Pregnancy Symptoms? Fertility questions

[mama2simonp]

While my dh and I are not ttc we didnt try to stop it this month. I dont know exactly why. But anyway.. This month I seemed to have fertile mucus for two days and then it stopped for a couple of days then I had it again. Now it's been gone since early this week. LIke monday. Now I can'tconcentare, I'm easily annoyed, having pains in my uterus, and feel sightly sick when I eat. I'mnot due for af untill the 25th. What do you gus think?

Hi Michele!

I truly hope you are pg (if that is indeed what you want!). I'm no expert, so I don't really have an opinion to give you. However, a few weeks ago I totally thought I was pg (AF was late, I had nausea, heartburn, felt really tired and my uterus felt taught--see "ever thought you were pg but weren't" thread), and then AF showed up. Since then, I've had many, many conversations with women who have told me that they 1) had no idea they were pg 2) had symptoms, were convinced they were but weren't 3) knew from the first day that they were and were!

Bottom line: Women's experiences are rich and varied! As for me, we just tried for a second time, and I'm trying (*trying* being the operative word in this sentence) to just be zen about it and wait until AF is really late and then I'll take a test.

In any case, I hope you fall in the #3 category of responses to my unofficial survey!

Good luck!

Yeah. I've had symptoms before without being pregnant. They are always different and always take me by suprise. The only reason I am really thinking it this time is because we had unprotected sex several times right around ovulation time. Both before and while I had fertile mucus both times. Although I think I may have misread the mucus the second time. I guess we will know by the end of the week. Although I wanna go test now. I seem to be somewhat addicted to testing. I usually buy them in bulk. Just happen to be out at the moment. Thanks for your response though. I just wanted to add that last night I dreamt I saw my egg and I looked closely and it had divided all up like i would if it was fertilized and I watched it implant in my uterus. So that was kinda weird. Although I have had several birth dreams where I had the UC birth that I wanted all alone and not been pregnant so we'll see.

That's a really cool dream, and I totally believe in the dream/body connection. I always have are pre-ovulation dreams and they are always the same.

The waiting part is really nerve-wracking and I fully understand you're addiction to tests!

Keep me posted and good luck!

I tested today. apparently days berfore I would have technically missed my period. And the test I bought was "test up to days earlier" but the package said only 63% of pregnant women tested positive on that day. I got BFN. So maybe I am the 37% that it was just too early. I hope so. But I am afraid that I am setting myself up for disapointment.
I didnt really believe in dream/body connection until after ds was born via c/s and I remembered dreaming of him emerging through my belly. I always got to play with his llittle feet.

Good luck for you too :)
