Pregnant or Not Pregnant? That is the Question!

Post by ARG »

Hi, I am on the dreaded two week wait and I am so dispondant. I had ET on 15th August, due to test on 29th on Wednesday. (So far I have not done a HPT but have been tempted). I have had period like symptoms over the past 5 days really and also my lower back has had a real ache in it for a couple of days. Im absolutely convinced I am going to get my period. I have not had any bleeding yet. I normally get a couple of shows 4 or 5 days before my period is due (Period would be due on the 30th August if I get it). I am really confused and fearful of getting the dreaded curse. Whats the chances of being pregnant after these symptoms??

The 2 WW is hard...Try to relax as much as possible. I know it is hard. the evit HPT are not reliable at least for me they were niot. I tested negative the day i had my blood draw. well I am 33 weeks pregnant now. I had a lot of period like symptoms and convinced I was not pregnant and stopped my shots and all...Cause I knew. So hang in there....
The 29th I hope brings you all good things.
:D :D

period symtoms

Post by kipatte »

Hi Arg:

I had exactly the same experience. I gave in the day before my blood test for a home HPT and it was positive. I still feel like I am going to start every day. So all this is very normal. The back pain is a real key also. I had read that temperatures get elevated a little, so I took mine and yes it was elevated. Just rest and sleep when you get crampy. It helps.

This is a good sign! Hang in there.

Hi Angela,
I'm on the same schedule as you I go Wed for my BT. I have had the cramping on and off too. People say that's good, I'm still scared. I haven't taken a HPT, and as of now I do not plan on it. Too afraid of what it will say. I'm also having the Dr call my DH with the results. I'm too scared to hear him say NEGATIVE. [/img][/list][/list][/code]

I am on the same schedule too!!! I have my beta on Wed 8/29. I have cramps on and off. My boobs hurt for a little but they don't anymore. Who the heck knows if that means something or nothing.
Good Luck!! :D

Did you take a HPT

Post by kangela25 »

Hey Tricia,
Ony 2 more days left for the BT. Are you going to take a HPT? I'm so tempted to do one tomorrow.

Angela - I am tempted to take one, but....I will wait. I've heard so many stories of people's HPT's being negative then they get a positive beta. I just dont want to put myself through any unnecessary ups and downs. So I will wait...not patiently though :D

I will try

Post by kangela25 »

I will try to post my results tomorrow. The only reason I say try is because if i get a BFN tomorrow, I might be to devastated to write. I know I was that way the first time I got my BFN. But I hope this time is different. I hope and wish you all the best of luck and hope there are BFP posted tomorrow.

Hey Tricia, Me too I had my BW this morning. The anticipation is driving me crazy. I wish I could go out and do something to take my mind off it. But I can't, everytime I think of some place to go I say "no I'm not in the mood to do that". I just have to wait. I should get a response between 2-4pm. Best of luck to you.
