I'm so stupidly unorganised/ignorant. Periods have become increasingly light but regular for a good few months now- never thought much of it but I'm now around 2/3 days late Shock I've been putting off POAS but tonight I'm thinking I could be a lot further on than anticipated. I've been feeling little fluttering movements irregularly for the past couple of days, never thinking anything of it until I realised that I was late this morning. I've laid on my belly tonight and it feels like there's a football between the mattress and my belly. Whilst all of this is going on, I'm feeling as though I'm having mild period cramps so thinking AF cnt be too far away, but on the other hand remembr having them when pg with DD.

just needed to offload, daren't tell DP as he is already stressed out with work, can't sleep

You know what you're gonna have to do.....

Would it be welcome(ish) news?

LorryHen · 06/05/2015 06:54

Good luck with whatever happens. It's so easy to ignore it or just assume it's nothing.

If it helps the football thing happened to me from 9 weeks and the flutters from 14.

Try a test and see what it says. I've heard that tests can be negative if you're quite far along but that could be bs.

JugglingLife · 06/05/2015 07:03

It could just be trapped wind....... Wink Good luck OP, can you POAS as soon as possible and then tell us all straight away

I've always had really heavy periods and just thought that they had maybe sorted themselves out, live in the sticks so will nip into town today to buy PT. i remember the flutters happening from around 17/18 weeks with DD but then she was my first, I haven't actually felt the flutters with my hand so whether or not it is just a muscle twitch IDK, I guess we'll soon find out. I've been on the pill and DP has been using condoms so at a bit of a loss as to how this happened as we're very careful. Still having cramps this morning but still no bleeding. Will keep you posted, had better stay away from those sheep just incase though!!

Oddly enough have also noticed that I'm quite wet down there, similar to mid cycle when I guess I would be ovulating, still cramping, getting quite strong now

POAS

WinterBabyof89 · 06/05/2015 08:34

Good luck when POAS

HellKitty · 06/05/2015 08:46

Watching!

StuffedCrustPizza · 06/05/2015 08:54

Exciting! I've heard about it not showing later in pregnancy too so even if negative might be worth a doctors appt

FluffyJawsOfDoom · 06/05/2015 09:41

I felt flutters much earlier with no.2, but it could be wind! Good luck op x

Ill be going into town this aft ladies so will post ASAP after I get results, still cramping but no bleeding as of yet, I've never been 3 says late unless I've been pregnant. Maybe my body is just playing tricks on me and AF is imminent.

I've told DP this morning, well I sort of had to! He walked in on me crying about the fact that I was trying to lose weight before TTC number 2 and that I'll be too fat to use the birthing pool, he just laughed and said whatever happens doesn't matter and that we wanted more kids at some point anyway

good luck Peppa! hope it's the news you want Smile

gaggiagirl · 06/05/2015 10:35

Eek!

CattyCatCat · 06/05/2015 10:36

Hope it will all be ok for you, OP.
If you are on the pill and using condoms it would be extremely unlikely you are pregnant, even more so considering that you've also had monthly bleeds.

It can be very stressful when your period is late and that stress can make it even later, iykwim. Good luck and I hope you get the result that you want Flowers

Number3cometome · 06/05/2015 10:39

POAS!

chasingtherainbow · 06/05/2015 12:14

{Shamelessly placemarks}

FYI. You can get in the pool if you homebirth. They can't stop you!

snowglobemouse · 06/05/2015 12:27

Sorry to keep you all waiting! DD is still having her nap but I'm raring to go. Nearly went to buy one at the local village shop but they looked a bit shitty and you know what village gossips are like ?? it would've been round all of yorkshire by now if I had!

Just been to the loo, still no bleeding but mild cramps intermittently all day really . . . . Hmmmmm what do you all think?

Mummyofonesofar · 06/05/2015 13:43

I think like Catty said it is very unlikely, and your ovulation may have been delayed - or even it could have been an annovulatory cycle - which you can have up to 2 a year so please try not to get your hopes up too much as a BFN can he devastating

RB68 · 06/05/2015 13:47

Glad DP is being great about it despite his own issues he sounded pleased :-). Other than that hope the outcome is as you want. As for the weight thing - well it saved you the time and trouble twice....

BTW I think I was pregnant at least a month before GP said I was - my cycle is around 6 weeks and entirely irregular though so completely different

Half of me is hoping not to be - I'm wanting to lose weight and am well on track with that, wanting to go back to work etc. I just don't really feel as though the time is quite right for another baby, we were hanging back a bit, were only in a small, two bedroomed house so I don't know how we would manage with 3 kiddies, DP and myself. I have a very regular cycle and always have had. 28 days on the dot. I was due AF on 3rd of this month som3 days late now - very unusual.
