Hey I was just wondering how you're doing and how things are going with you. Not many more days before we can both test. Are you excited? The waiting is so hard.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi xzanquionett, I was just reading your post and answers from other people WOW, I understand what you mean you don't want a medical book answer you just want to know how other woman feel and if they them self have gone through it and what they did! I am feeling o.k today bad cramps but higher up than pms cramps a little tired my sleeping pattern is all messed up for the last 2 weeks the earliest I have gone to bed was 3am latest 8:30am after my son goes to school sleep untill 11:30 when he gets home. I don't know if I should test with the early hpt or just wait and see if my af shows her ugly face?????

I have slept more in the past few days than I normally would in 2 months. I have terrible insomnia but suddenly if I don't get at least 8 hours I can't move. My mood swings are kinda bad today. Other than that, all the other signs still apply. My breasts are getting pretty sore but that's one of my pms symptoms also.

I think as far as testing, I will get a 2 pack and test Friday or Saturday and then again Monday when I should be getting my period. I feel a little bad now thought because I'm getting my hopes up the more I read about other women. I didn't want to get my hopes up and then be so disappointed but it would be wonderful to have a baby. Then again the timing right now may not be the best. I am just trying to keep my head grounded. What day are you planning to test if you don't wait to see if you're late?

I gave in...now I have my hopes up. I am not having normal pms symptoms at all so I know something weird is up. Gross, I know, but my discharge is slightly heavier and is white and my breasts, especially the left one, has been killing me! I'm not used to sleep so much either. I was about to go to bed a couple hours ago but decided to make myself stay up. 12am and I was ready for bed...usually I am up until 4am and sleeping until 9am-1pm! I have also given in and I'm going with an early hpt. I am going to test Friday since my next period is due the 17th. I posted for a test buddy but I could always use more than one :-P Care to test along with me? I'm going to do it early in the morning before I head to work. I will probably go ahead with a 2-pack so I can test again Monday. Also, if you want, my email address is puppydog_8_16@msn.com in case you ever want to email me. Only a couple more days!

I'm glad your little one is feeling better. I can imagine how miserable he must have been feeling. You're cramping? That's no good. Maybe it's just...growing pains inside. I'm going to go tomorrow and buy a 2-pack of early pregnancy tests for Friday morning. Well that's technically today since it's 1:12am. I've gotten excited. I already know what I'm getting for Christmas from my boyfriend so this is like another gift for me. I'm not going to say I'm hoping I am pregnant, I am just hoping that I get the result that is best for me at this time. I'm also full of it and still trying to convince myself not to be excited that I might be expecting LOL. It's just so hard not to be excited. I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us! We need some answers soon!!

I hope you get the answer you want on friday make sure you keep me posted I bought the first response test today it says you can test up to four days before your af is do and it came with three for the price of two it was like $14.95 which is not that bad and it's supposed to be a accurate test I would suggest going with that one I don't know if I like the digital clear blue easy but I guess what ever floats your boat :)

I'm getting a test called Accu-Clear. It's an early test that has a 20hcg sensitivity. I can get 2 for like $7.49 or something. I don't want to spend a lot on something that can turn out to give me bad news...

Maybe it's all in my head (who knows...I'm crazy enough) last night made 10dpo according to textbook ovulation. Since I went on BC my cycles have been extremely regular...always 28 days. Before they were usually 28, give or take a few days. Last night I thought af was coming but it was pink, so I figured it was just going to start really light. Today there is no sign it ever happened. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like implantation bleeding...? Would that happen 10dpo? Also I've been getting some cramps, a little more severe than the dull one that was easing off, but it was always on one side and I would press into it and realize it was just an air bubble that would...escape...when I pressed. Maybe it IS all in my head...

"2. Slight spotting or cramping: If you are pregnant, light pink spotting can occur at the time of implantation -- when the embryo attaches to the lining of the uterus. This happens around eight to ten days following ovulation, a bit earlier than your menstrual period is due."

Oh man...

I ended up getting the 1st response like I said in the other message...the tests I was going to get said early but weren't really. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight thinking about this. That spotting last night was almost like icing on the cake. There has been no bleeding between periods this month from my pills so there's no other reason I would have been spotting so little. I can't wait!

Good luck to you!!
