Possible pregnancy

[Pasaeoco01]

Hi all, this is a bit of a post asking people’s thoughts as opposed to seeking confirmation of pregnancy. Just trying to be as logical as possible really.

So, I don’t really recall when my last period was - it usually arrives around 25th of the month which I remember as it’s near payday. On 18th August I had stomach pains and cramps which I thought was odd as my period would be early. I’ve just realised that my period didn’t arrive yet!!!

I do sometimes get bad ovulation pain which might account for the pains on 18th August which would make me 14 days since ovulating - still no period?

Cycle is usually around 28 days. I’m starting to wonder if I could be pregnant? I had one instance of unprotected sex where me and hubby had a few too many 😱. I’m currently feeling zero symptoms of either pms or pregnancy (I have 2 boys already). It doesn’t help that I can’t recall any dates but lockdown, 2 kids, a puppy and trying to WFH has been a bit manic!

Am I worrying unnecessarily and just sit tight for a bit longer or should I consider testing - seems a bit too soon for that?

Thanks for any thoughts.

the month I found out I was expecting I had no symptoms of PMS or pregnancy and didn’t get any symptoms for another fortnight after, I’d take a test if I were you, it’s definitely time to test if you were due on the 25th xx

Thanks for this cmbxm I appreciate your comments. I think because I can’t recall my dates I just kept thinking I must be mixed up and due soon. With both my boys it took a long time to conceive so I feel like the chances of being pregnant from one mishap seems highly unlikely but appreciate it’s totally possible.

On the other hand things have been stressful at home so it’s likely that it could be delayed because of this. I guess only a test will tell xx

I had IVF with my daughter after trying for 3 years. I'm now 7 weeks after falling pregnant from just one night so it can happen!

i literally had cramping and sat for weeks thinking i must have been super late or stress of WFH or moving just delayed mine. i however hadnt had a period since my gyno op from july (so july - april when i tested), so i pretty much sat on ‘maybe its something else’. pregnancy was the last thing i was thinking at that point, a test will defo tell and put your mind at rest aha!

Thanks JLLWM. I’m still more inclined to think my period will arrive shortly but you never know. I prob won’t have a chance to get a test until Thursday so will wait until then and go from there. Really appreciate your response and congrats on your pregnancy x

If you normally come on around the 25th then it's definitely not too early to test. I got tests delivered from Amazon Prime if you are struggling to get to the shops for one. Good luck x

Thanks Seb9. I did look on Amazon and first delivery would be Thursday now which is prob the same day I can get to the shops which is a shame as now I’ve thought about the situation it’s driving me nuts.

It’s so annoying I can’t remember my dates!! Anyway time will tell xx

A quick update - period arrived today which admittedly is a relief. No idea what has happened to my dates and cycle.

Lessons learned - have downloaded a tracker app for my cycle and back to surgery for more consistent contraception!!! Thank you those who replied and given this forum is about pregnancy good luck to all those ladies TTC, those on their pregnancy journey and lovely mothers who already have their beautiful babies xx
