Am a regular poster but am not up for being identified.
I am well into my 40s, no sign of anything vaguely menopausal and have always had fairly regular 28 day cycle. I don't take note of when period due as I get PMS quite badly, and always live in hope that if I don't know when it's due, then perhaps I'll bypass the PMS. I also don't know when my last period was, but it was certainly well over a week before 8th Jan.
Dh and I use condoms but got a bit carried away early this month (8th Jan to be exact) and had a bit of rumpy-pumpy before using one, but only for couple of minutes before seeing sense and using one. I know that it's still possible (but unlikely?) to get pregnant that easily ??
I haven't had any PMS symptoms this month, and also no sign whatsoever of impending period which, at best, has to be at least 7 days overdue minimum.
I take Dothiepin (dosulepin - an anti-depressant) daily which, according to leaflet in packet, is not recommended when you're pregnant as not enough is known about effects. I have also had to take Voltarol (diclofenac potassium - an anti-inflammatory) this month. Information here says not to take when pregnant (can cause deformities). So now I'm shit scared about the whole thing. I still have to take the Dothiepin tonight.
Dh is being lovely, but even he doesn't know how scared I am about this. He said we can buy a test in the morning - but is it really too early to be doing a pregnancy test? Should I be ringing doctor? Yes, I probably should, I know - but am I going to get laughed out of the surgery because this really is too early?
I so need someone to give me some advice here if they possibly can, even if it's to tell me I'm getting worked up over nothing.
