Driving myself mad- pregnant??

Hi all,
I'm on holiday and packed for the expected impending period.....and nothing?! I have a 26day cycle normally- sometimes shorter and I'm now on day 29.....nothing!
We have been ttc for over a year and had 3 early mc. Thing is, apart from slight back ache (dodgy holiday beds) I feel very normal, if not a bit tired.The weirdest thing is that I don't have any normal af symptoms. No spots, no horrendous bloating, no sweet cravings. I'm driving myself mad. Has anyone's only 'symptom' been no af symptoms?!! Thanks in advance Smile

Hi, yes I have just had late af as a symptom and nothing else. Can you get hold of a test while you are there? Fingers crossed for you Flowers

Jaronior · 31/08/2017 10:11

I guess I could try to get to a pharmacy, you're right- the only way I will know is to test. I have a feeling I am, don't know why. Just scared to get my hopes up I suppose, they've been dashed too many times! It's the niggly back ache that's worrying me. Thanks ladies, I really appreciate your replies x

When are you home? Could you wait till then to do a test?

FoxTeaParty · 31/08/2017 11:40

Im not pregnant but I didnt have any symptoms with any of my pregnancies until around the 6 week mark. So i definitely wouldn't rule it out

Jaronior · 31/08/2017 12:21

I'm home on Saturday, we've driven to a little town today so might try to get one. The language barrier's hard enough without explaining what I need without little ears hearing me! Lol! Maybe I'll wait it out- if it comes it comes. Thanks for answering- just someone to ask is helpful xx

Could you Google translate 'pregnant test and show it to the pharmacist?

Either that or I would wait till you're home as it's not too long to wait.

Jaronior · 31/08/2017 15:28

Think I'm just gonna wait- it's only a couple more days I guess. I've got niggly period type pains now so wondering if it's coming, just late. I feel bloated today and my boobs look more veiny. I can keep playing guessing games but until I get home I won't know- need to stop obsessing and enjoy my holiday! Sorry for my indecisiveness ladies x

Did you fly? When we flew long-haul it fucked up my cycle for that month. Was awful at the time as we'd been ttc for quite a while. Ended up with a 60-day cycle instead of bfp. Thought I'd mention in case that's a possibility?

Jaronior · 31/08/2017 20:04

Oh my god- yes!!!! I've flown twice in this cycle- that would make so much sense! Thank you, maybe I need to just chill out before I get ahead of myself!! Hmm

At least you can prepare for another explanation. It's horrible when you let yourself get excited and it's not your month after all. Of course there's still a chance this is it for you- fingers crossed!

Jaronior · 02/09/2017 23:28

Just wanted to let you all know.....SmileSmileSmile

Oh my goodness! Very very positive.

Congratulations!!!

CaptainsCat · 03/09/2017 02:25

Ooh the same happened to me OP, got my BFP on holiday today after packing for AF and blaming the lateness of arrival on flying long haul!

Exciting times Smile

Holdbacktheriver · 03/09/2017 08:05

Congratulations op

Jaronior · 03/09/2017 08:34

Thank you! I still can't quite believe it- hope it sticks this time. The lines are so strong though- that's got to be a good sign? Hoping so Smile

Amazing update and such a strong line!! Congratulations!!! :)

MiniAlphaBravo · 03/09/2017 19:14

This happened to me last year! I did a test in the airport as I could t find any tests in the pharmacies where we were. Congratulations!

Rachie1986 · 03/09/2017 19:23

Congrats!!

Jaronior · 03/09/2017 19:24

Thank you- love hearing people's stories! Don't know how I held out on holiday. I was due on Tuesday and had to wait until sat night!

I was symptom spotting like mad whilst TTC and the month we did, I had absolutely no symptoms at all besides a complete absence of period related boob soreness, PMS etc. Then had a strong BFP and am now 29w.

Aw just RTFT and congratulations!! Smile

Jaronior · 03/09/2017 20:58

@meltingmarshmallows I know exactly what you mean- I felt nothing this month- no spots, no sore boobs, no bloating- it was so odd!! We symptom spot for months and then when we think there's no way anything is happening- bam! Lol
