I posted something last week with possible PG symptoms and was unsure of certain dates. Now I'm confusing myself and would like some help trying to figure everything out please. I had regular AF on Dec. 24 2007. It usually last 5 days, the 5th being spotty and light. I am always 28 days from the first day of AF before next AF. So by my calculating, first day of AF in Jan. should have been 21st 2008. The week before that the palms of my hands and fingers broke out into these horrible blisters, like eczema. It has since cleared up. I started to bleed on 1/19. I usually have really bad PMS and cramps a few days before AF, but I had none. I figured that this was my AF and I got the dates wrong. It wasn't as heavy as usual and ended 1/21. Nothing unusual happened the rest of the week. Then 1/28 I woke up with a dull headache and AF like cramps, my lower back hurt so bad that I had to lay down for a minute. I also noticed that my mouth was kind of dry and tasted weird but I couldn't pinpoint the taste. At this point, PG is last thing on my mind, I'm worried I have a medical problem and was going to go to emergency room 1/30 but decided to make appt at Planned Parenthood. Well the symptoms persisted accompanied by a change in my bowel movements, I wasn't able to go as much as usual, and my bbs felt huge. My bf even mentioned that they seemed heavy. I took 2 PG tests over the weekend and both

When i dont know how thing are going but the test that i took was the first respond one and it told me i was pregnant 3 days before my last period. and i never did mist that period, i got then at 5 weeks pregnant. Ur best way to know if u are pregnant is to have an ultrasound done, you would see it right away no mader how far along u are there would atlest be a fluid bag in ur uterus. I do know someone who pregnancy home test would show that she was pregnant until she was 5 months. Talk to ur doctor about it and u can wright back if u have question or just need to talk. my name is mireille i`m 19 and pregnant of 30 weeks.


waiting for ur news.

Thank you for the insight. You're right, I need to see my DR. regardless if I am PG or not. Something is definitely going on with my body. I too have read quite a few posts about some women NEVER getting a BFP. I would like to get a sense of when I would have ovulated and been fertile as I don't really keep track of that. Also something that is unusual for me is the past maybe 5 days I've noticed that I don't really have any CM. It's kind of watery. And about 2 weeks ago, before thoughts of PG my BF noticed something in my VG that he has not noticed before, Sorry if TMI. He said it felt like a small ball. So I checked today and sure enough I can feel like a hard nub or ball. What the heck is this? Anyone ever heard of this? Should I have reason to be concerned? Please anything will help ease my stress.


Thank you everyone so much. I love this place.

I personally would recommend you either wait atleast until your AF is a no show then test again, or call your doctor and tell them the symptoms and that you are getting BFN at home.

Thank you Wendy. That is a great idea to compare my symptoms with my next cycle. I've never been this dry down there, so that is what worries me. I found a great website that for me is a little easier to understand than fertilityfriend.com. It's called mymonthlycycles.com. this way I'll have a better idea as to when I would have conceived, if I have. And yes, I think I need to make an appt anyway to see what is going on. The test strips should be here today or tomorrow, so I'll test again then. Today I've have headache and cramping, dizzy and nauseous, and bbs are getting increasingly sore. The metal mouth has been the only consistent reminder that something is going on. Also, there is no doubt that my belly is firmer, even on the sides of my abdomen. I hate playing this waiting game. This forum is one of the only things keeping me sane right now. Being able to see what others are going through and comparing symptoms. I feel so blessed to have found it.


Thanks again for the advise, I really appreciate it. Baby dust to everyone who needs it.

Hey thanks!! I'll try that website right away. Anything helps, just trying to get a better idea of what and when things would've happened and if what I'm feeling is normal. So I guess maybe if I am PG I would be like 6 weeks? My last regular AF was Dec. 24 so it goes from that date right? I'll figure this out eventually but knowing for sure would be so much better, haha. Good luck to everyone and thanks for the help.

UPDATE: So the PG test strips came in the mail today. I could hardly wait to test but I made it an hour. I was so nervous and had butterflies, sure that it was going to be BFP. Well it was 2 BFN. I just don't know what to think. I know that I need to see my DR anyway to figure out what is going on so I'll schedule an appt tomorrow. I'm still very convinced that I am PG. Right now I have a headache, metal mouth, sore bbs and dizzy. I couldn't even finish my lunch today. I also feel feverish but I'm not. Has anyone had something similar to this happening to them? Please any advise would be great. Something just tells me that I am. I've looked up every other possibility and nothing else seems to fit. HELP ME before I go insane. Sorry, crazy moment. Thanks in advance for putting up with me, LoL. I'm so confused......
