hey, i was wondering if someone could help me...me and my husband have been TTC for about 4 months now and we had sex on all the days leading up to my ovulation and now im 10dpo and i noticed about a week ago that my cervix is extremly low...i can feel it even if i just put my fingers in a little bit. also my breasts are EXTREMLEY sore ...hurts to even touch. i had some mild cramping the other day on one side...i should be expecting my period on the 17-18th....no implantaion bleeding yet...could i be pregnant?
thank you! :-)
thank you! :-)
actuallly i just found out that i am 3 weeks pregnant!!
Congratulations!!! :-D
Congrats! I wish you a healthy and safe pregnancy!!! Welcome to the Expecting Mom's club!
thank you both so much...im 19 and in the military so this experience is an exciting but scarey one. i work right on the water in the coast guard and im just nervous of all the strenious labor we do. i still dont think i had implantation bleeding yet. My perdiod isnt due for another 3 days and i already had 3 positive pregnancy tests. what should i be expecting in the early weeks to come? %-)
Expect a lot. I never got morning sickness with any of my pregnancies (I was strangely lucky) however here are a few sites to look over. Also pick up some books like "what to expect when you are expecting" and talk to other expectant mothers.

yea i heard to get that book also. I will pick it up today...my uniform is not going to fit me soon! haha
but they thing that really strikes me odd is that i tested 4 days before my expected period and i gota positive result right away, test again and got another one ...then tested the next day and got another...but dont you think that its too early to test? could these tests be wrong? mmy command on my boat doesnt believe that i am so i have to get a blood test to prove it , im just hoping that i can trust these hpt's.

my sister tested 1 week before her period and got a positive now she is 6 weeks pregnant - it depends on how strong your HCG hormone is. i am 10 weeks pregnant and i kept getting negative test results back until i was 8 weeks.
yea i was worried until i got another professional test done at the clinic and now that i now for sure i am. im almost 7 weeks now and once in a while ill take a test to make sure that im still pregant. the work i do is just so hard that im afraid. but i took one the other day and as SOOn as i finished it was positive...so yay!!
Sugar be careful of the things you do. Also, I will correct myself, that book only makes us more paranoid. Like I said try Medhelp it is a site on the web and they have forums for expecting mothers that is very active, very supportive. I found a lot of people there who helped me with this pregnancy so far, I'm 15 weeks 2days!, and I had to have ovarian surgery. I hope to see you on that site soon and hope your commander has given you a break.
thank you...i will look into that website. i just got back from a long underway trip and pulling and lifting 500lb buoys while being 7 weeks pregnant 5 days a week for 13 hours is really getting to me. they still have me on the fire team for drills and using a brush cutter....gosh im so beat right now. i have to stand 24hour watches and im half way thru right now, but still i cant even keep my eyes open and my back hurts to bad i cant even move. but i have to stay on the boat doing this job till may so wish me luck. and good luck on your surgery doll
Sugar, that type of work is rather dangerous. If you speak to a doctor about it and they want you to do limited duty will you be able to?
nope no break for me anytime soon. i went for my first visit yesterday to the dr and everything looks fine. i have a bladder infection tho, but i have been having some light cramping on the left side, could that be gas pain since im really constipated? like gas pain? (ew i know)
You will find a million new pains that you didn't know you could have! It could be gas pains or just a corpus litum (which is a helpful ovarian cyst). Likely it is probably just stretching of the uterus or the gas pains though. I'm glad everything went well at the doctor appointment. What is your due date?
my due date is oct 28th....i hope that it is just gas pains but i did talk to my dr yesterday and he recommened me for a desk job but its at the commands discretion....and my command will not budge. and the only restricition that were given to me only applies for when im 20 weeks...and im only 7 1/2 now...so i guess i just gotta suck it up. im off my boat in the end of april though to go to a desk job but i still have 3 long underway trips left so hopefully myself and as well as my baby will be fine during it. im hoping that at my next appt which by then ill be 10 weeks they will be able to know if the baby is fine for sure and be able to hear a heartbeat. thank you for writing back
