Another question.........

I've heard that veins on your chest can be a symptom of PG, but what about a lot of veins on your lower abdomen? Last night I noticed tonnes of veins on my lower abdomen, and a few stretch marks :( the stretch marks were mostly near my pelvic bones, to the sides though. What do you think, I am grasping at air again?

I'm not sure about that one. How many dpo are you? Are you far enough along to test? I guess I would call your doctor and just ask them. They can tell you if it's a possibility, and also if they want you to come in. Sorry I can't be of more help! Aubrey;)

suzie,

I have also suspected that I am pregnant and ONLY due to some weird symptoms....noticing blue veins down the sides of my stomach, one of them. I have also noticed blue veins on my breasts, now I KNOW that they were not always there..cuz one of them goes right through my areola!!

BUT....I keep getting negative HPT!!

any news on you?

Really? I don't know if I am PG, I don't know if I even Oed this cycle. But I am on CD50, I haven't had a cycle this long yet. I keep getting BFN's too!! Well, I have taken two tests so far. The last one was on Sunday afternoon. I think I want to take another one, but I hate being disappointed!! Also, the other weird thing is that I keep having slight spotting......once just after AF, CD35, and CD42, and yesterday and today. I keep thinking it is AF, but nope. Also I had had lots of CM this cycle, I don't remember that from last cycle(since i've been charting) I've attached my chart if you want to take a look.........

I think I remember your post from a week or two ago asking if you O'd. I forget, were you on the Pill? If so, it can cause a lot of problems once you go off of them. It took me a year before my cycles balanced out and I started O'ing. If you haven't yet, I would seriously consider scheduling an appointment with your OB/GYN. Depending on how long you've been off the pill, they may not want to do anything yet, but at least they'll have a heads up that you're having issues. They might consider giving you meds like Clomid to force ovulation. The good thing is that you're charting...they'll probably need to see your charts to verify that you aren't O'ing. In the meantime, it's hard to say if your symptoms are from your body adjusting or if it could be a pregnancy. It doesn't look like you O'd based on your temps, but who knows...maybe you just don't have enough progesterone in your system to raise your temps. Keep us posted! Aubrey;)

Thanks Aubrey,

That was me......I remember you helped me then too. I am totally obsessing lately. Thank you for your input!! I was on BCP's for 3 1/2 years, went off in March. My cycles haven't been this long yet though. I really have to stay away from the internet!!! I have said it b4, I am never going on BCP again!!

But anyways, thanks for the help........

I think I told you this before, but I was on for 3.5 years, too, and although my 1st cycle was normal length, my next was a little longer, and the 3rd one was 91 days....don't wait as long as I did to see your doctor! They may be able to speed up the process! Good luck to you! Aubrey;)
