I'm gonna go insane here :(
I just need to talk a little, maybe get some friendly female advice? As some of you know, my boyfriend and I are trying to conceive. Every month I get tricked into thinking that I just might be pregnant. I try not to get my hopes up, but sometimes it's hard not to.
The last two months I've been having spotting in between periods and some cramping. In December it was just a few days of cramping and one day of pink spotting. This last time, it's been almost constant cramping(like period cramps) and had two separate days of spotting. I've also been having back pain, hot flashes, and an occasional sharp pain on my left side up by my rib cage. My boyfriend has noticed that I have been much more moody lately, snapping at him one night(never done that before, at least like that) and crying much more easily. His mom even noticed that I've been a little pissy lately. I'm not sure if it's hormonal, or stress, or what.
I don't want to start thinking that maybe this time I am pregnant, but I know I will, and I'll be disappointed yet again. My period is due this coming weekend, and I can't tell if I'm going to start or not. I usually can tell, since I start cramping a bit a few days before. But I haven't really stopped cramping since the end of my last period.
Whew...I'm done. I really just needed to write something I think. Makes me feel a bit better. If ya'll have some advice, I'd appreciate, if not, that's ok. I just appreciate you reading

~Today, any person can fight the battles of one day It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's- yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.~
Before you started TTC, were you on birth control? If so, how long have you been off bc?
How long have you been trying to conceive?
Are you charting your BBT every morning?
Instead of getting discouraged, get informed. Getting discouraged and uspet this early on in the game will do nothing but hinder your success at getting pregnant.
"Be what you're looking for."
"The next time you're thinking of kicking someone when they're down, offer them your hand and help them back up instead."
Before we started trying I was on Birth control pills for about 3-4 months. I've been off it since mid-October, which is when we decided we want to start trying to conceive. I've done some charting, not BBT, but other signs. I keep meaning to chart my BBT, but haven't gotten a sensitive enough thermometer yet, and my mornings are a little crazy sometimes. I've got a chart started on FertilityFriend. Plus we have regular sex not just during my charted fertile times, but always.
Good luck be positive!
It could happen, when you least expect it.
Hope you get that smiley face
That's not always your best tactic though I'm an encourager of regular sex for other reasons.Plus we have regular sex not just during my charted fertile times, but always.
You should be getting close to the point where your body has adjusted to going off the pill. However, alot of what you have been experiencing is likely a result of going off hormonal bc and your body trying to figure it all out again. Some women don't start ovulating immediately after going off the pill. Some do.
I found my basal thermometer at Rite Aid, but they have them at most any pharmacy. I think it cost $9. I'm not TTC, I'm TNTC (trying NOT to conceive..haha) but I have found it incredibly informative and empowering to chart.
Also, try getting yourself a copy of "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. Learning the things she teaches in this book are absolutely vital when you're TTC...or TNTC like me.
"Be what you're looking for."
"The next time you're thinking of kicking someone when they're down, offer them your hand and help them back up instead."
Pregnancy symptoms just don't seem to be what we expect or want them to be, especially when you're TTC and stressing about it (which, really, is there any other way to be than stressed about it? Hehe.)
It sucks to get your hopes all up just to see that negative test at the end of the month. Make sure you're keeping track of how long you've been TTC so that you can talk to your doctor about it if it's taking too long.
I have my fingers crossed for you!
made one wish for a permanent kiss that would echo through these bones like arsenic

Thanks everyone. I'm still waiting anxiously. My period is supposed to start in the next couple days. I did pick up a basal thermometer today, just in case
