How long have you been trying for? Went off BC in December and we had the attitude of "if it happens it happens" so we had been trying off and on for the past year
Preg Symptoms: Oh man, when I lay down I get the hiccups really bad! Also a little motion sickness, but overall feeling pretty good and keeping the most positive!
My partner and I began our journey in January after 3 IUI's
We live in Colorado and we love it here!
My estimated due date is 4/17 and I have no symptoms except extra restroom breaks. I did have some sore lady parts for a few days. Thanks to these boards I'm stressing less about disappearing and lack of symptoms!
Estimated due date: April 17th, but that could change after my first dr appointment on the 29th
Had been ttc x6 months, so we're so excited!
TIRED!!! And nipple soreness...left boob aching. Otherwise I feel normal. Grateful for no m/s yet
That's what happened to me! They were estimating I was due March 23rd, but I had gone back in my head and said naaa.. it has to be later due to timing and sure enough I was right!

How long have you been trying for? We started trying in July - first time was a charm!
Preg Symptoms: So far, not much. At first, I had some PMS type cramping (thought for sure my period was en route). Then came the bloating, which has gotten better (I think). My boobs have been sore for the past few days. No nausea, food aversions, or anything like that. And even though I know lack of symptoms doesn't mean anything is wrong, I still can't help but be nervous!

Estimated due date?
April 24th, 2014
How long have you been trying for?
First and only month
Preg Symptoms:
I did cramp a lot during O (I assume it was because it was my first time of BC pill in 12 years), and almost daily I have a pre-nauseous feeling, not enough to call it nausea. And can I add bloated. Not yet 5 weeks and I look pregnant, but just to me. My smart DH denies I look any bigger-in fact, I look downright skinny--riiight.
Estimated due date? 4/8
How long have you been trying for? I went off the pill in January but we never did make much of an effort and then decided mid July that we would avoid until October just to save a bit more and so I could drink at different events we have coming up....haha little did we know something was already forming.
Preg Symptoms: The sore boobs have just hit and raw chicken is making me gag! Other then some waves of nausea I'm really am feeling pretty good.
Where are you from? Missouri
Estimated due date? Mid to late April, will have a better idea in 2 weeks (u/s)
How long have you been trying for? We weren't, but were planning to in the next couple months
Preg Symptoms: heartburn/indigestion, mild nausea at times, gassy/crampy at times, sore breasts, tired!!!
Where are you from? Boston
Estimated due date? April 1
How long have you been trying for? -2 months? We were originally going to try in Aug/September and got lazy back in June/July
Preg Symptoms: So nauseous with tons of food aversions, exhaustion, achy boobs, all around crankiness.
Estimated due date? April 9th
How long have you been trying for? We weren't exactly trying but are very happy to have a little one on the way!
Symptoms? Soooo tired all the time. Body aches. I vomit every morning, once I eat and as long as I maintain regular meals I am good to go the rest of the day. Wish I could figure out a way to stop the vomiting in the morning but nothing has worked yet.
