I think I might be pregnant, but I'm so tired of getting my hopes up, I thought mabye some opinions would help. Bear with me though-
I'm new at this charting and ttc. I have regular cylces, every 29 days like clockwork, and I have been off the pill for a year. We did not ttc until Nov (as my husband was in Iraq...)......anyway..... This month is the first month I charted. I started my temps late into the cycle though. I started on cd 13 and they were in the mid 97's. On CD 17 it went up to 98 and has stayed around there(98.1, 98.15, 98.0). I have no idea when I ovulated. I don't know why this is so hard for me. We had intercourse the CD 6, 10, 12, 15, and 17. We tried so hard to meet the every other day, but its hard!! Anyway, I started feel crampy on CD 14 and have felt that way up to today, CD 21. Over this past weekend, every time I ate, I would barely eat anything and I was miserable. I don't know if it was indigestion or heart burn, but I felt so full and sick, and gassy! Last friday(CD 16) I was feeling dizzy and nauseous all day. It came in spurts. Monday(cd 19) I was shakey all day and had spurts of dizziness and nauseous. Yesterday, I went out to lunch and on the way back in the car, I felt queasy. My back aches bad when I get into bed. And I was peeing a lot, but haven't noticed it as much now. My nipples aren't dark but look huge and today I ccalled off work because I was so tired I couldn't get out of bed, and felt nauseous and dizzy. Now, maybe I'm just coming down with something but I hate setting myself up for disappointment. I took a test today for the heck of it and it was BFN. I have no idea why else I could be this way. I've never had heart burn before either! Any input would be appreciated. I haven't had implantation bleeding either. Does everyone have that or no? So many questions. AHHH- and the headaches, OMG. Everyday lst week I had one starting CD14, the first day of crampy feeling. I'm just a mess if I'm not PG!
ANy advice or kind words would help! I'm just going crazy!!!
Thanks!

It is hard not knowing one way or the other. What cycle day are you on today? I have had three children and I never had implantation bleeding with any of them. I would miss my period that is how I knew I was pregnant. I was like you, you could set the world according to my cycle; every 28 days. Now every woman is different and has different symptoms and experiences. A big indicator for me was being really tired and lots of nausea.
My suggestion would be, I know its hard, but wait to take a hpt until you are late or I think some women have said that the First Response test gives you a pretty good indication up to 5 days before you miss your period.
Good luck and I wish you the best in conceiving your bundle of joy.....
If your temps went up on CD 17 and have stayed there ever since then you prolly ovulated on CD 16. The cramps before that day were probably "ovulation pains" and nothing to worry about. Anything from CD 17-23 can prolly be chalked up to an illness of some sort because implantation doesn't happen until 7-10 days past ovulation so there isn't any symptoms until then. If you ovulated on CD 17 like I think you did then you BD'd twice during your fertile window giving you a "good" chance for pregnancy.
I would wait until AF doesn't show to test or at least near when AF is due. I don't know what CD you are actually on right now.
Also if you aren't using it already I would suggest using a web charting site like fertility friend to chart your cycles that way it will give you a better idea of what is happening because you will be able to see how your temps rise/fall throughout the cycle.
Good luck and I hope you get a BFP soon =)

Oh trust me we all know how it is haha. As soon as the Big O happens we are ALL thinking omg this can be it, if we have a symptom we start thinking about it even more..its normal, everyone here does it =)
Like I said hold out until the day AF is due and if she doesn't show *and I hope she doesn't* then test and by that time (12dpo) you might get a BFP on a sensitive test, I read on fertility friend that the majority of people get their positives 13 days after ovulation and onwards from that point =)
