could i be pregnant

[mummy2t]

hi all, we have 2 boy's one 5 the other 9 months. want to have another baby and said we'd start trying after xmas. my cycle is average 25 days. last period was 8th nov and we had unprotected sex on the 19th nov. i have worked it out that i was fertile then. is that right? today i have started getting cramps like period pain although period isnt due yet. tummy is really bloated too. would be happy if pregnant, just cant wait. what do u all think?? am i daft??

thanks barbie but dr later conf it was an early mc due to hcg levels in blood, and thyroid tests all come back fine! i have had a number of tests at drs now and all come back fine and healty so dr keen for me to try another few cycles before trying anything else!! cd 76 would drive me insane!!

dr also recommended that i use a persona to monitor my cycles though i had a lot of people on mn dont feel its the best thing for me to use, it did indicate that i ov this cycle - though i do know i could have had a lh surge and not ovulated so its just a matter of waiting i guess!

thanks clutter junkie fingers crossed thats the casexxxxx

wishing.....I got my peiod today

We weren't trying...but dh's mum died last month and when i had symptoms i got all sentimental that i got pregnant at the time she died.

I'm 41... and thought i had gone past the yearning to have a baby...but this has just reminded me how much i'd love a 'happy accident'

trouble is...after this 'scare' i don;t think DH will 'take any chances' again!!!!

oh clutter junkie im so sorry - sending you loads of hugs!!! Hope dh wants to try again!! take care, thinking of you!!

Hi all!! Well yesterday day 25 ( which is normal ish cycle for me ) i tested and got BFN! :-( literally 2 mins after testing i got AF :-( but for some reason it hasnt started properly, got it 36 hours ago but not having to wear nothing more than a panty liner, i am usually the super duper taxpax plus pad kinda girl!
Got cramps but period isnt starting properly! the test i used ( Did afew cause i am a head case ) was one of the nhs ones, suppose to be for early pregnancy. not sure what to bloody think! Cramps are quite bad now, pretty certain Af is on her way big time. Sounds like we are pretty much all the same boat.
sorry to hear about your MC wishing, i had one afew years back but sinc had another bubba, he is 10 months now

keep in touch everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi All,

Not good news on this thread! Big hugs Clutter Junkie. why do things have to be so hard.

I took a clear blue test yesterday and got a very very very faint line - not sure if it could be an evap line though think it showed up in about 20 mins. Going to test again tomorrow and if its negative going to give up on this one. Still got sore boobs and threw up twice this morning - maybe I just have a bug as by now if I was pregnant I should have a dark line.

Oh well......... Lets see how we all get on next month for those who are going to try again.

Mummy2t keep us updated on AF...

big hugs clutter! i am in same boat AF has finally started in a big way :-(
Cazza, sounds promising let us know how u get on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mummy2t

thing with me is i have 3 boys already...and really thought i had gone past feeling broody!!!

I'm planning to have a tummy tuck next year....(i have alot of psychological issues with my body...i only love my body when i am pregnant)... and that i feel is what has triggered all this....they advise you have it done once you've finished having children.

so when my boobs got sore 2 weeks ago (now i know that was after i'd ovulated!!!!)... and my IBS (irritable bowl syndrome) just stopped and i was constipated (not had that for 3 years!!!!)....and then you can't help it can you....you start to notice all these little things that you are sure indicate that you are pregnant!

in the past i have been scared stiff i was prgnant....but this time...i felt it was a good thing...and like many of you... bought those tests of ebay....5 for £1.88....which meant i was able to test away to my hearts content.... then spend ages turning it this way and that until... tilting it towards and away from the light... i finally admitted it was negative.

And as if to rub it in... this period is awful...the joys of being 41 i suppose....my body reminding me that it is preparing to shut down...and if i want to have another baby- i'd better hurry up!!! (apparently periods get worse leading up to the menopause)

I'm quite aware most months when i ovulate...so if i tied DH down on 'that day' ....so he had no choice in the matter...and jumped on...i'd probably concieve!!!....DS3 was planned...but only when DH agreed one 'try' .....and i just happened to be ovulating!!!!

