Hello,
I am brand new to the site but have read a little of the threads to make me join. Here is my story. I am 29yo newly married 10/21/06 and since then we ahve been trying to conceive. I have been taking the ovulation tests monthly and planning accordingly. I cant do the BBT due to the fact I cant sit still the first thing in the AM. My periods are like clock work, I have a 32 day cycle most of the time. I have only bine to my ob/gyn where in Oct. she suggested to go to the fertility specialist since we have been unsuccessful so far. My husband wanted us to try on our own for a few more months and change his lifestyle. (he is lossing weight, stop drinking, wearing boxers) I have also lost 35lbs since July and do not drink, take vitamins, neither of us smoke.

So here is my issue. For the past 16months leading up to my period I would get the feeling that I was pregnant, of course. But it was never true. Just me think it was then after my period I would have a few weeks of feeling nothing and then back to the same routine in hopes of a positive preg. test. Then this month happened. We TTC on the 21 of january when I had a somewhat positive OV test then I tested two days after and they were definately postitive. I got my period on the expected day ( the 5th of Feb.) but it was slightly different in the fact that I only bleed heavy for one day then the remaing 4 where panty liner worthy, on the heavy day I was curled up in a ball because I had bad cramps ( not typical at all) and then now I have this constant pressure in my lower abdomen, sore breasts, dizziness, slight nausea, slight headache, acne flair up, hungry more than usual. I took a preg. test on Weds and it was negative but could it be I was just to early. If I was pregnant I would be roughly 3.5 wks. So do you think it is me and having pschomatic symptons or do you think it can be real?

As a side note, can someone give me a list of abbreviations for terms.

Thank you for your help.

Hi. Don't have any answer for you I'm afraid, apart from the fact its likely to be too early to get a BFP yet.
I am a bit useless when it comes to the abbreviations, but one of girl will know where the list of them are.
Hope you get your BFP soon

First, hi I'm Faith, welcome.
I think you should wait until your test day and see. Did your test day already happened? Or you still have to wait? If you do, just do it, I know it's hard but it's possible.
I know what you mean with psychosomatic, but I think you should wait until test day (if your test day didn't already happen) or go to see your doctor and get a blood test done. If the test and blood test come back negative, then you may start thinking it could be psychosomatic, but I don't think you should worry about that now. Try to relax, if you need anything let me know.
