How likely would it be that I am pregnant ?

It is many years since anything pregnancy related has had to cross my mind, so i'm not sure wether I am imagining things or what.

I am not 100% sure of the date of my last period, but I think it was about 16th May. I came off the pill a few mths back and so haven't really been paying much attention to when they are, just how painful they are.

Anyhow, I had sex on 28th May and used withdrawal method ( i know i know, fuckwit). Anyhow, since yesterday (7th) i've felt a bit odd, slightly queasy and just not quite myself.

It would be too early to be getting pregnancy symptoms, right ?? More than likely a bug ??

There are a million reasons why being pregnant would be a disaster, and yes, I know I should have thought of that before using such a shit method of contraception, but it was a heat of the moment thing.

So, i'd now like you all to say 'no no, def not pregnant' lol.

Oh and i would test, but i am assuming that it would be way to soon for anything to show up.

umm don't know, but I'm going to watch as I too have a niggling feeling that I may be pg. like you, don't really pay too much attention to dates but realised this morning last period month or so ago. Haven't been as careful as could have been, can't really decide if want another dc or not. Too scared to test!

Sorry, bloody phone!

StupidStupidStupid · 07/06/2012 14:32

Ok shelley, we can drive ourselves nuts together Smile

I would love another baby, but it would just not be at all practical in any way, and just a very bad idea so i'm hoping i'm not.

If you think you are late though then i'd def test. It will put your mind at rest.

shelley72 · 07/06/2012 15:44

have no idea if im actually late yet - have not kept an eye on these things properly since DD came along Shock. just have a feeling in back of mind that i might be / could be, not sure why. no symptoms at all apart from feeling knackered - but have 2 DCs who wake v early and ive had a coldy thing andlots of stress this last week or so. but then didnt have any symptoms with the others either.

wouldnt be a bad thing as such, have made no secret that i would like 3 in an ideal situation, just i think reality may be different - would be scared of telling my mother for a start (and she worships her GC)! and would be a squish with room sharing, already lucky to have one of each who adore each other and i wouldnt want that to change. ooh i dont know. am sure that by writing everything down now, AF will be imminent!

you test first!!!

StupidStupidStupid · 07/06/2012 17:30

I think it is too early for me to test isn't it ?? Tbh, my youngest is 9 and a half, so I am very out of the loop wrt to testing.

I can't say too much, as ive name changed and don't want to out myself, but I already have 3 dc and i'm in a very very new relationship. It would be a big disaster.

I think I am just going to wait until I am actually late. I can't afford to be testing just cos i feel a bit queasy.

shelley72 · 08/06/2012 07:11

Yes it may be a little early to test yet. Some tests work from a couple of days before you're due,hopefully you will be worrying about nothing, I can imagine it's been far from your mind with older dcs.

I'm not pg. and actually I feel a bit sad about that as I had managed to convince myself that I may be. Asked dh last night if he would be ok with it if I was, he just replied 'course, as long as you are' so I'm not really sure why I was worried at the prospect, esp as we have been talking about it, and he is happy enough to do the practising Wink. I think having two children is usual, it's almost expected but if I was to announce a third im sure it would be met with frowns and disapproving looks. I think the thought of going from 2 to 3 and what others would say scares me.

Anyway, I do hope it all works out for you, thinking about it its probably unlikely that you are?

StupidStupidStupid · 08/06/2012 08:03

Aww sorry to hear that Shelley. At least now, you know that your dh would be fine with it, and that's all that matters.

Personally, I found going from 2-3 a breeze comapred to going from 1-2.

I am going to try and put this out of my mind for now and cross my fingers lol.

Ok, have figured out that I can test on Monday I think. I am scared to death.

shelley72 · 10/06/2012 08:11

how are you feeling now stupidstupidstupid (which you're not btw)? just to say i hope you get the result you want tomorrow, have you told your OH yet of your worry?

StupidStupidStupid · 10/06/2012 11:40

Thankfully, the sickness has dissapeared so i thinik it might have just been a bug.

I had actually not been seeing the possible father for very long tbh, and we split up last night anyway so being pregnant would really not be good.

I will update on here once my af hopefully arrives and thanks for asking how i am.

OP posts:
bonzo77 · 10/06/2012 11:53

Possible definitely. You had sex 12 days after your period started. Sperm can live up to 5 days and an egg one day. So if you ovulated between days 11 and 16, which is pretty normal, you could have conceived. I got nausea 9 days after I ovulated and a BFP a day later. You must poas!

StupidStupidStupid · 10/06/2012 12:47

Oh shit bonzo Confused

God i am so fucking stupid.

Thanx for posting anyway bonzo. You are right, i need to find out don't i. Will buy a test in the morning. Cant get one today as it's my birthday and were having a big family meal.

OP posts:
bonzo77 · 10/06/2012 12:58

Happy birthday! What a "gift". Hope that whatever happens turns out for the best for you and your family.

StupidStupidStupid · 10/06/2012 13:50

Thank you Bonzo

StupidStupidStupid · 11/06/2012 12:02

Test was negative. Bought a double pack so I can test again if period doesn't arrive soon.

OP posts:
bonzo77 · 11/06/2012 13:00

Thanks for the update. Hope you are ok.

shelley72 · 11/06/2012 15:58

Oh that is good news for you, had been wondering how you got on. Hope all the worry didn't spoil your birthday too much. Hope you are feeling ok now

StupidStupidStupid · 14/06/2012 13:47

Well several days on and still no period, but another negative test.

Managed to work out my last period dates and i'm on day 29 of my cycle today. I think i've been as late as 34 days before, so it could still arrive I suppose.

According to due date thingies i'd be 3 weeks now, if i was pregnant. A positive result would have shown up now wouldn't it ?

OP posts:
StupidStupidStupid · 14/06/2012 14:03

I used first response early tests if that means anything to anyone.

Sorry to go on, but i am going a bit crazy.

OP posts:
TheLittleFriend · 14/06/2012 14:24

I know you don't want to hear this, but a positive almost certainly wouldn't have shown up by 3 from your last period, unless you ovulated very early. It shows up around 4 wks from last period. Good luck though, hope you get the answer you want.

StupidStupidStupid · 14/06/2012 14:44

Hmm, if anything, i think i ovulated late.

I'll have gone insane by the time i do find out. I keep analysing every tiny detail of my body.

I think i have decided that i will keep the baby though. Not sure i that is a good or bad thing tbh and I know that alot of people will be against me, but i have to do whats right for me.

Thank's for the reply littlefriend.

OP posts:
shelley72 · 14/06/2012 17:42

sorry, i've only just come back to this. bugger about no AF still, but yes it may be a bit too early to get a result.

i am glad now that you have had time to think that you have worked out what you would do if you were pg. you have to do what is right for you - never mind what other people think or say. its YOUR decision either way.

hope you're ok.

StupidStupidStupid · 15/06/2012 20:32

Thank's shelley. I am ok, just desperate to know one way or another.

Had period type pain back ache today but i had that with my other pregnancies, so that doesn't mean alot. Have also had a horrible taste in my mouth and felt a bit urgh all day.

Spoke to the dad today and he is being supportive, and wants to be involved if i am pregnant, so thats good. He is a nice bloke so i thought he would be ok. We are just not good together unfortunatly.

I am sorry to keep rambling on, on here but only the dad and my friend know and so it's hard to sitting here thinking about it on my own.

My period turning up would still be the best option, but i think thats looking more and more unlikely.
