I am TTC and thought for sure I was pregnant this month (cramping, fuller boobs, twinges, tired etc.) My period is due today 12-11-06 and last Tuesday 12-05-06 I had light brown spotting (hoping it was implantation bleeding) which I never experienced before. It lasted until yesterday and this morning it got heavier. I think it is now my period. Anybody else ever experienced that? How big are the chances that I am pregnant. Had a BFN on Saturday.

I know its really really hard to relax and try not to control getting pregnant when you're trying to. But honestly you need to stop trying to get pregnant, it will happen on its own, and not because you were anal about noticing every function of your body that might possibly be different from usual.

There are absolutely NO pregnancy symptoms that are different from regular PMS symptoms. Just because you ever got a certain one before, or got one to a certain severity doesnt mean you cant just up and develop it.

When the ovum implants in the uterus it is literally only a few hundred cells big, and when it implants there is not always blood. In fact doctors use the term 'implatation bleeding' to explain any strange spotting during the time of ovulation and implantation, this doesnt always mean its caused by an implanting ovum. Its such a rare occurance in the first place, and its even more extremely rare for it to happen for days on end. Its simply just not a good sign to look for when trying to tell if you're pregnant or not.

Break through bleeding, and your uterus doing some extra 'deep cleaning' by spotting before a period is insanely more common, and every woman will expereince this at some point in her life.

Its possible that you had a chemical pregnancy, where for one reason or another the ovum wasnt viable according to your body, and it was flushed out before the pregnancy could progress, resulting in what is now your period. Anything can cause this, but the biggest thing, unless you have a prevously diagnosed fertility problem, is the stress of wondering, thinking, hoping and trynig to MAKE yourself get pregnant.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to relax, expect to get pregnant, act like somenoe who expects to get pregnant, and just continue on with life as usual. Have sex when you feel the urge, enjoy it, go about daily life, and test if you realize youre late.

I spent two years trying to make myself pregnant. I even lost a baby early on. I was miserable every time my period started, i cried for that entire week. I bought dozens of ovulations tests and tried to catch just the right days to get pregnant. It got to the point where i couldnt even enjoy sex, or even anything intimate with my husband because it just seemed pointless since i wasnt getting pregnant.

I finally gave up and took my mother and grandmothers advice. STOP TRYING. So i did. I decided i'd get pregnant later, and until then i'd study up on management, look into a new career, just take a break and try later.

I got pregnant in one cycle from making that decision. And the craziest part was, I had absolutely not symptoms, was convinced for the first time in my married life that i was WASNT pregnant that month, and was late nearly a week before my husband made me take a test.

Its amazing what your body can do when you leave it alone to do its thing.
