I have a question. Today I have this bad cramping right in the middle of my lower stomach, right above my pelvic bone. It's not to the side or anything, right in the middle. But for the past like 4-5 days I have had a very slight cramping pain on the right hand side. I don't think that it's an eptopic pregnancy, because the pain is very very very slight. I think that I need to go to the doctor.

Kare - Go to the doctor to check it out. You need to have a check up anyway, and you have questions for him, so go ahead. It is possible that the cramping is due to implantation (which would be very nice!) or it could be something else, but he/she is the bets one to ask. Britney - yeah, peopel do not have a right to tell you you are too young or too old to be a parent. i teach, and believe me a I have sen my share of both good and bad parents, and believe me some have been young, some have been older, some have had money, others have had none, some have had tons of education and some have had none, but each of those categories has had its fair share of awful and wonderful parents. The deciding factor is do you you understand that this is a person you are bringing into this world, and do you realize that his/her needs take priority? That is what makes a good parent. And as for the Spears bimbo, I can't help wondering if she woke up one day and said, "I'm bored - I 've done everything there is to do .. hey I think I'll have a baby!"

Hey everyone well i was going to buy one of the clear blue easy fertility monitors here this weekend but then got on ebay an found the monitor and 8 boxes of strips for 160 bucks and thought it was to good to pass up so i bought it and it should be here some time next week hopefully before af is SUPPOSE to be. could some explain a little how it works and if it has helped them out any?? well thanks so much girls and still wishing you all the best!

Helene ~ I don't think that the cramping was implantation bleeding, unless my ovulation is off, but you never know. The first day of my last period was Feb 20th. I know that I need to go to the doctor, but I need to check my insurance to see if it covers that. I'm sure that it does, it better! Well AF is due on the 20th of this month according to FEMTA (computer program). So we will see, I don't have any cramping today. Bellyrubs and Babydust!!!!

Hey Girls! Haven't been around for the past few days! My work schedule is gruesome! I read over the post from the past few days and I think that you are all on the same page as I am. AF was due on the 14th and she never came. I haven't taken a test yet because I don't want to be disappointed again, besides my cycles are so out of wack its not even funny. I just want them to be normal again!!! I had a long talk with my mom today and I just let it all out and vented about everything I could. She was sooo good about listening and giving me her opinion without being pushy or judgemental! I was pleasently surprised. I am so tired of all these preg women complaining about their "illnesses". I pray for morning sickness (hahaha)!!! My friend that I have told you guys about before is on my nerves so bad lately!!! Every time I see her she has a new complaint about how shitty she is feeling!!! I almost want to grab her by the shoulders and shake her and tell her to shut up. You know how bad I want a baby and all you do is complain about being preg!!!!!!!! (SORRY girls, just venting) She is supposed to be able to find out what the baby is on her next visit. I am hoping that its a girl. If I can't have the first greatgrandchild, I would at least like to have the first greatgrandson! Hope that dosen't sound horrible of me. Really all I hope for is a healthy baby, but is so hard not to be angry at her some times! Thanks for listening ladies! Good Luck and Baby Dust to all!!!!!!

Jessi ~ I know what you mean, one of my co-workers just found out that she was preg;nant, she got pregnant on her honeymoon. Then another co-worker just found out that she was pregnant, but she has a couple kids already though. It's like everbody around me is becoming preggo. AF is due on the 20th, but it probably won't come until a few days later. I really hope that it doesn't come this month, that would be nice......

hi ladies! Happy St. Patty's Day! hope everyone is wearing green other wise i'm *pinching* you! ;o) hope everyone is doing well. i started AF this morning so here we go again...cd 1 and counting. i dont feel to bad today...had some bad cramping this morning, but i took 3 advil and i'm feeling much better now. Kare~i think Emma was talking to Jessi because she said she prays for morning sickness...thanks Emma, i really hope i get it and i promise i wont complain...ok, well maybe i will a little bit. :o) BritneyH~that sounds like a great deal on the CBEFM...if you have any questions they have a web site you can go to, just google the word Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor. Jessi~ dont worry about the venting...we all understand. has AF showed up yet? are you usually irregular? if not you should buy a test ASAP...i dont know how you've waited this long-i would be going crazy by now wanting to know whether or not i was pg! well good luck if you haven't started yet! Kare~hopefully your AF doesn't show up this month either...i'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for those of you who are waiting! Helene~i agree with what you said about Britney...she probably did wake up one morning and had an epiphany about having a child! i wish it was that easy for all of us...just wake up and decide "i want to have a baby" and BAM-we're pregnant! wouldn't that be wonderful? alright, well i'm going on a break so i will talk to you all later. *~*baby dust*~*

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Have been busy and my computer crashed. That wasn't me saying I hope you get morning sickness or other terrible things. Of course I do hope that we all have morning sickness very soon! Anyway how is everyone doing? I've lost 2 pounds which is very exciting lol. I'm on cd25 so no af yet. Is britney spears pregnant again? I've seen some magazines with her on them but am not quite sure, only time will tell I guess. Kare I wouldn't worry about what your doctor thinks about your age. He/she is there to help you not judge you. I'm 23 but when I got married (19) my doctor asked if we would ttc right away or not. He would have helped me then because of my long cycles. I know of a 18 year old going through treatments. If your doctor wont help then find someone else. Jessi did af show or not? Hoping not! Helene how are you? Dee so sorry about af coming. It sucks but there is always a new chance and hopefully this month will be yours. I hope you are all ok. Baby dust.

