Hi All,



About a month ago, I posted on here that my hubby and I were TTC, I was 3 weeks late and did a PG test and it came out neg. :( So, we of course we were dissappointed, but kept trying. We went on our second honeymoon in July and I was ovulating and since we were on vacation, we took advantage of our suites' king-sized bed. Then, for the rest of the month we kept having intercourse with a few days of rest in some places. At the end of July I noticed that I was bleeding, kind of heavy, so again I was disappointed and told my hubby that AF came and maybe next month we could try again, then....AF started to taper off. She was there when I first noticed it, so I put my gear on and waited for her wrath. At the end of the night, nothing was there and when I went to the restroom, nothing was there. The same the next day..nothing. SO....DH and I had intercourse and right afterwards I had a very light, brownish discharge and nothing more for the rest of the day. We did the same thing the day after and again the discharge and nothing more. Then it all stopped. I am asking this question because I have been off of BC for 3 months now and ever since I stopped I have been back to being irregular; BUT I still was visited by AF. This month, she came (or I thought so) and left after a day. The funny thing about that is, she came exactly 29 days from my LMP and that has NEVER happened; except for when I was on BC. I haven't had any breast/nipple tenderness (although I had a breast reduction 5 years ago that might factor in on that) and a little bit of nauseousness. Now I am experiencing cramp-like pain, but it's a tickling more than a pain. And right after AF visited for those few hours I was SOOO moody, I cried because my husband went into the kitchen and turned a dripping faucet to a higher flow rate rather than off like I had asked him to. So, my hormones were out of whack. Just wanted to know your opinions on this. This is our first child and I was wondering if you all thought I should take a test and risk being disappointed once again, or wait it out to see if AF comes. Thanks for reading my novel :)

To follow up on my recent post (can't believe that I'm not finished writing)! I have had a few other symptoms, but I didn't think that they were significant until I read some other posts. Lately, I have been a little dizzy and really moody first thing in the morning (and that's odd because I usually sicken people because I am such a cheerful morning person). Anyway, I have been urinating like crazy (I was woken up out of my sleep twice and had to dash to the bathroom). I am fatigued and usually have energy in the evenings and I can't sleep at night for the past 2 weeks. I just want to sleep all day long and stay up at night although I am tired at night but when I lay down I can't sleep. I haven't had headaches, but my nose has been runny first thing in the morning and I just chalk it up to allergies (we have 2 cats and a dog) and deal with it. If I don't eat at a certain time I feel nauseaous and after I eat I'm fine. Haven't vomiited though, although there are times when I feel like I would be relieved if I did, but I never do. So, that's about it...any comments would be very much appreciated. Again, sorry for writing such a novel about this, it's just I have never experienced this before and I am kinda scared. Thanks again.
