Hello,
I would like to give you some inspiring information. About 17 years ago I had a baby girl and thought man I would like to have a baby boy to make my family complete. Well my husband and I tried for years and years and nothing. We had every test done you can think of and the doctor kept saying well we have no idea why you aren't getting pregnant! So I eventually gave up! Thought, well maybe it isn't meant for me to have another baby. If my periods are right on track and nothing is wrong with my husband and nothing is wrong with me and the doctors can't seem to find out why on earth I'm not getting pregnant then maybe it's just not meant to be. About 6 months later my niece came over and asked me to ride in town with her. She was going to buy a pregnancy test. Well she got the one that had two tests in it. And it was a very cheap *I think store brand* test. She took one and it came back positive, I was very upset inside but didn't let it show on the outside because I wanted to be happy for her and supportive. Well we were at the gas station and she was like oh go take the other one. I look at her and I'm like I will not, I'm not having any more babies. She asked me to over and over and so I went into the bathroom there and pee'd on the stick and it turned PINK!! I couldn't believe it!! I went back to the store and bought a second one to take and show my husband. I was 2 months pregnant at the time and didn't even know it. So my daughter is now 17 and my son 9. The whole point to my story is that sometimes we try a little too hard and then when we don't get pregnant we seem to think we are doomed at every having more babies. Then once we give up the miracle happens. I think I was hoping for too much and then had to much stress on me because it wasn't happening. Then once I have up I got pregnant and was so set on thinking that I wasn't ever going to have any more I didn't believe it when I was. And I would like to add.. After my son I got my tubes cut and clipped. After Nine years I just had a tubal reversal March 15, 2007, and just found out I'm pregnant! I hadn't expected it to be so sudden and I wasn't even really trying for it to happen this soon. So don't give up but give up * if you know what I mean* and good things may come flying your way!! Sticky baby dust to you!!

well just a piece of info, a home pregnancy test doesnt not detect your hCG hormone until the 5th week of pregnancy, because there ests are kind of week, you have to wait til your levels are higher. You may be pregnant, but might be only a few weeks so either one or two things, one- wait another week or so, or two- go to the ob/gyn and have her do a blood test, because those are alot stronger.
Did you use OPK's to track your ovulation, because maybe you ovulated late, so either your period will be late (it happened to me in December, that's the only time in my whole life I've been late) or if you ovulated late and got pregnant it might not be enough days past to show a positive pregnancy test, which also has happened to me with this pregnancy and everything is going fine and am currently 18 weeks. I'd give it a few more days, test again and if it's still negative have your doctors run a blood test. My friend never got a positive home pregnancy test when she went to the doctors she ended up being 13 weeks pregnant. Good luck and baby dust!!!

Hi I'm new to this site but I'd really like some help. I had a mc 6 wks ago and I'm still waiting for my period. I have tender breasts and some dizzyness. And 2 days ago I started spotting dark brown blood. Its only there every so often and isn't much need for a pad. I have done 3. Urine test which were negative. But I'm unsure if this spotting could be new implantation bleeding? Any thoughts?

Been trying to conceive since end of April. I had stopped bc pills end of April had period April 25th-29th. Then did not have another period until June 5th. This I was told was my body adjusting to beingoff the pill. Then my periods were normal 6/5-6/10, and then 7/3-7/7, I was due for next period 7/31, and I am now presently 2 weeks late. I have taken 2 urine tests and one blood test all negative. I have noticed a white discharge after going to bathroom, and have had crampipng all sign of period but nothing to show. Slight nausea, and breast tenderness as well. It's such a frustrating time. I would love to be pregnant but at the same time I know the reality of it is that i am not. Yet I'm nervous that something is wrong with me. I am a worry wort, lol. My Dr. does tell me that all is fine and that if still no period by 8/28 which is when this months should be due, then we will test again.
Just wanted to let some of you ladies know that I didn't test positive on a HPT until I was 3 weeks late! I've also read that some women didn't have a positive reading throughout their entire pregnancies. Strange, I know. I think that there might be some type of correlation between negative HPTs and Implantation Bleeding. I've researched it a lot and most of the women who experienced IB got several negative results on HPTs and were still pregnant. My implantation bleeding consisted of barely-there brownish discharge which only appeared three mornings. I hope this helps calm some of your frustrations...I know how hard it is not knowing. I wish you all the best of luck and I'll keep you in my prayers.
i had my last period on may 17th so today is the 29th day of my cycle which means im not tooo terribly late, but yet i still have not started. so i went to get 3 hpt and took one on monday evening, and it was negative, then took one this morning friday and still negative. im not sure whats going on? i have had some cramping last week and very minor this week. slight nipple tenderness and exaustion. when should i take another test. is it possible i am still pregnant and its too early? has anyone been in this situation and gotten a positive just wondering thank you so much
eveyrone i am on day 29 of my cycle. me and my husband are trying to concieve, but no pressure just letting it happen. I have taken three hpt and they have been negative. Was this too early im new at all this. when should i take another one???
help!!!

I am so glad I came across this forum. It is funny that you are not alone in a situation. I am 9 days late 3 preg test no positive results. I finally went to the doctor and got a blood test so hopefully I will find out what's going on. I am never late maybe by 6 hours but never by days. I have had headaches for the last 2 weeks. Also I am BLOATED like I am about to start but no period. I go to the bathroom all the time. The only thing that is out of the norm is that my face didn't break out this month. Usually my face breaks out every time before I come on and it didn't this month. So I am anxious to know what is going on
Hi Ladies,
I'm 27 and haven't had sexual intercourse in over a year... until MAY 11th. I had protected sex (condom) using astroglide on May 10th, June 4th, & June 9th. My AF was due Wednesday, June 13th but instead on my usual heavy clots of blood, Monday the 11th I started spotting brown spots that barely filled a Panty Liner, Tuesday only bright RED thin blood when I wiped but not on pad, and now WED & THUR just brown (Paste-like) spotting again with pink around it. I took an HPT yesterday and it came back neg. I've been extra crampy with a butterfly feel in my stomach. I still feel like my menstrual is coming down. I've weepy lately and have no appetite. I've been mean and extremely fatigued.
WHAT SHOULD I DO? Any advice will help!
Hello, Just to let you know that I find your website extremely useful. I am a young lady with one child and wanting nothing more than to have another. My last menstrual cycle was on the 14th or the 15th of May. I had intercourse on the 28th, 30th and 31st of May, which at that time I was ovulating without a doubt. The problem is that lately I am feeling extremely tired and worn out. I am expecting my period within the next three to four days, but the way I am feeling I am beginning to wonder if it is possibly that I am pregnant. I am having stomach cramps kind of like what I would have before my period come. The weired thing is that I was examining my breast and after squeezing it very lightly, I notice clear fluids coming out of my right breast. Could this be that I am pregnant or what. I normally don't have anything coming from my breast because I tend to check it quite frequently but this time around I was shock.
ICan you also explain if I am pregnant why the cramps and how long will then go on for. I sometime run to the bathroom base on how bad the cramps are and me thinking that any second now my cycle is going to start. I also notice that I am in the bathroom more now than ever. It could possibly all be in my mind because of all the different symptoms I am reading about.
Please help.
