Hello everyone! I am new here and joined because I need other females' advice and thoughts regarding my situation.
I am 31 years old I have 3 children and have had 2 c-sections and a v-back. For the last two months I have been having symptoms of pregnancy and never even put it all together until a friend asked me yesterday when I was due-this friend has known me for years and knows I am overweight and has never once said I look preggers!
So I am going to list the symptoms I am having when I noticed them then tell you the rest of my problem and would appreciate your thoughts on the matter both good and bad.
I have had an increase in breast size that I noticed around May 6th
Olfactory overload the last two weeks
Increase in vein size and color on the breasts
Hip pain
Vision changes, slight but there
Constipation
Tugging and pulling in place of PMS cramps
Nothing tastes right for the last 3 weeks now
Cravings for the last month
Oily hair for about 3 weeks
Change in skin and acne
I have gained 5 pounds
I have been weepy, angsty, and different than my normal moods as of the last month and a half
Last month I was exhausted and couldn't seem to sleep enough this month I can barely sleep
Increased urination without an increase in fluid intake or diuretics
Vivid weird dreams
Increase in CM
Vomited my favorite CHinese food last week
Smells make me sick
I have been belching and passing gas like a man on a pirate ship after too much indulgence
All of these symptoms have occurred since early May and my last AF was on April 17th. I have never used ovulation methods before today but using the DPO method each symptom meets with me being pregnant...as I said previously though I have a problem...11 years ago I had my tubes ringed!!!
My stomach has changed shape and being higher and tighter but where my c-section scar is has not popped out, I can't remember if it did with my third or not. I realize that it might not be anything but the math and the symptoms have me freaked and due to the holiday I have no way to obtain a HPT until Thursday at the earliest!
Someone just smack me and tell me I am insane or tell me I am not the only one this has happened to so I know I am not alone!
Thanks!

Also I forgot to mention that I am the poster child for fertile myrtle jokes as I used protection and birth control and still conceived my first two children and my third child was conceived after 3 separate DR.s had declared my husband sterile. Oh yes and my body rejected an IUD previously.

I got my BFP yesterday at 11DPO
Have had an incredibly busy week so unlike last month I wasn't noting any symptoms down, but there are a couple of things that I did notice.
From 2 DPO - I was a bit emotional from 2 to 8 DPO, but I had just put this down to my BF being away for a week, so didn't really put it down to symptoms until today
From 8 DPO - AF type cramps as if it was coming early (not due until 15 DPO)
From 9 DPO - the small of my back has been aching
9 DPO - Was more tired than usual from 10pm
10 DPO - Could have slept in the middle of the day
That's it really, but I do have to say the tiredness hasn't been that noticable yet. If anything I have been making slightly less trips to the ladies, I've not noticed any extra thirst, any strage tastes, any increase in my apaetite, BBs hurt exactly the same as last month.
My lines have been strong on ICs, FRERs and CB digi says 2-3. I only tested as my stressful week was over and on getting home I realised I hadn't done any tests for a while so just did it to get one out of my system. I was seriously stunned when I saw a line and was shaking so much I couldn't hold my camera steady!
GL to all the ladies on here trying, I started as I am 32 and expected it to take much longer, but we have been successful on our third month, so feel very lucky.
Any to any ladies who are interested we actually used preseed for the first time this month.
Struggling to type as I have my fx'd for a sticky bean!

