so im having some symotoms this cycle. what do you guys think?

Its actually kind of funny, because i wanted to stop ttc this cycle, but i had trouble getting ahold of my doc to get birth control so i ended up having a normal cycle and BDing without birth control. And now im wondering if i might have conceived this cycle without trying!

I normally have 34 day cycles, with ovulating on CD21.  I wasnt ttc this month so i wasnt paying very close attention to my CM and such, but i did notice fertile CM around CD 21, so im thinking i ovulated then. And i did end up BDing on CD 21 and CD 22. As of today, i am on CD 41, so i am about 6 days late for AF. Although, it is not unusual at all for me to have even longer cycles, so im not sure if i technically am late or not.

I have been having certain symptoms that is making me wonder if i conceived. My bbs have been super duber sore, which they almost never get; so sore to where its uncomfortable to sleep on my belly. And this symptom has been occuring for over a week. Plus i have been very tired, and having lots of headaches (which is also not unusual for me).

So im thinking i will wait still a little longer. My longest cycle was 49 days (i didnt ovulate), but i think i will wait until i am around CD 49 ( i am CD 41 right now) and then if nothing happens, i will test. What do you ladies think?? Anyone have a similar experience??

How ironic would it be that after ttc for 9 months, that i would conceive the month i stopped ttc?! lol

soo i tested this morning and it looks like....Im pregnant!!!!!!!!! I got a strong and clear BFP right away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my goodness, i'm so in shock. Of coarse I finally conceive the month i stopped trying lol!!

and no, i don't think taking a week's worth of birth control would cause the sore bbs -- exciting!!!

[kimmery]

sarah, this is so exciting -- it might be it!!! i'll keep my fingers crossed for you! :)
while it's possible it could be other things causing the sore bbs, a positive is also very possible! let me know how it goes!  xo

do you think that taking a weeks worth of birth control caused the sore bbs?

thanks! i thought i still had an hpt to use, but i was mistaken. so i still have to go to the store and get a couple. im just so nervous that its going to turn out to be nothing again :( i stopped ttc after 9 months, but including this cycle, it would be 10 months. im really excited that my bbs are really sore (that would sound weird to anyone not ttc lol), but im also really anxious that as soon as i get a hpt, af will randomly show, or another neg

It's been know that as soon as you stop trying, pregnancy happens.  I hope this is true for you!  You're welcome to wait a bit longer, but it's okay to do an HPT now since enough time has probably passed for your body's hCG levels to increase.  Good luck!!  Keep us posted.
