Hi all! I'm 6dpo today and even though I KNOW they'll be BFN, I've already taken 3 tests. Cause I'm insane.

But, as this would be my 4th kiddo, I have to say, I FEEL pregnant. And not cause we're trying so long. We live apart due to work, so we've always been the "if it happens" couple. We've been not "not trying" for 2 years now. But, he got a few days off 4 days before O and we made up for lost time.

The most obvious symptom is my boobs. They have EXPLODED over night. I had some gapping in the cups of my bra yesterday, and today, overflowing. And while they get firmer before AF, never like this, and never so fast.

Anyway, I'm hoping I am. It'd be a great surprise. I'm going to try to hold out until at least 10-12 dpo, cause I don't think I'd make it til missed AF. It is so hard to not pee on that evil little stick!

I did NovaSure Spring 2012. I was in the Army at the time, and was so sick of trying to work around my periods. I wanted a hysterectomy, but because of the down time, the doc suggested NovaSure instead. My husband was already snipped, so I wasn't looking for BC, just to stop bleeding.

After, I had discharge/spotting/bleeding for 2 weeks, periods continued for about 3 months and then stopped for 5-6 months, and now they're more normal than they ever were my whole life.

Anyway, about a week after having it done, found some things out, ended up with a divorce. I've been with my new husband now for 2 years, never used BC but never got pregnant (we weren't ever really trying). The last GYN I saw had a fit when I said I wasn't using BC and insisted I get sterilized right away. I swear she was ready to put me under right then and there.

So, long story short, yes, I'm there with you. There is so little information about this, but it happens. I'm feeling pretty knocked up this cycle, so I'll know in about 10-12 days.

From what I read, the lining can heal (doc said ablations only last 5-10 years, the younger you are, the quicker you heal). I have an appt with a new GYN later this month to see if its possible (if I'm not already). So, I looked some things up and decided on my own that I needed to repair/thicken my lining. I started taking pernatals and was drinking 2-3 cups of red raspberry leaf tea every day. In addition, I cut out caffeine and anything too processed, and started doing 30 min of exercise a day, get the blood flowing, so on. You can't heal if there is no blood flow.

Anyway, I'm due for AF in 9 days. I'm terrible at waiting to test, so I'll probably start in 4 or 5 days. I'm really praying that this is why I feel terrible. My only other explanation is that fertilization happened, but implantation won't. But I've never felt this way and NOT been pregnant (4 pregnancies, 3 live births).

I'll let you know in a week or so!
