Anyone feel like they were going to start period and find out they were pregnant??

[Lizson]

I normally have a period between days 32 and 38 and am currently on day 35. Since day 32 I have had increasing menstrual cramping like pains which were awful yesterday and overnight needing lots of paraceptmol. I stil have not had any bleeding yet though. Tired, nipples itchy and slightly sore and have a heavy bloated feeling (kinda period like).

Normally I have cramps and then a fews hours to a day later I get af but nothing. Anyone find out they were pregnant after this???

[MissKris]

I know this is a year later but I'm now in the same boat. I usually get my period on Day 25 or 26. I believe I ovulated on day 18. Had what I think was implantation bleed on day 28. I'm now on day 32 and haven't gotten my period. I am crampy today and feel like period could start at any moment so keeping going to the bathroom. Slept all afternoon and didn't feel very good. Have had a headache for the last 3 days. Have been sniffly. Very tired the last couple weeks. Every test has been negative so far so I think I'll wait a couple days.
Did you end up being pregnant?

Sorry it didn't happen this time Lizson - if you want a pack of cheapie OPKs for nowt, let me have your address - might be counting my chickens before they hatch but got BFP last night! Now sat here with a hot water bottle as I have had stretching cramping all day and I am shattered...still feeling sick, pinched a mint from someones desk today and had to just smell it for ages as eating it would make me feel sick...sure they thought I was mad! Excited but trying not to get ahead of myself as early days yet - due Jan 3rd if all goes well! Good luck to you all - it took us nearly a year last time but this time only three months and the first one with OPKs.

[cupcake78]

Yes every time! I'm now 31 wks with dc2. Fingers crossed

[Dusty27]

oh bugger Lizson! Sorry it didn't happen for you either this month.

I've prepared the hubby that he'll be getting no peace as soon as my period is over! I had a random missed call the day I did my neg test and the next day it turned out to be for a study that Clearblue are doing on one of their feritility monitors. I think I filled out something on their website months ago. Anyway had a lovely chat with the lady when they called back and they've sent me some paperwork out and once they get a consent form back from me, they'll send me the kit for one cycle. Can't do any harm and will save me buying one!

[Kimmy1986]

Oh I will! I'll be keeping a look out for you! Good luck! X

[Lizson]

:) I'm ok actually. Not quite ready this month. Go go at it all guns blazing next month with ovulation sticks and rigid temp charting. Wish me luck!!

[Kimmy1986]

Booooooooo!! ??

[Lizson]

I'm out guys. AF arrived last night. Booooooooooo!! Good luck everyone else!!! Heres hoping for next month!!

[Kimmy1986]

Sorry this is me just back on, can't believe there's still no sign, I feel like I'm almost positive you are too. I'll go to sleep with all my fingers and limbs crossed for you!

I'm quite excited for a Xmas baby now too, it'll be nice to dress it up like a wee reindeer (they're gonna love me, ha ha!)

My sister has ordered me a wee journal called from bump to birthday as my first present, she's wildly excited! I can't wait to get it so I can start sticking things in it, I've kept all my appointment cards and stuff for the midwife.

Think im going to get an earlyish night as I've had a little wobble tonight, think it's just cos I'm knackered, I just feel really scared something bad is going to happen, I'm actually driving myself crazy!

Report back in the morning! I really really hope you get your BFP!! X

[Lizson]

Hi missmakestuff. Sorry didnt see your post last time I posted. Really hoping you get your BFPs hunny. Its bloody horrid all this waiting around. I am still getting BFNs but just feel very pregnant now. My boobs are like giant sponges lol!!! What are your thoughts on an xmas baby. I am quite excited at the thought now. I would prefer him/her to arrive outside of xmas day but I think december is a lovely time for a baby to arrive. Magical!!

[missmakesstuff]

Good luck - I think it is entirely possible that you are, I have had the weeing tons thing, like a bloody racehorse! I do seem to remember that I constantly felt my period was going to arrive but it never did with DD.

[Lizson]

If I am really honest right now from the way my boobs are feeling and looking I could put money on me being pregnant....I hope I wont fall flat on my face from saying that!! LOL!!

[Lizson]

Not noticed the need to wee much cos I am drinking a lot so need to wee from that but am very thirsty. Boobs are bigger defo though and still no sign of period. Just keep feeling a bit wet down now and rushing to toilet to find watery lotion type discharge and getting occasional cramping which make me feel a bit sick and sweaty. Got one last preg strip fro tommorrow morn and then gonna leave it until I have well and truly missed my period. Mind you by then I will prob know one way or another.

