Have never seriously considered pregnancy, though have lurked on Mumsnet for a while, kind of getting in the mood while we set up my & DP's life to become kid-friendly.
Need someone with detailed knowledge of preg timeline here... pregnancy test currently negative. But I understand it could be false neg at this stage, and need to start psyching myself for/ organising abortion (if necessary) as my work involves high levels of exposure to known serious teratogens. Enough exposure to make it seriously irresponsible to get pregnant while I'm doing the work.
How soon am I likely to be able to tell if I'm pregnant?
Am on cerazette (mini pill, progestin-only). Have been relatively bad about missing a few pills per month at random because we have had very little sex in the last few years. We have re-instigated a sex life after some discussion about this.
Had sex 19 June, 3 July and 31 July.
Have noticeably found it harder to fit into jeans, felt sick & dizzy frequently, needed to pee more often, in the last 4 weeks or so. Had a strong metallic taste in mouth for a week from the 5th July. Had light bleeding last week. Extremely tender & enlarged boobs last few weeks.
So i could be 9 weeks, or I could be 5 weeks, or I could be 2 weeks. The 5 week one fits best with the symptoms.
Please, please, advice.
