Symptoms question..?

kamichaud11692 · October 2016

Hi there! My husband and I just decided to start trying, and I am a little confused by my possible symptoms. My periods are very irregular, for example my most recent periods were very light on 6/23 to 6/25, then normal flow from 7/14 to 7/21, then 8/21 to 8/26. Nothing since then. My period tracker app said I should have expected my next one around 9/25, but with the irregularity it is basically impossible to tell for sure.

We had unprotected sex on 9/25, 9/27, 9/29, 10/2 and 10/3. I noticed my breasts hurt on 10/2 and they haven't stopped since. I've been uncharacteristically moody, got nauseous a couple times but only for a couple minutes at a time, and I have this weird feeling in my tum. Not really like period cramps, I'm not sure how to describe it. Almost like I'm flexing my lower abs all the time, but I'm not.

My question is, for you ladies who experienced these symptoms, how long after they started did you get your BFP?

Since I really have no clue when my 1st day of my missed period would have been, I am going crazy. I've taken 3 tests, and all were negative so far. I'm sure I've probably jumped the gun with the tests, but I'm very impatient! I have 1 left before I have to buy more and I want this one to count!

QFP

It is against terms of use to ask in ANY WAY, even a round about way, if you are pregnant. This includes what you typed up.

You should read the newbie guide to start off as well as LURKING.

Try reading/posting in the TWW and WTO.

Also why did it seem like a good idea to come onto the TRYING TO GET PREGNANT board to ask how long it was before any of these wonderful women got the BFP? If we had one we would not be on this board. Also also: if a test is reading negative why would we tell you anything different?

*edit to add last paragraph.

kamichaud11692 · October 2016

osucma, there is no need to be rude. I am new to this site, and trying for the first time. I posted on this board because I am trying to get pregnant, I don't know for sure that I am.

I understand what you are saying about women on this board not having a positive test yet, but thought maybe women trying for a second or third time might be on here, am I wrong?

I don't know what TWW or WTO means.

And I did not ask in any way if I was pregnant or not, I asked what other people have experienced.

I am sorry you must be experiencing something negative in your life that makes you feel the need to be rude to people. Please be considerate of others.

Also, my tests are saying negative, but it is possible it is too early for a positive? I never asked for people to tell me differently, I simply asked for people's experiences.

Ditto to everything @osucma said. This is a board of women TRYING to get pregnant... you have basically barged into the living room of a community asking when we got a BFP, which clearly we don't have or we wouldn't be here.

And on top of that, why would you trust a bunch of internet strangers to tell you that you might be pregnant when a test is telling you you're not? Trust the test, and if AF doesn't show, you should consult with your doctor, not us.

And OP, if you don't know what TWW or WTO means, you need to lurk more and read the newbie guide. This is one of the most supportive communities I have ever been lucky enough to be a part of, but if you take ZERO time to learn about how we work, then why would you expect us to be supportive and answer your drive by questions?

ETA: last paragraph

kamichaud11692 · October 2016

Again, not asking if I am pregnant, simply asking for experiences.
I thought maybe there may be women trying to conceive for a second or third time here.

thatcma · October 2016

I was not trying to be rude but you just waltzed into an established community of women asking something that you really shouldn't be asking in the first place. If had you bothered to lurk around, or read the newbie guide or anything on this board for that matter you would have realized that questions like this do not go over well on this community.

WTO is waiting to ovulate TWW is two week wait they are both daily threads here

OP @osucma is not being rude, you are! You barged into this established community without reading any of the posts pinned at the top of the board. If you had, you would have know what TWW and WTO stand for. You would also know that you are not allowed to ask (in any way, shape, or form) if you are pregnant. And yes, you did ask in a very roundabout way if you are KU. So please, read the newbie guide and lurk, A LOT before posting again. There are several of us that are having a very rough TTC day and seeing someone trying to wave around their possible BFP is not what we need.

This is an amazing community full of wonderful and supportive women. However, in order to get support, you need to give it. And no, we are not being rude. We are being snarky because we are sick of people coming on to these boards without reading the pinned posts and breaking the rules without any intent of participating on a daily basis!

So maybe you need to learn to be more considerate of others....

@kamichaud11692 First of all, @osucma wasn't rude. Second of all, ditto to everything she said. Third of all, want to know what IS rude?? Coming into an established community with a complete disregard of our culture and not even taking the time to read the rules. It's also selfish, in case you're wondering. These ladies are supportive and helpful, but you can't just barge in expect us to be all sunshine and rainbows and omg you're totes KU. Besides being against TOU, my ute goggles are broken so I wouldn't be any help anyway.

