my hubby and i had sex on on the 20th, and i think i was ovulating??? (i had a lot of discharge, and it was clear/white) i am kinda excited, even though we were technically not trying.. just having a fun night.

i have had a few symptoms- really hungry, yet a little nausous, on and off crampy, REALLY tired, moody.... but i'm wondering if maybe it's in my head???? i told my husband today that maybe i could be pregnant.... and he was really excited!!!!

i wanna go and buy a test to take tonight, but is it too early?? i don't remember when my last period was, but considering i was ovulating on the 19-21st i guess my next one is due April 3rd-ish?

please help... i'm excited... and confused! :)

Hello,


The best time to test is the day your period is suppose to show using first morning urine.


Good Luck!

Hi there. I think you and I are on the same page with the symptoms and stuff. I will tell you this I did do a test this morning and it was negative. But here is the problem..my period isn't due until Friday and I didn't use first morning urine as I am up 2-3 times a night peeing! So I am sure that if I wait until I hopefull miss my period it may be a more accurate result. I bought one of those tests that says you can do it up to 4 days before your period. My girlfriend warned me not ot do it as she said it all depends on when you conceived etc... So now I am no further ahead than I was this morning except I was disappointed in the neg result even though I knew it would likely come out that way. I am going to save the second test for the day after my period was due if it doesn't come. I know exactly how you feel!
Hang in there!

I decided to go out today after work and buy a few tests. I've been reading that you can get them at the dollar store for real cheap, and they still work. I was amaised to find them for $1 for regular and $4 for early tests. I took a regular one today for the heck of it, and it was negative.

Today I feel like I'm having more symptoms, but maybe it's all in my head?? I had a "metal" taste in my mouth this morning, and I've been really thirsty. I also have had a little cramping.

I think my period is due Friday or Saturday, but I'm not sure. I hate waiting!!!

I found out a great website on this board- www.twoweekwait.com It's really awesome. You should check it out!

Good Luck!
