Hello my fellow TTC'ers,

This is not a question. I posted this for support. I really need your encouragement right now. AF was supposed to start on Saturday, but as of today, Monday...NOTHING yet. I am so scared of taking a PT! I dont want to pay the 15 buck for an over the counter one..... I dont want to go to the DR, cause I wont get results until tomorrow and I was stress and not sleep at all night tonight.

I think I am so afraid that I may NOT be pregnant I am making up all kinds of excuses NOT to test. I'm scared of the outcome either way. 4 misscarriages.... 1 ectopic and 2 birth (Ages 9 and 8) I ahvent had a baby sine 1998...OMG...

I really want this really bad.....but I am afraid.

im 37 weeks pregnant and have been having mad false labor pains. i timed the contractions for 2 hours last night....they started at 10 mins apart exactly and were just uncomfortable and progressed to really really painful contractions that i couldnt ease no matter what i tried and i couldnt hold a sentence with my husband through and they got to about 3-4 mins apart. i was sure i would be going to the hospital last night. i had my husband call the dr and by the time we heard back from her...this was at 3am it took a few pages to wake her believe it or not....the contractions started shifting backwards to about 5-7 mins apart and lasting just over a min. so she said just to try and get some rest and go to the hospital if they are 2-3 mins for a good hour....so is there any good way to know when i am having false labor and when it is real labor? cause i have a 2 year old and i dont want to call and wake my sister at 2am to come over if its not for real....

I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and for the past couple of days I have been having pains in my tailbone area . . has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? . . My mom said that I will probably carry my baby low, which is what's causing this pain . . is that true, or just something she made up?? . . any suggestions as to what I can do to ease the pain??

I have a one year old who will be going with the babysitter very soon. My babysitter is a friend of the family- a sweet stay at home mom in her early 40s. She will be babysitting my son for about 9 hours twice a week because of my work schedule. I'm afraid it may be awkward if I offer her too little or too much. Her husband is making a very healthy living for her and her family, so I know that money is not a huge issue, but I would like some suggestions on how much to offer her per week (2 days a wk/ 9 hrs a day)? Please help! And for any smart @$$e$ who like to go around and leave dumb comments- don't bother answering because whatever you say is just a waste of space!

I want to know if anyone has succeeded in using sex to induce labor. I know that it is caused by the male sperm. But has anyone actually accomplished this??

I know it may sound like an odd question, but is it okay to drink coffee and/or espresso while I'm pregnant? My fatigue is so strong I can barely stay awake at work. Naps just make me even more tired. I just don't know how to stay awake and be pregnant at the same time. This is my 3rd child, so you'd think I'd know the answer to this, the truth is I wasn't working when I was pregnant with either of them, so I had time to sleep all day. Please, any advice on how to stay awake, or if you know how much coffee is too much....anything would help. Thanks.

Which comes first? Dilation or loss of mucus plug? I didn't go into labor naturally with daughter #1 so I don't have anything to reference with this one.

DS is finally sitting on the potty without too much protest, but he can sit there for 20 min or half an hour, and produce nothing! Any tips to help him pee?

I'm almost 28 weeks, and every now and then I get really bad cramps! They feel like I'm about to start my period and they last about 1-2 minutes long. I've had these since about 2 months ago, but only about 2-3 each month. Now I'm getting them more often (like 2 times a week) Someone told me that they were braxton hicks contractions...could that be what they are? Has anyone else ever experienced this while pregnant?

Thanks!

My daughter is 2 months old. My hubby was out of work 2 weeks after baby was born. Now he works 12 hour shifts & sleeps in between & is off on the weekends. When he holds her she gets fussy. Is it because he didn't get to bond with her or she has to get to know him again? Or are most babies just close to their mommies like that? I would like to know cause it worries me.

Ok, before anything, I told my baby's doctor whats going on but she said it was normal, but mom's can relate to me about gut feelings and what the doctor says isn't right.
Here's the deal, for the past week, I've been giving my baby her formula, she'll start sucking and she takes 2oz, then I burp her and everything is fine. I try feeding her again, but then she'll start crying and has a hard time trying to eat. I can tell that she's still hungry cause she'll suck on it, but then she cries. I can hear her stomach rumble, and everytime that happens, she cries. She was a good eater taking 4-6oz, now she's only taking 2-3oz.
Now, do you think this is normal like the doctor says? Or do you think my gut is right? Anybody gone thru this experience?

I am looking for used fall/winter clothes for a boy. Size 6-9 months. Anyone have any they don't need anymore? I just can't justify spending $100 or more for clothes that he will out grown in such a short time! I have tried second hand shops online and ebay but just can't find anything worth it.

Check this out!!?
I took a pt at the doctor's office on 9-6-06 & it was negative!! Exactly 2 wks later, I took a HPT and it was positive! The next day, I did a serum test and it was positive and my cycle was due on the 21st of sept. I started what seems to be a light period on 9-23 and I took a HPT the same day and it was positive. The bleeding is light red and it's not flowing like a normal period. If I wouldn't have taken the PT, I would think that it's a light period. Is this implantation since it's only been 2 wks? I went to the doctor and they did a urine and a serum test and I won't know the results until tomorrow!! I'm nauseated and tired and I've gained 2 lbs since Thursday!! Has anyone experienced this and had a normal pregnancy or have a miscarriage??????

My girlfriend took the Plan B pill about 14 hours after we engaged in sexual activity. It was the day before her period started. We've never had sex, but she performed unprotected oral sex on me. I think some of the ejaculation got on my hand, and I did wipe it off with a paper towel. I then proceeded to finger her. To be safe, we decided to get the Plan B pill.

It's been a day since she's taken the pill, and she is experiencing cramping normal to what she gets 2-3 days before her bleeding starts. Is this a good sign, or will her period be delayed? I'm sorry, I'm really panicking and need some reassurance.

Is this a good time.I have a 15 month old .Should I allow her to watch me go to the bathroom and make it sound exiting and fun to go to the potty any tips please.
