Am I pregnant or going crazy?

[emilyylouise]

Hey everyone,

Going mad here... just ordered some clear blue tests so hopefully they be here by the end of the week! However I'm driving myself up the wall...
Current symptoms are
Sore boobs & enlarged nipples (can't even face wearing a bra)
Stomach cramps
Migraines
Not sleeping well
Constipation and I've been put off certain foods.

I took myself off the pill beginning off November but the past week or so I've been having all the above symptoms. Does anyone have similair symptoms? Sorry this would be our first if I am pregnant! 🥰

Sorry just to add - we last had unprotected sex on the 19th. I don't really look into ovulation times as we are not actively trying for a baby however if it happened we would be super happy 😀

They could well be pregnancy symptoms but really there is only one way to find out.

Is your period late?

Hi Emily!

My dates are quite similar to yours in terms of coming off the pill etc, and I had quite a few of the symptoms you mentioned - we received a positive test on the 27th and 28th! I’m planning to take another tomorrow morning as I just can’t believe it happened so quickly but I have also booked in with my midwife so I’m keeping all fingers crossed!! (I even bought another pair of tests to try again next week as I’m just so flabbergasted how lucky we have been!) 🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed for you too . xx

Hey!

I was on a pill where I didn't get periods so for me it's very hard to know if I'm "late" or not .. but all the symptoms above are very very unlike me so really not sure what to think! Would it be too early to test? They should be here by the end of the week!!

@larrythelizard

Hey! It's hard for me to tell as the pill I was on stopped all my periods! So it's very hard to know if I'm "late" or not 🤷🏼‍♀️ just the symptoms are not like me at all! Just driving myself crazy waiting for these tests lol

I don’t think it would be too early to test but if you’re not 100% sure where your cycle is up to, and it comes up negative, it may not be 100% accurate. (So I’d test again maybe next week?)

(I used a tracking app and basal thermometer so I had a good idea of when ovulation was expected!)

P.s I’m the same Ali - I just didn’t like my username 😂🙈

Thank you! I have now got a app but where I didn't have periods I've only just started to use it from last month as I came off the pill beginning of November. Just very hard to work out ovulation dates etc but I have ordered 2 tests so maybe I'll do one this week when they come and the other end of next week. X

Good plan! I got myself a “Femometer” basal thermometer too - it was very helpful to see the dip and rise of temp and helped the app track my cycle really well! :-) fingers crossed for you . xx

@AliClaire777

Oh haha!! Just didn't know if my symptoms was relevant to early pregnancy or if I was just racking my brain constantly thinking about it! It's hard to not get obsessed 🤣

I have a similar timeline to you!
Stopped pill in November, TTC first child.
Not sure about my cycles as been on the pill for many years, stopped bleeding 30th November.
Not sure if this means I could be pregnant or just that my periods aren't regular yet?
Baby making boggles my mind haha.
Best of luck!

Hi everyone,

Took a test today and was negative 😓
Still no period and symptoms getting stronger so think I will try testing again next week Incase it's too early 🤞🏻

@emilyylouise sorry you didn't get the positive you hoped for, fingers crossed it will happen soon!
I test on Monday and was also negative but still no period, think I'm going to try and enjoy the new year and test again next week.
