Q: Pregnancy sign ?

My husband and I have been ttc for about a year now. I have been off of birth control (ring) since April 2008. Its been a frustrating year (as I'm sure most of you know how that goes). We decided to stop trying so hard, we were using ovulation kits and a few other things. So for the past 3 months we've just stopped "trying" and are trying to let nature take its course. I finally stopped taking 10 pt every month (it was getting pretty depressing). I have this feeling this month though...I just feel like it has finally happened. I want to see what you all think.

So, my past period started on March 10th, so it is still too early to test...I want to wait till I'm at least late. I haven't been getting sick or anything drastic but have been kinda puenney feeling and nauseous every once in a while. I have noticed excess saliva over the last couple of weeks, and the new thing is swollen hands. I know the swollen hands thing is not typical...has anyone heard of that as a pregnancy symptom this early on? It is really wierd...I find myself all swollen and I have to take my wedding rings off because it gets really uncomfortable. My bbs have been swore for about a week now...but I can not ever tell if that is any different than pms. They are swore on the inside but not really sensitive to the touch. Usually by this time I would be having cramps but I haven't YET.

I know this is just going to be everyone's opinions and it doesn't mean I am pregnant just because someone says I MIGHT be...I just felt like I had to talk to someone out there. I think my family and friends are tired of hearing me pick apart all the symptoms of pregnancy. I haven't done that in a while...they will think I'm regressing LOL. Surprised)

It would be too early for those kinds of symptoms though. Since you have been trying to get pregnant for so long, you are well aware we trick ourselves into what we think we should be feeling if we were pregnant.

It takes less pregnancy hormones to trigger a pregnancy test than it does to create those pregnancy symptoms. Most women's first symptom is a missed period.

Good luck.
