Hey Hunnie, thank you so much for replying! I took a pregnancy test tonight...i bought it and I couldn't wait until tomorrow to take it. ;-) I took two of them and they are both positive!!! So I'm pregnant!!!! Now its 4am and I'm so overjoyed I can't sleep. I need to start taking prenatal vitamins and get to a doctor as soon as possible though because I'm a little nervous about my health I'm 5'6" 100 pounds and I'm a vegetarian (I don't eat any type of meat). I'm not and never have had an eating disorder or anything it's just extremely hard for me to gain weight and that really really scares me.
Hi hunnie and Bambi I am starting to experience some cramping in my lower stomach. I have heard that I should be drinking more water which I'm starting to do so let's hope it helps. I have nit experienced any bleeding so I hope it's not a miscarriage coming along.
Congrats chickostick how far along are you??

Hunnie I will be 7 weeks on wed. I'm not sure if in sept if I had implantation bleeding or if it was an actual period that month. I'll know more on nov 8 for sure. So either 7 or 11
the cramping could just be your uterus tying to accommodate the growing embryo i was very campy at the beginning ... and all mine is starting to stir up again and i end up having diarrhea .. just drink about a liter to 2 liters a day no need to push the 2 liters ..
Hunnie thanks so much. I'm trying to drink lots if water. Doesn't seem to help to much but we will keep trying. :-)
Hi Guys! Thought I would check in! Bunny! Just be careful with the water OK! IF you are dehydtrated you will have slight contractions - because most of the weight gain is water! BUT if it is just regular pregnancy aches and pains, you might cause yourself to have diarrhea! So drink the 8 glasses a day - more if needed! Watch what you eat - small and often! Just remember cramping, aches and pains are TOTALLY normal especially in the 1st trimester - as your hips, back, uterus, pelvis, thighs, breasts etc are ALL starting to shift and expand!
Hi Chick! CONGRATULATIONS! Since you don't have an eating disorder just know that the baby will grow and take whatever it needs to survive! So it's NOT about "gaining weight" actually! It's more about eating healthy, and the baby and your body having enough nutrients to take care of the growing baby! Just eat small and often! Increase your protein - do you not have eggs either? - IF you allow for eggs, then definitely eat those, soy, beans - extra protein is valuable right now! Healthy fats! And DEFINITELY take your prenatal vitamins - they contain most of what you need! BUT your body needs fat and protein - which the vitamins don't give you! So just eat regular, healthy and often! IF you eat several small meals and snack, you will keep your blood sugars stable and lessen the chance of having Gestational Diabetes! And also the dreaded hunger sickness - which is AWFUL! Your body is SO empty that it creates acid and that's a really sickening thing!
Hunnie! You must be getting close now! How many weeks RU?
Becky! How's our girl!?

Hey bambie..I haven't gotten on hear in awhile so much going on. Our litle boy who is almost 4 got really sick and his fever was 104 for 2 days and then he had a seizure. But he is ok now and back to his self. His breathing was bad and he wasn't getting enough air because he has asthma on top of that and then he got the croup. man has he been through alot. But hopefully it will not happen again. It was just very scary. And do you know if there is a chance of him having another febrile seizure?? ? ? :-(

She is just the sweetest little girl every. Which you could see her..lol..I will try and post back later. Love ya mom!!! :-)

just added week 30 i think photo .... i am in week 32 now
I'm trying to determine if I may be pregnant or it is just my PCOS acting up. I was told by my fam dr. that the best time for me to get pregnant was as soon as i came off the pill. my fiance and i had sex between oct 8 and oct 17th; i stopped taking my pills on oct 9th. My period was due to start between the 15th and the 17th. i have no idea when my ovulation days were but i am trying to get pregnant. my period hasn't started but i've been having symptoms that could be related to pms, pcos or pregnancy since the 16th. i've been having some minor cramping, back aches, headaches, nausea, heartburn and aversion to some foods. my fiance seems to think i'm pregnant but i'm just not sure. i want to be and i think that maybe the symptoms could all be in my head. when would be a good time to take a test? is it even possible that i could be pregnant? any advice would be fantastic. thanks.
Hi there magick my only advise either take a test using your first morning urine if you get a negative then wait till the the 20th of november .. if you period arrives between times try again once you have finished bleeding for about 2 -3 week on every other days or every day /night
as we have no idea when you started to ovulate and how long your cycle is ... also with coming off the pill it can help with getting pregnant straight away .. if you get pregnant before having your first period, which is possible, you may have a slightly harder time pinpointing when you ovulated and therefore your due date.............. with some people this happens some need to wait a few cycles b4 the know when they are ovulating. Once you stop taking birth control pills you may ovulate within two to six weeks.
Sometime symptoms can be also related to your Pcos .. sometimes not ....
Hope this helps you a bit

It can be frustrated when things don't work correctly in the first place to try and figure out when would be the best time to try and to test. my periods are only regular when i'm taking the pill but that doesn't help very well for TTC. Guess we will just have to wait and see. Thanks for your advice.
that is ok i had regular 28 day cycle on the pill when i was on mine and when i was taken off mine by medical advise i was having shorter and longer cycles most people ovulate 14 days after there first day of there period on a 28 day cycle and with PCOS it can be even harder to conceive .... i am only going from a friend who has got the same thing and was pregnant and then lost her babies in the first 8-12 weeks of conceiving ... she has a retroverted uterus and PCOS
Best of Luck and hope it dont take to long to get pregnant .. the best way is try not to think about it when trying and these things usually happen .. cause some times i can be disappointing when it hasn't happed that month and you dont get to upset

The problem I'm having right now is that I do think about it too much. Both my fiance and I really want to have a child and we know it could potentially be a long difficult road. I would really like to see things happen naturally but if it doesn't work within the next 6 months so I'll talk to my dr. about different medications i can take. Thank you so much for all your advise.
