hello all, i have actually been lurking here, once in a while. i've never posted because most questions were asked. my husband and i have been TTC for 3 years now. it is getting very hard for me to test, our hearts have been broken too many times. but this month more than any other, i think i may be pregnant. I o'd around the 28th or 29th of Aug. i had slight bleeding 4-5 days after. i have been feeling sick, and have actually thrown up many times. my husband thinks it is too early to have morning sickness. i have been extremely tired and moody. i usually don't have those symptoms of pms. now for TMI, i actually found that i had some sort of leakage from BB's 9/5, i only noticed it once. and my CP is high, short, and soft. AF is due 9/12-9/13. i am scared to get my hopes up and i don't want to waste time and emotions on a neg. test. does anyone think these could be positive symptoms?

Hi and welcome.

I think we can all understand the disappointment when that BFN turns up each month, although mine has not been as long as yours. All of yous signs and symptoms do sound promising and it is possible to get them versus your PMS symptoms. Once the egg impants (the time you said was 4-5 days after O) it immediately makes your body start producing HCG and will cause symptoms. Now, I would still wait until the day of or the day after your AF is due to test. It will make the result easier to read (no faint lines to contemplate) and you and DH can truly celebrate it like it should be.

So - here's to you holding out until Friday before testing. Come back if you need help to make the time go by and encourage you to wait.

Also - there is also a board of us on TTC 6+ months that I just joined this month. They cover a wide assortment of topics including fertility drugs and stuff too.

Wishing you that BFP!!!!

thank you! it is so hard waiting, but i will wait until at least friday to test, probably even saturday. still feeling sick this morning, and crying a lot. i hardly ever cry! so i'll sit here, be patient and try not to get my hopes up too high. i will check out the TTC 6+, thanks again. i'll let you know how it goes this weekend.
