I'm trying to not put TOO much faith in this. But I thought I'd post it for some prayers from my fellow Cysters.

I had a DR appt today for my annual exam. He was very pleased with my weight loss (29 lbs since August 5th). We talked a bit about the next steps with fertility assistance (as of now we've only been TTC naturally). I casually mentioned to him that I've been feeling weird lately and was wondering if my Metformin needed to be lowered as a result of my weight loss. I felt my crazy symptoms were my body adjusting to the weight loss and possibly needing to be on a lower dosage of Met. He asked what kind of symptoms and I only mentioned cramping like AF was coming about a month ago. He checked my last period (8/5/09) and said he thought I could be PG so he ordered tests. I was so shocked that he had so easily considered that I could be PG when for the past few years when I told him about other signs (some I mention below but I've never cramped like this before w/out a period) that I didn't think to mention the other symptoms:

PAST MONTH
-lost of very "egg white" consistency CM for two days about a month and a half ago (never really had this before)
-AF like cramps for a day or so about two weeks after CM (NEVER had this unless I'd taken Progesterone to start a period)
-shortly after AF cramps I had a week or so where I had a persistent headache that was non-stop for the entire week. Only periodic headaches now.
-BB's periodically sore and heavy feeling (not constantly - comes and goes. Often I take off my bra and it feels like gravity is going to pull them down to the floor)
-nausea (at least once a day though at varying times)
-dizziness (at least once a day though at varying times)

LAST TWO WEEKS
-heightened sense of smell (I normally have my plug-in airfresheners on high and in every outlet in the house. Last week I refilled all of them and the next day had to turn them down so they wouldn't be so strong. DH says he can't even smell them and I STILL think they're too strong)
-fatigue (extreme starting between 3p-6p. It seriously feels like someone is flipping a switch and then I'm just exhausted). BUT at night I have trouble falling asleep.
-suddenly losing hair like I did before starting Met again. I can recall over the last week thinking (why the heck am I losing hair like this when I'm taking Met now)
-today at my DR appt my BP was elevated to 136/83. My BP has ALWAYS been about exactly 120/80. I was shocked when the nurse questioned if I had been running around all day b/c it was high.
-although I'm on Weight Watchers I've been almost constantly hungry for the past two weeks. I normally leave a few points at the end of each day but for the past two weeks I've been eating them all or going slightly over each day. That said, I'm still losing at least 2lbs a week. My close friend who had PCOS couldn't lose weight until she concieved and only then started losing weight and lost weight all through her PG. She had a perfectly healthy baby girl. I've never had a weight loss like this on WW - normally at this point I'm reaching a plateau or starting to gain.
-some foods that I loved to eat a few weeks ago now gross me out. They even taste different. I was loving cheese and red. fat triscuits - now, yuck!
-Mood swings - sometimes I'm totally down and out and other times I'm like "WOOHOO".

About 3 weeks ago I thought this was weird so I took a home PG test and it turned out neg. although I swore that I could see a very very faint second line. I'm used to the neg. PG tests so I just figured that faint second line was all in my head. I knew that I had the DR's appt coming up today so I figured I would wait until then. Now I'm really nervous. It's one thing to have crazy symptoms and wonder if you're PG. It's another to have a DR tell you he thinks you may be PG for the first time ever. I should have the results by Monday. Sometimes I just "feel" different and wonder if it has finally happened for us. I think now I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not or that I'm imagining things so that I won't be so let down on Monday when I hear the words "Your PG test was negative". Sounds crazy huh?

Sorry for the long post - just wonder what others think of all this.

Prayers and baby dust for all of us who are waiting to find out...

Why not just get an HPT and test tomorrow or Sunday morning? You can get one for a dollar at Dollar Tree. It sounds to me like pg symptoms, but the only way to know is to test or wait for the doctor; our bodies can be decieving. What we think may get your hopes up or down, but in the end it doesn't matter what we think. A test will be definitive. TEST!

That is some restraint you have there to wait weeks and weeks, especially after getting what might have been a faint positive. Good luck!!!
