I'm new to this message board and it sounds like a lot of you are going through the EXACT same thing I am! My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 4 months and have no children.

My LMP started on Oct 16 which means, based on a 28 day cycle (mine are pretty irregular though), that I should be getting my period today. I've felt kind of crampy, and had some spotting early last week. That would be about the right time for implantation bleeding and I have had many other symptoms. They are:

-extreme tiredness

-moodiness

-a constant headache that I cannot seem to get rid of

-slight nausea (it feels like I am car sick all the time) but I still get hungry and can eat

I took an early preg test last night and it came out negative but the instructions said that there is only a 69% chance it would show positive in a preg woman 2 days before her period.

I am going crazy waiting and would really love some advice or words of encouragement!

Thanks so much

Kristy

Well, first of all let me start by saying welcome to the board! :) Secondly, what brand of HPT did you use? B/C that also could determine whether your HCG levels are high enough for detection. Also it could just be very early in your pregnancy and your levels arent strong enough to detect yet. Each preg test is different. The symptoms you described are very possibly preg symptoms. I just found out a week ago that I am preg and I have been really moody myself, tired, and weird sleep patterns, staying up late some nights and waking up at wee hrs in the morning, so again you definitely could be. I suggest that you wait a couple of days b/c your levels are supposed to at least double within 36 to 48 hrs and if in deed you are preg then it should show in another HPT (i suggest an e.p.t.) and then that gives you time to have actually missed also. I wish you the best of luck and two great big bag fulls of baby dust!!!! Keep me posted and if you would like to chat sometime my email is breauxnicole@hotmail.com. Hope to hear from ya...:)

Nicki,

p.s.-it looks like we would have conceived around the same time, my EDD is July 18, 2004!!
