Hi, I'm In a healthy, loving, stable relationship with the love of my life, we were made for each other! I've never felt so connected to someone... SO We're trying to get pregnant! We're going to move back to Nova Scotia where he is from and start our family, we'll be getting marries this summer. SO anyway, I've had a few negative tests so far but Christopher is convinced that I'm pregnant, he's very intuitive but I'm the body in question and I don't think we've achieved the first month of trying pragnancy... however, it is possible... Question #1: How early did any women here start having the "heightened sense of smell"? I swaer I've been smelling things in a superhuman way lately... aside from that, tell me your experiences with conception and early pregnancy? specifically the first few weeks? before your missed period and after? because I now know what it's like to be "actively trying" and it ain't all peaches and cream... it's stressful! Thanks for reading and I look forward to reading how everyone else dealth with "trying" for the first time
i knew i was pregnant all 3 times because i had bad morning sickness. also, sore boobs. good luck, and dont stress out about it. just relax and it will happen.
See, I always have tender swollen breast before my period for a couple days to a week. This time My boobs have been swollen, sore and seem to be staying that way, feeling huge and sore for a long time. I have also trying to become pregnant. I am thinking I am but am not counting my chickens just yet on the boob situation. What I would like to add is , I can't handle the waiting game! I think I am pregnant and went past when Im supposed to have my period but because I am not very regular Im gonna wait another week. For me the waiting is really intense, I think I am prego and I don't want to jynx it so I haven't been looking at the calender or anything . Mellow mama how do you deal with the waiting game?
it's very stressful, because I'm a tea addict and I like to use "recreational drugs" from time to time, it's frustrating because if I am pregnant I'd like to know as soon as possible so that I can start taking care of my body considering I will no longer be the only one living in it... My boyfriend is convinced that I am pregnant despite some negative pregnancy tests... but I'm overdue for my period for 2 days now and am afraid to take a test because I'm afraid I'll see yet another lonely pink line, just me, no second line indicating the second lifeform inside me... I hate it. Not to mention I havn't had regular periods since i came off my birth control about 6 months ago my last period was the first in 2 months and with a cycle like that how the hell am I to know when I'm ovulating?!?! so I pretty much need to keep having plenty of unprotected sex every day and taking pregnancy tests once a week until I get a positive... and that's VERY frustrating noty to mention pregnancy tests aren't cheap good luck dancing sun, I hope we both conceive soon... maybe we'll be pregnant at the same time and we can update each other. OH and it doesn't help my waiting game knowing my friend nicole just got pregnant by accident, the lucky bitch didn't even try. I'm happy for her though, I just with I was too, then we could share experiences.
Good luck to you too Mellow Mamma! I think that would be wonderful if we got pregnant at the same time, it would be nice to share experiences for sure! We will get pregnant at the perfect time for us and when it happens all the stress of waiting and wanting will melt away! peace.love. light. Remember don't try too hard either! I read that stress lowers the chances and also having sex tonnes isn't actually the best cuz then it lowers sperm count or something. I got it online at www.pregnancy-info.net it had a lot of good tips! Also www.naturalparenting.com.au/ I thought was pretty awsome too! I liked it for the environmentally friendly and spiritual info on raising children the nature intended positive energy is being sent your way!!! peace
You can track your ovulation cycle by taking your basal body temperature & charting your cervical mucus & cervical changes affected by your hormones. I used it for many years and had success of always knowing where I was in my cycle and I never got pregnant until I wanted to. Some folks called it the rhythm method but I remember it's also called sympto-thermal birth control, as it has the extra observation of know what your cervix is doing. I'm thinking that until you have an idea of what your cervix is doing & whether you are ovulating (which I'm sure @ your age you are!) your are going to deplete your lover's sperm count by banging away all day and deplete your bank account by buying up all the pregnancy tests in town... also start taking that folic acid supplement now
It will happen when it's the right time. Sometimes we want it so much that we feel symptoms even when were not pregnant, or you confuse pre menstrual ones, which can be similar. It happened to me a while back. About your use of recreational drugs, it's never to early to start cleaning your body. Its good to get healthy before your pregnant, that way you will get clean from the start, and start taking folic acid. In my case I knew before my missed period, I just knew... I felt it. A couple of weeks latter my breast got tender and swollen, I got an incredible hunger, and morning sickness when I didn't eat. Oh and I would get nauseous with smells and the sight of foods I didn't eat, like meat. Anyway if you are not pregnant don't be upset, it will happen when its right. Keep track of your ovulation just to know when theres more probability, but don't count on that too much, its more exciting when its spontaneous. Do it when it feels right. Good wishes to you and your love.
Thank! that means a lot! Thats pretty much how im doing it , just having sex when i want to and not forcing it. I am also using the mucus method and i just started writing down my cycle. I just get sad when my period comes,. im a winer actually, my partner and I started trying in january so i cant complain but it is still a real sad feeling when my period comes,
