Pregnant? Maybe? No? I dunno!

[Yarrawin]

Hey everyone,

I haven't been in TTC before - I've actually been hanging out in the pre-ttc thread since the beginning of the year.

I had a mc back in September and since then DH and I haven't been trying (though I want to - so does he, but we're trying to be sensible about various things). That said, this month we've had a few... erm... moments of carelessness, including what I'm pretty sure was in the few days before ovulation.

Anyway... fast forward from Feb 14th and af is due this week. I normally get sore nipples around ov for a few days but then it goes away again. BUT... in the last few days or so they have been getting more and more tender and I've noticed for the past week they are really dark in colour - almost purplely! I'm not sure about changes in the areola... I find it really hard to to tell, and I struggled with seeing those changes when I was pg back in Sept. But the darker nips are absolutely undeniable, and they suddenly seem a lot bigger too! Its not specific to any time of day, they're like that ALL the time.

Also, I had a sharpish pain to the right of my belly button last week - within a day of when my calendar said implantation would occur. I felt implantation last time and that was when I first had a sneaking suspicion I was pg... just like this time. I've had waves of nausea for about the last week - starting from last Tuesday and I was nauseous really early last time too... like mega early. The doctor was amazed I'd had any symptoms at all. Sometimes the nausea is in the morning, quite often I get it at night which is when I was at my worst last time. My tastes seem different - I had a pepsi last night (am a big cola drinker) and hated it, had a coffee after lunch today to wake me up a bit and I spent the next three hours feeling sick as hell and actually thinking I was going to have to run out. I struggled to even get it down, though sometimes I just decide I don't like coffee and it makes me sick (though thats usually the other end). I've been a bit constipated and had more cm than I would expect after ov too.

What do you all think girls? I'm trying to hang out for thurs before I test, but... you know... I really want to be and I'm not sure if half of this is in my head! Kind of freaking out - I dont really want to face up to the disappointment if I'm not pg, but at the same time it's not like we're actually trying. Last time I just seemed to instinctively know I was pg... this time I'm not sure because I am very aware that my desperation to be pregnant may very well cause me to subconciously create instincts and thoughts that just aren't right.

Anyway, feeling sick (there goes the night time nausea!) so off to bed...

Hope you are !!! And hope your happy !!!! The nipple thing is oh so pregnant !!! Ihope I will be again soon too !

[Miss H]

I say do a test. If you are, you can be oh so happy and if you are not, you can stop your mind from going nuts on you. Do the test!!!! Let us know. I'm hoping for you.

Good luck can't wait to hear

[scarypinkfairy]

i read somewhere that some tests are so sensitive now they can basically pick up a pregnancy quite soon after implantation, so buy a good test (i recommend first response early detection) and good luck, i am curious what the outcome will be

[Yarrawin]

Thanks everyone. I'm going to go and buy a test on my way home this evening. I'm trying not to hold my breath about it too much.... I'm almost completely convinced that it'll be BFN simply because I want it to be a BFP sooooo much.

I feel like crap this morning. I was up in the middle of the night feeling really nauseous and absolutely starving, and I woke up feeling sick again this morning. DH had to practically drag me out of bed... he had gotten up, had a shower and was almost ready for work before I even realised he had gone, but apparently I had a whole conversation with him. So tired (but I have started uni AND a new job last week, and I haven't been a full time uni student in 9 years so that might have something to do with it lol).

Okay... well I'll keep you all updated x

Thanks I'm not too upset. I didn't break down in tears like I thought I would... it was more like, Oh, well... okay. Fair enough. And then I just got on with my afternoon.
