Symptoms Question (sorry for the long post)

KMHDecemberBride

Good Morning/Afternoon Ladies,

   I am hoping I will be able to get some helpful information. My DH and I have been, "seeing what happens" since last September. This past month I decided to really map out the days and TTC. I have been pretty normal since I stopped using BC but am 1 week and 1 day late this time. Today I noticed some tenderness in my boobs, but only on one side... last night I woke up with horrible HORRIBLE heartburn (which I never get). I took 2 tests last week, but they were all negative. OH and my mood swings have been terrible.

   I am sorry this is so long, but I just wanted to know if anyone else out there had any symptoms like I have listed. I am sure I am being silly, but it seems like you ladies are very helpful and I wanted to get some feedback.

 TIA and congrats and best wishes to all..

What CD are you on? Did you miss your period yet?

Have you considered testing THIS week?? That would be a start... you can call your doc for a definitive blood test if you are a week late.

Yes, I am one week late now based on when I should have started. I have thought about testing this week, but am wanting to wait until later in the week. I think the people at Walgreen's are starting to look at me funny because I am always in there buying HPT's.

I really feel silly asking questions about this because for all I know, I am just off and will start soon, but it helps to get some feedback. Thanks

I would agree, your symptons can also be pre-period symptoms.  Take a test and if it is still negative go to the doctor for a blood test.

Were you charting? If you don't know when you O'd then you might not be late.Your body can O later than normal if you are under stress.

I didn't have any symptoms before getting my BFP. I would suggest POAS again every couple of days until you get a BFP or AF.

I would take a test today if you are late and are generally on time. 

I started off with a E.P.T.  and then did a digital because the + sign was different shades of purple. 

your HCG levels have to be 25 to register on a hpt from what i remember. 

I took sooo many tests I quit taking them & the doctor made me take one the day before I was coming in to check for cysts and it was positive!

If I understand your post correctly, your period is over a week late and you haven't tested since last week?  You best option is to take another HPT.  If you are truly a week late then you should almost certainly get a BFP if you are in fact PG.

When did you ovulate?

MrsSandro

Who cares with the Walgreens cashier thinks.

When I was buying tests I bought them in bulk..like 6 or so at a time.

I knew I was pregnant from 5 days after conception and I was not TTC, but I had these same symptoms and a dr test confirmed it at this shoddy walk in clinic. When I went to my nice John Hopkins clinic I failed the urine test 3 times (not positive) so they sent me for blood work. My HCG was at 25 after my first missed period, and they told me I was going to miscarry or something right? I had blood labs drawn every other day (mon, wed, fri) for the first 8 weeks before the doctors told me I was safe and the pregnancy was going as it should.

Why all the drama then? Most women don't know they are pregnant so early and they said it should have been impossible, but it happened and I am REALLY happy so you know what? Act like you are pregnant in the respect don't drink, eat right, and maybe even pop a few prenatals then go to the doctor and request a blood quantity test (not a blood quality, quantity gives a number quality gives just a yes or no and 25 or less means no technically). Tell them you feel as if the urine test is not right, it is totally possible, it wasn't until about 8 weeks pregnant that I showed it on an at home test. Good luck! I wish the best for you

yup the outside of my right boob hurt, and it still does to this day.  I got my BFP on the 29th of March, and it was pretty dark so i'm assuming icould have taken it earlier and would have gotten a +.  go POAS!

KMHDecemberBride

I believed it to have been the 14th of March. I have not started charting and was going by the ovulation calculator on here (which I know may not be the best)

Thank you again to all for the kind responces.

I agree with this.

Ovulation calculators really aren't accurate. If you aren't pregnant this month, you may want to look into charting on fertilityfriend.com. Good luck.

If you test now you should get a true result.  I didn't get a pregnant result until a few day after my missed period.  I had a few not pregnant before the pregnant one.
