So confused..

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

So I have been on this site for a while and i never really talked to anyone. I'm having a rough time deciding what to do.

I have been TTC for about two years now. I go on and off about actually trying, but i never prevent it from happening.

Although I have doubts, I'm wondering if this may be my time. I usually think i am pregnant, but this time is slightly different.

I am a little sensitive to foods that i wasn't before. Like my all time favorite chicken wings. Now i have to get boneless cause the smell and site of the

bone makes me queasy. And i took a sip of milk and almost couldn't keep it down. I have other small symptoms but I've experienced them before.

I am 15 days late today, and i don't know if I should just let it go and move on, or if I should take another test. Please help, I need someone

I don't know to tell me if I am crazy or not.

Have you taken a test? Take a test. And unless you are temping and know when you ovulated, you probably aren't "late".

How do you know you're late? Are you temping to confirm ovulation?

Symptoms mean nothing without a positive pregnancy test.

ramaholic · November 2014

Take a pregnancy test.

If positive: go to the First Trimester or July Birth Month Club boards and let them know.

If negative: read our Newbie Blog and consider joining FertilityFriend. Both have great resources to learning what your body is doing in a cycle and how to give yourself the best chance at conceiving each cycle.

To the bolded: I call bullshit.

Foods with bones make me sick and milk makes me gag. I'm not pregnant, not even the slightest chance.

You said you need help. What exactly do you need help with?

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

The first day of my last period was September 26. I took a test five days before i was supposed to start. (I had someone wanting me to take it) I knew that even if I was pregnant at that time that it would be negative. So I talked to a friend and she said to wait two weeks after my missed period. My cycles are 30 days long. I was supposed to get my period on the 26th of October, and nothing yet. I have a tracker, that's why i'm concerned cause I know everything except my basal body temperature.

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

Oh I ovulated on October 12, btw.

Okay, so here is what you do:

Go about today like normal.
Wake up tomorrow.
Take a pregnancy test with your first morning urine.
If positive, go to the First Tri board or the July Birth month club board. If negative, read the Newbie Blog and consider signing up for FertilityFriend to chart your BBT.

How do you know when you ovulated without tracking your temperature? Did you get an ultrasound?

Nikolie93 · November 2014

Is there a reason why you haven't taken another test by now?

Why on earth wouldn't you just take a test? You don't need to wait two weeks after missing a period. No one here can tell you whether or not you're pregnant.

Trackers are crap. This is why temping would be helpful, cycle length can change at anytime. Since you don't know when you ovulated you don't know when to expect your period.

I suggest charting your BBT on FF so you KNOW where you are in your cycles.

Mysh · November 2014

OMG that is totally a pregnancy symptom! Just go ask First Tri, they will confirm it for you! Congratulations! SQUEEEEE!

And if this in fact turns out to be true once you test again you will already be there and have no need to return here, win win dontcha think?!?

KingLED · November 2014

Sometimes I like milk. Last night I tried to drink some with my meds and I threw up. Am I pregnant?

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

Well that's what I did. I don't know where to get those thermometers. I'm not a little kid either, just so y'all know. I was just wondering maybe how other peoples experiences went. I didn't want to take a test because I didn't want to see another negative sign. Also, i wanted to be positive that Flo was late. 15 days is a long time. I just noticed a few things that were different and wanted to get someone's intake on it.

You can get them at any pharmacy.

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

Sorry? It's a symptom to me, considering I drink it everyday. I have a friend who thinks i was drinking it too much.

Our "intake" on it is that we have no fucking idea what is going on with you. The only options you have are to take a test and see a negative OR POSITIVE -or- wait until you start bleeding.

We're not going to speculate whether or not you are pregnant. We don't do that.

You can get one at Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, and Amazon to name a few. I believe they are in the family planing section at most places.

Also other peoples experiences won't make you any more or less pregnant.

KaylaMarie402 · November 2014

All I know is that doesn't necessarily matter. I know people who got pregnant days before their periods. I could have ovulated any time, still could have gotten pregnant. It was just a question more about the symptoms maybe. Who knows if I am pregnant. I don't even believe I am pregnant. Too many negatives to believe I can even get pregnant. Tired of getting my hopes up.

