Weddingbee boards

It's been awhile since I've visited the 'bee, but I'm midway through my TWW and am in need of a sounding board and some support/reality check.

Long story short, we aren't necessarily trying right now (we were planning to officially start trying in September), but had an "accident" about 4 days before my anticipated O date. And from what I've read, the little guys can totally live that long and wait to ambush the egg.

About 3 days after the estimated O date, I started feeling really nauseous and super tired in the afternoon/evening. And the past few days I've gone from not hungry to ravenous at the flip of a switch. And burpy - OMG, I have had to say "excuse me" more times in the past 5 days than I think I have in my entire life!

I have my regular annual exam tomorrow, so I'm hoping my dr might be able to do a blood test or something that's more reliable early on so I'll know now (instead of taking the test next week when AF is due).

I'm definitely excited to be pregnant, and we're definitely ready. But it's scary nonetheless. And I'd like to know if I'm not, because I have 2 half-empty bottles of wine waiting in the fridge - either for me to drink or chuck away

Anyone else in the same boat this month? Symptoms?

It looks like this month isn't our lucky one - dr's pee test came back negative. I think I might still take one closer to AF, just to double check.

Amazing - we weren't really trying but it's still incredibly disappointing. I can only assume it will be 10x worse when we actually ARE trying.

Good news though - my dr checked out the prenatals I've been taking for the past few months and says they'll be fine for when we actually do conceive. So at least I'm prepared on that end!

@WiLLowTreE: I did buy a 3-pack of those clear blue easy testers yesterday. You know, just in case

I completely agree with what other bees are saying on the Babies section - wouldn't it be nice if there was a telltale sign as soon as you become pregnant? That way you KNOW if you need to be taking extra-special care of yourself, or if you can enjoy that glass of wine that's calling your name at the end of a rough day.

Let us know how your testing turns out seg31085!

@PrncssDva: it has been a long time, hasn't it? Nice to see a friendly "face" from the wedding planning days!

I've been on the pre-natal vitamins for awhile, it's one of the steps my dr recommended when I told her we were still 6-12 months out from trying. Best advice ever - getting that folic acid intake up early!
