Sharing My Experience - TTC

Hi, I am fairly new to this site..

Last month I decided I wanted to try to conceive with my husband. I was on birth control for about 9 months (Nuvaring). I stopped taking birth control in January. I have a 9 year old son. So here are the events. Last menstrual Cycle was March 27th. I have a 31-32 cycle. I ovulated on the 14th. I had sex with my hubby on the 2nd, 7th. I had some bleeding on the 8th that lasted for 2 days. I have no idea what that was about. never happened before. We had sex again in the 14th and the 16th. I had some spotting only when I wiped on the 19th. I believe this may have been implantation bleeding. So right now I am doing the 2 week wait. My period is supposed to start on April 28th. I am driving myself crazy. lol. I know I am testing to early. I took an EPT test yesterday with was a BFN. Hoping it was just that I tested to early! Some symptoms but I don't know if to call them symptoms because it's very close to pms symptoms. My lower back is in pain. But yesterday I noticed my nipples are extremely sore. normally it's the breast itself that is sore. my boobs aren't tender to touch just the nipples. A few days ago I felt a tingle on my nipple and when i squeezed it a clear liquid came out.

So ladies I am going to keep u posted on what is going on and I hope I get a positive pregnancy test in a few days. I have 1 more test and refuse to buy anymore. So i'm going to wait at least until thursday to test! Unless AF decides to show up then and there! I hope and pray not!

Not boring, esp to someone ttc themselves lol... I really hope you get ur BFP! I'm in the same boat, I od between 18th and 22nd bd on 17th and 21st ( my husband and I work opposite shifts and have a 7 year old) but on 24th we were at it again and afterwards I noticed I had three very small spots of blood on my tp, since then I've had a full feeling in uterus and sore nipples and one side of my boob is extremely sore but still I won't know until may 6th when af does or doesn't show :/ keep me posted good luck

i guess i am getting back my irregular long periods again! i am going to start taking agnus castus to regulate my hormones. I think my hormones are out of wack. I have like 1 million pimples and they hurt. i think they are hormonal acne from an imbalance. so i'm going to try that to regulate..

but now I want to get pregnant not this month but the following month. lol. because I plan to go Miami in october and don't want to be to big if I am pregnant. lol.

well I am totally late on posting lol but i am now in the same boat you girls were in.... AF is 4days late...have some symptoms that i think would point to pregnancy but could be a late AF as well...also I have taken 2 HPT and they both came back negative.
I am having the sore nipples (usually whole boob when AF)...mild nausea, tired(but could attribute that to workng), irritable(again could be AF), bloated,  and my periods never been this late...its soo  frustrating,,,,hubby and i are soo anxious to get pregnant..

Congrats on your promotion! woohooo! :) I don't have any preggo symptoms or AF symptoms today. I had to turn off my computer tv everything last nite.. i'm becoming obsessed with the shows: a baby story, one born every minutes. babys first day, I didn't know I was pregnant, Bringing baby home.. all the baby shows or anything relating to pregnancy.. and all i go online and google about preggo symptoms etc etc etc and look on various blogs and forums.. I turned off it off yesterday and am now putting it on for the first time today. reading a good book! i'm going to stop obsessing over becoming pregnant.. ugghh! lol. if it's for me it'll happen not in my time but in God's time..

When the nuvaring first came out or was getting popular I had it for just a week couldn't make it fit right but it really messed my af up that was when I was like 16 or so, but I have heard that even if you have a completely normal regular period its ok to miss a month or have an off cycle I did last month and I'm paying for it now lol, that's the only thing I can think of a mc doesn't make since cause I tested not long ago and it was negative... But really if ur af or bfp isn't here in a week maybe you should consult your doctor?

Hey! I am ok today. not testing today though. Still no AF and none of my normal AF symptoms.. still nipples are sore as hell and i've been getting sleepy earlier than usual. but nothing that drastic. I really hope I get a BFP. my best friend just texted me and said her and her fiance and going to start planning soon to conceive and she vowed never to have anymore children lol. I bet she'll be pregnant before me. lol.. but I really hope that this time it is it..

How are u feeling? 3 more days! the time is finally near for u

Yeah I understand what u mean, I was trying for 9 months to not prevent or actively try lol and then when I got to the point of giving up I got pregnant that same month so maybe giving up seems to be the secret :/ the majority of people who get pregnant do seem to be the ones trying to prevent it?

i feel like i am not living fully. i'm at a standstill right now. all my mind is thinking and hoping I am pregnant. this is the worst. ttc is worse than getting a surprise pregnancy. with my son he was unplanned so all this 2ww I never had to do. but now this time it's utterly insane
