Since then I have been rushed to the hospital 3 times for excessive bleeding (once via ambulance cause I passed out)
I have had 2 emergency D&C's, 2 Folley Ballooons, 3 blood transfusions of 2 bags each, & a Hysteroscopey. (Not to be confused with a "HysterECTAMY")

Hi everyone!
Wow, this is my 3rd thread with you all!
I am 22, DH is 23, we've been married 3 years and 4 months! Went on the pill about 6 months before I got married and just went off shortly after Christmas. Was careful the first 2 months then started to track my timing in March. No luck yet, I believe I am 9 DPO, my breasts are very sore but AF is also expected Saturday. We barely, just barely (if not missed), made the window this month as he was out of town. I am starting to feel the usual pulling/cramping I feel 2-3 days before AF arrives, so I've determined I'm out this month, for sure.
I live in Seattle with 2 dogs, work at Microsoft, would much rather be a stay at home mom and pup mom! Someday, and soon, I'm sure! DH is a Software Engineer.
Hoping for so many this thread! I can't believe the stories I've seen on this site.
Jenn, I can't BELIEEEEEEEEEVE this!! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you. This put a big smile on my face as I read this today. and please keep us updated. Strange AF kept coming, but I guess it's not that uncommon. Just odd, I haven't really heard of that with somebody I "know" before. I texted everyone I know
Hoping the evil witch stays away, but I'm 100% certain she's coming on Saturday. Hoping to every other day this entire cycle. TMI: Somebody on the previous thread mentioned lots of "DH liquid" and couldn't stay still after BD'ing. I can NEVER stay still afterwards...there's so much it goes everywhere if I don't get up and immediately clean up. I always thought it just comes right back out, but could that mean it's just abnormally a lot? He's the only person I've ever been with, so I don't know these things lol. Maybe that's good?
Anyone ever have regular AF cramps before experiencing a BFP? I know 'it's not over till the witch shows' but it's hard when everything feels the same, except the sore breasts.

Hello,
I'm Tricia and I'm 28, DH is 27. We've been married for 2+1/2 years and recently bought our first home in December. I'm a Speech Pathologist and DH is an Air Traffic control specialist.
I have multiple sclerosis so I've been taking medications for that for the past 10 years. While on the meds pregnancy is a NO-NO since it could damage or abort the fetus. We decided this was the year we'd TTC so I needed to go off the meds for 4-5 months minimum before we try. DH and I made the desicion to go off meds Feb 15 2012. So I'm a few months off and my target date is August to finally start TTC! We are so anxious and excited. I'm charting my BBT and CM but haven't done any other things since we don't know if we will have any issues with fertility yet. God I hope not! I'm scared to get sick before we even get a chance to try since I'm not taking any medicine right now. Please wish us good luck and baby dust that when we finally do the happy dance we will get prego right away---I can't be off this medicine forever!

Hi. My name is Jil. I'm 25. Dear fianc�© is 28. We've been trying since November 2011. Df has a son from a previous relationship (8). In january I found out I was pregnant just hours after I started to miscarry. I don't temp or use opks. I'm gonna start temping next cycle.
My first bfp was after df got a shot that increases sperm count. I know if he got this shot again we'd be successful. But df wants to stay natural.
That being said I think I'm pregnant this cycle. I don't have any symptoms other than sore boobs but I'm positive. I had a test while in hospital at 6dpo. Negative but it was too soon. I'm going to hold off and wait for AF before I test. Af is either due tomorrow or the 16th. We'll see. If I conceived this cycle it would have been in a hospital bathroom. What a great story that is.
Good luck to everyone!!!

Trisha - I hope you don't have any symptoms from lack of medication and you and DH are able to get pg quickly.
AFM - So this morning around 10:30 I started getting AF type cramps. Like the ones that make your abdomen feel heavy and bloated. The all of a sudden, about 30 mins later they were gone. Have not had any cramps since then. Not sure what this means because I still feel my body is adjustiing since the m/c, but I am 7-8 dpo so maybe it was implantation cramping??? Hopefully I'm not just getting my hopes up for nothing.

hi everyone
Im Katie 30, DH is almost 32!
trying for about 16 months now which for me is probably about 20 cycles! Preg in Oct 2011 but turned out to be ectopic and was removed in emergency surgery along with my left fallopian tube. Was supposed to have an appointment with fertility specialist Noc 2011 but cancelled it as i was preg!
Nothing since so new appointment 24th May, two weeks today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoping its going to be as simple as DH works away so they will do artifical insemination and bob your uncle a baby in the belly!!
think about 4 dpo right now but DH left for work about 5 days before O so not holding out any hope for this cycle.
Jen, excellent news!! it is the most bizarreee thing!!! but i bet the best surprise EVER!!!
cant type much more, away for work so need to get out to sort out the boys as they cant be trusted on their own!!

Gummy and Armywife - if i have learnt anything over my journey, its that there is little difference between PMS and preg symptoms!!! when i was preg, i didnt even realise having had what i thought was my period, i tested on a random whim after someone commented that i was glowing!! otherwise i had No symptoms what so ever!
isnt life a bitch! why cant it be easy. this symptom means pms, this symptom means preg! see, its not hard!
