First Signs Of Pregnancy

While writing this blog I must mention I am in the 7th Week of my pregnancy... next week I will be two months pregnant... And till now I have experienced No Symptoms at all.

Anticipation of pregnancy got me all the early pregnancy symptoms but at the time am really pregnant nothing is there.

In the beginning of October around 2nd or 3rd I remember experiencing a blackout when I suddenly got out of the bed... then on 7th of October (It was a Karvachauth Day - When Indian Women Fast for their Husbands) I experienced a severe lower abdominal pain and cramps which I felt where due to approaching menstrual cycle. But when I was past 3 days of my expected period and last months period date, I went in for a Pregnancy Test which was POSITIVE. And then I went in for my first prenatal appointment.

I waited for two weeks to write this part of my blog so that I could update things about my early pregnancy symptoms. But to my surprise I have none till now......

Its just that I experience sore breasts every morning when I get up and I have started sleeping a lot almost 16 hours in a day. Now thats due to fatigue I really can't say but I have definitely become a sleep lover.

I admit that this symptom-less-pregnancy do put me in worry sometimes and make me think if there is really something. But I keep my cool by reading about people sailing with me in the same boat. Also "Every Pregnancy Is Different" you must have read it several times till now but you really need to experience it to believe it.

Trying To Conceive Days

By the time we decided to get the third person in our life we were two years married. Excitement and desire to be a mom and dad was at peak. We started TTC from December which is also our anniversary month . But I would do mention we started officially in December (Without Any Protection) and practically from May (We started following Ovulation charts and all). Every time since then a regular menstrual cycle was a big heart breaker. :(

But I personally feel that was also important.... as it made me more strong and willing during the trying months and really happy and at top of the world when I finally conceived. :)

If we count it from December till October its almost 10 or 11 long months time.... Its just patience and try till you die attitude that keeps you going in this situation.

I remember going to a gynecologist in mid of these 11 months to inquire if there is a way to expedite the things with the help of medical advances... She smiled at my stupid question and told me that I just need to follow the Fertile Period Charts strictly and sooner or later it will happen... "GOD's Timing - Is the key to success and remain strong during your TTC period "

Though I had a fix 27 days menstrual cycle but it started fluctuating a lot and two months before I conceived it became 30 days.

During those TTC days several months I felt pregnant before I missed my period as I had all the pregnancy symptoms nausea, dizziness, back ache, breast soreness etc . But every time periods came sooner or later. So don't put high hopes until you miss your periods for at least 3 days...

One more thing that I would like to stress on from my personal experience is... Do follow ovulation calenders available on several sites but don't restrict your love making to those 4 or 5 days .... instead make love every two days as the ovulation may or may not occur as per shown in the calender.

So that was my Story of TTC........... more to come so hang on....

First Note from a To-Be-MOM

My present state of mind is very hard to explain - fear/stress/tension/anticipation I guess are enough to say it all.

I always promised myself that I am gonna start blogging the day I will be declared 'PREGNANT' so that I can Tell my story to all those contemplating, trying and dying to conceive mothers....

And here I go :D
