So, we tried for... one month. Have started slowly. I know it sounds really stupid, and I'm really really embarrassed about it, but I really really thought it had worked (my mother got pregnant at 32 in two weeks honeymoon, so had an example ;)) 
.
Because, I went off coffee and alcohol, didn't get sick, but just did not feel like any of it. I still don't, actually. Went off too much food at once, had cramps in the middle of my cycle (never have that), had constipation for two weeks (sorry tmi). Was tired at 5 o'clock every day, had to pee a lot as well and was thirsty all day and even in the night sometimes.
Tested on the day AF was due, and it was -ve. I could not believe it, nor could my hubby, because he independently of me, had been thinking that I was acting weird, was looking pale etc.
Now AF is there but is a bit less, I think, than usual. I have not been on the pill for 7 years, so it can't be that. I was late as well, and normally my cycle is clockwork.
Is it really possible that your body thinks 'You know what, I'll just do as if I am expecting, because you never know. So will just be tired, will want water a lot, will make the kidneys work.' We were seriously not symptom spotting. And there was not really a reason for any tiredness as I had nights of 9-10 hours.
Second question: do all hubbies start to get a bit 'over concerned'. Like today, he comes home and says, 'How is Peter (our name for AF)?' And then later, 'How is it normally?' I mean, shall I just hand him my pad for him to sniff and examine or what? I find that that is something private and I'm not going to go into detail (if there is any to go into).
Sorry, long, but just needed to know ;).