Cythe · November 2014

Hi OP. Just like everyone else has said, charting will help you to be not so confused. Just to put this differently, if you WERE "15 days late" you would probably be ~ 25 days past ovulation which would give you a 99% accurate HPT. Even at 18 DPO, you would have a 99% accurate HPT.

I am sorry for your struggles, but if you're not getting a positive test then you're not pregnant. I assume you have taken one based on your use of "another test" in your OP.

Read the blog, learn how to temp and its probably time to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist.

So what were you looking for with this post?

It will probably just be easier if you tell us what you want to hear at this point.

That's not how this works. They get pregnant 10-15 days before their periods. Period.

What? Everyone who gets pregnant 'gets' that way around 8-14 days before their period would have come. Then comes implantation. There is a cool YouTube video about it somewhere.

I think there is an app you can download that tells you. You pee on the screen and the results are there as soon as the phone dries out....

In all seriousness please just take a test. I was TTC for a long while the last time I was TTC after dd. I didn't get pregnant and every bfn had me in tears. This time I am embracing temping. I suggest you do the same. Start relying on facts not suppositions and false hopes.

The newbie post is also a good and highly recommended read.

No you don't.

What CLE said. You actually know people who weren't tracking BBT and ovulated earlier or later than they thought (probably earlier, since it does take 7-10 days for implantation and a little while longer for HCG to show up in your blood or urine).

Anyway, I'm going to echo PP who suggested that you meet with a reproductive endocrinologist. If you've been having unprotected sex regularly for two years with no BFP, it's time to make sure nothing is wrong.

QFP.

I don't know if you are "crazy".
I also don't know if you are pregnant.
Hold your pee for three hours, purchase an HPT (pink dye) & take a pregnancy test.

Symptoms mean jack-diddly-squat. The only thing that makes a difference is a positive pee stick.

We don't know who you're talking/replying to if you don't use the quote button - try it, like I did here, so we know to whom your comment is directed.

I don't understand how seeing a negative test is any worse than sitting there wondering for 15 days if you might or might not be pregnant. Suck it up and test if you really want to know, seems like wondering about your symptoms is driving you crazy and now asking about it is driving US crazy, you'd be better off just testing FFS!

I guess I am with OP and I am so confused about this thread as well! :-O

nandaboob06 · November 2014

One night Mr Nanda, a few friends and myself went out for drinks. In nanda-land drinking is a quick race and not a paced marathon. After some shots of tequila (te-kill-ya) it was time to say goodbye.

With Mr Nanda at the helm, we started our journey home. I had to pee and couldn't hold it so we pulled over on the side of the road. Klassy I know. By this time my bra was off and I had a sweatshirt on. My phone was in the pocket of said sweatshirt. I hopped out of the truck, pulled my pants down, and began to take the most epic pee.

As I was pulling my pants back up I noticed something dark and rectangular on the ground. Damnit, I peed on my phone. Wayyyy too drunk to care.

A few hours later I wake up naked, cold, and sore on my couch. Searching for my phone to call dh to see wtf happened last night I find it. Dead. In my purse. What do I do? Plug it in like any other smart person would do.

I showered, got dressed, took some tylenol and went to go make that call. Why is it is it still dead? Hmm better take it into the Verizon store.

I left my phone and info with the clerk with instructions to come back in an hour. I stopped by Mr Nanda's job and he filled me in on my shenanigans. We laughed and then it was time to go back to the store.

Walking in the lovely gentleman told me that he got my phone working and also had a really personal question. He asked how long we had been trying for a baby. I'm thinking wtf? Do I know this dude? How did he know? Duh, Nanda. I had just downloaded the FF app on my phone and it was on my home screen. He said he and his wife are ttgp and wanted to wish us luck. That was kind of sweet in my hungover opinion.

He also said I should be more careful when I have my phone around water. As I was walkng out I informed him that he should wash his hands because that sure wasnt water he was touching.
