What's going on here - am I pregnant or not? Or mad??

I had my implant removed at the end of May, and my period started on day 35. DH and I started TTC after this.

I'm currently on day 37 of this cycle, and still no period. I've tested negative on days 27, 30, 33 and 37. But I would put my money on it that I'm pregnant!

I had cramps for a few days from day 19, and shortly after my boobs were really tingly and sore and sensitive. They still feel sore and big. I've been totally constipated for the last fortnight, and feel bloated. I've been peeing loads the last couple of days. I felt my cervix yesterday (out of interest!) and it was raised, not low and hard as you should expect before a period, right?

I remember the boob thing and the total constipation (and early cramps) from being pregnant with my daughter, which is why I think I'm pregnant. Back then, I had been on the mini pill for years but had 6 months of periods, all of which were 28-32 days, so fairly regular. I tested postive with her on day 35.

Am I just having extended PMS?? Or do you think I could be pregnant? I've heard of some people not having positive tests for several weeks - my friend said she didn't test positive until at least day 50, but knew she was pregnant. I'm still leaning towards pregnant, but maybe I'm mad...!

Correction - had been on mini pill for years and had no periods, until I came off and cycles were 28-32.

i have the same symptoms and the suspense is unbelievable!!! first month trying to conceive hubby thinks its too soon and just wishful thinking on my part. good luck hope its a positive!!!

dramajustfollowsme · 31/07/2013 21:07

I'm very similar. My periods are very regular. It was due Sunday but nothing. My boobs are aching all the time, I'm weeing constantly and I'm very bloated. No positive test yet though. It is costing a fortune on tests.
How long should I wait before I go to get blood tests? What are you going to do next?

carolluvscats · 31/07/2013 21:16

mines is a week late and done about 5 neg tests!!! not sure how long to wait before goin to docs,,, feel silly but i think i do feel preg xx

has anyone had these "pregnancy symptoms" and turned out not pregnant???

keepswimming1 · 01/08/2013 15:50

I came off the pill after 12 years and I got my first period after 28 days , my second is due tomorrow.
I have had all kinds of symptoms since coming off the pill that relates to pregnancy.

I just hope that this month I'm feeling rubbish for a reason

dramajustfollowsme · 01/08/2013 17:06

Well I'm not pregnant. Period arrived today accompanied by the worst period pains ever. Sad. Wasn't trying but was liking the idea that I could be pregnant. We will be trying now. Grin

If its any help I found out I was pg at 21 weeks. Long story. But I did a test at approx 12 weeks and came out negative! Never been able to explain that one... Test not faulty all done right etch so it is possible!!

The borrower - I had the implant out a year ago and my cycles are still crazy so it may be this is just then regulating. Iv had anything between 80 and 35 days so far! Hope you have better luck than me Hmm

theborrower · 03/08/2013 22:27

80?? Blimey.

I did have lots of CM around day 28 or so, I thought it was pregnancy increase. Is it possible I didnt ovulate mid month when I observed it then, and did then instead??

Will be well p*ssed off if I'm going to be having really long cycles like this!

If your cycle was 40 days then yes you could have ovulated at day 28. I would advise taking your temperatures too so you have a better idea if you're ovulating!

theborrower · 03/08/2013 23:37

Hmm. Why would I not have ovulated I observed CM
Earlier? Got to admit, don't know if I can be arsed have time or know how to temp. Will happily observe CM though as that's easy. Will look out for it again next month!

absentmindeddooooodles :" I did a test at approx 12 weeks and came out negative! Never been able to explain that one... ", just to let you know that it is the "hook effect", when you have a high level of hcg in your system the test effectively overloads and gives a false negative. If you had diluted your urine (I think the dilution rate needs to be 10/1) then the tests would have turned positive. Sorry this is not relevant to the thread, but just a little aside for absentmindeddoooodles.
