Trying to Conceive - September 2006

My husband and I have been TTC for 3 months. It's possible that I'm just more in tune with my body and never noticed this stuff before, but it seems like all of a sudden I'm getting cramps in the middle of the month, am more irritable, disgusted at the scent of certain foods, constipated (which I've been told can happen from the prenatal vitamins I take), dizzy or nauseas far more frequently than I ever have been before...

This last month my period came 5 days early and was only for 3 days. 1 day was almost normal, the other 2 were brownish spotting (sorry to be so gross)..HPTs are coming up negative. I started my period on the 17th of September- when it should've been on the 22nd- and have taken a test as recently as 2 days ago, so I'm fairly certain I'm not pregnant.

My husband is trying to tell me that women's bodies can react to TTC itself, and that some of these things are common, even if you're not pregnant. Is this true?

A little info about myself....My LMP was 8/25. I believe I ovulated 9/7. I think I experienced implantation bleeding 9/16 - 9/19. I am now 8 days late. I took a hpt and it was negative. My doctor told me that he thought it would be because I have PCOS and my hormones are out of balance. My question is how long does it normally take to get a blood pregnancy test back? I took one Thursday morning and they said they would call me Friday morning with the results but never did. Do you think maybe something showed up that they need the doctor to analyze? Or maybe some hcg was in my system but not enough to determine absolute pregnancy? I'm so confused, nervous and anxious. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe hearing your stories will help me make it through this weekend.

I was wondering if anyone has heard of starting clomid BEFORE your period comes.
I have taken clomid days 5-9 and 3-7, and I've heard of 1-5 on the internet, but my RE said to start today,
which is day 28 of my cycle. I usually have 30 day cycles. I am pre-menstrual and think I could have waited, but he said it didn't matter because the blood test showed I was definately not pregnant, so just start it now.
Any info? Should I start it anyway???. . .
I'd LOVE to have shorter cycles but I don't know if this is safe.
Thanks!

I don't really have a question, but I just want to tell someone! My husband and I are about to start trying for baby #2. I don't want to tell my parents or his parents or any family members yet, but I'm excited (but also nervous). My best friend's not really a baby person, so she probably wouldn't understand how I feel. We have a 20 month old, and we're ready for her to have a little baby brother or sister. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'm trying not to get my hopes up because I'm worried that getting pregnant this time may take a while (when we got pregnant with our daughter, we weren't even trying to get pregnant- it came as a big surprise!) I've just heard of so many people who are TTC and are having a hard time getting pregnant. Wish me luck!!

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for almost two years and EVERYONE around me has gotten pregnant. 7 people in 20 months! I just found out that my sister in law is pregnant and she got married sunday. Sunday! I can't be happen because I am so sad. And angry. Why can't I be happy for others? I am usually a really nice person. Please tell me I am not alone. Don't be mean, i feel bad enough.

Im 28and I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA), diagnosed in 2002 and have been on heavy medication since. I've been off of my meds in January since my husband & I decided we want to have a baby. I am on predisone and my weight has gradually increased especially on the face. I also face possibilities of glaucoma and bone thinning due to prednisone. We've been trying to get pregnant for 4 months with no luck. I've charted my ovulation, used ovulation kits. Doctors wont even see me unless we've been trying to get preg for at least a year. My rheumatologist said the sooner I get preg, I can be off of prednisone since RA symptoms generally go away during pregnancy.I dont want to seem to be impatient, but I really need to get preg soon. The poofy face really bothers me along with other bad side effects of prednisone. Any suggestions are welcome.

My husband and i talked brieflyabout kids and he knows how much i want another child but he keeps telling me we will talk about it later, but never do. He has three (ages 16,6,2)and i have one child (age 3) of my own.i love them all, but i want another of my own.Everytime i turn around pregnancy is on, tv, magazines, and all around me. everytime i see that i want to ask him when are we going to try but i am afraid he doesn't want to have more.i asked him how about around february,because that's my yearly checkup, still no answer. how can i stop thinking about it? this is driving me crazy. I try and make joke about how he is being stingy and i would probably be to old to have more; but he seems to be irritated about it. what do i do?

Well I haven't gotten my period since June and I'm worried. I was using the birth control patch 6 months in 2004 and took it off Dec. 2004 and since then I'm not that regular but I still got it. I took test at home and they come out negative. We're trying to conceive since then but nothing has happen yet.

I have gotten positive results on the ovulation predictor kits and every month I have the appropriate cervical mucous changes at the right time. Does this all mean that I am for sure ovulating or just that my body is telling itself to ovulate? I mean could all these signs be there and still no egg actually released? We have been "casually" ttc for a few years and no luck so I'm just wondering if I'm even ovulating.

I need some advice please. On August 13th I had light spotting then it stopped. On Aug. 18th I started my period. My cycles are around 35 days and it's been 42 days I believe. I took a test on Tuesday and another one today (Friday) and they both said no. I have never been pregnant so I don't know what to feel for or look for, but I don't see any sign of my period and this is the longest I have ever gone. Could the tests be wrong??? Please someone help!!

Ok so here's the deal I have a 30 day cycle, always on time except if I'm stressed I'll only be about a day or so late (hardly ever)

I had my period Aug. 3 (no schedule) then I had strange spotting brown then light pink starting Aug. 19, I didn't think anything off it at the time, just thought my period was early (which it never is)
so as of now I could be very late or just about 10 days late....

then yesterday afternoon I starting spotting again only brownish very light, no cramps... and it stopped a little while ago.

I am not under any stress just a little confused

I was planning to go get a blood test monday but because of this new spotting I'm wondering if it's worth it yet....

so my question is do you have any idea of what is going on and how soon after implantation can you test?

I understand that when you are pregnant your breasts get bigger. How far along into the pregnancy can you notice they are bigger?

My hubby and I have just started trying for another child. I had been on BC pill for 8 years, stacking them for the last 2 years. I would only have a period every 8 or 9 weeks instead of every 4 weeks. When I stopped taking the pill, I started like normal, but am wondering if stacking the packs will alter how long it takes to have the next menstration. (If I am really lucky, I won't have one because we are pregnant).

I welcome any input you have on the side effects of stacking BC pill packs.

My husband and I are TTC. I have classic symptoms of pregnancy like sore breasts, nausea,etc. I know these are also premenstrual symtoms. But I noticed something different...the veins in my breasts are much, much more visible. this hasn't happed before, to my knowledge anyway. Does anyone know if this is a more reliable symptom of pregnancy or not? Thanks

I had an HSG, no blockage. Dr. put me on 50mg of clomid days 3-7. Went in on day 12 for ultrasound. Had 2 follicles, one was 19 and other was 25-31 in size. I was given shot of profosi on friday.. We had intercourse that day, several times on sunday and tuesday.I had some little sharp pains in my lower abdomen, and during intercourse my cervix was very sore feeling. Today is day 19 and I couldnt wait... I took a test. There is a faint positive line. Do you think this is from profasi injection on day 12 or pregnant?????
