Can you believe this!?

OK I'm 8DPO today. I've been a vegetarian for 8 years now. I could not control my craving for an Arby's roast beef sandwich. So what did I do? I got one and ate half of it! I cannot believe this!

My mom who was a trauma nurse for 13 years says I've got to being having severe pms or I'm pregnant. She said cravings can begin at anytime. Anyone know anything about early cravings? I am not protein deficient from my bloodwork results, nor am I iron deficient. I've been taking pre natals for 2 months as well.

Another thing:

Last night I found out the new Dune book came out last week. Dune books are my life's blood, I just love them. When I saw it was out I started crying. I was so happy. My DH woke up from the crying and basically laughed at me :D I'm never that over emotional.

Claire,

I don't know anything about cravings but I wanted to tell you that your DH is such a sweetie! Not many men would laugh at their SO after being awoken from a dead sleep. You are such a cutie.. I do hope you get your BFP this month but I also hope you continue to post here :)

Hello Kathy,

He's a pretty gentle guy, not very easily riled up. Our pastor whom we see for marital counseling (we never did get pre-marital so we're doing that now) says that my DH has the temperament of a Golden Retriever. It's so true! He says I'm the Lion.

Thank you, I really hope this is month too. If not DH says he's buying that 200.00 monitor so we get pg soon. I hope that you get your BFP soon as well. Even when I do get my BFP I'm going to hang around here. I'll just be mostly in the Grad section until we have that off shoot board for TTC grads. Now that will be so fun, we won't have to all split up and go to different boards!

Claire (I love the name Claire by the way), aren't those craving nuts? When I was pg with my son, I all of the sudden wanted everything sweet I could find and I'm not a sweet person - lol. I also craved bologna sandwiches with ketchup and crushed potato chips on top. I knew bologna was bad but heavens I wanted it like everyday. I never eat bologna. I can't wait to find out what I'll crave with the next.

Hey Susan,

Thanks, I actually picked the name Clairea about 5 years ago. My real name I keep private for a few reasons. 1 I had an internet stalker once and 2 I have a very unusual name (I actually created my real name and changed it at the age of 16).

I am SO hoping that my roast beef craving is a true pregnancy craving. My mom seems to think it very well may be. She says if it is a pg craving that I'm having a boy.

I am like you, I never eat sweets. I don't own sugar, I haven't had caffeine in over 6 years, I don't drink soda or juice or eat desserts. I like water, wine and salty foods. I cannot wait to drink wine again!

I'll know for sure if I begin craving sweets. Even as a child I had a candy drawer. My mom filled it will everything you could ever want as a child with a sweet tooth. My friends would gorge and I never ate a piece of it. I just never liked chocolate or anything remotely sweet. Good for my figure I guess!

Wow bologna and ketchup sandwiches! How funny! When did your cravings begin exactly?

Claire, My very first pregnancy sign w/my son was cravings. I could always control what I ate until I got pregnant. I know it started VERY early(4-5wks) because by 7-8 weeks I was totally sick and didn't want anything.

That's great to know. I'm on my way to work in a few minutes and I'm stopping at Arbys again! hehe
