Will be TTC from December, but could I already be pregnant?!

Hi, this is my first post on Mumsnet having lurked for a while. My husband and I would like to start trying in December so I have been tracking my cycles in preparation. We have been using the withdrawal method (I don't get on with the pill and a happy accident would not be the end of the world for us) successfully for a few years now. As I have been tracking my ovulation carefully, we decided to change to rhythm method with the view that, again, if we made a mistake it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I DID make a slight mistake...we had unprotected sex on day 9, though I later found out (that day!!) that you can get pregnant at that time, though it is unlikely. We also had sex on days 12 and 13 but he withdrew (I KNOW this is risky business...). On day 15 or 16 I had a tiny bit of spotting (in case this means anything).

It is now day 24 of my cycle and my boobs are massive and feel like boulders and the last two mornings I have woken up feeling really queasy and headachy. Sometimes my boobs do ache around this time, but they have never swollen up this much. I have also been sleeping badly and having some cramps, though this could be too much Easter Egg ;)

Am I over thinking this? Is it too early for these symptoms to be pregnancy? Thanks.

Woke up today with funny taste in mouth and boobs still like boulders. DH said nipples looked "massive" last night. Half of me says stop being silly, the other half...doesn't!

You need to do a test. Grin

I'm thinking so too.

Part of me is thinking "don't be ridiculous it's just PMS", but I do 'feel' pregnant (though I never have been before, so it could all be in the mind!"

Am holding off as AF is due day after tomorrow, so if nothing shows I will test then! Hoping I won't be disappointed if it's negative. Trying my best not to be silly about this!!!

Also, is indigestion and heartburn a sign? Have had this for days!

Is the funny taste a bit metally? If so, you're so pregnant! Grin

Well yes they are symptoms of pregnancy... but also symptoms of stress, spicy food etc etc. The only way to find out for sure is to POAS. I don't know how you can bear the wait! Do keep us posted! Grin

bellasorella · 29/04/2014 22:41

A little now you mention it....but I could be imagining! Kind of hoping I am!

Your OP is very wordy for what could have read "I had unprotected sex more than once, could I be pregnant?". Answer is yes, you could, so POAS.

bellasorella · 29/04/2014 22:47

Haha, sorry, far too many words! Guess I was wondering about the likelihood of actually being pregnant seeing as we didn't have, ahem, 'proper' sex on my most fertile days.

I'd do a test too :) and then come back and report the results

Also I like the words, bit of back round is nice!

Chillycamper · 30/04/2014 08:48

Day 5 sex = DC 4 for me. A very happy accident

bellasorella · 30/04/2014 18:22

Thanks guys :) I picked up a pack of two tests this morning with the intention of testing in a couple of days, but caved in (this was always going to happen!)

Got a BFN. Teeny tiny chance I tested too early, but most likely I am not pregnant and just have PMS sigh

Update: yesterday I thought my period was starting (a day late), but there was hardly any blood. Same story today. Assuming period will properly turn up soon as boobs have gone down a little.

I was in Poundland and picked up a preg test incase this scenario happens again. Got home and decided to test again (not sure why!)

It showed one strong pink line first, but then after 30 seconds TWO more fainter lines appeared. Am I right in thinking this can only be evap lines?

One line for BFN, two for BFP, three lines for..?!

Can you post a picture?

bellasorella · 04/05/2014 13:41

Hi again

I would do, but not much point now! Took ANOTHER test and it was negative. Then the mother of all periods turned up this morning. What a week!

cookielove · 04/05/2014 13:44

Oh no, sorry to hear that!

bellasorella · 04/05/2014 14:44

S'ok. Probably for the best I suppose. Back to our plan of waiting 'til December to start TTC!
