Why worry before it's necessary honey?

It's probably fine. You're probably far more sensitive to your body because you are worried.

I had a similar thing when DD was about 6 or 8 months old. The test was neg but I panicked myself stupid for about 3 weeks beforehand. Given that you've got a few weeks until you can find out for sure, there's not a lot you can do. From what you say, I assume that you'd keep it if you do turn out to be preg, so I'd just sit tight and try to keep calm, extra stress is very likely to postpone your period even further. Good luck !

its weird 1 sec i think its great and i love a bro or sis for dd but the next i think god id need to give up my job we would have less money. yeah i would keep it i dont agree with abortions (although i dont judge people who have had them its personal choice) and i dont think dp would be very happy about it

The most reliable test will be 2-3 days after your period was due, although you can test from 2 weeks after the unprotected sex- whichever is sooner. Just to warn you for the future though - unprotected sex just after your period is a really dodgy time in terms of fertility - you start to become more and more fertile after your period and as sperm can live for up to a week, I wouldn't recommend it. Don't forget about emergency contraception if you slip up in the future and want to avoid pregnancy at all costs! I hope you get the outcome that makes you most happy though. Take care.

Also, to add to the doom, I concieved the day before my period was due!

expatinscotland · 06/01/2006 22:29

thank GOD we didn't 'play w/fire' this afternoon!

here's hoping you're not if you dopn't want to be.

hellomama · 06/01/2006 22:30

Colditz - you DP / DH must have super sperm!!!

CaptainDippy · 06/01/2006 23:16

lockets - There's 15 months between my 2 DD's - it is not so bad - but it does have it's moments!! starshaker - Test!!?

Auntymandy · 07/01/2006 11:42

how soon after AF was it?
You are most fertile (genrally) around days 11,12.Remember sperm lives for 5 days. so ok ish upto 5-7 days. this is only a vague outline and dont take it as red! Saying that I use it and have had no unexpected aditions!!

Beetrootfultoyourself · 07/01/2006 11:43

18 months between my 3 (then 2 years between 3 and 4)
It fine.

starshaker · 07/01/2006 11:43

torn really want another baby but dont want to give up my job even though we will prob have the same amount of money thinking about it. i just like getting out the house and doing something. aaarggghhh i dont know how i feel.
