Am I pregnant?

Hi I am a complete newbie to mumsnet so sorry if i get anything wrong! I'm worried I may be pregnant and whilst of course there are much worse things that could happen it would be completely unplanned. I last had a period starting 3rd June,and my cycles are usually 29/30 days, meaning I was due 5 days ago. I have had continual back ache and lower abdominal pain similar to my period pains, but more significant and ongoing, and with no signs of any period! I am probably just being paranoid as we use condoms,I'm aware we did have intercourse around the time of my ovulation but I didn't worry because we always use protection. I know the obvious answer here is just take a test- has anyone else had an experience like this?

Yes we agreed if no sign of AF by tomorrow I will test but can't stop thinking about it. The cramping is really confusing me.

I'd take a test. Either way the cramping sounds unusual so I'd see the doc if no period appears by monday, preggo or not. Hope all is okay, could be an exciting turn of events?

I had cramping badly with my first dd pg. I think it was something to do with the uterus expanding.
If I were you, I'd go get a test, and poas just to see where you are at.

Thanks. I know testing is the obvious answer I think I may just be in denial! Am literally running to the loo every half hour in the vain hope something has appeared. I feel guilty feeling like this too because I know so many people have such problems conceiving!!

Do you know that you definitely ovulated? If you have ovulated later than normal, or not at all, then your period will also be later than expected.

No idea as I only track my periods as not trying to conceive but I've had a 29/30 day cycle for the last ten years without fail
