Hi, my nick is "A Mom To Be" because that is what my husband and I are hoping to be, and we would like some of your help.
So far the millions of tests I have taken say negative but my AF isn't due until Tuesday so I am guessing that it might be too early for the hormones in my body to be at a level which can be tested.
Other than us trying to fall pregnant the symptoms I am encountering is being tired, last night I fell asleep at 5.30pm and slept in until 8.00am this morning. I have had headaches for approximately 10 days now and also had tiny cramps on my sides, and I swear it is harder to pull my stomach back in. My breasts have been a bit tender but by nipples have been quite sore and I am 90% positive that they have darkened around the actual nipple, and they have been more erect.
When do you all notice darkening around the nipple?
Do these symptoms sound like pregnancy to you?
I guess I will find out on Tuesday if AF comes or not.
Scary and exciting stuff.
Questions for you to answer:
What were your early signs and symptoms?
How many weeks were you when you found out?
Did you have negative home pregnancy tests?
When did your nipples change?
Did you still feel like you were going to get your AF before you realised you were pregnant?
Do you think I am pregnant?
Thanks girls. ↓

| you could be, and just not producing enough HCG yet, but i had 5 negatives before showing positive.. also when ur wanting so badly to be pregnant, u can actually convince ur body u are. its weird. but true. goodluck. ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 30th, 2006 5:20 AM |
| When were your 5 negatives taken, before or after your period which was due? Also do you know why some women produce more HCG and others dont. And is it possible to feel pregnant and have low HCG? ↑ |
| Name: Coartney | Date: Oct 30th, 2006 5:22 AM |
| i had tested a couple days prior and a few days after then i started to get faint lines, i even had one doctor tell me i wasnt but i was almost 2 weeks late by that point, so i got a blood test done. I have no idea why some bodies produce it faster and why others dont honestly. this is my first pregnancy. alot of things you said again sound to be pregnancy symptoms, but at the same time, you can trick ur body. if you dont get ur period around ur dated one, take another test, or you could always go get a blood test, they're not too shabby on price, mine was 20$ here in florida, and they can pick up any amount of HCG ↑ |

1) Nausea, and I was urinating a lot more. My breasts were also sore.
2) The same day I was supposed to get my period, I checked.
3) I didn't have one, but I did it on the day I was expecting AF.
4) They did nearly two weeks after, little bumps, VERY sore, etc.
5) Yep. Infact, I did bleed some as well. To this day around that time of the month I feel like I am getting my AF.
6) It's hard to tell, but good luck, I I hope you are, take a test when you miss it !
Oh and a friend of mine had 3 negatives before she got one possible. Also any change in hormone levels can cause you to feel it! ↑ |

I haven't got my AF yet but she is due today, and I no longer feel confident that I am pregnant. I think AF will come.

| I had several show neg after I was late. The "signs" very so much form person to person that it is hard to say. The cramping and tiredness are very common ones. I would try not to stress about it until you have missed your cycle. Good luck ↑ |
| Name: connie | Date: Oct 30th, 2006 10:19 PM |
Your symptons do sound familar to me, I test 17 days after I concieved, 7 days after my period was due.
I still get feelings like I am getting my monthy cycle but now it is more growing pains.
Good luck, let us know. ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 30th, 2006 10:22 PM |
| Thanks connie and jillw, but I think I have lost all hope and will have to try again next month, which is bad because I think my husband is going away for work on 2 of my very fertile days :( I can't win, trying to get pregnant is hard work (then again pregnancy, babies and children are harder). ↑ |

1) I had some cramping and my boobs really hurt. I started to feel nauseated
2) I was 4 weeks when I found out
3) no
4) I don't remember when my boobs changed. I went up a cup size in the first 2 or 3 months though
5) Yes, I felt like I was going to get my AF for weeks even after I found out I was pg...it was just everything stretching and the extra blood flow to that area made it fell crampy and bloated.
6) I HOPE SO!! GOOD LUCK ↑ |

I was very emotional, I had one sickness day, I was constipated, and had to pee more often. My boobs were not sore or did not hurt at all at that point so I was not sure. I took couple of home tests, and it started from negative to positive after couple of days. In between these days, I got a 2nd faint line, which also confused me. I was less then 1 month before I was totally positive that I was pregnant. I say it is likely that you are preg but I also agree with coartney.
Good luck! ↑ |

| Well AF isn't here yet, but I will give her a few more hours until I start to smile. If she isnt here tomorrow then I will test. I am not confident though. ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 4:42 AM |
I am pathetic. I did another test because I couldn't help myself. NEGATIVE :(
Did any of you get a NEGATIVE on the first day of your missed period? ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 4:43 AM |
| Don't worry about upsetting me or offending me, YES, I am resigned to the fact that it is 99.9% negative. Sadly there is a 0.1% of hope left in me. ↑ |

