Could I be pregnant?

17 replies

Bingeremma · 14/03/2015 19:22

I'm 21 ttc baby number one.
My last three cycles have been 44 days, 43 days,39 days.
This is the first cycle we have ttc.
We have been doing the deed for over a week now unprotected.
However normally I notice a lot of discharge in my knickers some time during the cycle . This time I haven't had much but did have some on Thursday 7th and Friday 8th although nothing like normal.
I don't know my luteal phase as I have only just started to follow my periods.
We had sex on fri 8th.
Today/ yesterday I have noticed I have very dark skin on my inner labia, normally it is bright pink.
My bf says my boobs feel heavier and look bigger. We took a photo and compared it to a photo from two months ago. He can see a difference. He also says theirs a very prominent vein on each boob that he has never seen before. And he says my Areola looks darker ( normally brighter than nipple, now same colour)
I have also been sneezing more regularly ( four times today) he says I rarely ever sneeze and quite a few times last week although I dunno if it was just last week or before then when it started.
I feel fine in my self. No sickness etc.
Am I clutching at Straws or could I be pregnant?
I normally feel some sort of discharge leak out of me during my cycle. I didn't feel that this time but did have some in knickers and around my vulva on thurs 7th and fri 8th.
He has also examined my cervix and for the last few days he says it feels soft and high. We can also occasionally get a bit of white / creamy/ milky discharge from it. Surely if I ovulated my cervix would of gone back to normal by now and be low and hard and it hasn't. We have been checking since Monday
Thanks for your help

No offence but how are a load of strangers on the internet supposed to know if you're pregnant?

I never said they would know.
I said " could" I.
Based on what I wrote.

It's possible but its impossible to know for sure. It's amazing the symptoms you can find when you're looking for them. Last month I had them all and got a negative.
When is your period due? A test around then is the only way to find out! Good luck

It is due 23rd. If its 39 days like last time.
Thanks. My bf is convinced I'm pregnant and I'm convinced I've had an anovulatory cycle lol x

If your period isn't due for another 9 days I'd be surprised if you'd have much in the way of pregnancy symptoms. The fertilised egg is unlikely to have implanted yet as that takes 7-10 days from fertilisation so you're not going to be producing any hcg.
I'd say that it's possible that you're pregnant but you could easily not be so try not to get your hopes up too much. Give it a week and then maybe do a test

Thanks

Oh really.
My boyfriend is convinced I am. I am not and have a feeling I have had an anovulatory cycle but why else would my labia suddenly have changed to a deep colour?
I have tested twice and negative. But I know it could just be to early.
Are we reading to much into the signs?

Last period was 13th February. And cycles have been ranging from 39-44/45 days. I noticed discharge on the 7th and 8th which could of been ovulation but normally I get a lot more. And then today/ yesterday we have noticed the labia changing/ boob changing/ cervix being high and wet and soft all week with the occasional bit of creamy/ milky/ white discharge being on the finger when tested and the sneezing.

Try and note down all of these symptoms somewhere. Hopefully you'll be pregnant and not need them, but if not next month you can compare. Maybe these things are normal for your luteal phase but you never noticed.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 15/03/2015 07:53

You had unprotected sex so yes, you could be pregnant. Have you ever examined the colour of your labia and the position of your cervix before? I think a lot of the symptoms when you're TTC come from the fact that you're noticing things that you've never paid attention to before because you've never had reason to. We TTC for 12 months. The month I didn't have any 'symptoms' at all was the month i conceived! In reality id probably just stopped checking as I assumed it wouldn't happen.

Good luck with TTC and fingers crossed!

Thanks.

My boyfriend said last week he thought my breasts where bigger and heavier before he even knew that could be related to early pregnancy. He also says his seen my nipples enough to know if they have ever been like this.
My labia has never been this colour before, and I see it everyday when I masturbate and wash their etc.
We examined my cervix today again and it still came out with white milky creamy discharge on my finger even though I'm getting none in my knickers.
I havnt sneezed today but did four times yesterday and a lot last week . ( could be related to pregnancy I read)
My boyfriend says my cervix is never normally this high as before he has always felt a resistance when using fingers... Which would indicate my cervix being lower.

Why don't you just get some tests rather than having your boyfriend examine you!? You can get 2 packs in Poundland! Or if you are worried about whether you're ovulating you can buy OPKs quite cheaply on Amazon

I have tests. But to early to test positive.
I have opks to and used one the other day. Negative

If it's too early to test positive it means you don't have enough of the hormone in your system which also means by the same token that you are also too early to be having symptoms.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 16/03/2015 10:17

With all due respect OP no one on an Internet forum can say anything other than 'yes you could be pregnant if you had unprotected sex. Test when your period is due'. I hope it goes well for you.

mumtoaprince · 16/03/2015 20:11

hi was wandering if any one has experenced this, i had unprotected sex on the 7th and on the 9th i got diarrhoea and have had it everyday since and today i had brownish spotting which is 9 days after intercourse could this be early sign of pregnancy????

sizethree · 18/03/2015 08:56

Hi, I think you both need to relax a bit. No offence but this is really strange behaviour and your bf sounds quite frighteningly controlling. This really isn't a normal approach to TTC and is setting off a lot of control alarm bells.
I hope you get the result you want. But your relationship sounds terrifying.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 18/03/2015 11:32

Agree with sizethree. Checking your cervix for you etc seems like quite bizarre behaviour for a couple who have just started TTC. Relax, test when/if you're late on your period. TTC can take a while and it will be quite an arduous journey if you are symptom spotting/obsessing to this extent every single month.
