Baby wish
Your experiences
Chris
Hi everyone!
I'm new to this forum, and first of all, I want to say how much I love it! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, which isn't always the case!
I'd love to ask about your experiences. I'm 26 years old, and I stopped taking the pill back in October 2017 because we really want kids. So far, my cycle has been regular, averaging 29 days. Recently, though, I've had a few "symptoms" that really give me hope that I might be pregnant this month. I'd like to share them with you and ask if you recognize any of these from previous pregnancies:
- frequent headaches (daily)
- extreme fatigue, even after getting enough sleep
- sudden bouts of severe dizziness
- decreased appetite
- heartburn, mainly after eating (this tends to last for a while)
- a bit of nausea during and after meals
- mild cramping in my lower abdomen
- frequent urination
I know your body can play tricks on you, so I'm trying to stay as grounded as possible. But still, I have a good feeling about this month, though I can't quite say why. Maybe all these symptoms are just coincidental and my body is indeed playing tricks on me, but I'm really curious to hear outside opinions.
I expect my period this coming Thursday, and if I don't get it, I'll take a test on Saturday morning.
Thanks so much in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences!
Lots of love, C xxx

Exciting, counting down to Saturday.. I was just so tired. Well, and those symptoms are so similar to getting your period, you can't do much with them. Good luck!
Ps it's very cozy here indeed

Always hard to say because a lot of symptoms can mean something else. I hope your intuition is right! Why wait until Saturday to test anyway? Just out of curiosity, of course. -

I haven't taken a test yet because I'm indeed very aware that it could also be the case that my body is playing tricks on me, so it seems better to wait a little longer. My expected period is tomorrow. If I don't get my period tomorrow and Friday, I'll take a test on Saturday morning. I have to work all day Friday, so that doesn't seem like the ideal day to take a test. -

That's so true. It's really impressive of you to have so much patience, hehe. I also had a strong feeling that I was pregnant and just couldn't wait anymore. Luckily, I tested positive quite early. Those were exciting days! I also had some ailments that turned out to be early pregnancy symptoms. -

Yeah, I find these days really stressful! Of course, I’m hoping so much that I don’t get my period and that I can take a pregnancy test on Saturday morning, but on the other hand, I’m also afraid of another disappointment...
