I got my last AF on July 2nd, was ue to get it again on the 30th. I had a stressful weekend (found out one of my mother's dear friends, who was with me when my mom died, died. I was exuasted from being up crying Saturday evening till 4am so I slept most of the afternoon Sunday. All week I have been exausted still, taking naps everyday. It is now Friday and no period in sight, but I have been crampy and aching all week. My lower back aches,a very mild constant crampy feeling in my lower belly and my boobs have been tingly on and off, it actually feels like hot flashes in my boobs and then tingling and it comes and go's. I keep feeling like I will get it and have been in the bathroom more than anywhere else for two days, but nothing. I always get a bit crampy and achy before AF and urinate constantly the day before but geez this has been a 3 day thing. I took a Fist Response test about an hour ago (although I peed probebly 10 times before I went to get it) When I 1st did it I saw a VERY slight line that you could only see when you moved it a certain way, almost like there was a line there in the background of the test, maybe a VERY faint color to it but I stared so much my eyes may have been messing with me. Now 1 hour later you see no line at all. AGGGGGGGGGGG This is driving me NUTS. If it is going to come I just wish itt would. I have 2 kids and no plans to extend my family, though if I am I will be happy because God sometimes has other plans for us. I have not told my DH I am late because we went through this 9 months ago, I was on the pill and 5 days late. He was a mess. I would rather find out and if I am then try to break it to him without him having a nervous breakdown. LOL What are your thoughts on this? I feel like I am being consumed with what if's yet I feel like AF will start any minute since wensday. :o(

Thanks for any advice,

Konnie ( who has been sitting at my PC searching this message board for an hour going absolutely nuts)

They say a line is a line, but I think you should tke a test in the morning with your FMU(first morning urine). That is when your levels of hcg are at thier highest. Good luck getting the results your looking for.

I feel ya. : )

I'm going nuts waiting for my period, and it's still a week before I'm supposed to start. We're not planning any yet, but I'd like one – and I think it would be great for both of us if it were a surprise. I actually went and got a pregnancy test last night, just to have it for next week. I'm on B/C but have been on an antibiotic for three weeks now. This week I started to have some nasea and my lower stomach area feels tight and bloated. On top of that, someone I work with confused me for another girl who works here, and asked if I were expecting! My head keeps telling me that maybe I am, but I think that's just wishful thinking. I'm worried that I am pregnant, but also that I will be very disappointed when I get my period. I'm just trying to not think about it – but it's soooo hard.

I have an appt. with the dr. on Monday to see if my sinus infection has gone away, so I might see if she'll do a blood test. I doubt it, since I'm not late yet.

Keep your head up!
