I am a very "fertile myrtle". Both of my children were conceived within a week of hubby and I deciding to start trying. I want one more he says no. Well, you know men! In the heat of the moment we didn't use a condom (I was being a good wife and trying to "destress" him before a marathon! hahaha) Anyway, I can't tell anything and I'm going crazy. I know I can go back as far as the 26th of September with absolute clarity but then it gets crazy. I know the weekends I wasn't having my period but I truly can't remember. I am feeling extremely menstrual right now and every time I go potty (can you tell I have toddlers!) I expect it to be starting. I've had bad cramps for two or three days now and fully expect it to start. I've had two but just don't remember these details. I'm going crazy. I guess I'd just like to know if anyone else is in my shoes. I look at it like this, if my period ended the 26th then it would have started about the 20th. If that was the first day of my last cycle then I would guess that my period should be starting by Sunday. Ugghhh. So much waiting. My kids are 4 and 20 months. I think my hubby would pass out!! Thanks for listening.

I think your DH may pass out too...LOL I guess if I were you, if you don't get your period by Monday I would test and see what you get. I understand the forgetting the dates, I usually know by the week when I should get mine, but also Mine are 30-32 days, so I start around the same time every month. Makes it easier. Its sounds like a possiblity that you could be, but only time will let you know for sure. I just got a positive last night, and I have 3 girls already....so hopefully this will be a boy, it better be LOL Good Luck to you, and hopefully you get what ever answer you want....you made it clear DH will die over a positive but what about you? :)

I would be happy as could be. I want three but if I had "planned" it I would have tried this time next year. That way my oldest would be starting kindergarten and my son would be in preschool in the mornings. That would give me a little sanity. Oh well. It would all work out. Good luck with getting a boy. It's amazing how different you feel about a little boy from having little girls. Obviously, the love is the same but there's just this extra tenderness or something like that for me. He is a mama's boy through and through. As long as he grows out of that by the time he's 12 we'll be alright! LOl Thanks for the info!!

Candice,

I'm in the exact same boat as you. I have a 3 1/2 year old, a 20 month old and my DH and I "accidentally" BD'd about the time I ovulated. We didn't want another child but now I'm kind of liking the idea (I think he would die!!). I think the first day of my last period was about 9/15 but I can't know for sure because I didn't mark it down. The only way I remember the general time is because I remember that my mother-in-law was visiting. So I sit here waiting for AF to show. I took an HPT yesterday with FMU and it was negative. It may have been too early to tell for sure so I still have some hope.

Take Care,

Joanna

Joanna,

My sons birthday is 02/15 as well. We are similar!! This wait and see approach makes me crazy. I just want to know so I can think about something else again. Oh well. I'm making Wednesday my day that if nothing has started I'll call the doctor for a blood test. It would be so exciting...but extremely overwhelming!! My son is a pistol.
