Waiting SUCKS!!!
So, they call it the "two week wait"... for me it should be termed the 3-4 week wait. Here's the story. I still haven't gotten my periods back since I'm still nursing Liam (he is 6 months this week). He's weaned down to just two feedings a day which is about what I was down to with my daughter when my cycles started to kick back into action. Just over two weeks ago, I was pretty sure that I ovulated (I tend to get crampy when I ovulate and had a little EWM). We weren't planning on trying for the next one until the fall, but when my hubby tried for sex that night I thought "why not....". Now, I'm a bit of a fertil myrtle and should have known that this would probably result in me getting pregnant, but I guess I didn't really think it would. With both of my previous pregnancies, I had symptoms (sore boobs, and crampy/ bloaty feeling) for a few weeks before I could get a positive pregnancy test. My symptoms actually start within days of ovulation and I don't get positive home tests until at least a week passed my missed period. So, just like in the past, about four days after I thought I ovulated, I suddenly felt like I'd been punched in the chest and I feel so boated/ crampy. I took a test today, fully expecting that it would be negative this "early" (and it was), but it is still just so frustrating. Just like the other two times, I'm "sure" that I'm pregnant, but waiting to find out for "real" just drives me crazy! I end up feeling like I must just be a crazy person and I'm "imagining" all of these symptoms, but deep down I "just know". Amazing how my body gives me such an obvious answer, and yet I refuse to believe it until I have two lines on that stupid little stick. I'm going to try to wait until Friday before I test again to save myself some agrivation. Grrr!! I'd be truly stunned if I'm not pregnant. Damn wait! I can't believe there are people who can get a positive test before their missed period! I guess that is making it worse this time, I don't even have a time when I'm "supposed" to get my period to help make me feel less crazy. I guess time will tell...
I hear ya, I totally knew with my son almost immediately, even though they say that is impossible that soon, and I knew this time within a week...but just waited on the test. My period is not even due until the 9th, but first response just gave me a positive, so no doubts now.

Wow! You must be going nuts waiting. Are you hoping for a positive? I hope it turns out to be what you want... either way, it'll be for the best!
I'll be anxious to see what happens. But, I'm sure you're right... you know your body.
I'm a little jealous too. I (kind of) would've liked a 4th, but I'm too old. Had the Mirena IUD placed last Friday.,... : (
Good Luck Paula!!!
Best to you!

Linda,
At first I was a little freaked out, Liam will only be 14 months... but now that I've gotten used to the idea I'd be disappointed (and super surprised) if I turned out to not be pregnant. I'm really hoping to have 4, so although this was sooner than we expected, it is still a blessing.... but let's not get too far ahead of myself... first I need to confirm my suspicions!
