Hello
I'm a newbie but I've been reading the site a lot over the past couple of days. I've decided to bite the bullet and post about what's on my mind. I'm sure you lovely people can offer me some reassurance!
My husband and I are newly weds. We've been using the withdrawal method of contraception, our thinking being if something happens, it would be nice. I wouldn't say we were actively trying for a baby yet but we're talking about it a lot and preparing to move house accordingly.
My last AF started on 21 December and nothing since. A few cramps which haven't amounted to anything, really sore boobs (particularly under my arms) and sensitive, swollen nipples but that's about it really. No other symptoms (a bit of light headedness maybe). My cycle isn't particularly reliable but it's never been quite so late before. I'm also taking quite bad cramps during and after peeing.
DH isn't really taking my symptom spotting seriously. He says my AF is often late and that maybe I'm overthinking things. I know I should do a test but to be honest I feel a bit silly about the whole thing. I think deep down I just don't feel pregnant (does that make sense?) but what do I know?
I know I'm not articulating myself very well here. I'm just a little confused. It would be great to hear your views/stories
