I just called the doctor and the bloodwork came back positive! I guess those HPT's aren't 99% accurate as they claim to be. There are so many women here who all have tested negative, and are still pregnant.

Now I'm just hoping that I can carry full term. I miscarried in January. ALways, something to be worried about.

Please let me know how you are doing. Is this your first time TTC?

HEY JOCEY!!!! That is awesome!!! I'm so glad to hear it! How long have you been TTC? Oh, Yeah, this is my first month TTC. So exactly how far along are you???!!!! Do you want a boy or a girl? Sorry for all of the questions! I'm just really excited for you!

I went off my pills in the middle of September so I'm still a little skeptical about myself. I'm worried my system is just screwed up. But I'm 10 days late today. My usual 28 day cycle has been so far a 38 day cycle this time! AHHH!!!! I'm about to go crazy! I'm still not really having any symptoms. Are you having any yet?

Congratuations! I look foward to hearing from you again! :-)

Honestly iv nina02, I haven't felt much at all. I get a little nauseated if I go to long without eating, but other then that nothing. I'm sorry I wish I could be more help.

I'm not really having any symptoms. I get a little sick to my stomach if I go too long without eating. Other than that, nothing. It actually worries me a little bit that I'm not feeling too much. I think I'm little more paranoid this time since I have m/c'd in the past.

We've been TTC on and off since January. I don't care if we have a boy or girl....just a healthy baby. I'm really worried about miscarrying now. I need to get my mind off of it.

I am wishing the best for you though. Thanks for writing back! Keep in touch, I'd love to know any new news!

Jocey,

You are 6 weeks tomorrow? You mean you didn't have one positive urine test in 6 weeks? How is that possible? I'm just wondering because I had this really "weird" period a couple of weeks ago and I've been testing and they've all come up negative.

Actually, I just double checked the calendar...I'll be six weeks on Friday. The last urine test I took was last thursday, 6 days ago. So then I was 4 weeks and 5 days. At 5 days after AF, I was still showing negative.

I didn't want to keep wasting money on HPT's so that's when I called the doctor.

There are plenty of women are pregnant and never have a positive HPT. It's just a fluke thing I guess. Not a very scientific explanation...sorry.

Don't worry about misscarrying! Just be happy about this baby and stay healthy and take it easy! I don't think you have anything to worry about! :-)

Do you think that me coming off my pills in the middle of September has anything to do with me being 10 days late (so far) or do you think I really could be pregnant? I've gone off the pills before, but wasn't late for AF... I actually had an early one.

Look foward to hearing from you! Have you broke the news to everyone yet?

Congratulations Jocey,

Try to take your mind of the m/c. Think POSITIVE, you've overcome the biggest hurdle which is trying and succeding. Lots of luck your way, and throw some baby dust mine.

Thank you Nikki and Sweet Chic. I've told a couple of friends here at work (They know that hubbie and I have been trying, so I wanted to share with them) We were actually going to wait until Thanksgiving to tell family. That way we could tell them in person.

We had this cute idea....after thanksgiving dinner, while everyone was having their pumpkin pie, my husband was going to bring me a pig bowl of pickeles and ice cream. Then just sit back and see how long it takes everyone to notice.

Sweet chic, as far as your question, goes.....I really don't know. I haven't been on the pill in so long. But you said (I think) that last time you went off the pill, your AF wasn't this whacked out. Have you tried calling a nurse at your OB/GYN? Maybe they could tell you over the phone what you should be expecting.

Remind me again...have you had or are you going to have bloodwork.

I'm sorry I can give you more information. I know how difficult it is to just wonder.

Let me know if you've heard anything new.

Thinking about you and hoping for the best!

Jocey
