Something is going on!!!

Ok...trying the same post under a different title:

Here is the situation:

8/6 - 8/10 = AF *It was a little late not overly heavy or anything

8/14 = AF like cramping *this has been happening daily (on day 13 now) with lower back aches, nothing extremely painful. Did have one day 8/22 with a nice little sharp pain in my abdomen for like a second and then hasn't happened again.

8/17 = spotting * just red blood mixed with clear cm on the tp

8/18 = spotting *more like lightly tinted on the tp

8/24 = breasts begin to get sore *seems early for AF bb tenderness

lately now I am feeling kind of stretching? on eiather side like in the area of my diaphram. I had a week of upset tummy then I would eat breakfast and it was even a little more upset, and I wasn't hungry at all. This week my hunger is back and not really and upset tummy. I have had headaches a bit. I have been tested for a UTI and a kidney infection and I have tested neg. on a reg. HPT and an early response test. However I am not due to start until at least 9-2. also had my back adjusted. Been peeing a lot, and am pretty thirsty.

This is a total long shot because my DH had a vasectomy but at the end of July he decided he would reverse it so we could have a baby. What are the odds? If it isn't this then what is it?

Also, someone I work with just came up to me and said "have things changed for you?" and I said "no, what do you mean?" and then he said "I think you are pregnant"

So...I am hanging on to a lot os signs, and my body is saying something. Just not sure what. Do you guys have any thoughts?

hopeful : )

I'm not sure what to tell you other than the dreaded "just wait and see". When is AF scheduled to arrive? If your LMP was 8/6, I'm assuming not for another week or so. I'm currently 4 days late and waiting, not so patiently, for either AF to arrive or a BFP. I've been testing negative all week. I really hope what you are experiencing is pg symptoms, but seeing how your dh has had a vac, do you think that maybe you're just taking more notice of your body now that you've discussed possibly having another child? I know when we decided to ttc #2 I started to notice every little tickle or twinge. Even waiting now I think to myself am I really feeling this or just really wanting to.

Try not to stress. I know that's easier said than done, but wait for AF. If she doesn't arrive, take a test. If she still doesn't arrive, test again. I wish I had better news, but we all, unfortunately, have to go through the waiting game. Some longer than others.

Good luck to you. If not this month, in the future.

Who knows. I am overly aware of my body. I actually thought that now that we had decided to reverse the vasectomy that I would be less aware because we didn't "need a miracle" to get pregnant. This would be the first month that I have been less driven to the pregnancy thing. Hell I thought I had kidney stones/kidney infection/or UTI and went to the Dr. to get that checked out. Even went on anti-biotics too. Then with to my OBGYN (who is a naturopath) and had my first intro meeting (luckily I have my annual tomorrow, and she even adjusted my back for me. I thought that was the problem too.

I typically take symptoms like boobs "looking" different and even upset tummy as symptoms that my mind can really effect so I have littl weight in them. Spotting, back ache, and daily AF like cramps just aren't things that I can control and things that I would like to know the cause of, because if it isn't pregnancy then it is kinda scary.

Only time will tell.

thanks

Well, consider yourself lucky, you get to find out sooner than me! :) I'm not sure what's wrong with myself. I got off the pill 6 months ago, my last AF started 7/20, she never came this month so I thought I might be pg since we were timing and trying so hard. I took 4 urine test in 5 days, all negetive. Still, she never came, so went to have a blood test at the GYN clinic, also came back negetive. She said I may not be ovulating which means I can't get pregnant. I also learned you can have a period for all your life and never HAVE ovulated. So, now I sit and wait to se if my AF comes this month, next month, or ever again. I'm only 22! I also have to get a fertility monitor to gauge for 3 months to see if I ovulate int he next 3 months and how often, if I do. Hope all this will encourage you a bit! :)Some people like me are a little worse off. lol Good Luck thugh! - jenniferhobbs_@hotmail.com

Jennifer, keep your spirits up. I know it's hard finding out that information, but I've had a lot of friends in your situation and they are either pregnant now or are already mommy's. So much can be done now to find out if you are ovulating and if you're not, steps can be taken. I've had two friends that weren't ovulating, got treatment for it, and were pregnant within 6 months. One in particular tried for 2 years before seeking medical treatment. Once she got it, she was pregnant within 3 months. She's due in November. So, think positive. Plus, you're so young honey, time is really on your side.

I know it's hard, but think of it this way at least you know something, some women just keep trying and trying and never know there could be a problem.

Good luck to you.

Sounds like you could be pregnant or be having PMS! That's what sucks about finding out so early, you don't know which it is. I am currently 6 weeks, and I didn't get a postive result until my period was 11 days late (turns out I ovulated late anyhow). I started having cramps, breast tenderness, slight heartburn, and frequent urination. These things started like immediately after my supposed conception date! But like I said I didn't get a postive result for awhile. I'm sorry that you have to wait, I know the wait is agonizing! Also, spotting (the implantation bleeding) is quite common in early pregnancy as well, so that may or may not be a sign. Good luck with the waiting, and don't stress out too much!

Oh, another thing...I was REALLY hot all the time! My temp went up a degree and a half than normal, and has stuck that way. I guess that is another sign of pregnancy!

thanks. I feel like I am just filling up inside. By lower back pain is migrating to my sides and it feels like that side ache you get from breathing too hard and on both sides equally. Still little twinges of AF cramps and am peeing a lot. Also noticed that I don't seem to have any kind of discharge at all. Is that good or bad?

I just want to lay in a hot tub and relax. My back feels like I have been shoveling dirt all weekend. Anyway, I have the annual tomorrow and maybe she can help me get some ideas here. Very mysterious. I would say that I feel "uncomfortable" and not really in pain. However the sleep is solid! When I sleep it is hard and mostly through the night. Dreams are crazy vivid too. I will just resign myself to the waiting game. I am so hopefull that this is it but I also know that we will have our chance later too.

thanks for your help.
