2nd month with horrible, clotty periods & what I consider very faint bfp's, so I'm starting to wonder if maybe they were chemical pregnancies. Yes, I am trying to convince myself I'm not as crazy as I really am, but it would explain the unusual symptoms I don't normally have. Grasping at straws here...don't want to face that something else could be wrong with me instead. Something is definitely not normal/right. Lucky me - it's time for my yearly.

Phat-You are 100% correct they will not do the HSG while pregnant but it is a sure fire way of finding out reasons for infertility and to see status of tubal litigation. I believe there has only been 3-4 cases where the patient was actually pregnant during the procedure. One i know of imposed no complications and went a full 39 wk pregnancy but every procedure imposes risks. Studies havent proved the HSG to be the cause of any mcs tubal pregnancies or complications with pregnancies but there also is not many cases that the patient turned out to be pregnant during the procedure.
Also do you have the option for a blood test to confirm weather it was a chemical pregnancy? was your period late or were you just getting the faint positives i saw?

Mommantrainging- Have you posted pictures of your tests! Keeping my fingers crossed that you get a bfp this month! Keep testing and see if the test line gets any darker

Shay - I have the means but not the time. Any time I make a docs appt I end up having to cancel it because one or more of my kids gets sick, and I work full time during regular docs office hours. Also, I'm not sure if I want confirmation that I'm a complete idiot for thinking I was pregnant. If I had even a glimmer of a faint positive or FRER I would feel differently I think. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

My period wasn't late. I had the faint positives, and then I had that Clear blue that seemed positive, and the other Clearblues that weren't including 4 digits. It almost looked like something tried to happen but just didn't make it, you know? I have another Clear blue I'm tempted to take for comparison once my period stops just to see if I get the same look to it when I know I'm not pregnant as a reference.

I had my IUD remmoved July 17th, according to OPK I o'd the 19/20 I even followed up to make sure the test were - after the 21st. I have had all the pregnancy sympotoms for about 5 days. for the past few days I've had some cramping so I followed up with an hpt. All were slightly positive but not convincing, so I decided to use an OPK and it was positive...have any of you ladies ever seen or heard of this type of situation?

The past day and a half I've been running to the bathroom cause I've been on the verge of peeing my pants...weird !

Well I'm just gonna scroll back and start from the beginning lol:
@Shell-glad you got the prenatals :) Good thinking girl!

@Hi kdbell!! You're definitely not alone! Almost all of us on here feel like we're a few nuts short of a winter supply (ie phatgurl stashing her hpts like a crazy squirrel) Dont give up though sweetie. It may just be too soon to test. When are you due for AF?

@Aprincessa- LONG TIME, NO TALK! Hi girlie! So the doctor could tell but wouldnt tell you? I'm praying and God's with you honeybunches!

@Shay- Do you love using the medical terms infront of your family to see the awkward confused looks on their faces. LOL My sister and I do that sometimes. She's an RN and I'm an LMT. lol. So cute that you two were highschool sweethearts. I met dh when I was 19. We dated 2 yrs, got engaged for another 2 yrs and we've been married for 2yrs....total of 6 years together . People cant say we're rushing it wanting kids. The babymaking process has improved a lot since our first time. We were nervous. In fact, we didnt have sex until the 3rd day we were married! Hubby didnt want me to have wait so many years to loose my virginity in a St Louis hotel room so we waited til the next night when we were in Hawaii. But we got lost from the airport to the hotel. Turned out I was looking at the wrong airport on the map *Family Guy's Weather man- "I'M AT THE WRONG AIRPORT!!" * I was sick cause I was so tired so we waiting til the next day after a good night's rest. My cousin is a christian music artist, she's filming a documentary on her mission to sing with TobyMac .

@mommantraining-HELLO! Gotta love the constant bathroom checks...everyone thought I had explosive diarrhea! Any symptoms?

@phatgurl-I agree, dont bother with an appointment just yet. It was super embarrasing when I went in!!!

@Vandernoordh- My friend had her IUD out recently and her hormones were every which way but up! She thought she was pregnant but wasnt. Praying you did ovulate and you have a healthy bean attached.

PHewww...that was alot of typing!

Aww thanks so much. I am due for AF tomorrow!!!

waiting - you'll never believe it, but my squirrel hole is completely empty of old tests. That's pretty amazing considering I took over a hundred tests in 2 weeks! I only have1 digi, 1 Answer & 1 CB+ now still in their wrappers not peed on!

My period is really awful. I have never had bad periods. This sucks! I just can't face the "knowing" look at the ob. The one that says, "Oh, it's just the crazy lady again." At least they do listen & humor me. My favorite is trying to explain why I think/thought I was pregnant despite so many indications that I'm not/wasn't. It always sounds better in my head than it does when I'm saying it to the doc.

After my third c-section they recommended I have my tubes tied due to "possible complications" with excess scar tissue during a fourth surgery on my uterus. I asked my maternal fetal doc (aka advanced maternal age doc whose sole purpose in life is to terrify old, pregnant women with statistics) what the largest number of successful c-sections performed on one of his patients was, and he said seven. I figured I could go for four & turned down the tubal ligation. Now I wonder if it was simply for their own sanity after being my docs during previous pregnancies!

Tip of the day totally unrelated to ttc: wrap your refrigerator shelves in plastic wrap. This way if you spill something & it dries you need only change the plastic wrap - no scrubbing!

Time to check the Chinese Birth Calendar to see if I should wait on ttc since I want a boy so badly!

Waiting - I forgot to address your bladder issue. I'm surprised you haven't speed on yourself already with all that fertilitea & extra water! Rofl...

Hey girlies,
Ok....sooo I know most of u have tried different methods....some r just waiting for answers others praying on miracles. Thank u ladies for all ur kind word and support. I think Im gonna let go and let god. Im literally driving myself crazy. I guess i should tell u that the pregnancy is one of three major life chaning events going on in my life right now. The only thing is that the pregnancy part was not on my mind. My symptoms range from bloating...fatigue...severe lightheadedness....pains in my left abdomen when i coughed all day saturday followed by sore lympg nodes on Monday......a faint positive yesterday and two negatives today....a one week early period followed by a two week early only bod clot period...both extremly shorter than normal...along with weird eating changes....either appetite loss or craving sweets all day then major headaches all day..and back pain. I really am soooooo lost. My body is giving me sooo many sign its unbearable....but yet. Doctor ...hospital....nurse...say its not possible. Close minded health care providers love it.....and then to top it all moody irritable and just plain stressed. I dont know if I should give up or go crazy.....this is too strange....and too many signs and symptoms. I must add...that prior to this year i had no PMS symptoms prior...and the Biggest symptom which started this all....squeezing small amou nt of liquid from my nipples. What should I do girls ?????
