Officially TTC #1 - Late period and symptoms?

[Katherine2015]

Hey girls!

I was a member here a few years ago, not trying/not preventing. Back then I have to admit my life was not of the healthiest and I suppose it could have been a blessing in disguise.
I am still with the same man (4 1/2 years now) and still totally in love with him. We have been having unprotected sex for four years now but on Monday I finally built up the courage that I did in fact want to start our family. I expressed my concern about fertility considering the amount of time we have been unprotected so he has a appointment with the doctor next week to see bout what tests can be done.

In the mean time though, everything has been a little off. Is it a coincidence that I spoke to him and I am actually pregnant already? The past few weeks I have been crying way more easily than normal. Usually it takes me A LOT to cry but recently I've just been a bit of a wreck. My periods are usually 28-30 days long, I am now on day 31. My nipples are extremely painful, as if pins are being poked in them and if it gets cold and they go hard then im actually in a fair amount of pain, boobs are swollen and I just want to eat pickle all the time. I've been tired all the time, not wanting to exercise and even this morning feeling fairly sick for the first 5 minutes. I just feel lazy with no motivation.
Anyone else felt like this with a positive outcome?

I try and put off testing as much as possible because I have seen hundreds of negatives in the past.

Any advice, comments or personal similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for such a long post, like I said its been a while

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Katherine welcome back..

First of all I think you did the right thing of having "the chat" with you partner. Its a brave thing to do, and aslong as you are supporting eachother im sure you will be fine! Hopefully there is nothing serious to worry about and these days alot can be done to help if there is an issue.

Some of your symptoms sound promising dont they? (I havent experienced a bfp yet so im not much help im afraid but I didnt want to read and run.)

Im currently on cd29 and if still no af (due from cd28-31) im going to test on Monday so maybe we will both get some good news.
I know when im due on im usually way more ratty and spotty but im feeling calm and my skins fine so im not sure!

All the best and GoodLuck

Thank you for your reply and the welcome back. Feels strnge because all those years ago I thought I would have definitely seen a bfp by now.

I have been very strange this month, never been so emotional and theres so many other things that just don't sit right. I keep feeling as if af has started so keep running to the toilet but nothing. Had the odd 'period cramp twinge' but goes within less then a minute. Usually i can time it down to 30 minutes when its going to start but not this time apparently. I know within an hour of testing it will start so I just don't want to.

That would be great wouldn't it! Do keep me updated and I will keep my fingers crossed for you in the meantime