I'm on CD26, AF is supposed to be due on the 20th. It probably won't come until a few days later. Oh, and today a co-worker of mine that works in my department just announced that she was PG (sigh....). I had to listen to her all day complain about being tired, she had to go sit down (eye roll...). I was thinking if you have to sit down at 1 month along, your going to be sitting down even more when you get further along. No they weren't trying, that I know of. They are newly weds, maybe 2 months into the marriage and she can't be much older than 18-19. Everytime she would talk about it, I just wanted to scream, LOL!!! Sorry, I needed to get that out. Really sore breasts seems to be one of the ultimate signs that you are pregnant. Because that girl told me that she knew that she was because her boobs were really sore and she was tired alot, but I don't know if that was before or after she missed AF. Sometimes if feels like I have sore boobs, but not really bad and not everyday. I wonder if your boobs are sore everyday and if you have to urinate all the time, or if it comes and goes. I wish I knew what it was like, then determining if I was again would be a little more easy.......

Hey Ladies! AF has not showed up yet. Bought a hpt today at the local pharmacey. I haven't taken it yet. I just don't want to be let down again. My boobs are on again off again sore, but every time they get sore it is more than the last time. I just don't want to jump the gun. My cycles are messed up because I stopped taking bc in Nov. I calculated my O day (the closest that I could) and BD every other day for a week. Just don't know what to expect with things being so out of wack. What do you all think? Emma~Congrats on the 2 lbs.!!! Keep it going and you'll be at you goal before you know it!!! Baby Dust!!!

Emma -I figured that wasn't you. Probably the same whacko who was pretending to be you earlier. Just hit the poor taste button and the forum people will deal with it. I reported that Tammy chick who kept posting about her spiritual spellcaster bs and the forum e-mailed me back that they had blocked her, but as she had hidden a few of her posts, to juts hit the poor taste button and they would deal with it. I am doing well. I don't always check in to this thread, a s I usually post in the m/c thread, but i do check now and then. Kare , don't lose heart. It does suck when someone who just got married gets preggo boom! And two months feels like nothing when you have been trying for months or years. It will happen for you, I just have a good feeling about it. You have youth on your side, and the fact that even though you weren't careful, you weren't actively trying is a actually on your side. You only have a 20% chance of conceiving each month. And don't put too much stock in computer programs that predict your ovulation date based on your last periods- according ot the Toni Wechsler book, ovulation can vary each month, and the only sure way to predict fertility is observing the cervical mucus and the only way to confirm that ovulation happened is by charting your temp and getting a sustained temperature shift. Even the OPK's are not fully reliable because they only tell you you are having an lh surge and are about to ovulate - they can't confirm that you actually did. 2 months ago I got TWO lh surges, because I was really sick during the first one and didn't ovulate, so my body tried again the next month (not very comon, but possible). So don't stress yet. When you find out if your insurance covers it, go to the doctor for the peace of mind. I was worried about getting a lecture about my weight and being told i was high risk for my age and the doctor was like, why would you be high risk? Se really made me relax and the last thing she said was, I'll see you in three months, because i am sure you will be back with good news. Dee -so sorry about a/f. I am due on Monday. I have temping and my temps are still very high, but I am sick so I may be running a temperature. ALso, like I said earlier, things didn't go so well with the bd timing this month, so I expect nada. Jessi - when are you testing? I remember being absolutely exhausted to the point that I fell asleep around four or five o'clock in the evening and slept for three hours on two or three occasion. I remember the boobs getting really big, but I can't remember how much they di/din't hurt. The niples were really sore for a whlile, but I only reember that briefly - I think I just remember them being sort of sensitive so that if someon brushed against me in the crowded hallway too close I was like, huh! BUt I don't remember the soreness that many women describe. I honestly don't remember that much - it was so many moths ago and I was only /g for 7 weeks, so a lot of it is now a blur. I do remember having the frekiest dreams! I kept saying, wow, I hope this isn't Rosemary's baby! And by week 6 I was peeing non-stop. It was awful. But everyone is different - some women get no symptoms for weeks after they are late. ANd some women get them as soon implantation occurs. Good luck. I am crossing my fingers for you that this is it! Maybe you will give us good news tomorrow! Dee -LMAO at Brittney Spear's "epiphany!" She is frightening!

Sorry ladies - i don't show up for days and then I clog the posts with my seventy line long posts! (and tons of typos!)

Also, I hit the poor taste button, so we shall see.

Yeah, my AF is due this Monday the 20th. That is, if I have a normal 28 day cycle. Yeah, I'm not getting down about that one girl in my department. It just makes me irritated when somebody talks, non-stop about something. I probably would too if I was, because I would be so happy. Anyway, I'm hopeing that I don't get AF, but I'm sure that I will.

Hey Ladies!!! After I finally worked up enough courage to take the hpt I bought yesterday, I realized that it was EXPIRED!!!!!!! I never thought to look!!! And to top it all off it was expired from 2004!!!!!!

Jessi - That is too funny! Didn't you just buy it? Bring it back and get a new one. LOL. That is the kind of thing that would happen to me. Kare - How far along is that girl? She has only been married 2 mos, and she is telling everyone already? I hadn't planned on telling anyone until I hit the 3 month mark except for two close friends and two women I worked so closely with because I figured they would realize it soon enough (I was in the bathroom between every period! and i kept sitting down at my desk). I had only told my dept head a few days before the m/c and only beause I thought someone had leaked it out and I wanted it to come from me. I guess I am a little more superstitious, and since my first ended badly, I will probably be even more tight lipped next time.
