Waiting to try:Archie- just an update....

2005-09-20

Name: curious Dear Archie,

How are you & your family ?

Just wanted to update you with my current status-Today is the 13th day since I noticed the surge. I don't think that I am having any so called preg. symptoms...rather I feel my AF is on its way...I always notice a very little, white, odorless discharge 4-5 days before my menses are due and this is accompanied by some abdominal discomfort. I have been experiencing the same since yesterday...also I feel bloated sometimes, specially around the stomach.

Archie, I must confess one thing..this waiting period(after ovulation) is so exciting:-)...these days...every new day is like a new begining for me...you are so eager to find out what is going on in your body but you don't know the truth untill your AF shows up or you are past your due date. This ttc phase is such a great experience !!

Archie - we are really very lucky to have you around us....your help, advice & suggestions are laudable.

helloandhi replied. Hi there again curious ! Once again..i want to say i like your spirit :) Yes, I would go with what Archie says too though i am no expert. when i was preggers the first thing i felt was a green line on my breast. and yes, some amount of breast tenderness ( though i could not figure out if it was psychlogical ) i checked out the green vein on the breast on the net and it was mentioned in some places as a pg sign. And yes, all symtoms otherwise were pre-AF symtoomes.. but like Archie said that can swing either way. To cut a long advice short
1) continue with ur fantastic attitude
2) DONT TEST till atleast 5 days late
3) Dont imagine symtoms ( yes that happes with lots of ppl )
4) Dont keep waiting for AF .. stress on AF delays it and that can be a vicious cycle !

Hope this helps ! archie replied. both the vaginal discharge and cramps are due to progesterone and indeed difficult to say if this is really a period. It could go with pregnancy or period 50% chances for each.
Do you feel any difference with your breasts feeling, and/or urination frequency?
I am glad you take wait game positively otherwise it's killing for many around here.

thanks helloandhi

Hi dear,

Good to hear from you ! And thanks again for the compliment :-).

Thanks for sharing your pregnancy symptoms- so you also experienced the typical PMS before preg....I am actually happy to note that:-)! It gives me some hope.

Today I am feeling a little pain in my thighs- which again is a PMS for me, but I experience this very rarely( may be once in six months) . I am trying my best not to think about AF, but these symptoms distract me sometimes and I always feel like that the AF is going to popup any time.

I will certainly follow your valuable advice.

I am waiting to hear Archie's comments as well.

Wish me luck again !

no other noticeable symptoms

Dear Archie,

Thanks for responding.

No Archie, I don't feel any significant or noticeable changes in my body- no breast tenderness, no frequent urination, no mood swings, no nausea- nothing at all. Just some ( infact a very little) discharge and sometimes abdominal discomfort- but again as I said earlier- these are my usual PMS also - so I don't know what to expect !

Archie, here I would like to mention one thing- as I told you that I saw the surge on 7th and we tried for 3 days...and then on the 10th, I felt some lower abdominal pain for few hours & a very little discharge( It felt exactly like my AF was going to come anytime) - although these 2 symptoms are not unusal for me, the timing was very unusual....normally I experience these symptoms 4-5 days before my menses are due. So that is the only differnece that I noticed in this cycle. Do you have any idea , what could have caused the pain ? Could that have been my Ovulation day?

I will keep you updated.

Thanks again.
