Hi sis chocnats!

Don't loose hope, may mabubuo din jan.
I want to share my story to you.. ganyan din kame ng hubby ko, we're really into of a having a baby so we planned about it. regular naman ako ngkakaron and i also had my tracker pero for almost 2 months of trying it always negative.. After that 2 months of trying nasabe nalang namen sa isa't isa baka hindi pa yun yung time for us to have baby, baka ayaw pa ni God. So we stop expecting pero still we're making out into unprotected sex yung nga hindi na kame ng-aassume na ma-ttarget namen si egg cell. Then after a month, mga first week ng December, I was delayed na for how many days, my LMP was October 24 so i'm hoping for my period around Nov 24+ .. Wala din akong nramdaman signs nun so hindi ako ng-assume.. then after a couple of weeks wala padin dun ako ng-try ng PT, nung una negative, then after a week ng-try ulet ako dun ng positive.. Nabigla din kame ng hubby ko.. pero happy kase atlast nakabuo kame.. eheh, as of now, I'm 22weeks preggy na Wag ka ma-lose ng hope sis, kaya niyo yan! ;p

Ang very early sign ng pregnancy would be IMPLANTATION. It takes roughly 6-12 days after ovulation for implantation to occur. Also, implantation may occur 20-23 days after the first day of your last menstrual period.  It may take 3-4 days after implantation to test positive on a blood pregnancy test. And it will take another 2-3 days to test positive on a urine pregnancy test. Usual na sign ng implantation is spotting, like a pink or brown spotting.

Try and try sis! wala naman siguro kayong problem ni hubby mo bout sa reproductive organs dba? Sa una talagang nakakadismaya pag negative pero pag anjan na you'll be happier as ever.

Thanks for the advice sis. Siguro nga hindi pa namin time. Sabi ng fiance ko, try daw ulit namin a few months bago ng wedding. Haha. Mas excited kasi ako sa fact na magkababy kami kesa sa ikasal kami.

Hopefully talaga may mabuo. Papacheck na rin ako sa OB on Saturday para lang iprepare ang sarili for that.

[ILAB.LAMS]

Sis chocnats,
You're welcome sis.. Haha, parehas tayo, mas excited din kame mgkababy kesa sa wedding namen.. actually mas pinaghahandaan ko si baby kesa sa sarili kong wedding eh. haha!  try niyo unprotected sex sis, wala naman masama dun kung alam niyo naman sa isa't isa na wala naman iba dba.. bsta always consider those hygienic measures especially when it comes to our sensitive parts.. wash lang ng wash. Then you'll never know msurprise kayo prehas. hihih.. Goodluck to your check-up sis, your OB for sure will give you some advices! 

[nageinna]

hi sis choc.nats, dont lose hope sis. dadating yan in God's perfect time. first, pacheck ka muna kay ob, then si hubby pa sperm analysis mo. to make sure both kayo fit and healthy. i would also suggest na mag take ka ng basal temperature mo everyday. try using fertilityfriend.com very big help siya. you can record your temperature through there. i just found out i was pregnant yesterday but i didnt have any unusual symptoms. and wala rin akong balak mag PT yesterday if not because of hubby, siya lang nag pilit sakin. AF was supposed to arrived yesterday din dapat. but when i checked my basal temperature, mataas pa rin, if pregnant ka kasi, temperature will remain high, if padating na si AF you will notice your temp to go down. so through my basal temperature dun ko nalaman na pregnant ako. iba iba rin kasi body natin so meron iba nakaka experience ng early pregnancy symptoms, iba naman wala, or late lang nakakaexperience. try lang ng try sis. dont stress yourself too much. in time it will come

[chocnats]

Thanks sis nageinna! Congrats on your pregnancy.

Sige will take your advice, although ayaw muna ni h2b mag-try ngayon. By January na lang daw or after ng wedding ulit. Pero will still check with the OB. Worried lang kasi ako na baka mahirapan akong manganak or what. Paranoid lang. Haha.

