I've got a bit of a confusing situation. My husband and I went off the pill about a month ago, and I got my regular period. That was on Sep 10. I was expecting my period to show up on Oct 8, as I have always had a cycle like clockwork. We were a little careless, as my doctor said that it's unlikely to get pregnant in the first month off of the pill.
I took a pg test, and it was negetive, however, after reading some of the symptoms of pregnant, I have only a few. I don't have breat tenderness, but I do have a bit of nausea, and I am so warm all the time, and in the past few weeks, I have felt like sleeping for about a week. I am also feeling like I am going to get my period, you know that "wet" feeling you get when your period comes, and I have had a bit of cramping. I am going to the doctor next week, and hopefully I'll get some answers. My husband and I want to have children, however, we weren't planning on this soon. We wanted to be off of the pill for atleast a year before starting. (I guess if I am pregnant, that's what we get for being careless...lol) We will however be ecstatic if we are, but okay if we're not.
Did any other women experience little or no symptoms when they were pregnant?

Well I hope that you are pregnant - do you have any other children? I hope that I am going to be able to handle these two with only 12 months apart!!!
Let us know what happens.
Good luck,
Kat
Thanks for responding to my inquiry. It is nice to have feedback from other women, who like yourself, are experiencing things that are so different to them.
I had a dream the other night that I took the pregnancy test and it was positive. Since I had bought two the other day, I woke up in the morning, and took another test, and it was negative, however AF still hasn't shown up. I still have that feeling that I she is going to show up.
My husband and I are planning a trip next June, for our 2nd Anniversary, so being pregnant at this point isn't what we want. We don't have any children right now, but we know that we want children. We plan to "make" a baby on our trip next year. We know that having children changes your life, and it won't be as easy to have a trip next year that will be "relaxing", so we are kind of hoping that we're not.
My husband asked me, "would you be sad if you weren't?" I said "no". He then said, "would you be upset or guilty for not wanting to be pg?" I said, "yes". So it's a no win situation I guess. He also said, "If you are, will you feel guilty if it ruins our trip?". Well, I am sure that you know the answer to that one, of course I will! However, he said that we are going to deal with whatever the results are, and at this point there is no real reason to "panic" or get upset, because we don't know for sure. I just occasionally have these symptoms, or thoughts that maybe I am pg. Does that normally mean that you are? Or does it just mean that my "clock" is ticking...lol.
i hope my little story helps!
