the boobs (a first for a barely A cup). I also thought I looked a bit fat at the waist even though my weight was stable. I wasn’t sure when my last period was but thought it had been a while, but I didn't test b/c I felt like my period would start any day (I was crampy).

This lasted for a while & eventually got to the point that I was annoyed. I called the OB & told him I needed some Provera as I had not had a period in a while & I was getting uncomfortable. He said I had to do a beta HCG to be sure I was not pregnant first. I had done two HPTs-all negative. One I did the same day as the HCG. It was negative. The beta HCG showed my HCG was 186,500... much higher than the 30 needed for a HPT to be positive. I was10 weeks pregnant!! I actually carried this little miracle full term & with no medical intervention against the advise of my repro-immunologist.

Since then I talked to a friend (an OB) & she said it is true some women never test positive on a HPT. The HCG just doesn't secrete into the urine as it does with most ladies. I never was nauseous for more than a minute. I loved my pregnancy. I was only uncomfortable the week of my due date (back pain).

She is now 28 months. I just finished breastfeeding her in October. Came to the board wondering about post-coital spotting. We bd on Thursday & Friday & Saturday I've had one episode each day of pinkish spotting when I wipe (day 15). Weird cycle. 1st day of period was 1/20- ended about 7 days later & it seemed like I had EWCM then.

No use in testing for me with an HPT. Guess I'll call my OB on Monday if it persists since it is likely just related to bding not being pregnant. I hate being in limbo. My old mantra while trying to conceive was nothing means nothing & everything means nothing & everything could mean something. Pretty much every month for 5 years I had some symptom teasing me into thinking I was pregnant. Then when I finally did get pregnant I never noticed & blew them all off because so many times those same symptoms meant NOTHING. The real kicker was the multiple BFN when I was 7 & 10 wks pregnant!
