:o Me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby but I can't seem to get pregnant, every time we make love his sperm comes right back out!! Can I still get pregnant? My period this month has been a little strange! I had it last week then got it again this week! I have been craving some unusual things these last few days and have been very cranky are these signs? I haven't taken a home pregnancy test yet should I?


Any answer would help us!!

Thanks cynthia & stephen

It doesn't sound like you are pregnant to me. Are you sure you are ready? Maybe you need to read some pregnancy books. If you have sex without protection, trust me the sperm is not coming out. Not all of it anyway-it's in there. Doctors always say that if you are trying to get pregnant you need to give yourself at least one year. You can take ovulation tests to find out when is the best time, but that doesn't mean that you can't get pregnant at any other time.

"what to expect when you are expecting", and "your pregnancy month by month" these are great pregnancy books

Hello another good book that I was using is... "baby making 101" it walks you through charting your cycle using the BBT method. I have this on a PDF if your interested just let me know. As well "taking charge of your fertility" is another one that you could look into.

Good Luck!!

My husband and I have been trying for 6 months now so I know how stressful it can be trying. Everyone keeps telling me to relax so that's what I have been trying to do. As well I have purchased and ovulation kit to help me better pinpoint my ovulation time so we can plan conception better. So this is something you might want to consider as well. :)

Cgard will you tell me more about the PDF! Thanks for all the advice you have given me and my boyfriend

Well look this is my problem I had my period about 2 weeks ago but a week ago I got it again but this time it was a brownish color but the only time I see it is when I wipe:confused:!! I I am trying to get pregnant!! Is this a good or bad sign?my breast have been very sensitive and I hve been very angry and tired lately I have not been as relaxed as I usually am! Are these signs that I might be pregnant! When should I take a pregnancy test I have been like this for about a week already!!


p.s. I would aprreciate any advice give especially from women expecting or women who are already moms!!


Thanks cynthia

Okey its like this I have been feeling a little weird in my body lately! Just the other night I got sick after eating pizza (I never get sick):eek: ! I am having craving of so many different foods that I never eat any more then my breast are so sore :confused: I don't know why! I have read many books on pregnancy but even though these are signs I don't want to get excited about it this has been going on for about 4 to 5 day is it to soon to tak a pregnancy test!! :D

It depends. When was the last time you had your period? Are you at all late? Buy the home test and test yourself first thing in the morning with your first urination of the day. If it is negative, that doesn't mean you are not pregnant. It just may mean that it is too soon to tell.

Ruby is right on point. I would just like to point out that cravings don't start this early. It is usually not until around the third or fourth month, sometimes later that cravings start. Also, is it possible that you are due for your period and may have a stomach bug? Have you missed your period?

Please take a HPT using first morning urine.

To rudypitbull and to j_9 I just got off my period and I had sex a couple of days before my ovulation days! I know that you can be pregnant and still have your period but I will take a HPT in the morning thanks for your advice!! :D

Good luck to you dear. I truly hope you get what you are hoping for. I'll kee my fingers crossed for you!!

:eek: hello again well I just want to know what are the syntoms for the guys :confused: when their wife's are pregnant? Do they get moody, or do they get to a point where we can't stand them? Because me and my boyfriend have been getting on each others nerves latly!! I lve him very much but I just can't stand him these last couple of days!! :D

Thanks for any knowledge!!

Are you already pregnant? Or are you trying to figure out if you are by the fact that he is moody? The man's mood has nothing to do with determining if you are pregnant. I am assuming you are already pregnant... in this case, you're moodiness and emotions can transfer to your partner, but there is no medical connection or anything. My husband said I was a devil for the first 3 months and the last 2 months. But that was mainly because I was miserable and nesting... and he couldn't necessarily take my raging hormones. Hope that helps. :)

Typically if the guy has sympathy symptoms with his wife's pregnancy, it doesn't start right away, certainly not before knowing you are pregnant(from your title, I am guessing you aren't for sure pregnant yet). When they do have sympathy symptoms, they are usually the same symptoms you have, nausea, headache, cravings, etc. I am more inclined to wonder, however, if the moodiness between you is coming from wanting to conceive but not having any luck. It can put strain on even the strongest of relationships. Or perhaps it is something else going on outside the home. Stress at work even? No matter what the possibilities, couples are bound to get on each others nerves now and then. There are too many other possibilities here, to definitely say that it is because you are pregnant. Good luck and I hope you find your answers soon.