[missmakesstuff]

Hi, I feel I must join cause my body is sending me crazy..I have had very sore boobs and other small things have made me think this month might be the one, we have only been trying 4 months and it took much longer last time so I am trying not to symptom spot constantly. However period due tomorrow, I have since Sunday been feeling horrific nausea in the mornings and on some days all day. I nearly had to stop the car on the way in this morning as I felt so sick. Have been shattered since about 5DPO, which is ridiculous because I couldn't even have a symptom at that stage. Have had cramps though this evening, very low down, quite sharp pains, so am assuming this is it - although obviously getting my hopes up that it is just my body kdding me and will get a BFP. I did pee on one of my OPKs just to see as it didn't feel as serious as peeing on an OPK (I know! Crazy!) and it was a very dark line, nearly as dark as the test line yesterday.

Don't want to POAS tomorrow as I would have to do it in the morning and then be at work all day as am there till the evening, really need to wait till Sat morning when I can take it in if it is BFP and get chance to chat to DH about it....but expecting flo to arrive overnight or tomorrow...
Why can't we just have some really obvious sign that we are/are not up the duff, I hate this, turns me into a crazy lady..

[Thurlow]

There's no way of knowing without poas, but it does sound good if it is different from your usual pre-period symptoms. Good luck, make sure you let us know!

stonebaby, I remember needing to pee constantly in the first trimester, it was worse than the last trimester!

[StoneBaby]

And what about the constant need to wee?? I need to go every 40mn!

[Lizson]

Ok sorry for the constant updates but still very confused. My breasts are telling me waaay otherwise. My veins are now standing up, areolas look bigger and darker, bra feels much tighter today and they are hurting me on nipple area and if I run down the stairs they hurt a lot. Starting to get hopes up again. Keeping this quiet from hubby though!!! Want to be absolutely sure!!

[Lizson]

Ok sudden increase out of blue of yellowy discharge. Thinking Af is on her way.

[Lizson]

Sorry to hear nasty AF arrived Dusty27!!! Rubbish when you get your hopes up. Yesterday I became adamant I was pregnant and then today I am beginning to think I am imagining it all again and will get my period any minute.

Do you think having strong cramps for 4 days now is a poss pregnancy considering I only normally get them a few hours before or a day before I start my period. This is the only thing that makes me wonder as it has never happened before.

Me and hubby had big barney last night prob from me being cranky and teary so worried about everything so much.. Just need to know!!!

[Fakebook]

I did with this pregnancy which is my third. I actually got implantation bleeding about 6 days before my period was due, and thought it was the start of my period. I put in a pad and my period never came. I had all my normal pre menstrual symptoms, feeling bloated, teary and craving chocolate. I never even thought I might be pregnant until I took a test a week after my period was due. Tbh I never felt like this with my other two viable pregnancies. With those, I never experienced my pre-menstrual symptoms, so it can vary between pregnancies and women. Good luck.

[TheTiger]

Fingers crossed for you.

I felt exactly like I do when I'm about to start my period. Hope you get that BFP

[Dusty27]

Lizson I feel the same, hate telling my hubby as it gets both our hopes up. But I'd never do a test without him so I had to. Got AF this morning so have been an emotional nut, crying on & off :-( hope it's better news for you x

[Lizson]

hi ladies. Cramping, cold sweats and very hot in the night. Not writing temp down this month (went on hols and lost track) but taking it every morn now hoping it wont drop. My temp is unusually high compared to last month is this a sign of pregnancy and will it generally drop before I get a period??

Really feel like I'm coming on today and feel quite down about it cos had kinda started getting my head around having an xmas baby. Went and told hubby last night that there is a possibility I am pregnant but I always find as soon as I tell him I end up getting my period so feel like I have tempted fate now.

Been feeling really off today. Did anyone get the hot flushes, feeling sicky and cold sweaty that you sometimes get with periods. Basically what I am asking is can pregnancy feel exactly the same??

I think by the end of the day AF is going to show her ugly face to be honest. Getting much wetter down there so kind of expecting it. Another negative preg strip this morn is making me think I am not preggo. Boo!!!!
Day 36 today. Giving it till day 39 and then visiting dr if no BFP by then.

[Dusty27]

This thread is making me feel a lot better. I'm on day 28 now, usually my cycle is 25 days, sometimes only 22. Took a test this morning and it was negative. If no sign of AF in 2 days I'm gonna get a couple of cheapo tests. Thanks ladies, felt so down all day, hings feel more in perspective now.
