Pregnancy Info HOME

Tammy...and all other ladies...I am so confused! Went to the DR. and had a blood test done. My HCG level is 5.8. Now to my understanding anything under 5 is not PG and anything between 5-50 is 2days-1 week gestatenial age. So I may be pg.? I just started going to this new dr. and personally I think he sucks. He couldn't give me a defenite yes or no answer...he says you might be.! So now besides all the aches and pains that I have been having I have to add confusion to this mess. I really think I am but I guess I will just have to wait and see if I get AF. What do you guys think about this?

tammy you are so funny...only say that because I took a test last night also..too ansy...and yes it was neg.. :( I knew it would but i just had to see...still af is not expected until the 24th...so i am still waiting..I too feel she will show...I have been a little cramp and sore bb's ... I just feel pmsy...but I normally don't feel like this until 2 days before af... so I know how you're feeling...pamela...umm..I don't know what to say...when was the last time you took a test?

Well yesterday is when I had the blood test done. I am not going to take an HPT until the day I am supposed to get AF. I am just in a state of confusion right now.

pamela...that is confusing...but maybe its just too early..when are you expecting af?

AF is due the 20th. Hopefully she doesn't show!

It's my BIRTHDAY!!!!! Yea! I feel so old! Just kidding! I am trying to talk my hubby into getting me a puppy for my birthday...he's not buying it though!! There are some rottweiler puppies for sale in our town, and both the parents have such a great temperment. I know someone who bought one from their last litter, and she is the nicest rotty I have ever met!!!!!! I know, I knew it was going to be negative too, but I just had to take it!! It's like something in my brain saying, Just do it Tammy, you won't be satisfied until you do. I'm weird!! I really feel like AF is going to come. I am sooooo bloated today!!! And it doesn't help that it is hot out either!! I feel miserable!! I feel WAY pms'y. Just ask my husband. I was so crabby yesterday, I though AF was here for sure!! I normally don't start feeling this way either until like one or two days before AF arrives, and its been three days now. I don't like how nature plays tricks on us!! Pamela11, I hope it is a positive!! I guess they are probably saying "maybe" right now because the levels are still low. And some women naturally have a higher level of HCG (above the 5). So since how it is supposed to double every other day, take a test like on monday or tuesday, a sensitive one like first response, and it should be able to detect it then. Good luck to you! I hope you are :)

Oh yeah, I've been really, really, REALLY h__y the last couple of days too!!!!!!! Sorry if TMI!! haha

Well hello ladies. How is everyone else doing in their tww period? Still no AF for me. But I know she's coming. Still had cramps and was bloated today, so I don't think I'm going to get that BFP that I wanted for my birthday. Oh Well, I guess there's always next month to try again!! I just hate this waiting period. If I'm going to get it, then I want to get it NOW so it can be done and over with so we can start trying again. And if I'm not going to get it, then I want the darn pregnancy test to show me POSITIVE!! Sorry, kinda crabby yet too!!

Hey tammy! Seen your post today. Thought I would update everybody.. Im on CD18, Sore nipples, mild cramping this morning and a little bit this afternoon, VeRY TIRED! hubby and I got some babydancing in this weekend (even though im sure i already ovulated, but since im not charting this month--you never know!) I have made myself promise while I am TTC if I test for pregnancy, I am no longer going to test before my period's due.. I mean dont get me wrong- if i am pg I want to know the first poss. day I can, but it is sooo dissapointing when I see that ugly BFN on the test time after time, and I dont think I can handle that-- + not to mention first response is like $20 a test!! expensive!! And its not worth the $20 to keep getting all those dang negative results! So I decided I would take this 2ww and spend it with you all.. It sucks waiting, it is soo stressful when your TTC, b/c that 2weeks feels like 2 years before you know. ~*BaBy DuSt*~ to everybody! Lets all get some BIG FAT POSITIVES!!!!!!