LURK MOAR!!!

kamichaud11692 · October 2016

I apologize if I offended anyone, that was not my intention.

Maybe instead of being bashed by multiple people, I could have simply been directed to the correct place without being made to feel guilty for asking a simply question.

I directed you to the correct place in my first post. Read the newbie guide that is pinned at the top, read every thread in this board. lurk around.

lulu1180 · October 2016

Also, I would suggest reading a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility (as suggested in the newbie guide that you obviously didn't read) because if you did, you would know that you would predict when AF will come next by temping to confirm ovulation.

Again, if you plan on sticking around (and if you do, you will find out what an amazing community this is) lurk a lot more before posting in one of the daily threads

QFP
OP: Read the newbie guide and lurk more. She wasn't being rude, you were basically barging in here, creating your own thread and demanding everyone's attention without bothering to take the time and learn how we do things around here. True, some ladies are TFAS, but you're still asking in a roundabout way if we think you may be pregrant, based on your symptoms, even though three tests said you were not pregnant at this time. A. That's against TOU. B. No one on the internet can see inside your uterus. C. Lurk more, read all the things; you will learn a lot! and jump into the daily TWW/WTO threads when you are ready.

Oh, and you might want to apologize to @osucma for jumping down her throat when she was basically telling you common sense, that internet strangers can't tell you if you are pregnant any better than an actual hpt. Test again in a few days. If you get a bfp, congrats! You can move onto your bmb. If not, Welcome! There is a wealth of ttc knowledge and experience here at your fingertips, but you have to join in the community and be an active participant to really reap the benefits. ;)

Look up honey, they did direct you to the right place and give you good advice. If you got a BFN you are not pregnant at this time. If you want help for future cycles, lurk, read, learn and join us in TWW and WTO daily threads.

@runrestrepeat @lulu1180 @linzarunz @businesswife thank you for the support ladies

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

OP, I think the bigger issue was that instead of owning your mistake, apologizing, and then reading the suggested material, you jumped down @osucma's throat and called her rude and inconsiderate. Many of us post daily and get to know/support each other, and don't take kindly to someone barging in and attacking one of our own. But, like everyone else has said, lurk, read, and get to know this community - it is pretty amazing!

wabash15 · October 2016

OP, when you join the bump there is a mandatory 3 day waiting period before you can post. The point of this is so that you have time to learn the culture of the boards your wanting to post on. @osucma was simply pointing out your major gaf, and there was no need to be rude to her. Did you out and out ask if you were KTFU, no but in a very round about way you were asking if anyone has had your symptoms and gotten a BFP. Your signs could be PMS or something else. we have a mantra around here... "your regular till your not" this applies to the length of your cycle but also to the symptoms you experience during a cycle. 3 BFN's mean your not pregnant at this time. if AF does not show up keep testing and if you get to 60 days call your doc. No need to up date us if you get a BFP. If you want to join in this is an amazingly supportive board with wonderful ladies, but please remember you have to give support to get support.

Basherbaby · October 2016

I don't even know what to say. OP, you are being rude to people who I consider to be friends. They are full of so much support and knowledge and you would have known that if you would have lurked a little. I'm having a super hard TTC day and your post didn't help. Maybe if you tracked your cycles, spoke to you doctor about your janky cycles and read a few books to learn about your body more you wouldn't feel the need to ask internet strangers if your eggo is preggo. A sincere apology would gain you respect around here. This community is the place to be if you're having a tough time but please lurk a little.

You were directed to the correct place. Then you called her rude. Now it's flame on because you messed with a friend. We have each others backs around here.

ETA: "I apologize if I offended anyone" and then going on to dig some more, is not a proper apology.

But

@Kiki75 That ute goggles gif is priceless!

On a side note, definitely lurked 1st Tri and saw OP posted the EXACT same question there, with similar results... how do people not spend the 3 day wait time lurking as much as possible?

lulu1180 · October 2016

I saw that too @RunRestRepeat. I thought asking if you're KU is against the TOU regardless of the board but maybe I'm wrong...?

tripledaggerWed95976 · October 2016

Dunno about you guys but this post gives me a weird feeling in my tum

RunRestRepeat · October 2016

@lulu1180 I've only ever lurked in other boards, but I assumed that was the case!

lund · October 2016

The next time someone does this I vote we all just post "yes, you're absolutely KU" and then ghost.
