Hiya, new here, so be gentle with me!

I may be going mad (think DH thinks so!) but I think I may be pregnant!

Quick history - we were TTC for three years with no BFP. Then I got a new job and found TTC too stressful and was so upset every month that I said I'd like some time not trying. So for a year we used protection.

Recently we've started thinking about it again and have booked to go to an open evening at a fertility clinic next week just to get some more details.

Just over a week ago we had sex and DH was dashing about trying to find condoms and I said oh just don't bother. In the back of my mind, I thought well if we're starting to try again we don't need it and it's not like anything's going to happen anyway.

I didn't think any more about it. That was last Friday. (About two weeks after start of AF).

Then on Thursday, I had some blood. And it hit me it could be implantation bleeding. I'd had cramps all week, but hadn't thought anything of it. I started adding things up, took a test but BFN (too early or maybe I am completely wrong?) I was taking cough syrup last week for a persistent cough and realised on an old forum I was on on people used to take it to help them to conceive!!

Thought I'd wait a couple of days so tested first thing this morning. BFN.

Then I have breakfast. Peanut butter, which I love, on toast. It tastes rank. Like the nuts are off. But it's a new jar. I open another jar which is just as grim.

And then I remember at a conference I went too yesterday the tea tasted rank too.

So I've convinced myself I'm pregnant! But the tests say no! Any opinions? I'm prob not due on until Friday so I guess I should wait until it's come but that's easier said than done!

Sorry for the essay! I think DH may think I'm getting obsessed again already, but some of this stuff doesn't add up! (P.s. I'm buying different peanut butter later in case the brand we have is off!!!)

It's way too early to test and probably a bit too early to have much in the way of symptoms so don't get your hopes up too much. At 4 days before AF is due a sensitive test will give you an accurate result about 60% of the time. Be patient.
Test on Friday. Fingers crossed!

It's far too early to test- you are just wasting money! I did have some symptoms a week before Af- nausea, fatigue and cramping so you may not be mad but try to be patient! Fingers crossed for you

Hi pussycatgal, you may not be mad but agree it's too early to test. Test next weekend or so - good luck!

Thanks for your advice ladies! I'll hold off buying any more tests. (At least they were only cheapies from Wilko - got them with my Bodyform so at least I'm ready for any eventuality!)

I think perhaps I was going mad! No more symptoms and I don't think I'm going to do any more tests this month as I felt really antsy in Sainsburys yesterday so I reckon I have PMT! Off to a fertility clinic open evening tonight, so it will be good to find out more.

Good luck tonight!

Just saw your message, thanks. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all at the moment.
