pregnant????

Last month I had symptoms (very dizzy, tired, sore breasts), so I took a test, but it was negative and shortly after I got my monthly visit.. what turned out, I was off by a week. (although I still don't understand those symptoms)

Now a month later, I've gained 1 kilo (and I gain weight very hard), have a bigger cup size and I'm already 3 days late..

Now I want to get a test right away and do it tomorrow morning (or can it be done immediately after a few days late instead of in the morning?)

Only I'm afraid it'll be the same story as last time..
Although I've asked someone to help me count and I've done different predictors and they all come out the same, late and 5 weeks pregnant..

Anyone here with experience too..
And can I wait a few more days (like my boyfriend advises me, but he was already folding my clothes yesterday out of nerves and didn't even notice) or should I take a test as soon as possible, which will definitely give me peace of mind and clarity..

    It's tricky, but a test is the only way to get a clear answer on whether you're pregnant.

    These days, tests are so sensitive that you don't really need morning urine anymore, so it's up to you.

    If I were you, I’d go ahead and test. You’re already a few days late, so you can test now without worrying too much—just don’t drink a lot beforehand.
    Then you’ll have peace of mind, and so will your boyfriend. It’s really stressful, but once you know, it’s over. But it’s possible that even if you test and it’s negative, you still won’t feel at ease. I had that with my second pregnancy—I tested on a whim. Negative. I wasn’t calm because I knew I was pregnant. I tested again the next day, and yes, positive...

    Good morning ladies,

    thank you for responding.
    I took a few tests yesterday and did one right away,
    negative again.. and what do you know? A few hours later my monthly party started.

    Very annoying, last time it was my own fault, but this time I was just 3 days late and how do I explain the rest..

    Too bad, but oh well..

    Should I wait a bit longer?

    Well, here I am again..

    I promised myself I wouldn't think about it anymore.
    And even though I have the same feelings as the past two months, I'm not going to think about it...

    But now it's different.
    On Tue, April 8th, I didn't feel well in the evening. That can happen.
    But it has persisted.. (already 10 days in a row now)
    In the morning I don't feel well and am exhausted.
    Around 12-1 I get out of bed, eat something and it's gone.
    Later in the day it starts to come back slowly, and a few hours after dinner it's just as bad again.
    A rotten feeling in my stomach and acid reflux, the feeling that I'm going to throw up but nothing comes out.
    I have to pee a lot, and my stomach is rumbling like never before..
    And it goes on well into the night.
    Last night I only slept 2 hours.. tossing and turning all night, didn't feel well, bothered by my stomach. What a night

    I have an enormous craving for frikandellen speciaal (which I normally don't really like)
    This morning at quarter to 7 I heated up and ate the leftover of an XXL frikandel speciaal. I loved it.
    And now I'm craving it again.

    All of this together, brings not only me but also my partner to the thought that maybe this time it really is.
    By Sunday I should definitely know if my monthly party stays away,
    and otherwise I'll just grab a lot of extra chocolate Easter eggs.

    You can't know that you're pregnant that quickly, right? Often, when you really want to get pregnant, these symptoms can unfortunately also appear. I wish you all the best, but don't deceive yourself; it's painful every month if it doesn't work out.

    I hope you get pregnant soon
    Let me know how it goes!!!??

  6. justme started this #7

    I get what you mean, and I don't want to get disappointed every month either.
    But my boyfriend brought it up this time himself, while I wisely kept my mouth shut for the very reason you mentioned.
    (Although we have plenty of reasons to think it might be possible..
    because the timing accidentally (even though my boyfriend knew it xD) lined up perfectly with the most fertile days)

    I only started checking sites again this week because it does seem like it, but I'm keeping in mind that it might not be the same this time, so I'm not going to just test randomly.

    And I've read that it's different for every woman; some feel it from day 1, and others only much later..
    As I said, I really only started counting back this week from when I started feeling unwell and all the other things, because my boyfriend brought it up.

    I'll definitely keep you posted

    How are you doing, sweetheart??

    Greetings!

    Thank you so much, Karin!

    That's all good, hehe

    We're really looking forward to the ultrasound on March 14th, so that's soon

    Hi ladies,

    I have a question for you.

