Would like to know what different signs of pregnancy most women experience. I usually have a 32 day cycle but have also had 36 day cycles, it's day 32 today and I'm keeping my fingers crossed but still have to wait and see if my period comes in the next few days. I don't know if I'm imagining this as it is kinda early to be hoping for anything positive but I've been feeling very tired lately, urinate more frequently, feel hungry sooner than usual, sore breasts and slight cramps in my lower abdomen and feel dizzy every time I bend down and get up, although I have slight anaemia, I'm really feeling it much more in the past two weeks. I know everything will be clear as soon as my period arrives or when I do a home pregnancy test but I've still got a good 4 days to go before I reach my 36 day cycle. I'm just really anxious to hear about other out of the ordinary symptoms and hoping I relate to some of them. Hopin n Wishin!

Chy, all familiar symptioms. This is a bit late I know, but a blood test should be able to tell you a few days earlier than a home pregnancy test.

Thanks firstimemom, I'm really nervous now coz it's day 36 and still no sign of my period. I'm planning to give it till the end of week and if still no sign then I'll just book an appt. with an obyn for a blood test early next week. How long does it usually take for the results to come back? Finger's crossed!

Normally they wait for about 6 weeks (counting from the Last Menstrual Period (LMP)) to see the fetal heartbeat, but I'm not sure what happens with long cycles.
Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed MayC. The doctor I am currently using refused to do ultrasounds so early (sets it a 6-7 wks), and prefers not to go the transvaginal route so as "not to disturb things" and says it would be useless anyway. Some will immediately suggest an ultrasound at about 800 bucks a pop, even at 5 weeks...

>firstimemom, i remember from a previous thread that you use Dr Joseph Woo, are you still seeing him? A friend of mind recommended him and I'm thinking about seeing him as well. Also, if I do end up doing a pregnancy test at home and the result is positive, should I see the doctor asap or can wait till 6-7? Oh and I agree about ultrasounds, esp after seeing the program on National Geographic 'In the Womb', which airs tonight again if anyone's interested, shows that the sound waves from the ultrasound does pose some stress and distubance to the fetus, so having it too often is definitely not recommended, AGREE!

Yes, I'm still seeing him. Personally, I find it reassuring to see a doctor just to meet him/her, ask all manner of questions and make up my mind etc. And to schedule further checks/ultrasounds etc.
What time is the NG programme?
I'm so excited for you!!
Cheers

The NG program 'In the Womb' is on at 9pm tonight then again at 1am.

Ling1> Thanks! I'd say I noticed the symptoms two weeks prior to my menstruation date.

Ling1> I started charting temperatures in the first year and a half then I got frustrated with it and decided to just go by when I notice the discharge that comes during ovulation, you know the sticky glue-like clear discharge which for me only came once during my ovulating period. This time I made sure my husband and I went to work on that exact day and hit jackpot.