:confused: Its like this me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby! I took a HPT about a week ago it came out negative but I think it was a little to soon I had bearly got off this weird bleeding it wasn't my period because I had just got it the week before! I have sore breast and am very emotional the last couple of days and we have been fighting over the smallest things! Can anyone help me I would like to be pregnant? Should I take another test in a few days?


Thanks a lot for your help!! :D

Yes, by all means take a test in a week and stay calm :)

:confused: well here are a couple of questions I need answered! Should I ask him or go to the clinic and ask? These are for the clinic! What are my chances of getting pregnant every time we have sex? What are my consequences if I do end up pregnant and he don't want it? Should I douche if I might be pregnant? Can I handle being pregnant if I want it so bad? Is it safe for us to be play fighting if I might be pregnant? I have already taken a HPT it came out negative should I go to the clinic or should I wait till after my next period if I don't get it? Is it safe for him to be scaring me if pregnant? And this is for him should I ask him or NOT? If I gain weight will he leave me or not? Does he wonder if I am pregnant? Does his family wonder if I am pregnant? Would they like it if I end up pregnant?(this would be the first grandchild to his mother and father and first niece or nephew to his brother and sister)is he ready to have a baby? Does he think I am ready to be pregnant? I have had the syntoms of: tender breast, nauseas, back pain I never had, can't sleep, but feel tired all day, and I have been extremely thirsty the last week. I already took a HPT and it came out negative I plan to take another one at the beginning of next month after my missed period if it don't come!

Thanks for all and any advice that can be given

thanks for all and any advice that can be given

Wow, yes you do have lots of questions. Unfortunately not all of them can be answered.

I will do my best to answer most of them for you.

- Maybe it is best you go to the clinic yourself just to find out, that is my opinion.

- The more you have sex, does not guarantee a better chanch of getting pregnant. The reason being is that most women only are fertile and can only get pregnant 3 days in a month.

- If you do end up pregnant and he does not want it but you do. It is your choice whether you want to keep the baby or not. Not his.

- Never ever, never ever douche. Whether you are pregnant or not.

- Play fighting, I would say no. Many doctors say that what ever activities you have done before pregnancy you can continue while your pregnant. I on the other hand think very differently. I believe that you need to be careful of the activities that you do.

- When is your period due? If it is past due for five to seven days then take another hpt test, but there have been cases of negatives really being positives with some women. This would be the time that you need to go to the clinic and get a blood test.

- Just to be on the safe side and just to make sure that your lifestyle is healthy. No smoking, No drinking, cut out any caffiene products. Also you should start prenatels just in case you are pregnant or maybe you just want to get the results first?

- What do you mean is it okay for him to scar you? What exactly does that mean?

- Pregnancy and weight gain go together. If this boyfriend can not handle you gaining weight and he decides to leave you. Quite honestly your better off without him, but do not concern yourself with that, and if you have to ask that question there must be problems already?

- I do not know about the family or how they will react. Each family is different. No matter who accepts or who does not, really does not count for much because it is you that needs to make the decision about the baby.

- I think it is also best to get a complete physical from a doctor. They can check all your blood work and other symptoms just to make sure it is nothing else going on.

:o well me and my boyfriend want to have a baby! But up till now we haven't been able to. His sister is pregnant and I was hoping to give his mother and father their first grandchild but I don't know if I'm pregnant and if I am who is going to have the baby first I really want to be pregnant I am going to make an appointment tomorrow morning with my doctor about trying to get pregnant or if I already am pregnant! Should I take prenatal vitamins will this help my chances of getting pregnant? :) well thanks for everyone's advice in the past and anyone that helps me in the future!:cool:


:D we are almost certain that I might be pregnant this time I hope I am!! :D

If you think your pregnant. It is best to start taking prenatels right away.

