Resisting the urge

....to take a pregnancy test. Ive been sick to my stomach for few daysBut today I started getting a backache in my lower back and the really strange cramps. They werent like AF cramps...more like that pain you getWhen you run too much. And the top of my stomach is sore, like ive done Crunches. Ive never had these before AF. AF isnt due for another week.I know, i gotta stop over analyzing everything...but still. Too early to Test i think. Thanks for listening to my rambling!

  • I completely understand.  This was me last month.  I was having cramps a week before AF was due and strange pains off and on.  I kept thinking I've never had this before so maybe.  I can say that I never knew cramping was a part of all this.  And right before AF I was having all sorts of PMS symptoms so I thought for sure AF would show.  If you can hold off until AF is due, then test.  I took a test a week early because of the cramping and it was negative.

  • I bought the cheapie tests of Amazon so I test more than I should. That being said, I get the same cramps you seem to have. I never had them before this year, but for the past 4+ months, I've been getting them. It drove me crazy the first month because it made me think I was pregnant.

    Joy goes between having hers every month and anywhere up to three months.  Combined with the fact that she has just a little bit of a stomach that's firm anyway and it drives me nuts!

    Makes me want to stop having sex sometimes.

    Well, you're going to officially start trying in 2 weeks, so it's the perfect time to buy them! I originally bought just pregnancy tests. Then I decided to try OPKs and bought a combo pack of OPKs and HPTs.

    At first I told DH we sould just see what happens, no charting or anything. But then last night I caved and told him I had to take my temps, I NEED to know whats going on lol. I dont know how he is going to deal with me soon lol. I may talk to him tonight about how expensive tests are from the store and how cheap the ones are from amazon.

  • These were the ones we have.  I still have all my preg. tests since I don't use them.  It was my first time buying them and I wasn't sure if I could just get OPKs alone.
  • I talked to DH and bought the Wondfo tests tonight! He said we might as well order them now. Ahhh its all becoming so real!

  • What happened to just having a lot of sex and seeing what happens?

  • I'd say try not to think about it, but it's really hard not too.  :)  I agree with everyone else, it wouldn't hurt to buy in bulk on Amazon.  Especially since you are going to start trying/not preventing.  I'd finally convinced myself that I missed my period due to stress (it's happened before) and boy was I wrong.  I'm not saying it'll be the same with you.  But maybe just focus on any stress in your life and trying to relieve it.  That might help take your mind off of maybe being pregnant.
