Hi guys,
I’m all very new to this so let me give you a bit of information about myself; I have 2 chn- a boy aged 7 and a girl aged 4! Before having my son I came off the pill (that I had been taking for 8 years), had what I thought at the time were normal periods for 6 months then had nothing at all for 6 months followed by 3 normal periods and then fell pregnant always had 28 days cycles! With my daughter I hadn’t been back on the pill that long so I came off had about 5 normal periods straight away and then fell pregnant, regular 28 day cycles again.
So we wanted to wait until our little lady was at school before we started TTC baby no.3! She started school in Sept 20 and I had come off the pill in July (knowing it may take a while for my body to get back to some sort of normal after being on the pill for a good few years again). I had no bleeding until October and since that first bleed my cycles have varied in length; 32 days, 31 days, 34 days! I had never before tracked my ovulation but with my cycles varying in length I thought it best to try this month! So my last period was 9th January so I expected ovulation to be around 23rd January; dtd every other day! Bought some clear blue OPKs and randomly tested 26th 27th 28th and just a empty circle but on 29th at 4pm I got a smiley followed by another 2 smileys on 30th (1 in the morning and 1 in the evening) and yet another smiley on the morning of 31st...by the evening we were back to an empty circle! During that time we dtd 24th 25th 27th and 30th! I thought this would be enough!
Now I’m on day 28 of this cycle which would previously have been the day my period was due, I had a negative pregnancy test yesterday (but hoping it was just too early), I’ve had terrible heart burn around 2pm each day for the last week, dizzy spells, blue fingers randomly and today I feel very bloated almost like period is due and back achy!
What do you guys think the chances are that I’m pregnant? I really want to be pregnant but I’m worried I’m getting my hopes up! I don’t realistically know when to expect my period and each day is dragging; I keep going to the toilet every 5 minutes just to see if my period has arrive! Feel like I’m going insane!!!
Anyone else been int he same situation? Would love to hear your stories or have some advice x