With my son I did not have any symptoms what so every until I want to say a week or two after my period was due. But I ended up taking a pregnancy test the day my AF was suppose to be because I just knew I wasn't going to get and sure enough I had 2 line. Faint but none the less 2 line. My nipples actually didn't have any sort of change to them until almost the very end of my pregnancy.
I am now 29 weeks with my second and actually started feeling ill about a week before my period was due. Although my husband and I had been trying for sometime and were on fertility drugs I just assumed that I was coming down with something since I thought I was way to early to have any sort of symptoms. 2 days before my AF was due I broke down and took a test only because my 2 year old pointed at my belly and said, "Mama, Baby in tummy." I got a big fat Negative. I took one again the next day and still negative. The day my period was due took another one still negative. I actually took 5 pregnancy test all which came back negative. I did eventually end up getting a positive result but it was very faint. I actually didn't get a bright positive until about a week after my AF. With this pregnancy my breast and areolas changed almost immedicately. Also I would have swore I was going to get AF because I actually felt as if I was going to get it. I was so convinced that I was going to get it that I continue to take up to 4 more test just to make sure that the first 2 were not false. ↑ |

Oh God, my legs are aching so much, that is a killer of a sign for AF.
Hope depleting. But hey it is 1 day over. ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 11:07 AM |
| Unless any of you got sore legs in week 4 of your pregnancy. Did you? ↑ |
| Name: EthansMom0213 | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 1:34 PM |
| Well hopefull you won't get it and your body is just reacting to as if your going to get it. Occassionly this can happen. I would have sworn that I was getting my AF with my currant pregnancy but nope never came. ↑ |
| Name: julie23 | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 2:17 PM |
mom 2 be,
your not gaurenteed to get a positive result that early if you are pregnant, some people have enough of the pregnancy hormone by then, and they say that's really the earliest you can test, I tested about 2 weeks after my missed period and got a positive result. on my first pregnncy I test the first day after missed af and got a positive result....but my girlfriend kept testing and didn't get a positive result until 20 something days after her missed af.... I was really surprized the test took so long to pick up the hormone in her urine,so u could wait another few days then retest, if still negitive you could get the blood analysis which is more sensitive then urine.... good luck:~) ↑ |

my nipples didn't start to darken till about 5months
yea they could be prego symtoms
I didn't get my period but i spotted pink a few times in the morning.
i was about 10wks when i found out.
yes i took two digital test both came back neg.
my periods were always screwed up anyways so i never knew when it was coming or if it would for the month.
you are having prego symptoms for sure but wait and see.
being prego is always a hurry up than wait thing. it can get nerve wrecking at time. ↑ |

| I hope you don't get it, I'll have my fingers crossed in hopes God will grant you a gift =D! ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 9:08 PM |
Thank you all.
It is still not here, but as I have said I feel like I will get AF any second. ↑ |
| Name: Marlene | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 9:14 PM |
| Just checking to see if you got it yet? fingers crossed. If you are prego you are only about 2wks prego you period was only 4wks ago so you may not get the horemons level high enough for a couple more wks. Just hang in there. ↑ |
| Name: melmoney | Date: Oct 31st, 2006 9:18 PM |

I guess I will find out on Tuesday if AF comes or not.
Scary and exciting stuff.

| Perhaps AF is late but because she is still not here :) ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 6:40 AM |
Also sorry for being so vocal and talkative on this post, but I can't talk to family about this as they are not close by and I dont want to share this until we are pregnant, and my friends are single or unmarried and dont have kids, and I work with many of them and I dont want work to know we are trying until we are a few months pregnant. This chat is a great place to be thanks to so many amazing women such as yourself.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND COMMENTS :) ↑ |

I am probably jumping the gun but hey here I go anyway. . . blah blah blah . . . I have a 29 day cycle and now 31 days have passed (still feel like AF is going to come but totally hope she has gone on a vacation far away). I keep checking all the time, and so far all clear... oh I hope I am not stressing myself into being late and not pregnant :S
But it is exciting, I am smiling on the inside. Fingers, toes, eyes . . . everything crossed.
Good luck to everyone else TTC. ↑ |
| Name: A Mom To Be | Date: Nov 1st, 2006 9:17 PM |
3 days late.
I don't want to waste a test so I will wait a week. (1. Incase I am just late, 2. Incase stress delayed it.) ↑ |
