i really feel pregnant i jus dnt want it to be all in my head...

[impatientlywaitin18]

so my husband and i have been trying to conceive for almost a year now. we really want a child of our own. i have started a whole new diet just to ensure that when i am pregnant that my body is already a healthy environment for my unborn baby. i get my period on the 5th of each month the latest every SO often on the 7th. today is the 7th of october and for the last 2 weeks i have felt more pregnant then ever. my stomach is tighter when poked touched right below the belly button, i have been nauseous but havent thrown up except for once or twice a lil bit in the mouth, extremley tired to where i cant even think straight, look straight, anything without feeling like i havent slept enough ( i will sleep some days until 4 pm and be dead tired from watching tv and making dinner by 8 pm...), a lil moody but i have had a lot of things to be upset about so that could be why, frequent urination ( its been so bad where i think i have to pee and only a couple drops come out...also my urine has been extremely light in shade the last week ..dnt know if that means anything just wanted to add that), headaches in the right side of head pounding out of nowhere, and then the general "i feel pregnant" feeling.... i am 3 days late now and have taken two home tests. they have both shown up negative..could i just be psyching myself out or could it possibly be too early to tell? i am so distraught about wanting this baby i am afraid its all in my head or that im crazy or something...please help with advice only request is that everyones honest i dont need any more false hope....thanks :((

thanks i was definitely considering it but wasn't sure if 4 days of spotting was too mich i officially stopped bleeding at 12:05 AM this morning..my stomach is still completely hard n bloated looking and the nausea got worse today while at work this morning. it was like that yesterday at work too but I wasn't sure if it was just the lack of food because  I had not eaten that much. I think I am going to take one I really hope it comes up positive. I have been trying for soo long now. My husband is convinced I am
I will keep you all posted though
thanks

Get a blood test done.  that has to tell you for sure what is happening.
I hope you are preggers.  I'll pray for you
good luck
Keep us posted.

[impatientlywaitin18]

just to keep all of u posted the bleeding has almost stopped as well as the mild cramping. im not even wearing any type of pad or tampon etc... pretty intrigued by this. i dont even know what to think. Should I be excited? Is there still a chance? Planned Parenthood wants me to come down and take another test so we will see...but just wanted to let you guys know what is happening ..

thanks

thanks it is definitely hard to be patient and relax... i just want this baby so bad and my husband is already in complete daddy mode :( he is just so cute and to think that i might not be pregnant AGAIN and that i am the reason he is gunna be disappointed is really tough one me. I really don't understand this. And PetiteWonder: No i have only taken a hpt when i was 2 days late and not since because i have been kinda nervous (if you cant tell). Today i woke up and it seemed as if it was my period it was pretty dark and a pretty generous quantity but then 2 hrs later i went to go to the bathroom again and there was no blood once again and im spotting again.. this is so weird i am baffled. right when i start to think "hey alright it's time to just prepare for another month of ttc..itll be spotting again" i officially believe i am crazy now. any ideas ladies? i am going to planned parenthood on either monday or tuesday depending on my work schedule...and if you dont think i am pg is there any good tips you could pass along that you think might have gotten you pg? thaks for all your support

Have you taken another home pregnancy test since the 2 days?
I found I didnt have any symptoms until a week after my missed period.. and the big indicator for me was being really hungry after just eating (usually only my first mealof the day)...  I was also extremely tired but that I did not think anything about that as I was getting up at 5am for work everyday..  I ended up having a blighted ovum unfortunately but I mean even when my husband idndt believe i would be pregnant, its like I knew I was, .

You can get false negatives. .but most doctors will tell you that most home pregnancy tests are very accurate if taken at the right time. If you are 10 days late and still showing up negative, im not sure what to think especially if it is on multiple tests..  implantation bleeding should occur within 3 -5 days of ovulation from what i have been told but you may have ovulation late??  Shortly after i tested positive, i had some light pink spotting only when I wiped, I figured it was implantation bleeding but looking back, probably my first sign of the evenual miscarriage.  everyone is different though some people bleed like its their period and find out 3 months later they are pregnant.  Good Luck

I don't know if this will make you feel any better but it took my husband and I over a year to conceive our 2nd (currently 32 weeks pregnant w/her!). I had blood tests and my husband had a semen analysis. It turned out that while he does have normal sperm in there he has more abnormal sperm than most. He was referred to a urologist and during the time between his diagnosis and his appt we found out I was pregnant! He got to cancel his appt. We think it was because we were relaxing and waiting to see a dr rather than worrying about getting pregnant. The exact same thing happened to someone else I know, as soon as they had tests done they conceived! I know it's hard to hear people say relax. I HATED that so much. And I had pregnancy symptoms every single month and cried every time my period came. I'm sorry you're going through this. I will cross my fingers that your bleeding is not period related, but if it is just try to relax. I know that is easier said than done, but it might really help. Good luck, I will keep you in my thoughts!

thanks for posting for me i appreciate that this morning i started spotting....i am not bleeding except for when i pee. its not extremely light coloring but its not as dark as normal... i started at 10 am and every time i go to change and look there is NO blood except for one spot ..i am having on and off cramping though. im not really sure, what do you think? should me and my husband just prepare to try again? is this my period? or could this be really late implannation bleeding? PLEASE heLp..should i even keep my blood test appointment in 5 days

If you are pregnant it should come up positive within 7 days past when AF is due. I'd suggest taking a digital with first morning urine and if it is positive CONGRATS and if not call your OB and see what to do. I've had to take progesterone for a week to make AF come before. Drs didn't know why AF wouldn't come but darnit we made AF come so we could get back to baby making :)

[impatientlywaitin18]

I feel terrible for you just try and relax and do do a digital test i think theyre better anyways :) ur symptoms cud be pregnancy or pms im going thru same thing,it can be hard to tell the difference and when ur ttc sumtimes u myt be looking so hard that you notice every single symtom but you probably are pregnant,jus wait few more days to test and chill out dont get stressed,let us know wish you all the best x

I agree with clysta pregnancy symptoms are not always reliable especially because many of the symptoms we can have could also be explained by stress, PMS or illness (flu, urinary tract infection). I would suggest waiting a few days and try testing with your first morning urine. I suggest the digital test as you don't have to compare lines and be left wondering. It can take up to a week after your due AF to test positive according to one of the medical drs who just did a web seminar on here. Good luck!!  I know how stressful ttc can be. Since it's been about a year now you can ask your OB Gyno about fertility testing and treatment. Maybe they can look and see if there is a medical explanation and help you get the BFP you want :). If you ever have any questions about ttc it took me 34 months and five different OB's before I finally got to this point (21 weeks pregnant) feel free to message me or leave me a note on my wall. I've done everything but sperm donor and IVF. Good luck!!

Symptoms in general are not indicative of pregnancy. You can have them and not be pregnant, and you could have none and be pregnant. It is of course always possible to be pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex. Try waiting a few days to a week and retesting. Make sure you're using a sensitive test (pink dye tests and the best as blue dye have been know to cause false positives) and test with first morning urine.
