to think I might be pregnant despite not having sex since my last period?

[ThisIsSurelyImpossible]

I am going mad aren't I?

I have not had sex since before me last (heavy, 4 day long) period. That period was totally normal. It arrived bang on time and was exactly the same as all my periods. I seriously doubt it was implantation bleeding given how heavy it was and how long it lasted.

Before that period I had only had unprotected sex once, early in my cycle (so eight weeks ago) when my Persona said it was safe.

For the last few weeks I have had a very specific kind of nausea. The kind I have only experienced when pregnant. I have thrown up after drinking alcohol (this has only previously happened when pregnant). My boobs hurt. I am tired. I have constant mild period pains (another symptom of early pregnancy for me). I have not even thought of testing because that would be madness wouldn't it????

How could I possibly be pregnant when I have not missed a period, have not had sex this cycle (so would have to be eight weeks pregnant already) and the sex I had was eight weeks ago at a non-fertile part of my cycle?

Should I test or would that be a sign of paranoia?

Um, my guess would be that you aren't pregnant, but do a test or go to the doctor if you want to put your mind at rest!

I would POAS, at least if it is negative it will put your mind at rest. AFAIK it is possible to have periods when pregnant, I knew someone who had one every month when pregnant with her DS.

Peeing on a stick will be far more informative than asking us.

Get a test from the pound shop.

It's possible; happened to me, had sex a few days before period. Somehow the sperm must have swum upstream.

Have you had any angelic visitors lately? I really think you have to poas, for the sake if your head.

Do a test?

Crikey some of the things people ask on here amaze me!

How on earth will anyone on here know?

if of

Should I test or would that be a sign of paranoia? no it would be a sign of wanting to find out whether or not you are pregnant.

Choccy - if the unprotected sex had been just before my last period I would think there would be a chance I was prgnant. But mine was long before even ovulation. My period came three weeks after the unprotected sex.

I have heard of people who have periods when pregnant but I can't believe they were regular, heavy periods.

I know I should test but I am away with work at the moment and IF it was positive I would need DH and I would not be able to concentrate on important work trip. If it was negative that would be fine but if there is any chance of a positve test I need to wait until I get home.

I think you are pregnant.

I don't think you are pregnant.

Has the reality changed? No? Stop speculating and take a test.

If you had sex 3 weeks before your period I would say there is a good chance you are pregnant, I could be wrong but I thought ovulation was pretty much in the middle of your cycle so approx a week after sex and sperm can survive for a few days in the fallopian tubes so assuming you are more or less on a 28 day cycle it isn't impossible.

Immaculate conception, perhaps?

OK, OK. It is a stupid question to ask. In my defence I am sitting on a train worrying and feeling nauseated and, as I have explained, I cannot test until tomorrow night so I just wanted to get some reassurance.

Clearly I am BU to even ask MN!

Oh OP, it's only because there is nothing anyone here can say that will make any difference to how you feel or can influence anything because you either are or are not!

This isn't a situation where your handling of the matter can have any influence on it at all.

Why would you need your DH immediately? Surely it would be better to know. Or are you saying you can't test without him being there?

Many people like a good POAS thread, so don't worry about the grumpy posts. It is true we don't know, however sometimes you just have to vent! I think you should test asap as you are only going to be distracted and wondering anyway, when you could have a clear yes /no.

Exactly purple!

You're almost certainly not pregnant and have some virus/are run down which would explain the vomiting and abdominal pains. Sore boobs sometimes just happen or can be ovulation or PMS or anything really.

Test when you can to rule it out (or in). It certainly wouldn't be a sign of paranoia to poas, just sensible. I find it's an excellent way of inducing a late period - grrr, scumbag uterus

I don't want a third DC. So if it was positive I would panic. That is why I do not want to test while I am away. I know I am obsessing right now but when I get to my destination I will be able to convince myself that I am just being silly and I will concentrate on work. If I test and get a positive nothing will distract me and I will want to be home so badly.

So far I am taking comfort fromt eh fact that neither this thread, nor goggle, are providing examples of people wh have had a heavy period three weeks after conception when conception was at a infetile part of the month (I usually ovulate 11 days before my period, so sex 21 days before my period seems pretty safe).

Are you sure you have not had just one big hangover?

You're definitely pregnant

Or not. Maybe not. I dunno now actually. You might not be.
