Could it be? When should I test....

[JEG]

So, after having my son almost three years ago my partner and I had decided we would not be having any more children (we had a very hard journey to number 1 son and didn't think we could put ourselves through that again)

Anyway recently we had unprotected sex... it was CD 8, in my OLD (pre-pregnancy) 28 day cycle, would have been a relatively safe day...

However, on thinking about it I realise that my cycles since I had my son are probably more like 22 days than their old 28 - which would make CD 8 a lot more likely to be a fertile day!

I didn't start thinking all this until this week - I'm now CD21 and have my boobs have been like rocks for four days. My skin is tingling all over (a feeling I remember from previous pregnancies) and my wee smells stronger... (sorry if tmi) I "feel" like I could well be pregnant....

When would you test?? How does the situation sound to you?? I'm trying not to get my hopes up - but this surprise possibility has awoken a real broodiness in me that I had been suppressing I think for quite a while!

I have a 26 day cycle and i got caugh from unprotected sex on day 9, so it is possible, also with my last baby scan reckoned i got caught on period or day after as was put 2 weeks ahead, so really anything is possible. i tested on day 22 and got my positive

Well... my son has been sick this week and I have not been able to get out of the house! I am now two days late and still haven't been able to test!

Hoping to get out to the shops in the next couple of days! (I live in the middle of nowhere so it's a bit of a trek!!) Just hoping AF doesn't get me in the mean time

Fingers crossed...

[JEG]

I have taken a pic but can't find the USB cable for the camera

I think I can see a line in the pic but prob wishful thinking... if I find the cable I will post for your opinions!

boobs like rocks is a good sign, that's how i knew I was pregnant cos they'd never been like that before x

 

[JEG]

God, it is taking all of my strength not to do the other test right now!!!!! I must at the very least wait for FMU tomorrow....:

 

[Princess81]

It's hard to avoid the temptation eh *sigh*

 

[JEG]

POAS this morning - fmu -

 

[Bella2]

you're not out till the witch arrives hon, could just be a shy BFP so don't give up hope! I have short cycles too, around 23/24 days and normally ovulate on day 9 or 10 so sounds like you're in with a shot x x

 

[cosmicgirl]

Don't give up hope just yet xx
