I am 13 DPO.... SORE boobs and sensitive. Pink streaking in CM after BD on Sept. 20 and 22nd. Nothing more than that... Gums are super sensitive on and off. Did I have implantation bleeding those two days...Or did we rattle AF? I am due for her today but nothing.... BFN yesterday... when should I test again? I have one test left and I am dying to take it now. How long after imp. bleeding do HCG levels really get going?

Hi, I definitely think that it could have been implantation bleeding. Also I would wait a week before I test again. That should give you a pretty accurate result. I know it's hard to! good luck!

A week.... Holy cow. I guess what makes this so hard, is with my last two little ones, I had no idea that I was pregnant and never took a test until I was about 6 weeks along. I REALLY wasnt in tune with my fertility then! LOL

Thanks again..

Hi! Baby Dust to you. I know that it's really hard to wait and I've been trying to wait myself, I'm 10 DPO and I've got sensitive BBs and I got really nauseaus this morning with the smell of coffee. I'm also TTC #3, but I can't remember how I Felt with #1 & #2 or how long I waited to take a test. Now I'm just finding it really hard not to run to the store and try one. I must admit, I did cheat over the weekend, obviously BFN. Now I swore to myself that I'll wait atleast untill Sunday, that's when AF is due.

Tons of baby dust to you, Keep me posted

You sound like me, this is my 2end month ttc #3. Here is a little weirdness for ya.... did u know that you can take apart a pregnancy test and look for a line. No matter what we do the earge to test when we have to pee is unstoppable, I was actually concidering getting those stick that the dr office has so I would have many of them and I could test every time I pee'd. I know TMI, and quiet nerautic. LOL but I can laugh at my obssesivness!! I am not due to test till Oct 1st, already wait is driving me nuts, every twinge and pain I am think hmmmm, bb's started hurting yesterday and I got the worst sharp pain yesterday too, only for a sec though.... but every month I get pregnancy syptoms, people must think I am calling wolf every month lol. Also just an added thought... HPT make a fortune off us. :-)

LOL!!! You're right. I'm counting the days, and going nuts! I say If they can make the morning after pill, they should make a pregnancy test that you can use earlier than the First Response one. Like maybe a week after you ovulate. We have such a longer time to wait after (nine months), they should make the first one easy. AF for me is due the night between Saturday & Sunday. I'm trying to keep busy and not think about it, but something just always brings me back to the thought that maybe I am. My symptoms so far are sore BBs, you know the feeling that you're BBs are full of milk, a "let-down" I think it'S called, and yesterday had my first case of indegestion, and this morning I had a bit of nausea. If I'm not pregnant this month with these symptoms, I think I'm going to have to commit myself to an asylum for being a hypcondriac!! Good Luck to you and LOADS of Baby Dust. Please keep me posted...

Milla, you are the only other person that has described what I am feeling with the boobs.... that "let down" feeling. I have only felt that when I BF years ago. I just ate some pizza and now have indegestion. Still no AF and I checked my cervix and it is high and closed. I just wish I knew if that streaking after BD was a result of implantation or rattling the old hag. It seems to me when I put my feet on the ground, that I would have a BFP feeling all of these symptoms. I did take the last test I had (after about 4 cups of coffee--DUH!) and we all know the result. Now that I have no more left, I cant test. And if I buy another test from Rite Aid down the road they are going to think I am a freak.... Keep me posted ladies!

Thank God I'm not the only going crazy!!! Every month I'd look for any and all PG symptoms, take a few tests, only to get AF. It got so bad that I told my husband I didn't want another baby.

Then all of a sudden DH says "I want another one!" and I check the calendar and realize that I might be. So, for the last two weeks, once again I'm looking for any and all PG signs and praying AF doesn't show up on Thursday.

LMAO... finally!! I am not crazy!! You have to tell me where u got the sticks, I can't find them lol, after spending 40 a month on pg tests, I think I need them. I don't have the "let down" feeling, just the tingally (if that is how you spell it) annoying feeling in bb's, it's hard to tell with my bb's (TMI heading your way!!) I have dolly parton breasts (after the implantations) but mine are all natual, so now that everyone knows the size of my breats LOL..... The wait is going to kill me, see the thing is..... I have ALWAYS been 28 days to the nose, now last two months it was 26 days, sooooo I don't know when I o'd, or when AF is due, I am going with the 26 days cause it makes the wait sooner than later!! :-p

It sounds as if all of you have at least been pregnant once before. We're trying for our first, and I am starting to feel as if there's something wrong. So many of our friends got pg w/out even trying or in the first month of ttc. Every month I get the sore bbs, nausea and I just feel as if this could be it. Then AF arrives, and I cry. So much emotion is involved in all this. My AF's due on Friday, and I'm not letting myself near those pg tests. Last month and the month before I tried three different brands, all neg., of course. My DH and I are such over-achievers that it seems as if we've finally found something we can't succeed at, and it's killing us. Any advice from the girls out there about how to deal with the stress of it all month after month? How much longer should we try (bbd every other day) before I call the doctor? I'm almost 30, DH is 32. We've been trying since June. Any thing you all could offer would be a big help.