[pinkpotato]

^ hahah. you really are excited! we will celebrate with you when the time comes. in the meantime

**BEST WISHES ON YOUR WEDDING**

[chimponzi]

naka-relate naman ako sa thread na ito! haha. TTC din kami.. kaso naka-period din ako this month. sana nga soon makabuo din bago ako mag 30 sa june! hahaha

goodluck sa atin! 

[danne]

hi maria, please find time naman na makavisit kay OB... kailangan matingnan ng experts yan.

[spiderman121212]

Sis better to consult an OB and ask her if pwede ka pa-HCG blood test (serum pregnancy). Yan ang pinaka-accurate kasi sis to determine if your pregnant or not.

Sis iba po ba yung serum pregnancy sa blood pregnancy test? thanks!

[jaywee03]

Girls, pasali.
i am delayed, but still can't tell kasi i'm irregular. my husband & i had contact 2nd week of july. i tried having a PT last july19 but negative. too early ba? kasi im have signs of pregnancy like i pee a lot & not feeling well-headache & dizziness(but i dont know if this is bec im stressed too at work)

[chubbycheeks]

Just do the PT again or better yet, have a lab test na to know for sure.

[cinder05]

I was 6 weeks pregnant na bago ko nalaman na I was preggy, but the very early signs na hindi naman usual before my period: itchy boobs and nipples, consistent tenderness ng boobs for about 3-4 weeks (usually kasi 1 week tender boobs malapit na or makaka period na right?) , masakit [textspeak!] sikmura parang hindi natutunawan or parang may gas.

[cinder05]

and until now mag 5 months preggy na ako, hindi dumami [textspeak!] clear or white discharge ko, even nung early weeks pa.

[chocnats]

Wow, buhay pa pala ang thread na ito.

I'm currently 14weeks pregnant now. Delayed ako ng 9 days noon pero ayaw ko pa magtest kasi ayaw kong umasa. Kasi iba dati almost three weeks akong delayed pero in the end nagkaroon pa rin ako. So akala ko same case lang rin yun. Pero this time around, napansin ko na sobrang sakit ng boobs and nipples ko. As in napapangiwi ako sa sakit every time mahahawakan or kahit habang nagsusuot ng bra! And lagi ako nagugutom. Kakain ko lang, pero after a few minutes, gutom nanaman ako. So in the end, nagPT ako. And ayun, positive nga!

[monamie02]

Ako naman mga sis delayed ng 1 month. Month of May kasi namiscarriage ako then june dinatnan na ko ng period pero July wala. Kahapon lang nakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo at biglang prang maduduwal pero ayaw ko muna mag PT kasi masaydo pamaaga. Yung pregnancy ko kasi nung march super excited kami tapos hindi nagtuloy sana this time okey na pero hintay hintay pa muna ko bago magPT

[outandaboutph]

Regular ang period ko so noong nadelay ako ng 1 week bumili na ako ng kit, and nagpositive.

Hello mga sis! TTC din kami ni hubby for over a year na. For the first 9 months namin, regular ako, then last December 2013, naging irregular na ako (because of weight gain). It was very frustrating, and I cried several times whenever after 3 weeks or more na walang period and so much anticipation, bigla na lang dadatnan. Then, I found out through my fertility doctor na I have PCOS, so the last 2 months, I went to the gym and went on a diet. Those last 2 months, nag regular na din mensies ko, like on the dot talaga (I use an ovulation tracker app).

On the 1st week of August, I took my very first home ovulation test when the app said I'd be fertile and came out positive for LH surge. Hubby and I had contact for several days since that. Iba rin kasi unlike before, even nung regular ako, I noticed na masbasa ako down there.

Then, about a week after I did the ovulation test, I started feeling nauseous, tired, and I've been having food cravings and aversions (medyo nandidiri ako sa eggs pero I've been hogging the milk). I've also been having some dull to sharp cramps sa puson ko. I still have 7 days before my expected next period, and maybe this is just some psychosomatic stuff since it's too early, but I'm hoping there's some baby dust from above involved in all this. Praying for a miracle!

If not, pupunta kami hubby sa St. Lukes to have him checked (I've done my part in terms of all the tests na kasi).

Baby dust to everyone who's TTC!
