well, i am on day 3 of sore boobs and i had cramps yesterday and discomfort today but still no period.... my body is sooo weird!

lol I know exactly how you feel about that. I will feel like I'm going to start, and then the symptoms will go away.. and then 2 more weeks will go by and I'll get them again.. then it'll pass.. then usually by the 3rd time I feel them.. that's when it happens.. usually 2 to 3 months apart.

Oh, ok, I see... My boobs don't move though, so I don't know what that's like! lol (I'm a 32A )

Well i can't say that I relate to you there..because i'ma 36D, but they don't have to move to hurt.. and I know the feeling could be different for every woman. It may not feel the same as mine do. Generally it's not just moving that hurts.. sometimes it's like it just hurts to even hug someone it's so sensitive.

Well, I'm 11 DPO, so it's all downhill from here. I don't feel pregnant at all. My breasts hurt more around this time last month than they do now, but inspite all my pessimism, I'm hoping. Yesterday, I was really tired in the evening for no apparent reason and woke up tired today - of course, I want to read all sorts of stuff into it. :o

If I don't get AF by Wednesday, I'll get a HPT and test on Thursday morning.

Gracefaith, we're right on the same timing! I told myself I would test Wednesday morning if AF hasn't come by then. But I'm getting anxious, I'd like to test tomorrow, but tests are expensive!
I'm on day 25, and still no sign of AF. I checked my cervix and it's not anthing like what it should be at around this time... So maybe?...

Go to the dollar store!!! Not that's I'm overeager or anything...

how often do you look around in the pregnancy section?

 

[TheSerenityPrayer]

Thanks WnP!

Before I confuse anyone I should do a quick list of Acronyms I have picked up from various baby forums and stuff. I also found a concise list on this page

TTC = trying to concieve
BFP = Big Fat Positive
BFN = Big Fat Negative
AF = Aunty Flo which is a nice term for menstruation)
AI = Artificial Insemination
BBT = Basal Body Temperature
CD = Cycle Day
CM= Cervical Mucus

Is anyone else charting? I am using this site
If we don't fall pregnanct soon we will start temping (using a BBT thermometre) and perhaps using MaybeBaby

We have been married for almost 3 years (Nov. 18) we haven't been on birth control since DH has gotten out of Basic training for the U.S. Air Force. We've pretty much been hitting it right on the target for 1 1/2 yrs. We still arent PG. DH has the babybug BAADDD! I thought I had it bad, he has it bbbaaaddd! lol. I will try and keep you informed. Blessings.

I don't know how it is in the US, but here the governement put out a notice not to buy pregnancy tests from the $ store because they're not reliable... although I don't know if it's for every brand they sell.
I bought a test yesterday, but I'm *trying* to wait until Wednesday to test. It's so hard! *bites nails* lol

A few days earlier than your period would usually start. Like if you usually have a 28-day cycle, you get light bleeding at 24 days. Something like that.

 

[Maharg]

Thanks for the replies. I think this is a good sign then. Slightly brownish blood and I think I would be due to start my period sometime this week. (i'm a bit vague about dates, I'm afraid.

I have had this, before my miscarriage. It is implantation bleeding, it is about 2 weeks after conception, which falls about when your period should come.. that's why it causes confusion for some. this is if you have a normal cycle however.. 28 to 30 days or somewhere around there. If you have a longer cycle usually, thenyou'll probably know when the light pink spotting occurs.. about 1 to 2 weeks after conception... because it wont' be at the same time as your period. If you have wacky cycles like I do... sometimes mine are 28 days.. sometimes they are 3 months.. back when i had my miscarriage though I was pretty regular.. 28 to 30 days.

I don't know exactly... Dh and I prayed when we first started. And I prayed today that God would give me the patience to test. I know it's all in God's hands, and so I don't worry about it. I just can't wait to know for this cycle since it's the first one!

Good time to go out and get a Basal thermometer and start charting.
