New to The Bump

Just recently started ttc

We have just recently decided that it was time to start trying. Af likes to come at random times which makes tracking down ovulating difficult however I have been experiencing those well known signs and maybe just maybe I am pg. My breasts have gotten a lot bigger, my bra use to fit just right if not a little big and now it is leaving a line across my breast that says "can I have a little more room please!?" and they are also very sore.  I have also been getting very tired in the middle of the day, have been peeing a lot and getting up at about 4am unable to hold it any longer, today was the what really seemed to make it clear though. I went to cook dinner and the chicken had gone bad and I nearly lost it. I requested that we go out to eat because the idea of eating in the house after that smell did not seem possible. We chose Chinese. My food was fine but what my DH ordered made me feel queasy. I am never one to lose my appetite or to turn down new foods.

 I took a HPT yesterday and it was negative but I am sure it is too early. I don't want to get my hopes up but even though AF is usually unpredictable she never comes really early and these symptoms are either way more extreme than pms or they are new.I plan on testing again on Thursday or Friday.

 Either way I look forward to seeing the big pink plus sign!! Wish me luck and send lots of baby dust!!

  • If your cycles are irregular you have no idea when you ovulated.

    Do yourself a favor and learn about the mechanisms of your reproductive system. Start charting your BBT and CM daily (bump glossary to the bottom left)- most ladies use fertility friend- click on the ticker in the signature line and take the tutorials.

    Good luck!

  • If it's too early for a +HPT, it's too early for symptoms.

    I highly recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility and/or fertilityfriend.com

  • I just signed up ladies. Thanks for the advice.
  • And also an FYI, thinking you might be pregnant and describing symptoms is considered fishing for advice from strangers on a message board to tell you that you are indeed pregnant. Fishing is not looked kindly upon a lot of boards, so just keep that in mind when you post.
  • spoiled rotton chicken would make me queasy too.

    And I agree with Dr.L - if you have enough pregnancy hormone to create symptoms, then you have plenty to get a positive HPT
