Could I be pregnant?

I have a son and a daughter aged 1 and 2. A week ago (midcycle) we had an incident where a condom split but, thankfully, we discovered it before ejaculation. I don't know how long it had been split, but it must have been a few minutes before we discovered it. My period is due on Sunday and for the last week I have felt very, very sick and unable to sleep at night - my mind is all over the place, and I can't shut down. I had these exact same symptoms between conception and when my period was due during my last two (planned) pregnancies. The thought of another one now scares me - I would have a 3, 2 and a 1 year old after a year!!! Talk about close together! How likely is a pregnancy under these circumstances?

Hi everyone. I have finally got the drs to send me for a scan, which is on friday. I still have all my symptoms, and in my opinion look like i'm showing, and i am also positive i can feel the baby moving. but the dr felt my tummy today and she couldn't feel anything. so now i feel like im going mad! could it be an eptopic pregnancy? and would that show on the scan? or am i just going mad? please help me!

When did you last do a hpt - surely if you were pg it would DEFINALTELY show a bfp by now?!?

ebbie22 · 21/09/2004 20:50

JUST BUMPING AGAIN

Have you got one you can do now? If it's negative now I can't see how you could be pregnant!

How did your scan go Happy1?

Reminds me once when I wasn't trying to get pg, my periods stopped for 4 months and I had a semi-positive test followed by two negative tests. I went to the drs and he felt my tummy and then gave me an internal. He said "There's definitely something in there" and I had a blood test that came back neg. A few weeks later I got my period.
I still wonder what that was all about!
What could possibly have been in there!

I feel really silly! There is absolutely nothing there! And I got my period this morning too! The woman doing the scan said they see 2 or 3 women a week who are convinced they are pregnant, and most of them have small babies, just like me. She said it's because they might have a scare, and get so paniced by it because they wouldn't cope etc that they convince themselves they are pregnant, and they actually start producing symptoms. I thought only woman who desperately wanted a baby had phantom pregnancies, but I was wrong. I do feel very silly, but thank you to everyone who has listened/advised/reassured etc!
