Ok, so this is the age-old question... am I pregnant?
I have read many other posts but every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. My husband and I are hoping, but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket. I just need some advice.
The first day of my last menstrual cycle was the 9th of June. My husband and I tracked my LH surge (well I did, he just wanted to get to the sex part). I missed my period. Took a hpt test (July 8th)and it was negative. So didn't think anything about it. Then began to feel bloated. Ugh. Not too bad, figured it was period related. Never had any bleeding, but did have a sticky discharge. Went to the free clinic and got a blood test (July 11th). Results were 2% (Nurse stated I needed 2,000%).
Then came two other symptoms. Sore breasts (comes and goes, some days really bad and very sensitive... even through my clothes and a blanket) and slight cramping in the lower abdomen, sometimes just one side, sometimes in the middle (the cramping is usually very mild and just feels like I've done too many situps... but I don't do situps because my nurse told me if you're trying to get pregnant and in your first trimester, you should not do any exercises on your back because it can increase chances of miscarriage).
Then a few days ago, something really odd for me happened. Hadn't eaten since breakfast and ended up waiting for my husband to hurry his slow butt in the shower so we could go out to eat. Alluvasudden I got the worse heartburn I'd ever had! Tried to find where the hubs had hid the antacids and when my husband walked by, I just about blew chunks because his cologne was so strong! (Usually I can't smell his cologne because it's a fairly weak scent). Felt better after about an hour and went to the restaurant. Had crab ragoon (one of my favorite dishes) and it tasted sour! My husband said it tasted fine and he ate several of them. (He did throw up later, so that might have been why)...
So I took another hpt and it was still negative. Today, really in a pissy mood because my boobs really hurt. I did some reading on another forum (one that's no longer active babycenter.com) and learned that there are several women who didn't test positive until around 12 and 14 weeks. If I am pregnant (and I try to stay busy so I won't think about it and have a psuedo-pregnacy) I would be around 6.5 weeks.
Any advice from anyone?
