Anybody hoping to be here? UPDATE tentatively joining

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
But you haven't tested yet?
I am on day 32 of this cycle... normally my cycles aren't longer than that... and I am feeling what could either be mild PMS or pregnancy symptoms (they are pretty much the same for me). The reason I think it might be pregnancy (besides the obvious ) is that my swollen boobs/tiredness/sensitivity are so much milder than my normal PMS and that's exactly what happened last time I was pregnant.
I feel so silly writing this post I told myself that if I'm pregnant I would wait for a couple months to join a DDC, but I don't seem to be listening to myself very closely Of course, now that I posted AF will probably show up immediately
Anyway, anyone else in the same boat?

I hope you get your wish!
I had AF symptoms too, except mine were more exaggerated than with AF.

I hope you join us! I still feel like I have PMS or it's pretty small stuff: sore boobs, cramping...The only thing that makes me *feel* pregnant is the constant heartburn. I found out 12 DPO, and I usually have a 32 day cycle, too.

Maybe you should test?

I'm hoping to be here too. I've had a negative test, but I'm having a lot of fatigue and some morning sickness. I've had a negative test when I was pregnant in the past, so I'm still holding out hope...

I hope you guys make it here!

Before my BFP I had sore BBs which made me think I was for sure going to get AF, but obviously it never showed!

Good luck!!!!!

I hope you both are here too! You're amazing for not testing yet ursus! I don't know how you can wait so long...I was supposed to be part of the no stressor no tester group and I tested at day 23!

i have irregular cycles so i'm not sure if i'm technically late for my period or not. i used to chart really seriously but now we've just been using condoms and there's only a couple times a month we don't and they're obvious. dh, though i love him, kinda goofed.

i haven't gotten a positive test with other pregnancies before day 31 or 32 so i'm just 28 today so i'm testing but getting negatives now, which i expected. why am i torturing myself?

the only pms symptoms i get are sore nipples a week before my period, and severe bitchiness just a couple days before. but i've got all that going on and then some. currently my back is so achey, if i didn't think it was b/c of pregnancy i'd take an advil. i've posted all my myriad of symptoms on the symptoms thread. i'm pretty sure i belong here.

now, whether i want to be or not is another question entirely...and i haven't totally worked that out yet! i'll be so excited on one hand, and totally feel crazy and irresponsible on the other. luckily, i have a great husband.

That is so usually me! The main reason I haven't tested yet this time is that we have very little cash at the moment and I didn't want to waste it on pregnancy tests before it was even apparent that I might be pregnant. No dollar stores here...
I have to say though, I am intrigued by the idea of just NOT testing, just letting my body's signs tell me gradually like our grandmothers did... Not that that's going to happen I will probably test today or tomorrow. Hah, I almost can't believe I'm going to poas again. Nervous! What if it's negative!
What's really going to be annoying is if it's negative and AF still doesn't show up, because my friend is getting married on Saturday and there's going to be a lot of alcohol flowing, and a lot of people asking why I'm not drinking anything

So it looks like I am here. Poas this morning and there was definitely a line almost immediately, though it was so faint that DP almost couldn't see it. I'm enough of a poas veteran to be pretty sure it's not an evap line plus this test is not the most sensitive so I'll probably just test again in a couple days.
I'm feeling so smug though, I was sure I'm pregnant based on some very specific signs and I was right Funny I needed that second line to believe it though...
Anyway I'm hoping to really be here as I had a miscarriage (though I think it might have been a blighted ovum) in May at 7 weeks and that just makes me a little paranoid. Of course, it seems that you can never tell why/when a bean sticks.
