Carol Moore27 said:I'm asking because for the last few months, ever since I started trying to conceive, I've had all the symptoms except for that constant urge to pee. I guess maybe that's a key sign? I still have about 11 days until my next period starts.

HUGE CONGRATS ON THE AMAZING NEWS! WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST!!!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU... I actually went in for blood work this morning... my OB sent me straight to prenatal care back on Tuesday, and they already have me on progesterone, taking two capsules every night at the hospital... and I'll be doing this for three months... man, what a ride...
Honestly, I just took a tip from a coworker... who actually got the advice from her own friend, and they both ended up pregnant that exact same month... the trick is that right after you're done having sex, just shove a pillow under your hips and keep your legs up in the air for maybe 20 or 30 minutes... I gave it a shot and, boom, first try at planning it out... maybe it's total nonsense and maybe it isn't, who knows... those 20 minutes with my legs in the air didn't really matter to me one way or the other, as long as it worked for them, heh... and here we are, a positive test and now the waiting game begins... just hoping everything stays on track... sending good vibes to everyone...

Carol Moore27 said:Hi there! I'm pretty new here, though I feel like I’ve been lurking in this thread forever. Just curious if anyone knows if needing to pee all the time is a common thing right at the start of pregnancy? Like, specifically during those first week or two?

hey there... look, it doesn't have to be a "must," but honestly, my experience was basically just living in the bathroom... like, every single time I turned around, I was running to the toilet... plus my breasts were super tender around the nipples... and now I'm looking at a positive test today... those were pretty much my only tells right at the start... maybe a little bloating too... anyway, good luck...

HEY LADIES, THE TEST CAME BACK POSITIVE.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So, my boss basically sent me packing and told me to head home early today because I was feeling absolutely trashed. Honestly, I totally lost my cool for a second, thinking maybe my blood pressure was just spiking or something, but then I realized I had to know. I bolted straight to the CVS down the street to grab one of those instant tests you can do right there, and—lo and behold—it’s a big fat plus. Oh my god, girls, I am just over the moon right now...

Hey everyone... still nothing to report today. No heavy flow, and even the spotting isn't darkening up much. I think I’m going to hold off for just a few more days until the 15th, since that’ll mark the full 30 days since my last period started, so I can finally run a test... man, I don't know if I can make it to Friday. It's actually my wedding anniversary that day, too. If this turns out positive, what a way to kick off our first year together... haha... just one little plus sign, and everything changes. Ugh... fingers crossed

Morning, everyone... I’m reaching out because I’ve been through the ringer—I lost two pregnancies back in the day, one a few years ago and another last year around the ten-week mark. Now, we’re stepping up to try for number three, hoping for some better luck this time. My last period started on July 15th, and we were intimate between the 25th and the 28th. Based on my cycle, I should be due for my period today. I actually took a test a couple of days ago, but it came back negative. Of course, I couldn't just sit tight and wait like a rational human being... total idiot move, I know. But my breasts are so sore, and that’s honestly not normal for me right before my period starts. Plus, I’ve had this dull, nagging ache in my abdomen for a few days now, similar to pre-period cramps, though I have to point out that usually, the pain hits just one day before everything arrives, followed by a bit of brownish discharge. This time, though, I’ve also been hitting the bathroom constantly, though it's slowed down a bit recently. There hasn't been any stinging or anything that screams UTI, but the discharge is a little creamy and turns slightly yellowish once it dries. I want this little baby so incredibly badly that I’m starting to question my own sanity—is it all just in my head? I just needed to vent a little and share this struggle with you guys... how long should I hold off before testing again? Honestly, the fear of seeing another negative is paralyzing. Sending love to you all...

Morning, everyone... I’ve had it rough lately, losing two pregnancies—one a few years back and another last year at about ten weeks. Now, we’re trying again for baby number three, crossing our fingers for some good luck. My last period started on July 15th, and we were intimate between the 25th and the 28th. Based on my cycle, I should be getting my period right about now. I actually took a test a couple of days ago, but it came back negative. Of course, I couldn't just sit tight and wait like a normal person... total idiot move, I know. My breasts are super sore, which isn't really my usual deal before a period starts. Plus, I've been feeling this dull, nagging ache in my abdomen for a few days now, pretty much like the pre-period cramps I usually get. But then again, normally the pain hits for just one day right before my period shows up, accompanied by a bit of brownish discharge for a day or two. This time, though, I've been hitting the bathroom constantly to pee, though it's slowed down a bit today. There hasn't been any stinging or anything that screams UTI, but the discharge is kind of creamy, and when it dries, it looks slightly yellowish. Honestly, I want this little one so badly that I'm starting to second-guess everything—wondering if I'm just reading too much into these symptoms or if it's all in my head. Just wanted to vent a little and share the struggle with you guys... how long should I hold off before testing again? God, I am terrified of seeing another negative. Sending love to you all...
