    Is it just wishful thinking?
    Last month I thought maybe I could be pregnant, I had all of the symptoms and I was even late by 2 days. I took a few tests and they were all negative, I then had the worst cramps of my life followed by a large amount of blood and then my period started. It lasted its normal 5 days and then I was fine other then the fact that I was a little disappointed that I wasn't pregnant. I am not sure as to when exactly I ovulate since my period has been slightly irregular for a while now. I was thinking about doing the whole temperature taking thing but haven't started that yet. Anyway to my questions... I'm sure that I've ovulated by now, and my husband and I have been trying to conceive. Yesterday I had very slight pinkish red discharge, slight cramping (but not like period cramps), however the thing that confused me was there was a small amount of tissue or uterine lining or something that came out while I was using the restroom. I've been feeling very exhausted the past few days, my breasts are a little tender, and I've been nauseaous a few times but not as much as last month. Is this just wishful thinking? I know I should probably not think about it and just wait another week or whatever but its so hard to do! Any thoughts or suggestions or advice? Thanks!!

    Its hard to wait, but that's really all you can do.

    I recommend reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It talks about temping and charting... and gives you tools to predict ovulation and recognize symptoms of pregnancy, etc. Even with irregular cycles, this will teach you how to recognize what's happening with your body.
