So I got the idea in my head that I could be pregnant. It was all a bit of a joke with DH (we already have 2 girls) but then I started noticing (or reading into!) Symptoms.
About a week after ovulation, I had quite strong cramping for a day. Didn't think anything of it at the time other than it was unusual.
I've been overly emotional, had a rotten chesty cold (can't remember the last time I had a proper cold that wasn't just sniffles, other than when I was pregnant) and had strange shooting pains in my breast.
I usually spot for 4-5 days before my period.
I was due on yesterday.
Thanks to my tendency to overthink, I did a Sainsbury's pregnancy test on Saturday. A faint blue line appeared but then actually disappeared.
I did another the following day which was a blatant negative.
Spotting started on Sunday to which I figured, that was that - the daydreaming of bumps and baby cuddles can cease.
But I've been cramping. Which NEVER happens. I only ever cramp (badly!) For the first day or two of my period. I have never had cramps with spotting and the cramping has been pretty non stop. My appetite has also been a little off when usually I'm eating everything in sight in the lead up. Have felt a little nauseated at times. Migraine today - yay.
Due on yesterday and still nothing (although my cycle can often be a day early or late). Did another Sainsbury's test (found an old one in my drawer, a month in date) Again, BFN.
I'm sure it's wishful thinking and if nothing else, it's certainly opened the dialogue with hubby about a potential number 3 but what do you think? Is there a glimmer of hope? Anyone have similar stories?
