Can anyone shed some insight? (TMI) UPDATE POST 14

Anberlin · #1 November 28th, 2009, 10:32 AM

Hi, I'm Nicole, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me. I'm posting this here because I have had two losses in between the two kids I already have.

My period is due tomorrow. My LMP was November 3, ovulation on Nov. 15 (I felt it). My husband and I baby danced on the 14th and 16th of November.

Since Tuesday, I have been having what has felt like pre-period cramps. I never gets pre-period cramps until the day before my period actually arrives. The last time it happened, I was pregnant with my daughter.

I have also been checking my cervical position. On Tuesday it was high, soft, closed and wet. By Thursday, it was lowER, but not low..it was in a medium position, and slightly firm, but not hard or soft, and still wet. This morning, I checked it again, at the same time that I normally do, and it was high, soft, closed and wet again. I am actually able to remove some sticky clear/white discharge when I remove my finger.

I almost forgot to add, along with the cramping, I have been nauseous, no vomitting, have a heightened sense of smell (everything smells disgusting to me, almost to the point of vomitting). I'm moody to the point of b**chy, and find that I have no patience anymore, and find myself screaming and yelling all the time (which hasn't happened since I was pregnant with my son). I am so tired, it's not even funny, have no energy whatsoever, I can barely get up in the morning because of how heavy my body feels, and it doesn't matter if I've had 1 hour of sleep, or 11 hours of sleep. I have also been craving very salty foods.

Insight, anyone?

So, I have a few questions.

1. What position should the cervix be in that might indicate pregnancy?
2. Should the cervix be wet or dry one day prior to your period?
3. Is there any possibility that I could be pregnant?
4. When should I take a test?

Looks like your timing would have been good. I would say take a test

. I am unsure of the cervical position as I don't track mine. When is AF due? If my math is right you are about 13dpo or is it 12. Either way if you get a FRER you might be able to get an accurate result. I hope you get the answer you are hoping for

. Symptoms sound promising for a BFP. Good luck.

AF is due tomorrow. I have a 26 day cycle, LMP was November 3.

You could use a FRER and should be able to get a + if you are pg, GL

Your symptoms sound promising. I would test, and kup!

I think if you tested you should be able to get a BFP by now if you are pregnant. It sounds like your timing was right and you are having a lot of EPS. Whenever I am pregnant the biggest giveaway for me is that I am soooooo exhausted, even when I first wake up..even after sleeping for 10 hours. Good luck!!!!!! Hope it's a BFP!

I tested with a blue dye because my bank count is only so many dollars away from my overdraft limit. At first, it looked like a BFN, but when I went back 10 minutes later, I *think* I could see the faintest second line, forming a positive. So, right now, I'm not 100% sure, but really hoping. I kept trying to look at it, and now, I can't, for the life of me, find it, lol. I could have sworn I put it back in my drawer.

I do have a second test, but I'm going to wait and see if AF does come tomorrow. If she doesn't, then I'll test first thing Monday morning.

Good Luck and welcome to JM! I hope the next test is +++ for you!

SkyBaby · #9 November 28th, 2009, 08:42 PM

That does sound very promising! Good luck!

GL! Sending you some BFP dust...

Anberlin · #11 November 29th, 2009, 05:19 AM

Thanks! It's Sunday and no sign of AF (yet). *fingers crossed*

It's 8:41pm EST, do you know where my Aunt Flo is?

I DON'T!!!

Okay, so I started a new job tonight, and I think they think I'm crazy or something (and I hope I don't get fired already) because HOLY CRAMPS BATMAN!!! I could have SWORN Aunt Flo had finally arrived! I had been there from 3:45pm to 7:00pm, and like I said, 8:41pm and SHE'S NOT HERE!!! Not a single sign of her! Not so much as a spot!

Anyway, I brought along some pads, just in case and kept running to the bathroom, probably 37 times, in between customers and phone calls, because I could have sworn she was here, and nope, still nothing!!

Still gives me hope for tomorrow morning.

And at what time should I stop drinking liquids? I probably won be going to bed until midnight-ish.

Sounds super promising!! I hope you get a positive this morning!!

Tested this morning, and 6 minutes after POAS, another faint blue line appears. It's about the same faintness as the first line I *thought* I saw. So, assuming this is a true BFP, I'm off to get an FRER for tomorrow morning. Tried to get pics, but the the line was too faint to show.
