Since the sperm need to be there hanging out for the egg’s arrival, actual conception happens at some mundane time like in the middle of grocery shopping. Well three days later FertilityFriend gave me my cross hairs on my chart showing that I in fact ovulated on Cameron’s birthday.<\/p>\n
I know from reading the forums that women who are trying to conceive get kind of crazy (and since you have to be a VIP (paid) member of FertilityFriend to have access to those forums, extra crazy) and start reading symptoms into everything. I also know that the hormone levels are not high enough so early to actually cause symptoms, *or* they are identical to PMS symptoms which is extra frustrating. That said, here are things that have made me think I might be pregnant this cycle:<\/p>\n
– Spotting starting at 4DPO (normally it starts a week before my period, never this early.)<\/p>\n
– A very sore nipple, despite knowing that it’s a direct result of Cameron accidentally ‘rolling’ it while playing on the bed.<\/p>\n
– An oh-so-slight tenderness in my breasts.<\/p>\n
– One day at work where I just couldn’t feel satisfied even after eating all the snacks I had on hand.<\/p>\n
– My temperatures rising consistently (until they fell a bit again.)<\/p>\n
– When checking to see if my milk is finally gone, I got nothing from one side and a drop of what looked more like colostrum than milk from the other. (By the way, the ‘nothing’ side was the one Cameron hurt so obviously it’s scared now.)<\/p>\n
– A sudden inability to figure out how to open a package of plastic wrap, which could only be justified as pregnancy brain.<\/p>\n
– This pregnancy test:<\/p>\n
