I'm thinking I'm pregnant?! Going insane

[catofdoom]

Some one talk me down. I'm shaking. I can't stop crying.

We tried for years to have ds who's now nearly 6. Having been trying since to have a much wanted other. Had a few miscarriages early in so I really shouldn't be getting excited.

We were told by doctors we wouldn't have another.

One of my best friends died last week and in my grief fog I had sex with dh as I knew I was ovulating (after ten years of trying to conceive you're pretty damn sure when it's happening). I knew I'd get pregnant. I've never been so sure.

Look. This is a line right??

I can't breath. I feel like I can't move ever again.

[OhioOhioOhio]

Yes. Hoping you get good news soon.

[S0uthernBelle]

Good luck, hope you get a BFP soon.x

[catofdoom]

@SecretWitch yes that's me.

Negative today. Gah. Stupid body.

[FuzzyPuffling]

At 42 I was convinced I was pregnant. I had every symptom...and no period.

Turns out it was the start of the menopause.

[Mimithemouse]

I don't get how your friend died last week but you ovulated two weeks ago?

[catofdoom]

@Mimithemouse she died on the 17th I ovulated on the 19th. Your point is? Christ I know it's aibu but some people on Mumsnet can be really belligerent, nit picky and unpleasant when it's really not needed.

[catofdoom]

@FuzzyPuffling gee thanks.

[OoohOnly90CaloriesIllhave10]

Yeah even if I thought the friend dying was suspicious I wouldn't have said anything.
You have to draw a line somewhere.

Clearly some people don't have moral boundaries. Thumbs down from me with that comment 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

[catofdoom]

Suspicious? How on earth would it be suspicious?

How can any of you even conceive that someone would make that up?

[Bellasblankexpression]

Jeez people. Why do posters on mumsnet do this? Focus on one part of the OP that’s not strictly relevant and try to pick the poster apart.
Get a life!

Ignore those posters OP. I’m sorry for your loss and really hope you get a BFP soon, TTC and pregnancy etc and all that comes with it can be really really stressful and traumatic.

[ISayWhatNow]

Cat - ignore them. Has your period started yet???

[Myotherusernameisbetter1]

OP you can order a load of cheap tests in bulk off the internet. I think I got about 20 for a fiver off amazon. I know that won't help you now but you could keep them in for next time you get the feeling you might be pregnant to save you going crazy!

[catofdoom]

Thank you.

Yes it started last night. And Sod's law it a doozy of a period.

Blew right through the pad I was wearing (always starts at night ) and towel is put down. And the washing machine is broken so I'm going to have to take an arm load of sheets that look like someone has been murdered to my in laws.

I feel like there's 100 angry men stabbing me in the womb with rusty knives. Honestly, I'll be sad to see menopause for obvious reasons but not having this horror show every month will be amazing.

I've bought the bulk tests before. I'd banned myself from buying any more as it just got daft!

[juneybean]

I'm so sorry OP, I'm currently battling infertility myself and always pin hope to that feeling of "I'll definitely know when it happens"

[MamaOfBothTeams]

I'm so sorry Op

[Bellasblankexpression]

Ah OP
Why is it always a real bastard of a period after these things, it’s like it knows and is adding insult to injury

Look after yourself x

[IABUQueen]

Oh OP you sound so happpy and hopeful. I hope you get what you are looking for.

But until things are sure, try remain objective. For your own sake.

As a sufferer of recurrent miscarriages I found it best to remain indifferent until my reassurance scan.. OR to talk to myself about how blessed I am that I was able to conceive regardless of outcome.

You are sounding vulnerable because of your grief and don’t let this be the hope you cling onto as a lifeline because you will be devastated if it goes downhill.

Congrats that you are ovulating. Congrats that you possibly might’ve conceived. And I hope we can congratulate you soon on a pregnancy that continues to thrive, but until then, wish you a calm few days

[IABUQueen]

Oh sorry Op. just read your updates.

My post is pointless

[NeedingAdvice29]

Because people frequently make things like this up on the internet for kicks OP. Surely you’ve noticed all the trolls floating about? Not saying you are one mind.

[FuzzyPuffling]

@FuzzyPuffling gee thanks. hmm

Honestly there's no need to be like that. I am telling you a truth. Might not be what you want to hear, but it was true for me and could be true for you too. It's a possible explanation. No point in having a pop at me!

[CatkinToadflax]

Thinking of you and hope your waterballooning lunatic neighbours are leaving you in peace. x

[catofdoom]

@CatkinToadflax there's a big community event on today and I'm sure they'll be going. It's quite amusing to watch them scurry away whenever they see us.

[CatkinToadflax]

Unashamedly use their idiocy to cheer yourself up!

[Bellasblankexpression]

Waterballooning neighbours? Is this another thread or I have I missed something?

[CatkinToadflax]

Yes Bellas it's another of OP's recent threads.
