Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone,

waves nervously at the crowd

I'm new to all this. Hubby and I have been ttc for a while now, with varying degrees of enthusiasm.

A couple of weeks ago I went for a scan and was told I had ovulated, so I dragged hubby home and had my wicked way with him. Since then, I've had sore boobs, a sort of crampy/period beginning feeling in my lower abdomen (over the last 3-4 days particularly) plus a couple of really wierd sleepless nights. Plus, sounds mad but I've been burping lots (!). Had a bit of blood spotting this morning but nothing major.

My periods are pretty wierd - cycle lasts around 34 days which, according to my calculations means that this month I ovulated 17-18 days before my next period is due, which sounds WAY too long. So basically, I think I am due on Saturday.

I took a pregnancy test this morning and got a negative. So I'm very confused now - shall I just wait until Saturday and test again?

Sorry for the spiel and nice to meet you all :-)

You might be! With my second baby I just knew I was pregnant even before taking the test, just kind of felt pregnant but can't really pin point why!

I "just know" too, but the negative result this morning has thrown me a bit and now I feel a bit of a hypochondriac!

Sorry to say thism and you already know really, but you've tested too early and will have to retest at the weekend

I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Good luck bubblegum girl, I had all of your systems and thought it was just period pain but turned out I was pg. unexpected tho, I guess eating 5 cucumbers in a week the following week concerned me a bit!!!! Good luck fingers crossed zx

Hi everyone again.

Am trying not to obsess but failing. Can anyone help? I have been getting a bit of rusty coloursed spotting, just like I do in the run up to a normal period. Has anybody else had this and subsequently had a positive pregnancy result?

Thanks xx
