Hey ladies! How are you?
So here are the facts:
I am 38, madly in love with my husband, we have 2 children (1 and 5) and my husband has 2 children from a previous marriage who are 11 and 15 who live with their mother and who are with us every other weekend and half of the holidays.
Before Christmas we went to New York without the kids to spend a week together under the christmas lights and magic of NYC and we acted like newlyweds, making love almost everyday while enjoying visiting the city.

I stopped taking the pill in 2011 when I realized it wasn't doing any good to my body and as I'm lucky to have a very regular cycle, I know when I'm ovulating (approximatively) and we manage to be careful during these days...

My first was conceived in 2017 and my second in 2021. No pregnancies in between.
Here we are end of 2023 and during these holidays we really were acting like teenagers 🙈 and we didnt pay attention to my cycle.

We would be thrilled to have another baby even though it was not the plan, but

I've been feeling sooooooo tired lately (this is what made me test for my two sons), I have period cramps, heartburn, feel like my boobs are bigger, feel like I gained a little weight, intuition, I am two days late, everytime I feel something and I think AF is here, its only watery discharge.

But I tested yesterday and it was negative...

I am confused...

anybody to chat with me?

Pregnancy tests are usually >99% accurate when your period is due/ late. So I would trust the result and assume AF is just late this cycle.

Sounds like it was a great holiday though, I'm jealous. I considered going New York last September but the hotel prices were criminal.

Ok, so I'll just wait...
Yes, it was amazing, and we stayed at a friend's house.
We flew all the way from Switzerland, paying a hotel would have been impossible.

Will keep you posted... it's my 3rd day and AF is still not there. I'm usually not late... but who knows.
Woke up this morning with slight nausea... I will test again on Monday if AF doesnt show.

Maybe you ovulated later than you thought and your period isn't due yet/too early to show on test?
Test in a few days.

Ok, so now I have "ovulation like" disacharge. It's egg white discharge.
I felt a real drop and thought, ok, now it's AF for sure !
Nope, it was egg white discharge...
Yes, I will test again in a few days