I went to the dollor store today and bought a test, what the heck, it's only a buck right! It is turns out to be neg., I won't feel like I waisted my money right? I had one left, but my sis used it cuz she thought she was preggers too. Turns out she's not, and she got her AF the same night that she tested. It's almost like your body says. O.K. we're not pregnant. AF can come now, because that always happens to me to. I'll buy the darn things, take it, and three hours later I get my rag. Isn't that a nice waste of money!! It is soooo hard waiting to take a test because you want to know ASAP!! But I will be a good girl and wait to test again until the day AF is due, which is tues., or wed. So I will be patient and wait until Wed. Good night ladies.

hey girls..........are we all still waiting? i am due tomorrow or wed or thurs. it depends every cycle is different. i dont know if i feel pms or not? sometimes it seems pms is worse some months than others and that can trick you when your ttc. best of luck for a positive week!!!!

Hey girls.......Well I still have been having the "symptoms" and today at work I got the feeling like I was going to be sick. So I left work early because I couldn't take it anymore and went to CVS to buy a pg test. I bought a cheapy that way I wouldn't get p__sed that I wasted 20.00 on a first response justto get a BFN. So I got home around 2 in the afternoon and took it.......BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a drs. appointment on Wed. morning to see whats going on. I really thought AF was coming too. I was supposed to get tomorrow......not anymore!!! Keep your heads up ladies......last week my doctor told me I wasn't pg and here it is 1 week later and I am!!!!! BABY DUST!

Congradulations Pam! That is soo awesome.. Maybe your BFP will rub some luck on all of us still waiting! Just wondering, what CD were you on when you took the HPT? What symptoms were you having, that really made you wonder if you were preggers, or was it an intuition?? Best of luck, keep us posted on your Dr.s appt Wed. ~*Baby Dust*~

Congrats Pamela!! I am so happy for you! You have to be soooo excited!! Isn't it nice to see that BFP when you are expecting a BFN? I can't wait to test on Wed., well that is if AF doesn't show up!! I almost just want to go to the doctor to get a blood test. That way they can tell me yes, or no. I don't have to sit there and wonder "Is that a second line I see or not" "Is it a real line or a evaporation line?" What brand of test did you use? I will test w/ my dollar store test on Wed. I really wanted to test today, but I made myself wait!! I am still feeling crampy, not as bad as the last few days. I for sure thought AF was going to show this morning. I felt so sick last nigh, and was getting how flash's and just felt all around yucky. Two more days!! Congrats again! Let us know how your doc. apt. goes on Wed. Maybe by then I will have some good news too!

Hey girls! Thanks for the congrats! I hope that you guys get BFP also that way we can all keep in touch throughout the months! TTCbEbE2, to answer your questions....my symptoms were very sore b___sts (especially around the nipple) tiredness, back and stomach cramps. Actually I was convinced that AF was coming because of the aches and pains. I also had thick white cm, almost like lotion for three days. Also my nose has been very stuffy....but I don't know if thats a sign or not. I was CD 25 when I tested. This is so weird to actually be talking about this! Anyway, Tammy I used a CVS brand pg test. It was 2 for 10 bucks. Can't beat that. I am so happy ladies. If there is ANYTHING I can help you with please ask. I am willing to help as much as I can. I know how the whole 2ww can be and it sucks. Just stay positive. Like I said last week my dr. gave me a test and he said I wasn't pg. 1 week later and I am. Thanks girls for your support.....Tammy I think you should test. Sorry if I am impatient.

Pam, Thanks for the info, I was j/w b/c its been soo long since Ive been pg (4yrs) I have forgotten what to look for. I am on CD 20 sore bb's, low backache, sore throat, no discharge today, but yesterday when I checked my cm and its position, it was HSO and a little bit creamy.. I have been waking up in the mornings not at my usual wake time (earlier than norm) only to have this severe stomachache b/c I am soo hungry it feels like I havent ate in 3 days! My stomach muscles feel rock solid, but at night i feel cramping on one side sometimes both for just a little bit. I am soo tired too yesterday I went to bed at 12:30am and I didnt wake up until after 4pm the next day!! Pam that lotion like discharge, was that around mid cycle but close to ovulation? I had something similar to that but it was white cloudy in color and kinda like a big snot running out of your nose? lol sorry if TMI... I dont know something is different from my cycle last month, I definatly dont want to get my hopes up.. I wish I was on CD 28 so I could test.. I really hope this month I am pg, I dont want to get dissapointed... Anyways keep me in your prayers everybody please? and pray that this month will be it!!! BABY DUST TO ALL OF US WAITING..
