Conception

When's the best time to get pregnant? Use our interactive ovulation calculator to work out when you're most fertile and most likely to conceive.

Another could I be pregnant thread - you must all be sick of them! (But there's a little bit of 'what the hell causes this?' mixed in for problem-solvers)

As above, I'm doing that stupid thing that we women do: drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out if we're pg way before it could show on a test. My symptoms are:

Weird pain in my rhs (I know I sounds like a nut job now, but bear with me: this was the first sign that I was pg first time around): started like someone was moving a knife in a slow spiral where my waist nips on the rhs, but gradually started to shoot pains down to where my womb is and up into my chest. Turned into more generalised lower back pain on the rhs yesterday, and this morning (I've just got up as I'm a shift worker), it's like having a really bad stitch where my waist nips in again on the right. Like I say, weird pains like this one that I couldn't attribute to anything in particular were the first sign of my first pg, and I've never had them since, so I'm hopeful. Anyone know what the hell causes it though?!

Nipples swollen - but only the nipples rather than the whole breast, though I think my breasts may have got slightly bigger (neither of which generally happen with me before AF). Also nipples more sensitive when DP touches them.

Montgomery's something-or-other (those bumpy things on your nipples) seem to be more numerous and more bumpy than usual

Dizziness and headaches - though tbf I had these last month and I wasn't pg Sad

So what do you think? Much chance? We had sex every day through my fertile period, after which I up-ended myself and lay with my legs in the air for a good half-hour Grin. Also been using fertility lube.

When are you due?

Glad someone is doing the 'legs in the air for a good half hour' this is how I conceived DS after being told I couldn't conceive.

You need to POAS

8 days before your period is due is far too early for any "symptoms", really. Hmm

Ooh raraz i am due on the 7th to! Will you poas on that day?

Flogging : I know.... Hmm But in terms of the pain, first time around I had that 9/10 days before my period was due, and breast changes before then too, so it has happened before. Could easily be coincidence I know, especially as my cycle isn't totally regular and I haven't been charting it for long, but I'm pretty in tune with my body and I know that this isn't 'normal' for me.

Nottalotta: I hope so! Spose it depends if AF shows up! Hmm Are you hopeful this month?
