OMG. I'm pregnant!
Cycle: 6
EDD: I'm squeezing into January if I go by my last AF date, January 1!
What we did: I've really been doing the same type of things all 6 cycles. I started temping right away, doing OPK's. (and sex, obviously). The only thing that was a little different this month for us (and not necessarily for TTC purposes) was adding more sex, especially around ovulation. My sex drive around that time, for some unknown reason, was higher than it has been in ages. Could be because I knew my husband was going out of town for a few days. Regardless, we had a lot more sex this month. Our timing was -2, -1, O, +2, +3 (and kinda all around that). Don't know at all if that had anything at all to do with it, though. I think I had pretty good timing other months, too. Just not as much of it?
Symptoms: I have NO idea which one of these are related to pregnancy or not. AF tends to bring tiredness and headaches, both of which I've had for several days now. So those two things sent no warning signs to me. My boobs, however, did. My breasts seriously feel like lead weights hanging out of my chest. They feel super full and heavy, and have for 2 days now. They HURT and tingle. I've never EVER had this. I've never had sore boobs in my life- neither AF or ovulation causes anything to ever happen with them. I chalked that off, too... I full realize (especially after being here) that stuff like this can happen, even if it never has before. But it still excited me. Then the reason I really wanted to test was last night- I kept feeling these super weird twinges? Tugs, pulls. Way down low in my abdomen. Another something I've never felt before. It's sort of a cramping feeling, but not like period cramps. I just feel "off", if that makes sense.
How I told DH: Funny story, really. He was actually badgering me to test. He knew I was feeling really "off" and kept telling me to test. I actually tested late last night with a FRER. I couldn't wait after what I had (I thought, at the time) was another symptom. So I bit the bullet last night and took a test. Butttttt, I called it inconclusive. My grandmother is on a vacation to Europe with my grandfather for two weeks. I asked them to call me when they landed so I knew they were safe. They actually arrived like 10 minutes before they were supposed to, and I assumed I had time because I didn't think she'd call immediately (before exiting plane). Took test, I looked after 2 minutes and din't see anything. And my grandma called. She literally stayed on the phone with me for 25 minutes while she was waiting for luggage, telling me stories. "Hey grandma! I have a PREGNANCY TEST waiting to be read!!!" is something I couldn't really say. And I knew that if I glanced at it while on the phone, I would have SOME type of reaction. So I let it sit. By the time we hung up, it was 25 minutes. I looked at the test and there was a line. But it wasn't there after the 2 minutes, and I know 25 is WELL beyond the window. That all said, even though I discounted the test, I've never had a line. Never. No line has ever popped up on my tests- even hours later. Stark white. So the line kinda made me think it was positive, even though I didn't count it. So I waited until this morning (I had no pee left in me) and tested. DH knew I was testing, so there was definitely no exciting story behind it. I peed, we went in together.. and we looked

Mush: I can't thank you guys enough! I felt welcomed here the day my annoying self joined. You guys have helped me learn more about my body and cycles than ANY book could ever <~ I tried this route first, and while it was helpful.. pfffttt... being on here was 1000 times more helpful. It's been a great time passer, and I've made many awesome and wonderful friends. It has always astounded me when people jump in and say how un-supportive and rude people are- I've encountered quite the opposite. The support and 100 responses I received from you all thinking and/or praying for my family when my mom had a breast cancer scare is something I appreciate more than you all know. And while I'm glad to be leaving here (because well, that's the point!) I will surely lurk on you all. And I hope LOTS of you follow me to the January BMB.
My test- I took two, and I'm posting the pretty one. There is no better word!