    My partner and I only had intercourse once during my fertile window, so it's not that much, but better one time well than not at all.
    Now I've been feeling very different since my ovulation compared to the past few months.
    Since then, I've had cramps every day from morning till night, as well as small twinges on the sides of my belly and lower back.
    Normally, I only get cramps a few days before my period, which is how I know it's coming, but now I have these aching pains every day.
    And my period isn't due until around March 4th, so that's still way too early.
    Also, since these symptoms started, I've been urinating much more often than usual, and I've been burping. My gums sometimes hurt and bleed a little bit.
    I really feel like I'm pregnant, but of course I don't know for sure yet.
    Can I get a blood test before my period, or do you think we should wait a bit longer?

    My first day of my last period was Feb 3.
    My fertile window was Feb 14-20.
    My ovulation was around Feb 18.
    Implantation was Feb 22.

    If the egg was already fertilized and implanted, why don't I have implantation bleeding? That's usually the most common sign that implantation succeeded or didn't. Right now I feel everything but know nothing.

    Could you please reassure me and tell me that everything will be okay and that we'll be able to receive a positive pregnancy test within a week.

    Hi justme,

    I'm doing well, thanks! We're also hoping to have a second little one soon. It's great to read that you're already nine weeks pregnant. How was the ultrasound?

    Love,

  12. justme started this #13

    @hartje hey, that's so nice to read that everything is going well! How old is the youngest? And yes, it's lovely to have a second one

    For us, it was successful right away in the first month of trying, even though we were aiming for half a year, so it was really fast. But I'm incredibly happy and joyful, and aaaaah I'm going to be a mama!!!

    The ultrasound was beautiful, completely normal, very special, and a bit crazy too. After dreaming about it for years, you're there looking at your baby. Next Thursday I'm already getting my second ultrasound, hehe, can't wait, and then finally everyone can know!

    Love,

  13. hartje #14

    The first one is now 2 years and 2 months old. But because of my very irregular cycle, we're assuming about six months. I told family about it at ten weeks the first time, and at twelve weeks to everyone. Now I'd actually like to wait a bit longer.

  14. justme started this #15

    aahww that's fast!!
    oh yeah you can also do the best then it can only be a bonus
    I already told mom pretty quickly
    now immediately with just 10 weeks and 1 day haha my in-laws and 11 weeks the rest

    unfortunately there are already people who know it through a pharmacy so I don't want to wait until 12 weeks either

    why do you want to wait longer? I'm already going crazy from keeping my mouth shut and hiding everything haha

    Tomorrow is my period day again

    About 6 days ago, I had a light streak of blood when wiping, nothing since.
    I feel like my breasts are hanging under my chin.
    This afternoon, a sharp stab on my left side.
    There are a lot of little bumps around my left breast


    ......

  16. hartje #17

    Hi Nicole,

    When is your due date again?

    Warm regards, Hartje

  17. hartje #18

    Justme, I think I want to wait a bit longer because I regretted telling people so early last time. It spread so fast since I was young, so everyone knew already. I thought that was quite a shame. Now I really like having a little secret between my husband and me

    Still waiting a bit... I'm getting a bit picky about timing, hihi. I'd love to be pregnant in the summer. In winter you wear such dark clothes and can't show your belly as nicely if your due date is in Jan, Feb, or March. But anyway, we're already super grateful if I get pregnant again.

  18. justme started this #19

    @hartje yeah I get it.. at how many weeks did you guys tell them the first time? yeah it always goes by fast so that's why we chose to tell at 11 weeks and we knew who we could trust or not.
    How old were you then if I may ask they all think we're too young but we're both born in september 24, the little one is coming hopefully in october and in nov we'll be together for 2 years. we actually thought it was a really nice age but well, unfortunately people always have something to complain about

    that was the only nice thing that we two had a very special secret

    haha yeah I know it I really wanted to have it in december with the holidays, but now that it's becoming october I think it's really nice too! then it's just a bit autumn and the holidays are around the corner. yeah perfect hiih
    yesss I get you, but you're always allowed to have a preference.. it's human.

    I hope for a good test for you soon

    love

  19. hartje #20

    I was almost 16, so that's pretty young. Now I'm 20 and my husband is 22. We told the parents at 8 weeks and family and close friends at 10 weeks. But a week or two later I didn't have to tell anyone anymore because everyone already knew. It's just a pity that everyone is looking and they don't see anything yet, so they wonder if it's even true (the people who were further away from me). And I think with a second pregnancy you notice it sooner
    Yes, it's exciting again this month. Trying to let it go a bit, but good, I still think every time, will it work this time? I probably NEED May 12.
    How are you doing, or you guys, actually? How many weeks are you now?

    Love, sweetheart
