Pregnant or not?

FleurGuest ·
Hi everyone,

I'm new here and feeling a bit unsure at the moment. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
I ovulated around November 11th. Naturally, we had intercourse then (+ the days around it).
After that, I really struggled with stomach cramps and constipation, sore nipples, and a lot of hunger.
Now, I tested 5 days before my expected period with a Predictor (couldn't resist!).
But it was negative. So, very disappointed..
I had kind of assumed I wasn't pregnant back then. But now, last Monday, I suddenly had a day of pretty bad period-like cramps, even though my period isn't due until Thursday. I never usually get this. Normally, as soon as the cramps start, I can go to the toilet..
My breasts also feel fuller, and my nipples are a bit darker and painful. I'm not nauseous. However, I do get bothered if I eat too late or not enough; I immediately feel a bit dizzy. (I never used to have this issue before).
Fortunately, I no longer have constipation.
Could I still be pregnant?

Who has advice / has had similar experiences?

Kind regards,
Fleur

    Fleur, the advice is to do one more test... Because it could go either way, girl... I hope you're pregnant, of course...
    And if you can't or don't want to test, then have your GP draw some blood...

    Good luck and I hope you're pregnant. Let me know

    My first test was also negative, 4-5 days before my period was due. I assumed it was nothing. The day came and nothing happened, so I took another test the next day. It was barely visible. I didn't take a test for a day, but then I did again and it was much clearer. I'm now almost 22 weeks pregnant.

    Friday or later, do another test

    Hi! I have exactly the same thing and on the same due date too, haha, how funny! But I have that problem now too... I did a test from Action a couple of weeks ago and there was a faint line... Last weekend I tested again but with a Clearblue Plus, and there was a faint line so ultimately a light cross. Today I did a Clearblue "digital" test and it said not pregnant?! I did the test in the afternoon though, so I'm not sure what to do or believe. So I completely understand you

    Wow, so glad I'm not the only one with this weird experience!
    I'll definitely test again on Friday; normally I should get my period tomorrow or Friday.
    Pfff, so exciting!!

    Riri, will you let me know? I don't really feel like I'm pregnant myself. Almost no symptoms,
    but I'm also pretty easygoing about it. If not, then next time again. But it would be super.
    How long have you two been trying? This is our first round..

    @fleur I'll let you know! And if I were you, I'd definitely test again on Friday. I'm going to do that too, first thing in the morning!! This is only our first round hahaha!

    Pfff, I should get my period today... Tested this morning, another super hard negative.
    I'll just wait for my period now... If it's not here in a few days, I'll test again. How awful, the waiting game...
    @Riri good luck!! I hope you get a positive test!

    @ Fleur, and still no period? Yeah, it's terrible, right.. waiting: ugh:
    I'm also really curious about my test, I don't even dare to test anymore, because I'm expecting a negative result

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, my period has started here. But it's different than usual.
    Dark red/brown blood. I assume I'm not pregnant, although my husband is sure I am haha. So sweet
    And you @Riri??

    Love

    Aww..
    I did the test from Action this morning, and it came out negative again We're really disappointed.. but I called the midwife and asked what I should do next, and she said to get a blood test just in case since it was positive first and now negative.
    So now we're hoping or trying again haha!
    Wishing you all lots of luck too!

    That does sound really heavy, Riri. It's good that you're calling the midwife if there's conflicting info. A negative test after a positive one is unclear, so getting a blood test is a logical step to get clarity. Good that your husband is supportive. Hopefully, you'll get a clear answer soon.