Well I don't know what kind of prenatels to take do you have any suggestions! Over the counter brands of course cause I don't have an appointment yet but thanks for all your help

Materna is the ones that I know.

All the ones here are over the counter. If they are behind we just ask and they give it to you.

I guess it is different everywhere.

Joe

You should be taking prenatals before even becoming pregnant, but the sooner you start them the better. I take the ones from GNC. They have their own, they don't cost much, and they are flavorless. I used to take their women's vitamins and they have a flavor to them that you would burp and taste (gross). What makes you think you may be pregnant now? It really doesn't matter who gives the first grandchild. As long as all the little babies are healthy everyone will be elated! Good luck and hopefully you are already pregnant. If you aren't please don't stress yourself out. It will happen when it's supposed to.

Yes start taking them now, regardless of whether you are pregnant or not. You can get them anywhere... most are about the same. Then once you go to the doctor, get a prescrip for them. I agree with automansgirl- the timing is not important. The grandparents will be equally as elated over the second grandchild as the first... besides if she is already pregnant, she will most likely go first...

Prenatals are often not prescribed by doctors (at least around here) unless you are pregnant, but still take a daily multivitamin. My doctor actually recommended flinstones chewables, 1 a day, because they will not be too powerful for the fetus if you become pregnant but they deliver the necessary vitamins to help your body. Also, she suggested taking a folic acid supplement, which apparently helps with the brain development of the baby.

:p well today I went to the bathroom and I notice a little blood on my panties so I put a tampon on then when I went to change it it was clean is this a sign that I'm starting my period or that I'm having implantation bleeding my periods never start like this I usually get headaches before I start my period this is very unusual:confused: and I can't go to the doctor till next Wednesday when I have my appointment for a pregnancy test at the clinic I have already taken 2 HPT and both came out negative :( but I still haven't got my period and I'm a week late is this anything I should be concern about?


Thanks again and I already started taking prenatel vitamins!! :p

It is good that you have started your prenatels just in case. I would say any sign of bleeding should be checked out. Even call the doctors office to let them know. So they are aware. Or even get it checked out sooner. At the same time it is normal to have very minute amounts of bleeding. You yourself said it is a tiny bit. Best wishes for you and when you get all checked out.

Joe

Thanks for your help! I will call the doctor on Monday because they are all closed today well thanks for all your good wishes!!

It could be implantation bleeding. Also, just to let you know, I took a test at 7 days late and it came back negative. Took another one at 10 days late and it finally came back positive. You could still be pregnant, you just have to be patient. Besides, that's all you do when you are pregnant anyway! Now that I'm pregnant I feel like time is moving so slowly! I know that I will look back on it and realize that it flew by, though. I hope you get that positive you've been looking for. Just try and stay relaxed until you go to the doc this week. Good luck!!

Thanks for all the advice!!

:confused: well the last couple of months I've been trying to get pregnant and I think I am!! :D well I was suppose to go to the doctor today but he had to cancel because he got the flu or at least that's what they told me! I have been felling kind of strange lately... I'm always tired but can't seem to fall asleep at night! I am bleeding on and off every day there's sometimes I go to the bathroom and I'm bleeding and then I go 5 to 10 minutes later and I'm not! I have been using the bathroom more then I usually was my breast are getting extremely sore every day my nipples look bigger(well that's what my boyfriend and I have notice) I have another doctors appointment next Wednesday!!


I would appreciate any answers before then!! :)

Thanks

These TWO possible answers here
1/ You ARE pregnant
2/ You are NOT pregnant

Go and get an HPT and do some tests.

Well I already took a hpt but it came out negative and then they gave me some advice and told me to make a doctors appointment! I hope it's the first one thought!!

