Hoping to be pregnant!

I was due to start my period today. I have not started yet. I am having cramping which has been going on since Wednesday. I also am having quite a bit of gas. Could these be pregnancy symptoms? Should I test or wait a couple of days? I think I ovulated on 8/22, but not for sure. LMP was 8/7. Any thoughts? Thanks for any input!!!

We're on the same cycle! But mine must be shorter since

I was due on the 3rd. O'd on 17th I think. I'm actually

getting ready to test AGAIN right now. Today would be a

good day to do it no matter what brand test you have.

Good luck!

I am in the exact same situation. My lmp ws on the same date and ovulated at the same time. I had the cramping and my period is now 3 days. I have been really emotional lately like crying and getting upset at the smallest things. I'm not sure what to do I ant to test but I am so afraid of that disappointment.

Same here! I want to test so badly, but afraid of the disappointment! I will definately test by Sunday am I think. I thought about testing tomorrow, but think I will wait another day. It is so weird because I feel just like AF is coming. I have read on here though that if you are pregnant you can still feel like AF is on her way. I did not know that, being new at this! Let us know if you test!

OK. DEEP breath.

It's the same thing as yesterday-

a very faint line. I think for

some reason this time around I'm

just having low hormone levels.

Actually, it's happened once before.

This is my fourth time TTC, 3 didn't

make it, I lost 2 babies this year so

far. It's a nightmare.

Yesterday I had to remove the cover to

actually see the line, but today I didn't

have to. Yesterday, my husband couldn't

see it, today he says he does. I don't

know what to think. I'm afraid to get

too happy because of the bad streak of

luck I seem to be on. I've had breast

pain and swelling for almost 2 weeks now

and I just feel very pregnant.

I am very new at this, but have been told that sometimes when you are pregnant you can get just a faint line that gets darker each time you test.

I was due on the 5th also, and O'd on the 22nd (or so the calendar said). I didn't BD on that day, but did on the 24th. I am now officially late, and might test tomorrow. I am NEVER late. Good luck to YOU!!!!!

My af should be due on 9/4 and took a HPT in the afternoon but not really sure if there was a line for it was very, very light. I'm taking another test tomorrow, this time in the morning. I'm hoping and praying hard that this will be it. That would be a testimony for my dh has been asking his co-choir members to pray for me.

Good luck to all of us. God bless...
