Am i pregnant?

[halaboo]

Hi ladies,

Apologies for barging in, but i'm hoping you might be able to help me.

I stopped the pill 4 months ago so we can start trying for a baby. The first three months after coming off the pill were interesting - my hormones were all over the place (turning me in to a bit of a monster for the most part) but my period was arriving regularly and on time each month. Then, this month - i've found that i've been really really tired - to the point where i can barely keep my eyes open during the day. Also - and apologies if this is too much information - but my CM is clear and stretchy (rather than dry like it usually gets before AF arrives). Also - and more importantly - my period is 5 days late! I tested on saturday and got a negative and then tested again today and got the same result. I'm very confused and wondered if any one can offer any advice?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you know when you ovulated?

some people don't get a posisive until 10 days after period due. keep testign every other day in the mean time. When do you think you ovulated?

Oh and make sure that you are takign folic acid (just in case you arent already.

Thanks for coming back to me ladies.

I was due to ovulate around the first of the month but actually, it happened around the 7th. So i suppose i just need to be patient for a bit longer. The test said it was 99% accurate and that it can show a positive result up to 4 days before AF is due so perhaps i'm wise just waiting for another 4 days and then testing again.

The frustrating thing is, i feel something different is going on. I could put the tiredness and metalic taste down to my brain playing tricks on me. But the different CM, and the fact that i just don't feel bloated at all..that makes me wonder..

Thanks very much for your responses. It helps to have people put my mind at rest. I'm sure i'm not going crazy (but then people would say that even if they were crazy surely!!?)
