My Story + Encouragement Please.
My husband and I have been trying now for 1 year and 3 months. We are 23/24. We're active people. My husband is taking his vitamins. I'm taking prenatals. I'm tracking my CM, bbt, daily ovulation tests, temperature, and using preseed.
The only thing my doctor has said is that I need to lose weight. My sister-in-law is 40+ lbs heavier than me and recently became pregnant. So I'm pretty sure I'm fine in the weight department.
My cramps have always be very painful. They have gotten better though over the years. I started my period when I was 10 years old. When I was on birth control for 3 years (18-21) my cramps became non-existent. However I would bleed very bad. I got off birth control because of mind numbing migraines.
My doctor always says I haven't tried long enough to be seen for fertility testing and that my age doesn't worry her about not having conceived yet.
This month I had two peak days based off of digital ovulation tests. I used one stick for the first peak day and started a new test stick to see what would happen. The second stick showed low fertility and the next day showed a solid smiley. Both tests were done at 1pm days following each other. Peak days were Feb 9th and supposedly the 23rd.
My period is due tomorrow (Feb 27). The last few days my breasts feel heavier and have a pressure feeling. My sense of smell is out of control. With reading stories on glow though, signs of pregnancy and PMS are so similar that it seems like there's no point in symptom tracking.
I'm so scared to take a test again and be crushed so this month I'm waitin for AF that will most likely show up tomorrow.
