Open Question: Do you think I’m pregnant? (TTC)?
Friday, January 09, 2009 8:33 AM
Trying since Dec. 30th, 2009~
Its killing me to wait to find out if my husband and I are pregnant.  I’m going crazy waiting to “miss my period!”
Here are the facts:
First day of last period: December 13th *That makes tomorrow the 28th day of my cycle.  (I’m irregular, but for the last 6 months I’ve been averaging a 21-31 day cycle.) so, I COULD be late…But I took a test last Saturday, January 3rd (too early, I know) and it was Negative.
I’m anxious, and we’re moving houses this week–so, yes, stress is high.
I feel most, if not all of the symptoms. I feel crazy though— do all women do this to themselves? If I’m pregnant, its probably too early to feel any symptoms.  My worst fear is that I’m not pregnant, and whats worse: My own body is faking all these symptoms: nausea, sleeplessness,mood swings, light gas, constipation (for 2 weeks now), dark & Hard nipples, a weird & picky appetite- (hungry all the time, for weird things).
Please give me some personal experience info, and a date when I could take a test that it WOULD be accurate.

ps. take note that I am moving so I won’t be able to take a blood test for at least another 2 weeks (find a new doctor, get new health insurance with my husband’s new job) Are there any other, accurate alternatives to find out SOON??!??
oh, and I forgot to add sore breasts, too. (I wake up and they are sore…and, all throughout the day. I’m not running, or wearing sports bras).
