Okay, call me paranoid (because I most definately am), but I've been having some weird things go on lately. I'm still a bfing momma, my son is a little over 2 now and I finally got my period back on Oct. 17. I haven't had a period since then, I did have a day when I wiped and got a pink stain on the tp (didn't write down when it was though, grrr) I think it was about a week or so after when I might have gotten a second period. No idea though, considering I didn't have enough periods to chart yet, lol. I've been getting headaches, my breasts are a little sore (not sure if this is because my toddler is mean to them at night or not) and I'm sweating like a pig even when I'm cold. It's driving me nuts! I currently don't have a working septic system so I have to tote any bath or shower water outside to dump it in our corn feild every time, so afterwards I'm back to sticking again! Anyway, do you ladies have any opinions or experiences like this? I'm pretty certain I'm mostly paranoid, my husband and I practice safe sex every time with condoms. It has never failed us yet, except of course the time we didn't use one which resulted in my first son, lol. Just wanting to vent my concerns mainly, and to hear your stories. I love the accidental pregnancy stories and the stories of paranoia about pregnancy that was all in our heads. :) I get that way regularly afterall, no periods = double paranoia I'd say, hehe. I was actually surprised when I got my first period, as I didn't have one with my first until he was about 3 years old, 6 months after he stopped nursing. You never can tell I guess.

I always think I'm pregnant. If I'm not pregnant or bleeding, I wonder. After being on the shot now for over 6 months it's not so much anymore. But at the beginning of the bc, I was testing regularly.
#1 and #3 were oops! babies. Both times I was coming off the pill because the pill turns me into a raging, crazy, psycho lady. I keep wishing for another oops! baby, because that's probably the only way I'll get another one.

I know how you feel. I'd like an oops! baby too. My husband, on the other hand, is not up for it right now. Which makes the idea that I might be, a little bit stressful. Also, financially, we are in no shape to support another child, especially since I'm about to transfer to a university which will be a serious drain on our budget. I hate being poor! lol

This baby now was an OOPS!
We were using charting and ladycomp (helps mointor your cycles) in addition to protection during "dangerous" times of the month. Worked like a charm for 23 months!
In July, after my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer, I flew with both kids and no DH all the way to CA for a visit. I was gone 12 days. I thought I'd already O'd. FF gave me crosshairs, and my temps followed their usual pattern after O, the ladycomp agreed. I got home on CD26, and I felt "off".
My temp that day was really odd for me, and I told DH something felt strange, that I may be fertile and we should be careful... well, his repsonse was, "Honey, I haven't seen you in 12 days. I don't want to worry about that. That's why we spent all that money on that ladycomp thing. Plus, doesn't FF say you already O'ed? Besides, you just spent 14 hours travelling with 2 kids, and you were up all night, so your temps are probably all messed up from stress."
Well... wouldn't you guess... the next day, FF took away my crosshairs and I had EWCM. I O'ed on CD26, the SAME day I got home, and later than I'd ever ovulated before in the past 23 months. And, well... I'm pregnant.
I was THRILLED but DH took a bit to warm up. He was done D-O-N-E having kids. I wanted 2 more eventually, just not yet. It's been a lot of adjusting. We didn't have a car big enough for 3 carseats, so we had to buy a new one. Our house is small and we just bought it this year, so we're still kind of settling in, and now we're trying to make space for a new lil' one. But, it all works out, and we're truly blessed and so happy. To make it even better, I'm having a GIRL, and I always wanted 2 girls. :)
I hope your story winds up just how you want it... and I hope you can test soon so we can all know! :hugs:

Nice, isn't that how things go, lol. I'm glad he came around, afterall, he's the one who said lets not worry about that now. :D My husband says he's DONE having kids too, he even wants to go down and get a vasectomy he's so certain. Although, we've agreed that he won't unless I give him the go ahead. He knows I want one more, I've 2 boys and am still wanting the elusive girl, lol. I don't know when I'll get a chance to get an hpt, I've gotta do it when I go christmas shopping without the kids or my husband, hehehe, no need to get him worried if I'm just paranoid afterall. Thank you for your story, I love these life stories, with just enough humor to make me chuckle as well as, I feel your apprehension over telling your hubby.

paranoia prevails! I took an hpt, bfn. :P I'd like to think I'm the typical paranoid woman with babybrain, lol, so about ever 6 months or so I usually start wondering. It's especially hard with having no periods to indicate anything. Thanks for listening, oh, and I'd still love to hear any humorous oops baby stories, they generally warm my heart, considering my first was a completely unexpected oops. I got up one morning (still lived with my mom at the time, I had only just started dating my hubby 3 months before that) and complained that it felt like someone had punched me in the chest. My mom pops off, maybe your pregnant, she'd been nagging me to give her grandchildren since I'd turned 18, lol, I was 21 at the time. I popped right back at her, no I am not, and then left for work. Paranoia snuck up on me, I did a test, and surprise! I had to tell my boyfriend of just 3 months that we were going to be parents. His only response when i told him was, "No...., really?" It was funny, I had called him over at around midnight to talk to him, he confided in me later that at the time he thought I was going to break up with him. :P And yet, here we are almost 8 years later....ah, love works in mysterious ways sometimes. hehehe
