So... recently married. Came off the pill over a year ago and using condoms since then. Generally sensible but admittedly less than perfect on safer days. Planning to start TTC at the beginning of next year. Not really in our plans for a baby right now but wouldn’t be a total disaster, although we’d lose a grand on flights for a holiday booked mid next year and I’m working towards a promotion that might not happen as a result (I’m aware these are very, very flimsy reasons and if I’m pregnant we will of course find a way!)
Have noticed in the last couple of weeks that 1) my boobs are killing me - feel really heavy and tender to touch. When I took off my bra last night there was a noticable ‘ugh’ as they lost the support - this is unusual and not usually an AF symptom for me. 2) My sense of smell has gone mental - I can smell the cat’s litter tray all around the house now, not just in the spot it lives. Have been searching under the bed for poos that DH can’t smell at all! 3) I think I’m peeing a bit more than normal but that might be psychosomatic as I can’t remember how frequently I’d go before!
Cycle is 35 days since coming off the pill, am due on Friday. Should I test now rather than waiting til the weekend? Recently I’ve been a bit convinced I’m pregnant every month (figure it’s my overactive brain trying to prep me for ttc next year?) but this feels different somehow. Hmm.
Sorry, I’ve been on here years and the answer is always ‘we can’t tell you, you idiot!’ and I get that. Just wondering what others would do I suppose...
