Need some advice?

I hvae been trying to conceive since August, eventually had my period on 20th Nov lasted till 27th Nov.  Was TTCing from the 30th Nov till 7th Dec (not kidding) had a clear stretchy discharge on the 8th Dec so was TTCing again.  Only 1 day in a week did we no TTC.  What i would like to know is i am now having lower back and abdominal pain mostly to my right, is this a sign of pregnancy?  And also, when would be the best time for me to try a pregnancy test?  I appreciate all your help.

Most pregnancy tests can be taken 3-5 days before your missed period. I would just take one if I actually missed my period. When is your period due? Abdominal pain could certainly be a sign of pregnancy. Good luck!

Well first, it's best to have sex every other day-that way your mans sperm is stronger, thats how I got pregnant the first time around. The clear stretchy discharge on the 8th was when you were ovulating...so if you were ovulating then chances are you didn't get pregnant in November..so if you are pregnant you would prolly be about a week or so which I think is too early to detect on a HPT. So if your period is all messed up, I would just wait a week or so and take a HPT.
As for the lower back pain, if you are only a week or so I don't know if you'd be feeling those symptoms...I didn't start feeling symptoms until I was 4 weeks but I guess it's possible since your body does change so much. Keep us updated!

hello

Yea I'm talking about people who have trouble conceiving...if you are trying to have a baby and it's been a few months and you haven't gotten pregnant yet, my doctor told me, have sex every other day, sperm is stronger and faster! haha. But I guess if you don't have problems getting pregant right away than have sex whenever you want. I just know a lot of women on here are ttc and thats what they've been told.
When I was pregnant, I was getting cramps and I thought I was getting my period so I was bummed, but it never came! So hang in there and take a test next week :)
