Am I preggers? How often has that subject header been written?!

[perkster]

Had a brown discharge and some abdominal pain a few weeks ago which I thought might be implantation and geared myself up for a positive test. Did 2, one day before period due and one a couple of days after both negative. I have had this REALLY strong metallic taste in my mouth periodically which also makes my mouth quite dry. Have been drinking more cold drinks recently as been thirsty so there are some signs. However all of this could be wishful thinking.

This would be 2nd chiddler and we are taking a casual approach to conception. I don't think I am that stressed to cause period to be late but I'm now over a week late.

Any advice? From what I have read so far on here there are lots of women who didn't think they were and went quite a while before finding out!

Are you sure when you ovulated, or a week late based on normal/average cycles? You said you are being casual about it, so I'm assuming you aren't religiously checking CM or taking temps etc? Cycles can and do vary in length.

That said, I am fairly sure when I ovulated, am a day late (this never happens) and also had a BFN this morning. I've been TTC for nearly 2 years, so it's rather more like that I'm not pregnant, than I am.

I have read on here anecdotally of people who didn't get a positive for ages so hopefully you will be lucky. Try a different brand of test, perhaps?

Thanks muddywellynelly, I am regular as clockwork but you're right I haven't been testing temps or anything.

I'm trying not to get hopes up but fed up of the metallic taste guess its a waiting game!
