A little back story I guess... I'm 24, married, and up until May I had been on BCP (Alesse). We had a "pregnancy scare"... I really shouldn't even call it a scare because it's not like we didn't want kids, it was just sooner than planned. It was then when we decided I should just go off of birth control. If I was pregnant then I could just have to deal with not getting any mat benefits, but a baby was more important. I would get nauseous with smells, random mood swings, my stomach would be upset... we were convinced I was pregnant. Needless to say I got my AF about two weeks later. I was heartbroken.
1st month TTC was no better. I'd still get nauseous during TWW, my nipples were extremely sore... again, we were sure that would be the month and again we were surprised when my AF showed up. Although this time it was only here for three days and medium-heavy flow (I'm usually a 5-7 medium flow kind of gal) After the 3rd day it just stopped.
This month we started getting anxious. My husband is worried he's infertile, even though both of his brothers took well over a year before they were blessed with their first born children. This month has been different from the previous two, ad I'm really not sure what to think. I don't want to get my hopes up and be let down again, but everything is looking fairly positive. I O'd on CD 13. I only started charting last week but I've had a temperature spike (CD21:96.7 - CD24: 97.3), my uterus area feels full (I don't know how else to describe it), feeling a little nausea this month but not as bad, had cramping for the past two days and during CD16 I had cramping on my left side only. I had some extremely light spotting last night too! Tested this morning and got a negative, although it might be too soon still. AF is expected on Monday.
Any opinions out there ladies?
