So, I posted about what I thought was implantation bleeding. I had that yesterday and nothing today just really tender breasts, mild back pain and some mild cramps that feel like when I O. I'm tired but its a million degrees and I am up at 5 am at the gym before work. SO that isn't a fair "symptom" but I forgot about he sensitive smell thing and yesterday, we made lobster and the smell killed my appetite and made me sick to my stomach.

I wasn't TTC but if it happened by bf and I will be very happy. We aren't financially stable but in 2008 in the US who is?!?

Anyway I am thinking I know my body and that I am pregnant though 6 months post MC. Do I sound confused?

Did I mention that I have a mom who told me I need to wait 5 years to get pregnant while I watch all my friends do it?

Oh and um I don't understand many of the abbreviations on these boards...BFN? BFP? huh?

Confused but hopeful in NJ

Hello :), I can help you with the abbreviations :). BFN - Big Fat Negative on the pregnancy test (HPT). BFP - Positive... I'm new here as well, mostly lurking and reading other's posts. I also had what I thought was implantation bleeding, have been very tired, breasts tender and sore, back aching. But nothing I can't blame on stress or work recently LOL. Nevertheless, my AF (Aunt Flo) is due on Friday and I just couldn't wait any longer and took the test today. Of course, BFN... We're not even actively trying to conceive yet, just had a few oops LOL. By the way, where in NJ are you? I'm in Queens but we're moving to Kearny in less than 2 weeks :))

BFN=Big Fat Negative ( talking about HPT's (Home Pregnancy Tests), BFP = Big Fat Positive.

Hi Jenn,

I am in Union County only like 15 minutes south of Kearny.

Thanks for the help on the abbreviations :) The more I lurk the more I figure it out and of course my brain is fried on baby stuff so even DTD confusing. Then I figured it out!

I took a test on Friday (home alone and know my body well) and it was a BFN! I will wait one more week to see what happens before I flip. I want a baby very badly. I am 30 and my bf and I are back together after being torn apart by a family move 10 years ago. We want to have a baby and the only thing that is holding us back is the money thing. But its not like we can't fix it we are on the right path now and things are much better than they were 6 months ago when I miscarried. I think its just jitters because in all honesty, I have been dying to be a mom!

I had AF on May 19 which was like days early compared to other months (30-32 days usually) and I am always on so maybe I still have a few days to go. I did a due date calc and it said Feb 23rd so yes Laura, we would be very close in due dates.

I have had 3 friends have babies in the past 3 months and I have that I want this jealousy thing going on in my head.

I love these boards...now if only I could figure out how to make a siggy!