Well I know this might sound weird but what kind of doctor should I make an appointment with! I might be pregnant and would like to find out I have spottings :eek: and my breast are sore my nipples look bigger then usual and I am always feeling sick after I eat and in the mornings I never want to get out of bed I just want to sleep all day but I have to force myself out of bed!! Me and my boyfriend are trying to have a baby we have been trying for a while I already took a pregnancy test and it came out negative but I took the test to soon!

This would be my first child if I am pregnant I'm so excited and my boyfriend is so happy that we might be having a child together! Any information will be helpful!! :p

You're trying to get pregnant and you don't know what kind of doctor you need to see? You should have probably researched this a little more before you started trying. Make an appointment with your family physician first and have them refer you to a good obstetrician for you and your baby.

Well I did plenty of research but then my computer crashed and lost everything so I had to start from scratch again but I don't have a family physician to make an appointment with when we get sick and my mom can't treat it she take us to the emergency room yeah I know its kind of weird but that's how she did it! I have been trying to find a physician but they can be so expencive and I have to wait till I have medicade to go to the doctor! Are these syntoms of pregnancy?

Sweetie, if you cannot afford a visit to the doctor I am certain you're not ready to have a baby. A baby takes A LOT of work and while there's medicaid and other programs of that sort, they will NOT cover everything. You also shouldn't be relying on your mom still to take you to the doctor if you're PLANNING a pregnancy. You seriously need to evaluate things before you plan on bringing a baby into this world.

Well I don't depend on my mother anymore I have been living on my own since I was 16 years old and even though I do depend on medicaid I also depend on my boyfriend we know how much this will cost we have already checked on doctors and we are willing to make sacrifices for us to start our own family we have support on my side and his side of the families! I know I am ready I have done all the research possible and I am just confirming all my research from women who are mothers already to make sure we have all our information correct! Thanks for all your concerns lovemymalipoo but I know I am ready to start a family

LuvMyMaltipoo is correct, in this case you should see a gyno/obgyn. If you don't have the money to get in there for a check up, it'll be hard to get in for those monthly appointments(if pregnant), so I hope you are avidly trying to get on medicaid right now. In the meantime, go to a planned parenthood, or see if you can work out a payment schedule with a gyno/obgyn. Good luck

Well I have been having some very weird things that are not normal for me!:eek: my breast are sore and one looks and feels bigger then the other one! I haven't been able to sleep for about month and I had a small bleeding for about two days then it went away then I started bleeding again me and my boyfriend have been trying to have a baby for some time know I have tried to get an appointment with my doctor about this and he said I have to be at least 2 weeks late on my period can anybody give me some advice
(my last period was on march 12):)


Thank you for any advice given:p

I would say for you to hang in there for a few more days. If you don't come on soon make that appointment or do a pregnancy test. Good luck.

12 questions all on the same subject/issue merged.

If you need medical assistance you will first need a diagnosis of pregnancy... so find an ob/gyn (which you should already have as you should be getting yearly exams). You will either need to have taken a HPT which came out positive, or tell them you are X number of weeks late and the HPT is negative. Either way, the dr will most likely want to see you. Then get a note on a prescription pad from the dr if you are pregnant, stating your expected due date. You will need to provide this as evidence of pregnancy to be eligible for medical assistance. Let your dr know you are applying, and they will hold all charges for the first few visits, as they will expect that medical assistance will cover them. Medical assistance will be back dated to your first doctor's appt, so keep the date handy. (have the dr write it on the paper that states your due date.) You will be covered for 6 weeks post-partum, the baby will be covered for as long as you earn less than the maximum allowed in your state. The most important thing you can do is get medical care for yourself.

Thanks for your advice vlee I appreciate it you are 1 of several people that have not been judging but giving advice thanks once again to everybody who has not judged be for being so concerned about my pregnancy

Have sex two weeks after your period and lie on your back while having sex so the sperm can get through the cervix. Also after he has ejaculated... while lying on your back have your hips elavated... because if you get up quickly the sperm will come out,stay elavated for 10 min.
That's the best baby making position. Well good luck. :)
