I need help! I believe I conceived on 9/29, my period isn't due until 10/15 but I'm already feeling signs. THis would be my 3rd pregnancy. I have pretty heavy cramping, bachache, my breasts seemed like they grew overnight, I'm dizzy and so hungry. I'm noticing signs I don't tihnk I've noticed before with my previous three. I took test yesterday and this morning, both negative but I was told to wait until the week of my period for a true results. Should I be patient or get a blood test? Thanks!

renee,

i too believe that i ovulated on either the 27th or the 29th making me either 7 or 9 dpo. just my opinion but i think that 7 dpo might be too early to tell. even though your egg might have implanted it might not have secreted enough hormones for the test to detect it. so don't lose hope you could still be pg. i would probably hold off for another week and then test, or if you are really anxious then get the blood test. whatever you decide to do keep us updated. keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.

Hi,

I think I conceived also on the 29th of Sept. I feel period symptoms right now. Breast tenderness, lower backache, and lower pelvic pain. I start to think it is wishful thinking. With my last pregnancy I tested before my period was due and got negative results. It wasn't until about a day after it was due that is showed positive. Anyone else out there besides us feel these symptoms so soon? Let me know what's happening with you. Sandy

I feel the exact same way. I have two boys 4 and almost 2 and tried for a girl

on 9/25 which was day 10 since LMP. I went to Walmart tonight and bought those 4 day

early pt. It was neg. I feel like I am making the symptoms of cramping, tired,

hungry, breast sensation up in my mind. I don't know when to test again. Let me know what happens with you.

I say don't rush out to get a bloodtest because even those at early dates won't necessarily give you the proper results. I wasn't supposed to test until 18dpo but I went ahead and tested anyways at 16dpo and got my BFP, however if I'd of tested anywhere between 7-14dpo I am pretty sure I wouldn't of gotten the BFP. I say wait, if you are pregnant you are still going to be pregnant by the time you either test again or finally get in to get your bloodwork done and for them to call you with the results.

With my first baby I tested at 11dpo, 3 days before AF was due and it still came back neg however when I tested the day after my AF was due it came back pos. If I were you I would wait until the day your AF is due or after that as you have a better chance of picking up any HCG that may be in your urine. Larger amounts have a faster response.

Good luck

I think I tested too early too. I ovulated on 9/28 and was with DH the day before so I think we had the timing right. After O everything was pretty normal then on 6 dpo I started getting very mild abdominal achiness and feeling kinda tired over the next few days. Today 10 dpo I tested and it was negative, but I believe it was too early. For the past couple days I have had increased cm, creamy almost like just before ovulation and I know that is a very early sign as well as the cramping and being tired. I dont have any other symptoms so far and AF should start in a couple days and I dont have any of the typical signs I usually have that Im about to start other than the cramping so it could be its still trying to start or that I may have conceived. We are keeping our fingers crossed and trying to wait and see. I usually have breast tenderness a few days before I start and I have 3 days to go and nothing yet, so maybe??!! Anyone else have anything like this?? Good luck and Baby Dust to All!!

Hi ladies! Isn't it so hard to wait?? I too believe I may have concieved on Sept 26 or 27 4 days later I had a pinkish discharge that turned brown and went away; ever since I have felt kind of sick; really crampy and very veiny breasts and a bit light headed. yesterday and today I have had some spotting I guess pinkish then reddish and then it's just gone... then a few hours later more pink...It's very confusing and I have NO IDEA when to test... I tested on Tuesday morning and got a neg. didn't know if it was too early. I don't know if I can stand the waiting... Glad to hear more in my situation (I'm not alone) I'll be thinking of you all!
