Hey how is everybody today? Let's have some updates!!!

I'm a full week late today, which is my biggest indicator. I also have the sore and swollen breasts, which have been sore for about 5-6 days now. I was experiencing weird cramps, like a couple fingers running down my lower abdomen, but I'm not having any of that today. I'm also having sleeping problems. I'll get so tired and have to take a nap in the middle of the day, go to bed early at night, but wake up every 2-3 hours. I've also had to get up to the bathroom once or twice in the night which isn't normal for me, I always sleep soundly until the alarm goes off in the morning.

I have an appt with my OB GYN on friday, which will be CD 38 and 10 days late. I'm going to ask for a blood test since all the HPTs have come up BFN!!!! grr how frustrating!

How's everyone else's cycle going???

Hey, Jen_1121:

Basically, my update looks like yours, only I'm only 3 days late. I read your thoughts about needing to nap, getting up several times per night. For me, I was getting sooooo hot during the night. With the cold Northern nights and our thermostat set at 58 degrees, I shouldn't have been sweating. That was about 7-10 days ago. It lasted maybe 5 days. Now I seem to have adjusted. During that time, I also started peeing a lot more (my husband normally calls me the "iron bladder"), and had nausea at about 6 p.m. every night. That was about 10 dpo, based on my cervical mucus. Now, my labs are all coming back neg. I'm thinking I may have miscarried or had a chemical pregnancy.

To be honest, I'm saddened, but I'm more saddened that I just had to tell my mom that she probably wouldn't be getting grandbaby #2. I feel blessed to have my son; I guess we'll try again next month. Either way, my new docs will be able to sonogram and pelvic exam tomorrow to shed some light on my confusion.

Best wishes, jen_1121. Is this your first? Your profile was blank. How long have you been trying?
