Could I Be Pregnant?


If you are ttc (trying to conceive), you know that as you near the end of your tww (two week wait) every little twinge or change in your body makes you more and more hopeful that this could be your lucky month!!!
 
You may even start asking your friends who have been pregnant before about the symptoms they experienced before knowing for sure that they were expecting.
 
Below is a list of symptoms that some women experience. The hard part is that every woman’s body responds differently to pregnancy and many of the symptoms mirror those of PMS!
 
Possible Pregnancy Symptoms:
 
Sore breasts
Mild cramping
Metallic taste in mouth
Spotting
Fatigue
Heightened sense of smell
Darkened Nipples
Nausea
Backaches
Bloating
Needing to pee more frequently
Food cravings
Headaches
Dizziness
Change in food preferences both likes and dislikes
Constipation
Moodiness
Increased temperature by at least .4 degrees for more than 3 consecutive days
 
 Sending everyone lots of Baby Dust!

This is our first month ttc, got pregnant with our daughter the 1st month we tried. I was hoping for a repeat so I guess we'll see, I was 23 with her and am now 31. I have never had break through bleeding before, extremely normal cycle however on the day that an egg would have been implanted, I did have "implantation bleeding" for a few hours on 8/22. I got the ept in the mail and tried 11 dpo and then am of 12 dpo, both negative. Guess I'll have to wait to find out the real verdict. Maybe my HCG levels are still too low to find out? Guess "cheating the system" as my husband calls it didn't work out for me this time. I'm just going to have to wait a few more days....DANG IT! Any thoughts?

Hi - I too am trying for a second child and my last period was July 25th. I'm too anxious to wait 2 weeks so I ordered the earlier preg tests. Should be here in a couple of days - can't wait!!

I didn't have any symptoms (at least not in the first month) on my first baby so some of the symptoms ppl feel is just wishful thinking. Keep your hopes high and I wish you all the best!

Hi my last period was the 18th of july but i have been experiencing pregnancy or so i think :
Needing to pee more frequently
Food cravings
Headaches
Dizziness
Change in food preferences both likes and dislikes
Constipation
Moodiness
Increased temperature by at least .4 degrees for more than 3 consecutive days
Bloating
Fatigue
Sore breasts
Mild cramping
but i have already have one child and when i was pregnant the symptoms were the same but in different ways i know i have not missed my period yet i just feel like i am pregnant. Me and my partner did not use any form of birth control as we would like another child. I'm in 2 minds as to if i am or i'm not can you give me any advice. sorry its such a long message.

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.

Find your most fertile time.
