Thirsty!

 

Since getting off of BC, I haven't had a period so it's hard to track my cycle or to even know if I ovulated at any point post BC and now.  Yesterday I felt kind of queezy which is not a normal feeling for me - didn't ever have the urge to throw up but it came in and out of waves over an hour and then went away.  I also am having the weirdest cotton mouth and thirst issue yesterday/today where my mouth is noticeably dry and I just can't get enough water.

I can't decide if I think this is more PMS (was on the pill so long, I don't remember what it's even like!) or if it's a possible sign that I could be pregnant.  Thoughts?

I know when I had sex since I've been off the BC, however I'm having a hard time picking a date when I pee on the stick since I think if it's one of the more recent times then a test wouldn't come up positive.  Should I wait a few weeks?

Yes it is a possible sign, but I've been feeling the same way for a month and I'm definitely not KU.

Pregnant enough for symptoms means pregnant enough to test positive.

My thoughts are, if you think you're pregnant (or experiencing pregnancy symptoms) then take a test.  If you're pregnant enough for symptoms then you're pregnant enough to turn a pee test positive.

If it's negative, then test once a week until you either get a BFP, your period, or hit CD60 at which time you should call your doctor.

I was feeling queasy and thirsty yesterday too.  I thought it was from the bottle of wine, 4 jager bombs, and 1/2 a beer I drank Saturday, but maybe I am preggers !!!11!1!!

Seriously OP take a test once a week until you get your period, a + test, or hit 60 days with no period.  If you hit 60 days, call your doc and he/she can perscribe meds to jump start your period.

 I recommend charting your BBT.  It takes the guesswork out of knowing when to test.



TTC #1 since August 2011
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH: SA is good
Me: CD 3 blood work is good, HSG all clear, 7 DPO blood work shows low progesterone
October 2012: Clomid + IUI = BFN
December 2012: Consultation with RE#1. Not impressed with RE#1.
January 2013: Consultation with RE#2
January 2013: CF screening shows that I am a carrier of CF. Thankfully, DH's screening shows that he is not a carrier of CF. Sperm antibody tests are negative for both of us. According to our RE we are Unexplained IF
March 2013: Post coital tests show possible hostile CM. So, maybe not so unexplained?
April 2013: Unmedicated IUI after yet another bad bad PCT. = BFN
Cultures find a bacterial infection that could harm fertility, DH and I both start antibiotics.
May 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI

My thoughts are that rather than asking a bunch of strangers on the internet whether you could be pregnant or not, you go pee on a flucking stick.

 I really will never understand the thought process of people that ask these questions.

If being thirsty is a sign of pregnancy. I have been pregnant about 20 times today. I started my period today. I'm sure thats implantation bleeding. I am going to start planning my nursery now!

I am also thirsty. I thought it was the Clomid, but maybe I'm KTFU! Squee!

OP, drink some water and take a pregnancy test if you think you're pregnant.

It couldn't possibly be that you're just thirsty.Maybe getting a bug.  If you are far enough along to have symptoms, then a piss stick will pick up  a pregnancy. 

 

ETA: I must be ku too! I just downed a bottle of poweraid. I haven't even ovulated yet this month!

I guess I don't understand why people come on a pregnancy message board (this is supposed to be a POSITIVE thing) and act like the above.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  I joined this message board and made a post with a question that I felt was legitimate to see if anyone else had the same issue and if it was tied to anything that I'm going through during TTC.  I also didn't drink a bunch of alcohol - whomever mentioned that one, so by hinting I'm hungover is assinign.  I joined the site to be supported in my journey and to find people to relate to who have never gone through this process and are hoping to be a first time mom.  So for the love of god, start acting like you would behave if you were a mom or don't say anything at all.

I am a mom, and I agree with the prior posters. Have you read the newbie link at the top of the page? Have you lurked? If you cannot answer yes to BOTH of these questions, then I recommend you rectify the situation before posting again.

Really?  How is anyone supposed to know if someone across the country is pregnant?  For the love of god, stop acting like a butthurt newb and get used to it.  This is the internet if you haven't noticed not some kumbayah hand holding support group.  People can and will say what they damn well want to where they want to.  Telling someone how they should post will not work, in fact it will backfire.

Assinign is one of the most hilarious typos I have ever seen. 

Knock your whiny shiz off.



TTC since October 2011.
DX with Non-IR PCOS in October 2012.
Missing RIGHT tube due to a prior surgery to remove cyst-zilla (40 lbs!) at age 12.
HSG showed tube was blocked - cleared by dye. DON'T DO CLOMID WITHOUT AN HSG!
Cycle #8 with 50mg Clomid & TI = BFN
Cycle #9 with 50mg Clomid & TI = No response.
Cycle #10 with Clomid 100mg + Ovidrel shot = BFN
Cycle #11 is a break cycle. Cycle #12 is a break cycle. (The break so nice, she did it twice!)
