My period is 9 days late and I have very sore nipples and am frequenting the toilet more than usual.

I am 36 years old with a SS 15, DD 13 (not DH's) and DS 6 from me and DH. The fact that DH had a vasectomy shows that we never wanted any more children. But the more that I think that I am pregnant the more I am coming around to the idea.

BUT I know that DD will not want to go through with it.

Have spoken to a doctor and she was very 'matter of fact' with the information that this does happen and she thinks that I am pregnant too. Did a home test yesterday which was negative, but that happened with both my previous pregnancies and they were only confirmed by a blood test.

Doctor said to wait 5 days, if still no period do another home test, if still negative she will send me for a scan.

I think that the next 5 days will kill me! DH knows that my period is late but as I recently had my dose of citalopram upped he has put it down to that, but doctor said that this would not affect my periods.

What on earth am I going to do if I am pregnant???

well as I see it if you are pregnant you have 2 options

would DH be supportive?

DH will be totally against another baby I am sure. To be fair neither his boy or our boy were planned (I was on the pill when I got pregnant), and the fact he had taken the 'drastic' action of a vasectomy just proves how we never planned any more children. I really thought my days of worrying about getting pregnant were a distant memory.

I just dare not tell him at the moment that I am even thinking it. Need it proven first. I am going to the toilet every half hour to check if I have started my period yet but so far nothing. Did another home test today which was again negative but I am just starting to feel like I am pregnant now, though I knew before my period was even late with my two children.

I don't know if I am just convincing myself I feel pregnant the more I think about it or what. I feel sick but I think that is just nerves, cannot stop shaking!
