Me and my husband have been trying to get pregnant for the last year and we havent had any luck. He got tested and he was told that his sperm wast that healthy and that there was a chance of him not being able to have kids....but not to give up just yet.... so we been trying I went to the doctor and he told us about doing the deed on a schedule :) ...and well my period was due last wednesday June 26 and as of today i havent gotten my period. I am never really late maybe just a day late or a day ahead.... I took Pregnancy test last friday and it came back negative...I dont want to get excited just in case i do get my period but its been 5 days since i was suppose to get it....I do have slight cramping so i dont know what to think...I do have a 3 year old daughter and i do remember when i was pregnant with her i also had cramps at the beginning of my pregnancy, but i just dont know what to think...any thoughts????

I am still trying myself and no luck yet, but one thing I have heard from a couple friends is that urine tests dont work for everyone. you might need to get a blood test at your doctor. As far as I know they are not that expensive especially if you have insurance. So, dont get down.
I have also been experiencing cramps. My nipples usually get very sore before my period. it should ( or should'nt hopefully) come on the sixth. And they dont hurt at all. My breasts are only slightly sore, but nothing compared to what other moms-to-be complain of.

Thank you for your response. I took another home test this morning and it was negative....When i was pregnant with my daughter before i took a home pregnancy test and it worked.....I honestly dont know if should i just wait out till i get my period (if i get it this month) or if i should just make a doctors appointment. My breast normally dont get sore at all when i get my Period...so I dont know.... Good luck on the 6th!

Thanks so much,
I really appreciate the thought. Today's been hard for me, our 11 yr old Akita is MIA and it s just another thing for me to stress on. Has your temperature stayed high since ovulation? cause mine has and from what i've interpreted thats a good sign. I've had headaches too which I never get. Have you had any headaches? I'm not sure why , but just knowing your going thru the same thing makes me feel like i'm not alone, since my partner who is very supportive just does not understand my emmotions. I have been literally an emmotional basket case from irritation to weeping (lots of it), but I dont really feel like thats telling me much since I could just be pre-menstrual. Well good luck to you too and whatever you do, waiting for your period or the doctor I hope it goes well. At the least I hope you dont get too down about it. I know I'm trying to keep positive.

Well, we found our dog, hes at the doggy jail. So, at least somethings going good. I totally feel the same way. my period is due tomorrow and i'm ready for it to come or not. I dont know if I can go through it again either. I got these early hpt's online and i took a bunch this whole month. It made my stress worse so i'm over taking those unless my periods late. Are you taking your temp? I was just wondering if it dipped right before your period came? My BBT this morning was the highest its been. Well, i'll let you know after tomorrow. Thanks for the good wishes about Bings (the Akita)

Yes, tested and was +++++++, it was faint but there. And yes, picked the "bad dog" up from the pound. He was so happy and hopefully he wont leave home again. I really knew I was mostly just cause the bb's hurt on the sides but not on the nips like pms. Now i'm waiting to figure out exactly what we want to do for insurance so that I can go to my first doc appt. Its been a really happy couple of days with me and Ryan. The only thing that has not been so great is the reaction from my dad. He does not think I know what I'm doing. Which is so offensive since I'm almost 27 yrs old and i've managed to not get preg since I was 15yrs old. I planned this and I know i'll be a kickass mom, I just wish my dad knew that in his heart. I guess you cant have everything. Good luck to you,
Baby Dust....
