Hello. I'm a first time poster (long time lurker) so I feel a bit like I'm intruding. I have a fairly regular cycle but occasionally it surprises me by being very short. I am currently 12 days late, mum to DD18 and DS9. Since DS we have not really had penetrative sex, more mutual masturbation so it is very unlikely that I could be pregnant. I know the obvious answer is to take a test but I am scared. Surely I am only late due to peri menopause? I don't really know why I am posting as I know the answer is to take a test. I think maybe I am just looking for a hand hold.
