Q: Need Help, Am I Pregnant?

Confused

So confused, this is my first time on this forum but I have been on others and got no responce.

We have not been trying ttc, we only use condoms as protection and last month the condom came off twice on different days.

I am 35 and I have had 2 children already, so if I am pregnant it'll be 13 years since my last. So I forget what all my symptoms were Embarassed

my last normal period was july 20th-25th, in august I was waiting for af to come on the 20th, a week went by and nothing. On the 27th I though af was here but it was only brown spotting. The next following days I had brown and red spotting off and on, sometimes only when I whipped.

After all that was done, on the 31st I started cramping on both sides like I was going to start my af. This has lasted for a week now, off and on cramps. Now my nipples are sensitive and my bbs fill fuller, I am gassy and starting to get heart burn, oh yea and I have been yawning alot too.

I took a hpt on the 1st and it was a -. But I do remember getting that when I had my first 2 children.

So what do you all think?

By the way, I have a doc appointment on the 13th and I am going to have her check to see if I am or if its just my hormones.

Thank you Confused

Those definitely sound like pregnancy symptoms, it's a good thing you're getting checked out by your doctor on the 13th, if you weren't that would have been my recommendation.

Amaroarts,
did you mean that with both of your other pregnancy's you got a -? Just curious because you have the same symptoms as me and your cycle is about a week ahead of mine and i've gotten one true faint positive and two digitals that said not pregnant, but when I popped them off they had two lines on the strip thing. I always doubt myself, but I know I am so i'm just curious to know if I don't get a dark positive by now then i'm not loosing my mind and it's normal? I can't get into the doc until october 1st now. So i'm just waiting it out until I get a real positive on my test. Then I will feel much more relaxed about this whole thing.

Pitterpatter,

yes this is true, on my first two pregnancies I test - till I was about 7 weeks along and that is when I went to the doc's and they tested me(urine) and it was .

So I am praying that we have the same thing going on. My dh told me yesterday that my bbs are getting bigger plus when I feel my tummy its a little hard.

I might go out and buy another test to make sure but I will see doc on the 13th and see if they will do a blood test.

~*~*~*~babydust~*~*~*~*~ all over everyone!

Keep me updated okay, I guess you can say we're waiting buddies, lol Smile

Yes, my tummy is starting to feel kinda tough too! Do you have veins growing all over? Mine is like a huge road map all over my body. Last night I notced the veins on my face too. Don't know if I like that too much. I've been extremely constipated. I don't think i've gone #2 for like three days now. Normally atleast once a day i'll go. Isn't it weird that our bodies can change so fast? Anyway's maybe our babies will be born around the same time! Laughing

Yeah, i'd say there is a high chance that you are pregnant. You are too young for this to be menopause. Test and let us know!

Pitterpatter:

i also have noticed the veins all over, hmm maybe its a real good sign and yes constipation is kicking in so now I feel bloated.

Linuxchique:

i was thing it might be menopause but like you said, I am too young for that, my mom didn't get menopause till she was in her 50's. I really do feel preggo so let's pray we all are and thank you for your reply Smile :d

i am going to hold out till monday to have a test do, that's when I see the doc, hoping and praying for a little girl hehehe, we have 3 boys and one girl between to both of us hehehe dh keeps throwing off boys Wink but either way I would love to have one more.
