Save Me from silly testing: need advice

My husband will freak if I take another test, but here's my story.

I've been trying for a few months now, but not really hard core until last month. I had my period last week and it seemed "normal" with clotting and everything, bright red blood, etc, and it ended yesterday. But since Saturday I've been feeling continually more tired, nauseous on and off, and today I started feeling hungry a lot. My nipples are normally inverted but they've really perked up over the past few weeks (Sorry if that's tmi). Plus, I got a migrane today for no aparaent reason. I've been taking my BBT this month, and it's low, so there's no way I can be pregnant...can I? When people say they have periods when pregnant, is that just light spotting. Clotting must mean it's a real period, right?

I would guess that since you had everything normal...clot and all, that your probably not pregnant. But who knows...LOL I would try not to stress out over it and wait and see how all goes this month.

You're right. Thanks. (And even though he doesn't know it my husband thanks you too.) That's just the reassurance I needed.

I am going to take my temp right now! I am usually under 98.6 - I wish I had a base number. I lost a baby in March and have been trying ever since. Each month is harder and harder. But my baby would have been due on October 21st and it's all I think about. I would love to be pg right now but I have to wait a few more days to test.

Thanks,

Karen

I spotted & cramped w/ DD and never suspected I was PG because of that.... I cramped for 2 months straight (not kidding) & since I had a light AF (twice), I thought I was having serious gyno problems then other symptoms hit like extreme fatigue & BB swollen & changing that I decided to test & it was +... I was about 8 wks at that point, so everyone is different! I mc in Feb. (my 2nd pg) & my symptoms that time were none but it was a early mc, I would have been due next week....now Im wondering again because AF is a no show but I dont have the typical PG symptoms like w/ my 1st, just some heart burn, mild cramping (last week) & my back broke out so this ttc stuff is wearing my emotions out!LOL Hope it all goes well for you!
