Hi all
We decided to start trying in November for #1 and as my last cycle was only 23 days, we must've missed November. So, I'm counting December as cycle #1. So we started trying and now I'm on cd30. I was convinced AF was going to arrive last Monday as I started having cramps. They've lasted constantly (which is unusual for me) for the last week and no AF. I took a test on Saturday and it was completely negative, nothing my to see there, however it was a tesco one which is probably not the best to use. I used the ovulation tests starting from cd10 but ran out as they all showed up negative, so it may be that i ovulated late this month. However, I did feel some cramping on 30th November and could've ovulated then which means I'm now 14 days po.
The problem is, it's my birthday on Friday and I have the girls coming round for a girly night (usually with lots of drinking). So I need to know by then. There is no way on earth I can keep it a secret from them if I am and not drinking, but also if AF hasn't arrived and I take another test Friday morning (which is the current plan) and it comes up negative, then I'm left in limbo! I personally feel that maybe I am. But are we lucky enough to have conceived in my first cycle? Ive been having headaches and been really bloated the last week and a half.
I'm so confused and spent the whole weekend convinced that I am. But I want proof!
