I have got a horrible feeling I am pregnant. I am sat here looking at my boobs and all concerned.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

They are covered in blue veins and feel itchy inside.

I haven't been pregnant for donkey's years so have no idea if this is normal.

I have no idea when I am due on (period every 4-6 weeks, and it is so light normally it only last half a day, is blibnk and you will miss it) and had my last period in middle of December I think.

This will teach me for having the regular 'don't you bloody get pregnant' chat with dd yesterday during One Born Every Minute.

I know I should get a test but gawd knows if it is too early or not, plus it is pissing down and I can't be arsed to go to the shops.

[ProfessorLaytonIsMyLoveSlave]

Logically should tell you to wait a week and then test. But I have no impulse control and it's your money rather than mine, so I think you should test RIGHT NOW (or as soon as you can buy a test).

[TrillianAstra]

I agree with Poledra. We need a timetable

[NoCarpForMe]

I had a period mid-december 2008, tested on january 11th which was negative, and then again on the 16th which was very positive indeed :o so today may be a wee bit early for a cheapo test. I also did the 'buy half the shop as a distraction' thing, and ended up with a t-shirt, 3 packets of biscuits, a loaf of bread, 2 apples, and a pocket torch. DH still wears the t-shirt, I didn't realise until I got home that it was a mens t-shirt.

how exciting/terrifying!!

Zillion x posts - only 32! I STARTED ttcing at 32.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

poledra.

Yes, typical you lot, taking he piss

Mind you it probably serves me right for being a bit of a pisstaker myself.

I am slightly curious about your DH's job Pol, where he gets free prergnancy tests

Well, I am just going into work now and will get a test at the end of the day, so no updates until later this evening (but probably not til tomorrow morning as I am seldom online at night).

So i will let you all know later I promise!

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Her silence may mean she is out buying a test now...

Although, don't you work full-time GOML? Still working in my neck of the woods? Only I am just off to Tesco myself, and could have a test with you in 20 mins...

[Dumbledoresgirl]

Aargh, bloody x posting.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Yes I know am probably considered a young mother at 32 nowadays, but I had thought I had DONE my mothering bit.

So, all my teens and 20s with a young child. If preg all my 30s with a young child and 40s with a young teen. When am I going to get MY time of going on the rampage with tequila? In my 50s!

Pissing self at ProfLayton 'it's your money not mine so take the test'

[AbsofCroissant]

Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! Do you have to go to work? We I need to know now. How am I supposed to be productive today?!

And how come you get to start work after 10?

[wekingbeat23oforientare]

Get the test, I tested at 5 weeks and got a BFP....failing that you could change your name to Getoffmyitchytits!! :)

[AbsofCroissant]

Buy the test on the way to work, do the test there and update us.

Thanks.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Well, I stayed up til midnight last night to go on a conference call hosted in Taiwan, so didn't finish work til 2.

I do this once a week and work mumsnet from home the morning after and go to work at lunchtime.

[ChippingIn]

FFS go and take a test you moron!

[ChippingIn]

That is how it goes isn't it

It's very exciting - from the comfort of my sofa :) I bags second dibs if you decide after a week of having it, it was a mistake

Seriously though, you do need to do the test and have another talk with DH - stuff the boring practicalities, it sounds like you would both really, really like another child x

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Right I have got to actually go now.

You lot are so demanding. No I can't get the test on the way to work - i am not pissing on a stick in the work loos and shoving pregnancy tests up my jumper sleeve a la tampons at school for you lot

[nickelbabysnatcher]

talking of ttcing - Reality, are you going to join the viroids thread?

GetOrf - dirty, dirty old woman
you're 2 years younger than me, and i've only just started ttcing.

but if you really can't handle being a mummy again, i don't mind if you want to do the pregnancy and birth bit, and then I can take the baby off your hands

[AbsofCroissant]

And, if you are, how timely! Just after you finally got to read the tattoo-crossword baby name thread! I'm sure it will inspire you

[floozietoozie]

[GwendolineMaryLacey]

I did exactly that, pised on trhe stick at work, then had ants in my pants all day because I couldn't tell anyone!

[nickelbabysnatcher]

good plan, Foghorn.

[Katz]

just marking my place because i am incredibly nosey!

Is it a bit like you have the men from the tetly tea bag add who were cleaning all the pipes (old bat emoticon if you don't remember the ad) inside spring-cleaning your boobs?

I had that - dd is now 13. Another sign that I found before it was time to test was that using a nice fluffy bath towel felt like someone attacking my nipples with a cheese grater.

I had convinced myself that at 41, overweight it would take a lot more that 1 act of unprotected sex to get me pg, 3 months after stopping the pill and having had 2 iuds. Late 1980s they were thought to be too dangerous for people that had not had children. Dh was very upset that he didn't get longer to practise before getting it right

I had convinced myself, like every 16/15/14/13 etc year old, that taking a risk once or twice, that nothing would happen, I was wrong just as they are.

Still, despite us being 61 and 54 there are times when it's really lovely having a 13year old.

Good luck - don't test too soon, nor too often and comfort yourself with the thought that tests are no longer as expensive as they used to be, so you can afford at least 10 for the price of 2 13 years ago.
