Hey, my fiancé and I have not be actively trying and we use either condoms or withdrawal method as contraception (we both agree that although we're not trying, a baby would be a blessing so we don't mind the risk that withdrawal brings). We've had sex 3 times this cycle using withdrawal successfully. I believe a couple of times was around my fertile window (I track my cycle because it's a bit irregular). I am currently on cycle day 30 and AF has not come yet but on average she show up between day 28 and 32 so that's not too unusual. Since friday the 3rd (cycle day 25) I have been feel nauseated every day pretty much all day long. My boob have also been SO much more sore than they have ever been as a PMS symptom and my nipples are so sensitive and more perky than usual. I don't think my areolas look darker but putting my bra on this morning felt like tiny needles were stabbing me in the nipples... I've also been bloated and gassy and had on and off headaches, cramps and back ache... if AF doesn't show by Friday I think I will test.
I feel like I really could be pregnant and tbh I'm really wishing I am but I feel like I might be setting myself up for disappointment because although I've got all these symptoms, they could be PMS and although there is a chance with the withdrawal method, that chance is slim.
I made this tread so that I can talk to some people who may have some insight and to just generally be able to talk to someone about everything. I know no one can tell me if I am pregnant or not but I'd like to know what other people have experienced and weather I'm being stupidly optimistic thinking I could be pregnant...
