Could I be????
| Mon, 11-19-2007 - 10:14am |
Hi!
I was wondering...I have been TTC for 11 months now. This month according to MY calender AF is due today, according to the ivillage fertility planner AF is due on Thursday.
I have been testing all weekend and today...all negative. I have been using the First Response test which says you can "test" five days sooner. Is it possible I "could" be pregnant...is it safe to say I am not because of all the ngative results...or should I wait for AF?
Does anyone have advice or stories to tell about testing?

Thank you for your support...and also...WOW, your daughters names are our top two choices for girls..Olivia and Hannah..(maybe it is a sign for me that I posted that message here).
My cycle is not a regular 28 days. It can be from the least of 29 to the most of 36. This month I have been taking FertilAID and an otc opk. We "did it" they day the opk turned positive, as well as the day after which was Nov. 6th according to the test.
I have been on the TTC-Your First Child board for awhile, but I wanted to come here to get advice from people who have been or are pregnant.
Any advice on my cycle? I am really becoming obesessed with testing, I just took another test in the bathroom and I am AT WORK!!

I use to be a 28 day cycle until i had the depo shot in dec which made me sick so i stop and just last month i got my af for the first time. we have decided to ttc #3. if
Test was negative. I went out and bought a different brand too! I was using First Response forever, but I just tested with Fact Plus and I also bought EPT (yes, I am crazy).
I guess I should not give up until AF comes. But I was dreaming of telling our families during Thanksgiving dinner. Now the day will be filled of my mother saying "When will I be a grandmother?" I will bore you with a little background on me if you have any advice...
My husband and I got married in 4/06. We began TTC in Dec. 06, in Jan. 07 his brother got married and they started to try as well. She (SIL) was not even into having a baby, not excited, etc. Of course they get pregnant on their FIRST TRY! During the honeymoon!
It really, really hurt me. I had a nervous breakdown and cried for weeks. I kept thinking "I am the one with the closet full of maternity clothes! I am the one with nursery furniture picked out and I am the one with a stack of pregnancy books on my nightstand!" Anyway, they had the baby a few weeks ago, the first grandchild on both sides of the family.
Since in Dec. it is going to be a year of trying, I probably have to go to the doctor, but my mom and mil keep asking me "is everything ok? when are you going to the doctor? should we come? do you need me to buy you an OV watch?" I had to tell them we were trying after my emotional breakdown in the begining of the year.
Thanksgiving will be a nightmare...everyone will say "When are you two going to have a baby and join BIL & SIL?" (the family that does not know our struggle)

Hey im waiting and testing too. im supposed to start AF between the 17th and the 21st .. the 23rd at THE LATEST. yesterday when i was shopping i got the feeling that i was going to start. i got really sore on the outside of my "" vagigi "" which is my typical sign and then i started having a lot of really liquidy discharge but never any blood. nd it stopped like 15 min later. im not feeling like im going to start any time soon. i usually know days in advance if you kno what i mean. but my last period was september 22nd. i tested maybe 4 days ago and then again yesterday morning. all negatives but i found the number to the health department, so i think im going to go in today and get a blood test and an ultra sound. there are so many women on this forum who are pregnant or think they might be and still are having negative HPTs so, dont give up! and yeah im hoping to tell my dad hes going to be a grandfather for his birthday which is the 29th. but i wont see him until much later. so i have plenty of time to find out.
dont give up! keep testing and keep praying <333
I am so happy I found other gals that are either testing this week and that can help me with my struggle! Thank you for your prayers and for telling me not to give up! I will try to remain calm and not stressed.....breathe....one day I will be blessed! But damn it I want it to be TODAY!!
