Another Could I be Pregnant?
| Thu, 07-12-2007 - 1:11pm |
So we had planned on trying to conceive as soon as I was done with school which is still months away, but I just started doing the charting so I could get use to it and so we could try asap after school. Well I'm still new to the charting so I could be wrong but as far as I can tell I ovulated on July 2, on June 28 we had an accident with the condom (It came off). Now I'm 4 days from when my period should be coming and instead of my normal pre period symptoms I'm having others like nausea and fatigue. This may be TMI but I usually have old blood spotting up to a full week before my period and I've had none this time around but yesterday I had some pink tinged mucous and light cramping.
I'm a little nervous that I may be pregnant. Can this be so and do I have to wait till my period is late before I can test? I'm worried because we weren't planning on conceiving yet and so I'm still taking meds that I will probably have to stop if I'm pregnant. One of the other reasons we were waiting was so when we starting trying I could make sure I was off the meds and on alternatives if possible. Now I'm wondering if I should try to go off my meds until I know for sure but one of them is Allegra and at the height of summer is one of my worst periods with allergies.
I'm so torn as a part of me would love to be pregnant but the more rational part of me knows it would be better if it was when we were ready for it.

First of all, let me say, you are never prepared. I was 30 when my first son was born, a professional, together woman who thought she could handle anything. Nothing, and I mean nothing, could have prepared me for how my life would change. But it's a great change, I can't even remember what it was like before.. that world is so far away. Loving a child adds such richness to your life, such purpose. It's a wonderful gift. But I know how it is.. it's a tough challenge even for those who think they are ready.. but the secret is.. even they aren't "Ready".
As for your signs.. you could be. I have had similar symptoms...took a test on Wed and was negative, but it might have been too early. I was also taking Claritin D, and stopped, due to possible pregnancy. You could always call your Dr if you have concerns about Allegra. They could tell you one way or the other and put your mind at ease.
Sending a little patience your way.. it's hard to wait, and I hope it turns out the way you want. But if it doesn't.. remember, some plans are above us, and there is a reason. I hope that helps.
Oh hon..
I'm with the pp.
