Beacuse dp thinks I am odd as I dont, I keep meaning to make a note or keep track but life gets in the way.

Have got lots of pregnancy symptoms - sore boobs, throwing up at random times and too strong smells and tiredness - but doubt that I am.

Dp has just said is your period late, to which I shrugged my shoulders.

He is now muttering about me as he mops the kictchen floor.

before we ttc dc1 I had no idea, from then on I have been alot better, mainly due to 10mo of cycle watching etc.
Mostly now I know from ovulation, rather than from last period.

Not had one for years now with pregs & bf

TWINSETinapeartree · 04/01/2009 20:50

I am not ttc, ( well not consciously anyway) I will use that as my excuse.

I don't either but DH has had the snip so pregnancy just isn't on my mind!

I keep thinking I ought to keep track as when we go on holiday I always think "oh bugger am I due on?", then its a guessing game to decide.

beanieb · 04/01/2009 20:50

I used to be like this, I never really knew how long my cycle was until I started ttc

DisasterArea · 04/01/2009 20:51

no idea. and am not pg and haven't been for about 8 yrs. although of course you need to have some sex to get pg in the first place and i know i haven't done that for a while.
it appears as and when it wants to.

DumbledoresGirl · 04/01/2009 20:51

OMG Twinset. Do you want to be pregnant?

No I dont know to the day when my period is due. I do keep a note of when each one starts and how long it lasts, but I am never very good at keeping track of where I am in my cycle. I dont have a regular cycle anymore anyway.

Dh could never understand even in my regular days, why I was forever begin caught out by my period starting. I have better things to think about.

TheInnocentBystander · 04/01/2009 20:52

I can normally tell when I'm about to come on though as I turn into a psychotic, unstable bitch

Hassled · 04/01/2009 20:52

You need to think back - were you in an important meeting and fretting that you might leak? Did you run out of sanitary stuff? We're probably talking early December, I'm guessing (if that is 5/6 weeks ago) - go back through your diary/calender and see if you can associate anything you were doing with having your period.

Would congratulations be in order?

petesneat · 04/01/2009 20:53

I last had one in 2003

NomDePlume · 04/01/2009 20:53

I didn't keep a record of my cycle for years and years after coming off the pill.

Only started making a note about 8 months ago after going to see my GP about getting a coil fitted and being told that I had to be mid cycle. Fine, but I still haven't had one fitted because the surgery only runs 1 clinic for 4 patients per MONTH. So if you are lucky enough for your magic mid-way point to fall on the magic clinic date then you have a cat in hell's chance of actually getting a slot on the clinic

ReginaFelange · 04/01/2009 20:53

I have no clue. Partly my cycle is 6 - 8 weeks apart and partly don't take note of when the last one was

bodiddly · 04/01/2009 20:53

My cycle is irregular so I rarely have a clue. I try and keep note as I am stupidly heavy and need to be more aware so that I have tablets etc with me near the time. That said ... I always think I will write it down but don't then get asked awkward questions as to dates by doctors etc.

ComeOVeneer · 04/01/2009 20:54

No idea, but then I have always be very irregular (between 21 days and 65). Stangley enough I managed to fall pregnant twice without trying

Majeika · 04/01/2009 20:56

DH always knows when my period is due.... about 7 days after payday, he says!!

I have sore boobs too and am praying I start soon as I would die if I was pregnant again. Must sort out 'proper' contraception next week!!

oldcrock · 04/01/2009 20:56

Your dp mops the kitchen floor? !! Lucky you...

No, I have very little idea when my period is, but this is because I have the Mirena coil and hardly ever have any periods... Before this, I used to have a reasonable idea of my cycle tbh as I used to mark day 1 on my calendar with a red dot!

mamalovesmincepiesANDmojitos · 04/01/2009 20:56

i have no clue as i have the implanon thingy and haven't had a period in over two years. is that healthy?

if i was in a relationship i don't know how i'd ever know if i fell pregnant.

would a pregnancy be a good thing for you op?

ssd · 04/01/2009 20:57

me too!

TWINSETinapeartree · 04/01/2009 20:57

I would love to be pregnant and dp and I are working really hard to get ourselves into a position where we could have another but that time is not yet. But if I was pregnant neither of us would be upset but it would put some pressure on us.

I am really trying to remember, I normally have a bitch from hell moment before my period is due but I cant remember when my last one was. Maybe I should look for when I was alst exceptionally touchy or grouchy on here.

lol at 7 days after payday!

Do a test Twinset. Unless you can look back at a specific event.

TheInnocentBystander · 04/01/2009 20:59

Twinset - ask your DP when you last threw things, were completely irrational and refused sex....that may jog his memory for you as to when it was!

Hassled · 04/01/2009 21:00

I have more periods than you can shake a blood-stained stick at (I have issues ) and mark each one with a big giant P in my phone/calendar thing. When my cycle is normal, it coincides neatly with DD's cycle so when she's being outrageous I know I'm due.

TWINSETinapeartree · 04/01/2009 21:00

I always get pissed off if I spend money on a test and it is negative. I will give it another week.
