Hello, My last period was July 11, 2006. My husband and I had sex on the 24, which was my most fertile day, and the 25, which is when i was ovulating. My next expected period is August 8th. I am not late yet, but have been "feeling pregnant". I have had slight nausea no vomiting the last week. So much that i have only been able to each chicken soup and crackers. I can drink ginger ale to help a bit. i basicaly feel car sick most of the day. My sense of smell has increased dramatically so much that i feel nauseated when i smell grilled burgered, mustard, smoke, salami, my herbal supplements, which i had to bag and put in the closet the smell was so strong. i have had a ravenous smell toward fresh strawberries..so much that i ate the whole carton, and they were delicious! My sense of smell had definately increased. I have had an increase in saliva so much i am constantly swallowing, and gagging. Especially when i smell something gross. I have also just the past few days, (I am ten days past ovulation) i have had slight cramping and back aches. I was up last night thinking what is going on? My husband has pointed out that i am also dramatically moody. So much so that he was worried! My breast just yesterday became sensitive, and started to tingle. My nipples are slightly erect and raised and red. I have taken a pregnancy test and it came out negative. I am wondering if this is all i my head. Do i have a reason to think i am pregnant? We would be so happy...i just don't want to get my hopes up. Thanks for any input! It is greatly appreciated!
Best wishes,

Alexis

Wow... Crazy! LOL...I can't sleep right now because i am having some slight abdominal pressure, and cramping really down low and deep. I had it last night too, and i thought well maybe it was gas, but i had that too! Laughing...Tonight i am thinking No-it's too low and when i relax my stomach and my muscles it feels a little better. There is something else going on down there! LOL...
I figured sunday was when i would try again. I have taken at least four tests in the last week-curious and all! I was going to wait until Sunday, but who knows if i will be able to. My husband said to wait until sunday because the tests are pricey so...he thinks i am wasting money! Oh he is the practical one! I just want to KNOW ALREADY!!! If am not pregnant i will feel like i am one stop from the looney bin! i won't know until i am late...or i get a positive test..or my period comes! Good luck to you! Let me know if you take a test on Sunday...I will let you know if i find anything else out!

Best wishes

Well i took another test just a little while ago and BFN!!!! Ugh... I am hoping the two other tests i have purchases one of them will be the lucky one!!! Laughing.... anyway my husband suprised me today. We went to the mall and were strolling around, and when we came across a baby store or childrens clothing store he wanted to go in. Laughing...he said he wanted to price strollers and clothing for kids. He was so cute browsing around the stores with a look of pure curiosity and chatting with other dads to be....aww....

I overheard him also on the phone with some friends of ours implying when we come to visit for christmas i should be carrying and extra person....Something tells me he is pretty sure that i am pregnant too! Maybe i am not crazy after all!

Thanks to whomever is reading and nodding your head and agreeing....Any comments or input is absolutely welcome! Baby dust to all those who so desire a baby!

Best wishes,

Alexis

So, I tested this morning and got a bfn. BUT!!! And that is a big BUT! I got a different test this afternoon and took it. Thinking it was negative, I left the room and came back later to find and EXTREMELY faint second line. So, its one of 2 things. It could be an evap line (I don't think it is, I think I've had that before). OR... you know what.


I'm going to test tomorrow and see what happens.


For now, I am officially FREAKING OUT!

Hello ladies! I am on that same schedule too. LMP 7/12 due again on 7/9. I've had the sore, tingly boobs and some cramping. Just since yesterday though I've had some boughts of nausea. My dh and I went to the mall today and he wanted to stop and look at the Chocolate Factory and I LOVE chocolate. But today just looking at it and smelling it made me nearly puke! Feeling very bloated too. I've tested with $tree tests and all are bfn so far. I'm not giving up yet. I'll keep testing in the mornings with fmu until I get a bfp or af... and my body, heart and mind all say bfp. Hopefully these are not all imagined, that would really suck!

Good luck ladies!!!

BTW, Alexis.. I love your name, it's also my dd name!

ETA: I've been getting very emotional. I mean tearing up ANY time I see somebody on TV cry and practically bawling when my dd started crying today because she didn't want her ears pierced. (we didn't get them done in the end).

Well i hope it is a BFP for you!!!! Congrats! What was the second test you did? I took another this morning when i first woke up, and again...BFN!!! Today i had severe nausea, but i also think that the enchiladas i made were probably not the best thing to eat right now. I am soooo bloated...and it puts strain on my back and hips when i try to hold it in...and when i let my tummy out...i have a slight bulge....I probably look pregnant...but so far i am not. I was reading in my "What to Expect When Expecting", book
that bloating is also present very early in pregnancy. So far i have the following symptoms and I am 12 days past ovulation.

1. boughts of nausea, worse in the afternoon
2. abdominal cramps, which are more on the right side. They are slight, and nagging.
3. Severe bloating-ugh...feel like a small blimp..Laughing...Its in my tummy area.
4. Gas very severe. Probably the spicy food, and from the bloating also.
5. tender, and tingly breasts..not all the time...But enough to notice.
6. Increase of smell
7. Some slight food adversions...
8. Back aches..slight and nagging also. Not bad enough to take tylenol.
9. Increase in salavation...
10. Oh..and a slight metal taste..thought it was just the few times, but i don't think it's in my head. LOL...

I feel that i am pregnant..i have been pregnant before..but it was a several years ago...and my boyfriend at the time convinced me to have the pregnancy terminated. Looking back i made the right decision, however i am ready and have a loving and supportive husband who loves me. Anyway my point is i was trying to remember some of my symptoms...and frankly i was pretty into partying back then and don't remember a whole lot..LOL...Those symptoms weren't on my list of things to look out for...
i hope that now I can have the chance to become a nurturing, supportive, kind, and affectionate mother.

Baby dust!!! I hope when you retest you get a BFP!!!

Hi Ashley,

I just wanted to let you know that I tested this afternoon on a whim, and i got a light blue line!!! Not dark, but it's there!!! My husband said...yep i can see it too! So i am not crazY!!!!!! YEAH!!!! Oh..i saw that another woman used first response and kept coming back with BFN's so..she decided to try the target off brand that is equivalent to the first response eary result test, and she got a positive. So i went to target and WHALA!!!! Positive. I am going to try again in the morning(i bought two tests-tee hee!!) So..maybe try the target brand?

So...I am pregnant!!!! i am so happy! My husband is still in shock, but he's happy. He's already asking me where we should put the bassenet in our room. Aww....He's still in shock, which i can't blame him. I keep saying i am going to be a mommy!!! OMG!!!!

Laughing...oh...i am nauseated...let me know what happens with you!!!

BABY DUST!!!
