Could I be pregnant?

I have a son and a daughter aged 1 and 2. A week ago (midcycle) we had an incident where a condom split but, thankfully, we discovered it before ejaculation. I don't know how long it had been split, but it must have been a few minutes before we discovered it. My period is due on Sunday and for the last week I have felt very, very sick and unable to sleep at night - my mind is all over the place, and I can't shut down. I had these exact same symptoms between conception and when my period was due during my last two (planned) pregnancies. The thought of another one now scares me - I would have a 3, 2 and a 1 year old after a year!!! Talk about close together! How likely is a pregnancy under these circumstances?

congrats sickaspig!!!if you are neg with a first response,then I should say its pretty certain you're not preg! Wear some white trousers tomorrow that will make your period start!

Negative test (first response).
I was due on Sunday.
Still no period by end of Monday. I am normally 28 days clockwork.
Can I assume that I am most likely NOT pregnant? or anyone shown negative at 2 days late and it turned out they were actually pregnant?
I am now assuming I am not pregnant - and I have stopped worrying (almost!)

Tessiebear · 23/08/2004 19:22

have been watching this thread with baited breathe - any news Sickasapig???

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 17:22

OK - I gave up at work and decided you are right - I should go home and test. Not knowing is causing me so much worry. The chances are slim that I am pregnant and therefore I am probably worrying about absolutely nothing.
I am going home to test!

alexsmum · 23/08/2004 16:19

feeling sick and being late can be caused by anxiety. you could just be worrying yourself into feeling this way.id dh hadn't come i would think it unlikely that you are pg. I would do a test tonight..it will almost certainly be neg and then you can relax.

kelly0612 · 23/08/2004 16:03

the twins were planned i think as for the others a mistake

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 13:40

o kelly - is your sister real??? Were they all planned? Makes me feel better anyway.
I can't test yet as I am at work and I am not ready to deal with a positive result.

kelly0612 · 23/08/2004 13:02

my sister had 4 kids under 3 she fell pg with twins then 9 mths later she fell pg again then 9 mths later she had another 1 everybody she thought she was mad she also had no family around to help her but she coped really well and im sure you will to

notthecod · 23/08/2004 13:00

GO AND DO A TEST! HOENSTLY ?
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW GO AND FIND OUT!

Titania · 23/08/2004 12:58

i think you know in youself when it comees to things like this!! how late are you now?

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 12:55

We have no family for support. I have some great friends, but as they all have young kids I do not call on them very often.
I have just started back at work so am worried about that too.
I am 36, so I suppose hanging about for a third makes no sense - and if I am, well, I am!
I do not feel ready to test. I am at work, I want to go home, but can't as I have only just come back (after maternity)!!. Dh thinks it is impossible for me to be pg and has told me to stop worrying. If only I was so sure.

Titania · 23/08/2004 12:35

3 is no harder than 2 i have found....if it turns out you are having another, you will manage. The only thing is you are less likely to be able to rest with 2 other little ons to look after, but if you have friends or family who can help, take advantage of it. I would test anyway and put your mind at rest either way

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 12:30

No, I haven't bought a test. I am putting it off.
We've always wanted three kids, but planned to wait until the little one was 2 before trying again. He has only just turned one.How do you deal with three so little?!??
I feel sick.

Titania · 23/08/2004 12:21

but at least a test would put your mind at rest and you can deal with the outcome knowing the result. have you bought a test yet? i have got 3 and at one point had 3 under 4 and a half.....tbh...the 3rd one just kinda 'slots in'

SickAsAPig · 23/08/2004 12:13

Following my original message, AF is now late (I am NEVER late) and I still feel sick and clammy.
I would have thought that the chances of conceiving under these circumstances were very small - wearing a condom (albeit broken at some point) and not (erm) ejaculating.
I am now panicing and am too worried to test. I am not sure I am ready to face three under three!!!! Help.

Titania · 23/08/2004 11:17

kelly....i would really do a test....you are showing the same symptoms what i had!! the first response test seems to be getting votes around here lately, or the clear blue digital

kelly0612 · 23/08/2004 11:13

thanx nutcracker . My mind has been on babies for days now. i dont know whether its me but i have a feeling i may be pregnant im getting pains like period pains but no period i have been getting them since i was supposed to have come on

nutcracker · 22/08/2004 15:50

Hi Kelly - Yes sore nipples are a sign and I would definatly say that dizziness is too as I had that with Dd2.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you

kelly0612 · 22/08/2004 15:20

is dizziness 1 of the signs of pregnancy, also my nipples have been sore, im not sure whether its that or because my body is regulating itself again after stopping micronor, cant do a hpt yet as i dont think it will show anything

wild · 21/08/2004 05:23

Well that was what occurred to me when I saw you on Mini-pill thread, then I felt bad about saying so in case you are not. But good luck I hope you are! and if not keep trying lol

kelly0612 · 20/08/2004 21:40

thanx zebra i really hope i am as i would really love a child,my nurse was not very good at all she just said to me "do you feel pregnant" how would i know i have never had a baby before.

zebra · 20/08/2004 16:08

Sounds possible, Kelly.

Cyndii · 20/08/2004 16:05

Janet JJ ~ first response test is for 3 days before af is due. I wish you well over the weekend but it might be worth doing the test as you sound v anxious ~ and to be honest I would too, if I were in your situation!

Tessiebear · 20/08/2004 14:34

When i came off the combined pill i never had a period and i got pregnant straight away - so it can happen - tho it can take a while for periods to get back to normal - do a test???

kelly0612 · 20/08/2004 13:41

please help this is my first time on here and im really confused as my nurse was so unhelpful, i feel silly asking but im trying to conceive and i have recently come off the mini pill micronor my periods should have been on the 10th august but nothing happened my last perioid was july 10th and i had a bleed on the 24th but it was only for a day, i was still taking the pill at the time, are my periods late because of the pill or because i could be pregnant, we have been having unprotected sex since 4th august
