Could I be pregant?

[circlesanddots]

My last period was the 1st week of October so I have been expecting it since the last week of October/1st week of November, but up until now there has been no sign of it.

I have been having a few odd things. 2 weeks ago I became ill at work, I had to leave early and was off for the next two days. I can't even put my finger on what was wrong. It wasn't a cold/flu, wasn't a bad stomach or a hedache but I just felt so ill. That carried on for a few days and I still don't feel I have recovered fully, although I do think I have improved.

I am utterly exhausted at the moment, my eyes feel like they are down to my chin and it's an effort to walk straight when leaving work. I have been having headaches which I don't usually get. I feel sick every day and have been wretching, this seems to have gotten a little less. About a month ago I had a searing pain in the side of my left boob, the only way I can describe it is that it felt like a pocket of air that was burning inside. That has since subsided but at the time I couldn't even lay on that side.

I have gone off tea and coffee, I still have them at work but it's an effort to drink them and they make me feel sick. Around the time my period was due, I had the usual period pains which went on for a while but they have also subsided. I still get the occasional pain. I have also noticed now that when I stretch, the muscles in my stomach kind of hurt and feel tight. I have also been having some white/clear discharge, something I don't usually get a lot of to the point where there has been a few times where I have thought my period has started.

The odd thing is that I don't see how I can be as we were only not careful the once and this was not long at all after my period ended.

I know that the only way to find out is to take a test, but I am absolutely terrified. My partner does not want children and he would be devastated. I am terrified of taking the test and finding that I am, and I am also scared incase I am not which may mean there is something wrong with me.

Can anyone say if these sound like symptoms?

The boob pain and discharge along side the no period would suggest your pregnant to me.

I know it's scary but you really need to take a test.

How would you feel about being a single parent?

Could be a number of this at this time of year but sounds like me when i was first pregnant. You can still get pregnant just after your period ends sometimes you can have a shorter cycle and sperm can survive for up to seven days after sex. Just take a test and go from there , i bet its a cold!

I got pregnant straight after my period ended so it does happen. When i was due my period i loads of cramping usual period pains but no period. With all 3 of my children (I know this is grose) but each time i fell pregnant and period was due I had a really wet fanny with discharge.
Best way to find out is just do a test. If its positive talk to your partner and work out what you both want to do next together

Thank you all. I am terrified. I am not sure we would stay together so this is a possibility. Thankfully I own a home with no mortgage and have a job. I am not sure what would happen. I don't think he would want nothing to do with it, at least when it sank in but you never know.

I thought the chances of getting pregnant right after your period was rare and only really happened if you had a shorter cycle. It probably took place about three days after it ended.

Part of me thinks I'm not and that something else is wrong. But I have never missed a period and they gave always been pretty regular although I never tracked them. My last period was normal as far as I could tell. I have also noticed my urine isn't as clear as usual.

HAY that bit about the fanny made me laugh out loud. I'm going to have to duck it up and do a test eventually, I know this. I was thinking of maybe waiting to see of my next period shows up. I would not have a clue how to tell him!

Haha pleased it made u laugh 😂
U never know he may suprise u and be happy if you are pregnant?
Do the test. You may be worrying about nothing.

Only way you’ll know is by doing a test I’m afraid.
Who knows, your partner might surprise you

You really have to take a test, you know that. Either there's nothing to worry about and it will put your mind at rest, or you are pregnant and the longer you put off confirming it the less time you have to make a decision and/or come to terms with it.

Take a big breath, go out and get a test. If it's positive, we're here to talk about next steps.

Take a test 🤗

I have normal cycle lengths (27-28 days) but I ovulate earlier in my cycle, around cycle day 10, so dtd a few days after AF is the perfect time for me to get pregnant. From your symptoms I would say you are pregnant.

You need to test, this might not be going away and you need to find out what’s happening to make plans

You need to test, because if you are you need to start taking folic acid straight away. Not waiting another few weeks in case AF shows.

I got pregnant from a 'one off' it does happen.

Take a test sooner rather than later. Good luck, I hope it works out for you x

Even if you take a test and it's negative, you still n3ed to speak to a Dr about your symptoms as it's better to get checked out and find everything is OK than leaving it and it getting worse.
A year before I got pregnant I had horrible pains in my right side where my ovary is. The Dr just passed it off as trapped wind which I knew was not right. Almost a year later and I was still getting the pains and eventually went for a transvaginal scan to see if it was cancer/cysts. It wasn't thankfully but it's still not been diagnosed and it's pretty much disappeared during the pregnancy. I'm just glad I listened to my aunt's advice (she's a nurse) and got an ectopic pregnancy ruled out straight away. Always better to check than to leave it!
