I feel like I'm going mad! I really think I conceived recently i.e in the last week, I have no real reason to think this, no physical signs, apart from being tired!
I wasn't trying to get pregnant, quite the opposite, I was on the pill!
I just feel pregnant if that's possible! I feel different, odd, it's soo hard to explain!
I keep telling myself not to be so stupid!!lol but I must believe it on some level because I have stopped taking my pills "just incase!"
I never had anything like this last time round.
Please someone tell me I'm not losing the plot!!

Dear All,
I was going to ask...when can you do a test??...But having read this line I think I need to wait. I've only been trying for the last month, period not even due till 10 days or so, Dd is 17 months, and the home test came up negetive even after my period was 10 days late..it wasn't till I went to the GP that he said a definate YES...I feel I could be now as I am sooo knackered, I slept for 2 hrs at lunchtime, and I find it really hard to sleep in the day usually...Bit it's 10 days or so till I'm due my period....just feel I could be. I fell pregnant really quickly last time. Fingers crossed

I still have the "feeling" Hellomama. Dont know whether what i had was spotting of a very light period. Am still on the mini pill. Dont know whether to stop taking it just in case?

HelloMama · 17/08/2004 16:57

I just knew I was pregnant! Not quite as soon as the deed was done (!)but in the week after. I didn't have a symptoms either, I just had the funny feeling you all describe! However I did loads of tests and they all kept coming up negative until my AF was 3 days late, and even then it was a feint line! In the end I bought a digital test and sure enough, it said 'pregnant'! DH was so shocked as I had been on and on about it, but all the tests were negative so he just didn't believe it until I showed him the digital one! Anyway, our DS was born on 31 July, so it definitely was true!

Thought i had got af on thursday, but for 5 days have just had slimy brownish stuff (sorry for TMI!) just about finished now - day my period is due. Was sure i was pg and it was just spotting or something but did a neative test this morning

Tessiebear · 15/08/2004 20:40

Whats happening Madmummy?

larlylou · 13/08/2004 19:44

don't count on me this month tessiebear...my af has abruptly arrived too ... off on holiday now to enjoy myself, drink ample wine and eat lots of soft cheese before coming home and getting down to serious business!!! Good luck trying tessiebear!

Titania · 13/08/2004 11:32

maddymum...what was the outcome?

CP3 · 13/08/2004 11:23

Go and get a test whoops, im nervous for you now!

whoops · 13/08/2004 11:18

Erm not really sure TBH.
My period started on 29th and lasted for 4 or 5 days can't remember now.
My cycle is usally about 31/2 days long.

I just feel soooo rough, sick and tired.

Tessiebear · 13/08/2004 11:12

Depends when you ovulate. If the first day of your period is Day 1 of your cycle and you ovulate on day 14 - How many days did your period last? If it finished on day 7 and you had sex on day 8 it is probably unlikely that the sperm would live that long (they are supposed to live 5 days ish) But this is really general - when do u ovulate

whoops · 13/08/2004 11:07

Have started a thread on this, but thought i'd ask here too.

Is it possible to get pregnant if you have sex the day your period ends ???

Tessiebear · 12/08/2004 11:03

Aunt Flo is in Town!!!!
Larlylou - it sounds like you could be PG - keep us posted!!!!!

larlylou · 11/08/2004 20:40

Tessiebear...I too am more convinced that my af is on its way too! I am cramping quite a lot at the moment (which I am assuming is telling me that it's on its way only I never suffer from cramps when my af is about to/comes?!?) but am still suffering from sore boobs (which I never suffer from unless I'm pregnant) and now I am bloody constipated....what the hell is going on! I did test this morning but it said negative (it was an old clearblue test stick that I have had for a couple of years so I am wondering if they have out-of-date dates)! So, I'm taking it that I'm not but deep down not fully convinced am gonna test again (af not due until Friday/Saturday) unless af arrives!!!!

Hi Yorkie (and everyone else!)

Whats topic did you put the note under in 'other subjects' - can't find for looking - brain becoming like mud already! Feeling OK at the moment - although starting to get a very heightened sense of smell - not helpful when DH comes in from the pub reeking of stella and garlic (from a thai curry!!) - he has been warned!!!

Tessiebear · 11/08/2004 10:45

My AF is ssssooooo on its way - have my token spot on my face, feel bloated, grumpy as hell with EVERYONE, and my sore boobs have now gone (as they do just before AF) Feel a bit relieved to be quite honest - will be good at taking my pill until we decide to TRY for no.3..... If AF is a no show will post again!!!

abitconfused · 11/08/2004 10:29

lmo3, AF isn't due for another 6 days and I'm only about 8 dpo at best. Suppose I could test on Friday. Have just re-read my symptoms and they do sound quite obvious though, you are right .

lonelymumof3 · 11/08/2004 10:15

abitconfused....if you are getting pg symptoms then surely you should be able to test now?

abitconfused · 11/08/2004 10:13

After reading this thread for a while I feel like I may as well join in after my Persona blunder nearly two weeks ago. I'm really not sure what is going on at the moment but my sense of taste has started to change, which dh has even joked about, and I'm going to the toilet quite a lot too! Have also had a niggling back ache for about a week. Also boobs are sore and leaking a bit . I have got some early tests but can't test until Monday really so will wait and see.

congratulations cantknowsoonenough!
Larlylou, I've been the same, I go from being completely convinced I am preggers, to thinking I'm mad and convincing myself I'm not! lol
I thought I might be testing today, but the tests I ordered havn't turned up and I'm not spending any more! So hopefully tommorow, I'll let you all know

Ah well - I've got that familiar cramping sensation so I reckon af must be on its way. Am really going to try to put this out of my head and just enjoy ttc

Good luck everyone

wishingchair · 09/08/2004 17:53

tee hee - just re-read my comment and just want to add that we've been ttc for 2 months but dd is 19 months old. Not that I had dd 2 months ago and am now ttc ... good god, still hadn't had sex at that point let alone having enough of it to get pg . And we want to go through all that again for what reason?!

Tessiebear · 09/08/2004 17:43

Larlylou and Wishingchair - you are both getting just the same symptoms as me and i too cannot decide WHAT they are- very frustrating. I have decided to wait until the weekend at the earliest to test as i have wasted so much money on tests in the past....

aloha · 09/08/2004 17:31

A positive is a positive canknowsoonenough! Congratulations.
