Im new and anxious!

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi everyone! I have been reading a few posts and I love how all of you ladies are so friendly and supportive.  I?m excited to be a part of your group.  On the other hand I feel like I?m going crazy. This is my first month TTC and I am not sure what I?m looking for or supposed to expect. But waiting is driving me crazy.  I broke down and took a test yesterday but I was still 5 days from my period so it was a negative.  I don?t really feel that different... i feel a little irritable (but that could just be the anxiety), Tmi but I have been constipated, and crampy which is not like me to have cramping this far from my period, my cervix was a little tender.  Besides those little things I really have not felt any different. Am I supposed to? Should I take the Pregnancy tests answer and believe it? or should I have hope. I?m just worried about being disappointed and sad. Ugh this is not easy. What are or were your experiences with early pregnancy before you got you BFP? 

Also on a positive note if I am pregnant I will get to tell his parents in person when we go back to Minnesota to visit in august!!

    The pee stick does not lie, so at the present moment you are not pregnant, but you said yourself you tested 5 days before your expected period, which is too early.  I would wait until you are late, then test once a week until you get your period or you reach 60 days.  Any symptoms you have are what we call phantom symptoms.  They are just your head messing with you. 

    Good luck and have fun in MN!

    This is my 2nd month TTC. I was right there with you with anxiety about it. I thought I had every symptom of being pregnant, but it was just PMS. I'm just trying not to stress about it because I know it will happen when it's supposed to happen. Hang in there!!! I've spoken to a few friends who said that had no symptoms until their missed period and some who had every symptom.

    Try to relax and take a test when your period is due. If you want to know if/when you ovulate, try charting. Click on my fertilityfriend.com ticker. Good luck!

    Thank you for the warm welcome. I agree phontom syptoms are horrible. As much as I want to be pregnant I think im making this stuff up in my head. I am really crampy but I think it is just abnormally early AF cramps. Sometimes the body does weird things.  But like the welcome post says there is always hope till you see AF! fingers crossed!
