Symptoms?

Alright, so I think I'm late, not sure because of irregular periods. I have been feeling tired and nauseus but HPT's were negative yesterday and this morning. I know I need o wait a few more days and test again. My question is: I've noticed people mention CM. Is this a symptom prior to periods as well as a symptom of pregnancy? It seems that a lot of pg symptoms are the same as about to start period symptoms. I'm like many of you...the suspense is killing me. I've been having discharge today, should have started today...I think. DH and I "did it" almost everyday last month. I've done no charting, etc. because I don't want to become obsessed, although now I am obsessed with finding out if I am or not. My BB's were super sore this morning but not really now. Any other symptoms I should look for? And with the darkiening of the nipples, is it the whole nipple or just the pointy part? Sorry to be so graphic. Thanks for any replies.

Sorry, I can't offer you much advise either...I'm waiting for another week before I can test. It's so hard to not "try" to test this early, but I know that's a waste of money.

My AF came four days early this month, so I'm not sure when I'd Ov. On top of that I've had a UTI, which causes some of the same symptoms.

Just wanted to wish you luck, and I know the frustration you're going through. You could go the dr. and ask for a blood test?

My experience with my first child was that my nipples started getting large before any darkening. I found most symptoms didn't start until week 6 (or 4 weeks after ovulation), ie, nausea, fatigue, etc. In fact, I started having cramps around the time I should have had my period and figured I wasn't pregnant so I started taking advil (yikes!). After a week late I tested positive. Hang in there! I'm hoping for child #2, but have a while before I can test. Every little thing makes me think I might be, and I'm so preoccupied and can't concentrate. Ahhh!

I know how frustrating it is when were ttc. My first pregnancy was so easy I never thought it could be this hard to get pregnant. Well let me tell u my symptoms with my first pregrancy were light cramps and sore bbs. I kept on saying " today I am going to get my period cuz i have cramps" i said that everey day for 2 months till i got a pregnancy test. my breasts got HUGE along with my areolas and they were really dark ( the areolas and nipples. I didn't get morning sickness till a little later. I wish you good luck.