I am aware i am being very silly...as truthfully, this was entirely just my hope that DH had been a bit more careless than usual....deep down i knew the chances were slim... but i just hoped.

back 11 years ago...i had what the psychologists said was like a 'phantom pregnancy'... as i had severe postnatal depression...had not had sex for 6 months or more.... and was convinced i was pregnant....

I wish i could love my body as it is...but this pregnancy 'chance' has just reminded me how empty i feel.

oh clutter junkie i feel for you im so so sorry, hope you can have one last go at it!! thinking of you! i know it probably doesnt help but just think about the beautiful children you have some ladies never get the chance - i hope this doesnt make you feel worse, im really not trying to upset you more, im just trying to think the way i would feel if i was in your shoes........im still ttc#1 and that is sooooooooo hard!!

sending you big big hugs!!! You 2 mmumy and cazza xxxxxx

thanks wishing......sorry what i posted last night sounded so depressing....and NO...what you said is lovely...did not upset me!

I AM so lucky.... i have never knowingly miscarried...I do think i did once...but cos i had never been tested positive ever before...did not realsie i had been pregnant till 6 months later when i was pregnant----and recognised the symptoms!

My boys are independant and chatty.... and certainly keep me busy....and they have all got a form of Autism (Asperger's Syndrome) which would mean NOONE would understand WHY i would even contemplate another baby....as the new baby could have Aspergers too.... but as a Mum of 3 with ASD.... I really do not know any different....and for once in my life do not care what anyone thinks!

Also a daft thing is my DS3 LOVES younger children and babies....and whereas the older 2 were never interested really in their younger brother...HE is fabulous with babies...so i think i have this 'rose tinted view' of how HE'D love me to have a baby!!!!

(p.s DS3 drove me insane this morning getting ready for school....and I still am sat here craving a baby!!!!)

WISHING...meant to say fingers crossed for you!

Hi All,

Well I am defiantly not! Completely negative test on Friday. On to another month to try again....

Think I may go to see the doctor early next year if no joy feels like we have been trying for ages. (which we have!)

You are always led to believe getting pregnant is so easy, which makes it so hard when it take so long. At least we have sites like these to vent frustration.

Hi all, been a while since i was getting abit over the top wondering was i or wasnt i!!
well now i can say i am!!!! found out yesterday!! yippee!!

Congrats mummy2t!!! Im sorry to i jack but did you have a feeling you were pregnant before you tested??? What symptoms did you have? I really dont know whats up with me, wonder what you think?
We werent as careful as normal from the 31st to the 4th Jan, have a 4year old, 2 year old and 7m old so we werent planning anymore YET but since then I keep getting the feeling that Im pregnant again, its hard to explain, like a feeling in your womb that somethings there??? Ive had period type cramps since about a week after the 'careless' week, also had shooting pains in boobs (still breastfeeding so could be that) overwhelming tiredness so I felt like I was drugged (Im normally used to sleep deprivation!) nose is stuffy and I keep feeling a pressure on my bladder. Also keep 'feeling' life AF is here but its just loads more watery discharge that normal, clear but was brownish the 1st time. Ive been doin ebay tests but they`re all negative. Even went to the Drs Mon to check I didnt have a bladder infection and I dont. Got Tesco tests coming tomorrow but Im expecting BFN again, periods havent returned yet but came back t 7m with the other 2. What is wrong with me? Im going mad!!! Xx

ahh shoeshine, your careless week was same time as mine!!! we have 5 yr old, and 11 mon old!! always wanted baby no 3 but didnt expect it yet!!
havet really felt any different other than boobs slightly sore. mycycle is usuall 22 days, i tested on day 22 with digital clearblue test and got BFN but then waited until day 29 and go the positive with ebay test and a normal clearblue test ( also tested in the day, not in morning )have your tests arrived????? ohhh its exciting!! keep me posted xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tesco tests came and BFN! Gona try 2 forget about it now unless I start throwing up! lol. Not much point me tryna do first morning wee as Im always up in the night w the kids (mostly baby) anyway Your age gap will be lovely, only 17m between our 1st two and its great! I feel slightly embaressed for being so 'sure' I was pregnant when I could be paranoid and imagining it!lol, never mind, Ill keep you posted! Take care hun Xxx
