Maybe pregnant?

July 14, 2008

We have been ttc for awhile now, and i'm wondering if I may be pregnant. I've got the sore tender breasts, its not unbearable pain, they are just kindof sore. It feels like it would before I start my menstral cycle. I've also felt really exausted. My monthly has not come yet, but i'm irregular all the time never know when its going to come. Just wondering if these signs are enough that I should actually go get a pregnancy test or not. Thanks!

Ashley,

Those symptoms could very possibly be pregnancy symptoms- or they could be plain ol progesterone symptoms... no way to tell unless a HPT is taken.

Do you know for sure when you ovulated last?

Lisa,

I had my last menstral cycle in June. We have been trying for almost 2 years now. I went to the doc and they did a few tests..I go back in August to be put on Clomid if im not pg between now and then,, :) This ttc stuff is hard!

yeah it's definitely not as easy as our healh teachers in school made it sound! Have you been keeping track of ovulation? whether is be with temping, OPKs, Cm? WHen was your last cycle? I kno wyou said in June- but the beginning? middle? end? depending on when that was may help determine when you ovulated (if you have not been using the above methods) I know you said you are irregular- but it could give some sort of guide as to when it would be beneficial to test.

It was the middle of June. No, i've been looking into getting some OPK's, will probably go tomorrow to get a hpt and an opk. Definitely not as easy as they tried saying it was! I was hoping to try and succeed! Guess its not going to happen that way for me. Everyone keeps saying to just stop trying and it will happen and not to worry about it. Easier said than done though!

Yes it is a lot easier said than done.. I know.. I've been there... it's hard not wanting to smack them and tell them that it's not that easy to NOT try...Me and my hubby had a m/c last June (2007) and we tried again shortly after that- and we finally got pregnant this past April! So far so good here....

You may be okay to take a HPT and have it be accurate-or maybe wait til the middle of JUly to test (around the same time this month that you had your period in June) IF you don't get a BFP don't get discouraged.. you WILL get one soon!

I reccommend using OPKs- they are actually what helped me get treatment (clomid) after 4 or 5 months of using them 2x day and instead of 1 week I was using them for 2 weeks the doctor had me come in because i was never detecting a surge. So I was put on Clomid and on my 3rd round it worked! Keep your head up... and you've always got support from us on FT!

Aw, i'm sorry you had a mc..my best friend went through that. Congrats on the pregnancy though! Its nice to hear that clomid DOES work. I'll buy 2 hpts because I cant buy one and not take it that day, I get too anxious! :) I'll take one tomorrow and wait to take the next one later on in the month. Thanks for your help!
