I am so nervous... my husband and I decided that while he was on winter exodus from his military service we were actually going to try (up until now we've just kind of said if it happens it does and if not oh well)... i took prenatal vitamins for the zinc to boost fertility (per my obgyn) and i actually tested for ovulation and everything... i have been pregnant once before and miscarried.... but last time i had every symptom in the book (sans morning sickness) and just didn't think about it because pregnancy was the furthest thing from my mind...
this time i have been having similar symptoms, including having 2 emotional breakdowns at work (i never cry and never ever in front of people) i've been urinating a decent amount, and my sleep schedule has been messed up....all of these things happen last time
on top of all this, all my co-workers, who did not know that i was trying, have been telling me for weeks that i'm pregnant... or asking me if i'm feeling okay... and when i say yes they just give me this look... according to them, my cheeks have been constantly flushed and i always look tired/worn out....
today is the day i am due to start and so far nothing so here's hoping... everyone has had me so excited that i've already taken 2 home tests with 2 negative results but i'm sure its too early... now i'm just hoping that i don't start my monthly and i'm nervous about it and just needed to vent a little... any encouragement or thoughts would be appreciated....

Hi there... well, sounds like those could all be pg symptoms to me. I would maybe wait a day or 2 and retest. If AF still hasn't showed up and you're still getting negatives, then you should as your doctor to do a blood test. They're relatively easy to do, and you can usually ge the results back the next day. The blood tests are a lot more sensitive than the urine tests.


Good luck! I hope you get your BFP soon... please keep us updated!! :)

thanks... i'm still waiting... you know how you feel when you are about to start your period? that's what i feel like right now... but hopefully it's just me freaking out and imagining things... anyways... i'm new here, so this is going to be a stupid question but what do these abbreviations mean, like some of them i get but others like AF and BFP i don't understand... thanks

Hi..sorry, sometimes I forget that there are newbies here that aren't familiar with all the lingo. So, first... welcome to the board!! And here's some of the basic abbreviations:


AF - Aunt Flo (your period)


BFP/BFN - Big Fat Positive/Negative (as in a pregnancy test)


TTC/A - Trying To Conceive/Avoid


HPT - Home Pregnancy Test


CD - Cycle Day (what day your on in your cycle)


DPO - Days Past Ovulation


O - Ovulation


KWIM - Know What I Mean


IMHO - In My Honest Opinion


HTH - Hope That Helps


DS/DD/DH/DC - Dear Son/Daughter/Husband/Children


Um, I think those are alot of the more common ones....HTH! ;)