Woo hooooo, i got my 
this morning!! 
Hubby bet me $20 it'd be positive, he dipped the test into a cup of my FMU & the + line came up within a minute, darker than the control line!
I will list my symptoms I've had til now, i have a huuuuuuge list actually (cos i've been writing every little thing down), but i think it would make the post too long, hehehe. I will TRY to list all the main things:
- Ov. Day: I had a really bad cold that day, & lots of EWCM, that night i got a big blob of pink EWCM with tiny streaks of blood in it, so that must've been Ov. bleeding. Had lots of cramps & twinges that day. Also, we BD the night before, & hadn't for a week beforehand, so i think that was night!
- 2 dpo: had lots of lower stomach cramps & lower back cramps, they were like AF cramps! Started getting hot flushes at diff. times of the day.
- 3 dpo: Still getting cramps & twinges in lower stomach & lower back, BD that morning & it felt different down there! Nipples started to get sensitive. Started getting twinges in cervix (could feel it inside) & vag, small pains now & then.
- 4 dpo: Boobs really started hurting more, still lots of twinges/cramps in lower stomach & back, also in ovary areas. Car broke down & we had to walk home to get petrol, luckily we broke down close to home, but it was an hour's walk. I'm quite fit, but this walk nearly killed me, i was puffing the whole way & my stomach felt so tight & painful, now i know why!
- 5 dpo: Still some twinges & small pains in lower stomach & back, but also some cramps/pains in groin & above pubic bone & in uterus area. That night tried to sleep on my stomach like usual - owww! Boobs hurt big time, like someone had punched them both, went straight onto my back!
- 6 dpo: Woke up & boobs were still sore from the night before when i laid on them! Not many cramps/twinges during the day, only some small ones, but that night had my first major cramp, felt like an AF cramp.
- 7 to 11 dpo: Not much, symptoms dropped off a bit, sore boobs still, & had some intense twinges/fluttering in lower stomach between ovaries & uterus areas, not painful, but intense enough to make me grab my stomach until it passed, weird pressure.
12 dpo: Felt a bit nauseous then felt better once i ate. AF-type cramps really started today, kept going to the loo armed with a pad cos i was so sure it was going to be AF, but i wiped & there was nothing. Boobs still sore, starting to get pains in armpits & down my arms a bit too.
13 dpo: Woke at about 2-3am from another AF-type cramp, felt like a mix of an AF cramp & diarrhoea cramp (yucky!), went to loo but nothing came out! Took a while to get back to sleep. Woke up at 8am for work, & boobs were really sore. All day got the AF/runs-type cramps, made me feel nauseous every time, they were strong & felt terrible.
14 dpo: Woke up 3 times this morning, at 2am, 4am & 6-7am, the first time at around 2am i got one of those big cramps, went to loo & wiped - nothing! 2nd time at around 4am I woke from a big cramp, curled up from the pain, managed to go to sleep once it went. Woke up again at 6-7am from another big cramp, went to loo again, wiped & nothing there! Had cramps on & off all day. We BD that night, i thought for sure it would bring AF on the next morning.
15 dpo: Went to loo that morning, wiped & STILL no AF, was so confused! Had those terrible cramps all day again, went to the loo constantly cos I thought AF was going to turn up any minute! Boobs were really sore all day, felt bruised inside & even a cramp-feeling on inside of cleavage, no blue veins on them though. Was very bloated & stomach hurt everywhere, even abs, was in a bad mood all day.
16 dpo: Woke up about 6 times from about 1-2am onwards, first time i woke up cos i felt REALLY hot & took all the covers off, then kept getting the big cramps that kept me awake. Got the terrible cramps all day on & off, somehow they felt even worse, like really bad AF/runs cramps, i'd feel really nauseous like i was either going to chuck up or get the runs, but once i went to the loo & wiped, no AF! This happened all day, I was really grouchy as a result.
17 dpo: Woke up at 3:40am with the mother of all cramps, thought i was miscarrying or something, the pain was so great that i broke out into a sweat (was already hot when i woke up), went to the loo cos i thought AF had finally arrived, wiped & NOTHING! Had cramps all day again, felt hungry & nauseous again, the cramps made me feel sick too, & i was REALLY grouchy al day too. About 6pm got AF-type cramps in lower stomach & also twinges of pain in my cervix, i thought AF was on her way. Went grocery shopping & a new symptom hit me - i could smell EVERYTHING! Even usually non-smelly stuff like pasta & taco shells & cereals, soo weird! I thought it was all in my head & didn't mention it to DH.
18 dpo (today): Woke up & realised i hadn't had any cramps thru the night, thought for sure AF would be here, peed in cup & hubby dipped test in, BFP within a minute, i was sooo shocked! Hubby won $20 & said he knew all along, lol.
Also some extras:
- From Ov. day my cervix has been high & stayed high, but only in the last 4-5 days its gotten hard
- Since Ov. day i haven't had much CM, but what little that i've had has been white & lotiony
- I've been bloated since Ov. Day, but moreso in the last 3-5 days
- Have had abdominal/lower back twinges since Ov. Day, but only got really bad/intense in the last 4-5 days
Haha, long post after all!
Hope that all helps someone, I still can't believe its happened, this was only our 2nd month of trying, I didn't think it would happen right away since I was on the pill for 10 yrs, i was told it would take at least a year, I'm glad to prove the naysayers wrong! 
Lots of

Holy cow! Was reading through this thread for the first time about 20 minutes ago. I had some of the symptoms.. the random minimal (but there) shooting pain through my breasts for the past few days, last night I woke up in the middle of the night with what I thought was a cold... and the past 2 days my bowels have been moving what seems to be every 2 seconds. I saw some of the rest of you had these symptoms, so I went and hurry and tested just to see..
well.. looked negative, but wasn't very bright or distinct at all.
Then just now got a call from the dr (I went to get some lab work done because I haven't had my period for 7 months and we're TTC and I'm too impatient to see if it's coming back or what) and he said everything was normal except my HCG was 3.1. Very low still but wants me back next week to see if it's climbing!! I might just be in the lucky ones group!!!!
WOW!! I can't even explain how ironic all this is, that i JUST did read through this thread and then I get that phone call!!!
