My name is Lisa, I am 31. My husband is 36. We are newly married and trying to conceive. However, we have the added difficulty in that he works in Kuwait and I live in the states. We have planned my next visits to Kuwait to be timed with my predicted ovulation - which I have been tracking periods for the last year and noting some signs of ovulation. We are newlyweds and actively started trying on our honeymoon last month. I am now in the dreaded waiting weeks. I should have ovulated on June 27th. My expected period is July 12. I've never been pregnant, neither of us have children but really want them.
I have taken two pregnancy tests...only because I couldn't contain myself. I tested at 3 days post ovulation and at 9 days. However, I do realize this is probably too early to test. So, now I just pray that there won't be a period. I've got a few more days to wait, but with every bit of my being I am praying for pregnant. I had a Leep procedure in 2006 and there was a lot of scar tissue, so much that they said I might have a difficult time conceiving. However, I like to think that because I do have regular periods that I can conceive.
I don't know if my mind and body so want to be pregnant that my feeling different is all in my head. So far I have noted the following:
-Incredibly tired, so tired, feel like falling asleep at work, after I wake up want to sleep more, on the way home from work...just so tired.
-Not much of an appetite
-like there is a lump in my throat, not nauseated, but not normal
-thirsty, much more than normal
-vivid dreams...crazy vivid
I know a couple of weeks is probably too early to notice anything, so I assume it is all in my head.
Does anyone here remember the first couple of weeks?
Did you have symptoms?
I am taking vitamins and have been for a few months. However, I switched to some chewables that contain the nutrients I need---I compared them to the prenatal I was taking. I figure taking a chewable is better for me as I don't feel well at taking the others and so I know I am at least getting nutrients.
I would appreciate any feedback. Waiting is so hard and then if there is the disappointment of not being pregnant we have to wait until my next trip to Kuwait in August.
