Could I be pregnant?
Hello, I'm new on here but been lurking for a while. Anyway, it's a bit of a longshot but hubby and I were planning on TTC in April. However, last week we went out, had a bit to drink and BD'd for the first time (ie without me being on pill) as much as I want a baby, I woke up aroun. 2.30am in a complete panic thinking what have I done!
I have an ovulation calendar app on my I phone and it shows we bd'd 3 days after OV and so it was not a green fertile day according to that. I'm quite regular and due on Mon. So I'm thinking surely I can't be but been having weird symptoms which might be the result of too much time on this website and paranoia :-S
I don't know how to feel, scared or excited. Hubby is excited but I'm just worried that I am not ready although at 29 I should be. Guess I might test on Tues and see what happens...

also, baby making isnt an exact science and you'd be really lucky to start ttc in april and fall in April, so dont expect too much. why would February be so bad? what difference does April make?
When are you due ur AF? xx
Hi Hun,
It depends on your cycle to when you ovulate. 14 days after your period is what is seen as an example of a 'normal' cycle-ie. 28 days. Are your cycles normally 28 days? You can ovulate at any time in your cycle though. For example-for me, I unexpectedly ovulated on day 8 last month-so super early. The time after my ovulation to when I get my period is normally 15 days for me, again that is different for everyone. So, I would say that if you knew for sure that you ovulated on the 7th Feb then 3 days after ovulation would have been a 'safe' time as fertility decreases after 1 day after ovulation. However, because you don't know for sure- you might have just caught it. Also, I think it;s totally normal to feel scared once you've taken the plunge so to speak! It's a big step. Put it this way, although it might not be exactly how you planned it- if you are pg I am sure you will see it as 'meant to be'.
Good Luck hun xxx
Don't worry about not being ready - you have 9 months to get used to it!! Also, as wonderful as it would be to fall the first time, it's not an exact science and we took 2 years to conceive.
Good luck, I hope you get the outcome you want x
if you are not pg, then get some ov tests so you can know more accurately for ttc (makes it a bit easier). me and hubby only use NFP methods since getting married and only got pregnant when we intended too, just by avoidiung ovulation.
If this is not going to be a BFP, I'll probably get myself some OV sticks for next time. I was going to get some today but thought sod it I will get a FR pregnancy test instead. It says it will give you an answer 5 days before your period is due. I have a regular-ish cycle and am due on Monday so in theory the test should work.
I have had babies constantly on my mind since September last year (we got married in June 09) but was able to put off thinking about TTC because we had a few 'last trips' to do e.g. New York, Vegas and our first skiing trip (hence the debt on the credit card). We have another big trip planned for April to Hong Kong and Borneo and I'll worry about the flying/ malaria etc later if I need to. So I would be very happy if this is a BFP.
I think I might test tomorrow morning, but the better side of me says wait till Monday/ Tuesday. OMG the suspense is killing me....
Around the day or two AF was due, had major choc cravings so didnt even think about the chances, then felt nauseaous all the Friday at work and one of my colleagues asked if i was pg, still no AF that evening so tested the Sat morning. We were shocked for the first couple weeks, didnt expect anything to happen that quickly, but of course over the moon too, can't wait til bubba's here now.
Good luck x
I guess I will know either way tomorrow/ Tues which I think will be a relief for hubby so he doesn't have to hear about all of my 'symptoms' anymore and we'll be able to have conversations about other things again!
And yes, I am probably noticing things for the first time since I was 15. Although my boobies didn't look like they do now back then!
No more bleeding since last night, and only pinkish stuff this morning and now nothing. I hope no-one at work has noticed my frequent toilet visits! I wonder whether all my thinking/ stressing/ wishing/ wondering about this is physically stopping AF coming, I hope not.
Hubby has texted me to tell me to go to the doctor, that's his answer for everything, bless!

the sensible part of me, for who ttcing feels like a distant memory (now 36+6 yeah!) wouild say wait at keast a week so you are not spending a fortune on hpt or trying to work out if the line is a line or an evap!!!
the part of me that remembers vey clearly the obsession and addiction to poas says, spend another tenner and pee fmu! i found tesco to be the best, even clearer than FR, alough testig early, at 11dpo, they both didnt give me a line until 2 mins after the time limit (but i am definitly pregnant lol).
