Hi All
Went to see dh who is away at the moment with Navy (since Dec) and spent a week togther. I am not taking any contraception and we are hoping for our 2nd child. We tried before he left but only for 3 months.
Anyway I feel different. I have been very tired (could be jet lag I know plus have sore throat and feel generally unwell) My boobs feel tender and I feel different down below too, slight cramping feelings/similar to when I a due on but it all feels much more sensitive iykwim. I have been weeing more and also have massive urge to go and then only wee a little. I feel generally spaced out which i remember feeling before. My instinct is yes but I am not sure if it is all hope rather than fact.
Last period was 4 march for 5 days. My periods tend to be irregular.
When can i take a test for an accurate result? I'm worried about leaving it as need to take folic acid etc (I know I should take it anyway and have been off/on). I just don't feel like alcohol at all...
Any ideas? Thanks xx

Hi there - if your periods are irregular, I would go by when you could have conceived, and test probably no sooner than 12 days after that with a first response kit? I 'knew' when I got pregnant this time round, but didn't get any result on a test until 12 days afterwards, so I wouldn't waste your money (or emotions) before then... Good luck!
