Irregular Periods/ 4dpo?

[LoveMyFamily1]

Hey ladies! I need some help. For starters, I'm 23 years old and been married for 7 months but we have been together since Feb 2012. We aren't currently TTC, more like not trying but not preventing. We would both be so happy for our first baby though.

My periods are not completely regular. I do have some hormonal issues and I'm currently taking Hydrocortisone for them. I generally have a period every 32-49 days. For the most part, it's about a 35 day cycle.

My last period was May 2 and lasted for 4 days. I'm not sure if or when I ovulated but if I had to guess, It was either around May 15th/16th or May 23rd/24th. My DH and I had unprotected sex on the 15th,23rd,24th and 25th. I noticed that I had a decent sized glob of what I think was EWCM on the night of the 22nd. Sorry for the TMI! I've been having some very light PMS type cramps but only on my lower right side and more near my lower back. I've also had some pressure in my lower pelvic region. The biggest reason that I think I'm PG is because I seem to have lost my taste buds. I've been really wanting my homemade chili for the past few days and I made some yesterday but I can't taste it! =(!! I've added so many spices, salt/pepper and it's loaded with jalapenos/serranos and an entire bunch of cilantro. You would think that I would taste something but noooo =(!! Everything just tastes so incredibly bland. I can smell the spices but that's it. I even tried eating chicken with hot sauce today and I couldn't taste ANY spice!

As you all can see, I'm dumbfounded right now.Has anyone else had this in early pregnancy? This would be my first baby if I was pregnant. Does anyone have any advice or comments? Anything would be much appreciated =)

Hi! I've never had a BFP before, but last cycle I think I had a very early chemical because I had very weird symptoms. I have been TTC since July last year. And yes, I had weird taste buds too except mine felt all bumpy and raised like a cat tongue. I also got a rash on my hip and a swollen lymph node in my groin. It was all so weird and different, but then the symptoms started disappearing and I had a weird early pink spotting that developed into AF. I thought I saw a very faint line on a pregnancy test on 12dpo I think. So yes, I think the taste bud thing could be a sign. And for me it all started with being really gassy (sorry tmi) on 3 dpo, and I can't remember when the taste bud thing started. I think sometime around 7dpo. Fingers crossed it's a symptom for you! I know, the TWW is so brutal especially when you have weird symptoms!

I think it would really depend on when you O'd. At 7dpo, I didn't really feel much with DS. My first sign was tender breasts when I was halfway through week 3. Then nausea around 4 1/2 weeks. Lastly was fatigue around 5 1/2 weeks (when I finally took the test.) With this LO, I felt pressure in my lower abdomen around 7dpo. Mostly when DH and I dtd was when I felt it. However, I also have a tipped uterus and with this being my second pregnancy, my uterus may be expanding faster because I don't remember feeling this pressure with DS until much further along. I just started experiencing tiny touches of nausea and fatigue within the past day or so. This is just me though. If you think you may have O'd around the 15th, you would be 2 weeks past ovulation which is enough time to show a + on a test. I would go ahead and take a test now then if it is negative, wait 3 days or so and test again.

Thanks ladies for your responses! I'm sorry ksquared726 about your CP =(! I've never been pregnant before so I have no idea what to expect. Since I have irregular cycles, I recently tried to average my time over the last 6 cycles. Back in 2014, my cycles were about every other month and since December they have settled back into (longer) but once a month. If they remained that way, I should have an average of 35 days which would have put me at May 22 for ovulation. I have been feeling off for the past few days. I had a lot of feels like small muscles being pulled in my lower side,mostly the right. Also a few pinches on both sides and a lot of pressure in the center but really low. I'm hoping that it's a pending BFP otherwise, this is going to be a HORRIBLE period =(. I don't want to get my hopes too high but I did notice that I'm not sore all around like I normally am before AF. I have cramps here and there but they are short and not too painful.

Hi! Sorry it's been a few days. I ended up getting my BFP yesterday! My first ever! Your symptoms sound good with the low pressure. I didn't really have any crazy symptoms until last weekend, when my temp shot up and I started having difficulty going to the bathroom. And then yesterday and today I have so much pressure and twinges in my uterus - and it feels really full. I feel pretty weird. I held out testing until 15dpo (yesterday) so I'm definitely a few days farther along than when most people test. FX your symptoms mean you're preggo! If you ovulated May 22, you can probably do a test now.
